What Itasca kitchens usually need
Working within condo rules
Many homes here are condos and townhomes. We follow association rules on work hours, elevators and insurance and plan around fixed risers.
Opening up closed kitchens
Homes of this era often separate the kitchen from the family room. We check the wall, engineer the beam and open the space when it makes sense.
Refreshing 1970s kitchens
Kitchens from the 1970s usually have good bones. Removing soffits, adding stone counters and LED lighting makes them feel current.

Before and after: kitchens in Itasca
Before
AfterAn Itasca 1990s two-story colonial: before and after
A 1990s two-story colonial near Walnut Street downtown, a typical kitchen for Itasca. What we started with: 12-inch beige ceramic tile. What bothered the owners most: cracked tiles and grout that wouldn't come clean. Finished kitchen: hickory luxury vinyl plank flooring through the kitchen with clean transitions.

AfterBefore and after: a 1990s two-story colonial in Itasca
A 1990s two-story colonial near The Ranchettes, a typical kitchen for Itasca. Before: white ceramic tile with dark stained grout lines and white double sink. The reason for the call: tile counters with grout that never looked clean. Finished kitchen: warm walnut butcher block countertops with a tight seam, an undermount sink and a new faucet.

Before
AfterAn Itasca 1980s two-story: before and after
This one is a 1980s two-story near North Side. The kitchen as it was: honey-oak cathedral raised-panel cabinets with worn finish near the handles, brass knobs and almond laminate with a backsplash lip. The main complaint was a kitchen with no room to prep or gather. The result: a new island in dusty blue with a black honed granite top and seating.
Kitchen Island & Peninsula Installation in Itasca →Questions from Itasca homeowners
Which parts of Itasca do you cover?
All of Itasca, including North Side, South Side, Nordic Park, The Ranchettes — ZIP 60143 — and the towns next door: Wood Dale, Elk Grove Village, Addison.
How do I contact the Itasca building department?
Kitchen permits in Itasca go through the Community Development Department (Building Division), phone (630) 773-5568. On our jobs we handle the application and book the inspections, so you rarely need to call yourself.
Itasca contractor registration: what is required?
Contractors must register with the Village and be bonded before a permit is issued; Certificate of Insurance naming the Village required. We take care of it before work starts.
Does Itasca require a licensed plumber for kitchen work?
Plumbing contractors must hold a State plumbing license (055 and 058) and provide a signed letter of intent from the plumber of record for each permit, plus a copy of the signed proposal. Our plumbing connections are made by licensed plumbers.
What are Itasca's rules for kitchen electrical work?
Electrical contractors must hold a State of Illinois electrical license and post a $5,000 Code Compliance Bond to register with the Village. New circuits and wiring are done by licensed electricians.
Does Itasca have lead water service lines?
Village has developed a service line material inventory; copy available from the Water/Sewer Department (itasca.com/2033). If yours is unconfirmed, a filter certified for lead reduction at the kitchen sink is a sensible step.
Does Itasca bulk pickup take old kitchen cabinets?
Republic Services handles weekly curbside residential collection; page gives no bulk/appliance/Freon rules. On our jobs we haul old units and debris away, so you don't have to.
Is Itasca water hard?
Itasca's water source: Lake Michigan water purchased via the DuPage Water Commission (from the City of Chicago); two emergency backup wells not in use. It matters for filters, faucets, dishwashers and ice makers, and we plan fittings around it.
Does an Itasca historic district limit kitchen work?
Itasca has locally reviewed areas, including Itasca Historic District (original village area, bounded roughly by Catalpa St, Bloomingdale Rd and Cherry/Rush St and North St). Interior kitchen work is usually not reviewed; exterior changes such as new windows or vents can be. We check before anything changes outside.
Does the age of my Itasca home change the job?
A lot of Itasca homes date from the 1970s. We know these layouts well: which walls carry load, where the old plumbing runs and what is worth keeping.
Do you work in Itasca condos and townhomes?
Yes. We follow association rules on work hours, elevators and deliveries and bring the certificate of insurance your board asks for.
Can you update my Itasca kitchen without a full remodel?
Yes. Painting or refacing cabinets, new countertops, a backsplash or new lighting change a kitchen a lot without moving walls or plumbing.
How does the estimate work?
A visit to see the room and measure, a conversation about what you want and what fits the budget, then a written quote broken down by line item.
Do you serve commercial kitchens in Itasca?
Yes. Hood cleaning and installation, grease trap service and commercial kitchen remodels, scheduled around your service hours.
