Small condo kitchen with one wall of cabinets

Storage problems we solve in Itasca kitchens
We are carpenters and installers, not a catalog. For Itasca homeowners that means measured organizers built to your cabinet openings, pantry shelving at depths that make sense for cans and boxes, and benches built into the wall where a table used to wobble.
Small appliances with nowhere to go
If the counter has turned into appliance storage, we build a spot for them: a tall cabinet, a lower roll-out or a pantry shelf with an outlet nearby.
Pantry Design & Installation →Food lost on deep pantry shelves
Shelves that are too deep for boxes and cans turn the pantry into a guessing game. We rebuild them at depths that fit what you store.
Pantry Design & Installation →Clutter under the sink
The sink base is awkward because of the pipes. We fit pull-outs shaped to clear the trap and supply lines.
Pull-Out Shelves & Cabinet Organizers →A blind corner nobody can reach
Blind corners are the most common dead space we see. The fix depends on the cabinet layout, and we measure before recommending one.
Pull-Out Shelves & Cabinet Organizers →No place for the family to sit
When there's room for a small table but not for chairs to pull out, a bench built against the wall makes the nook usable.
Built-In Breakfast Nook & Banquette →Trash can taking up floor space
A bin standing next to the counter is in everyone's way. A pull-out trash and recycling unit fits inside a base cabinet, often near the sink.
Pull-Out Shelves & Cabinet Organizers →Kitchen cabinets that simply don't fit your stuff
When the boxes are too shallow, too short or badly arranged, we change those cabinets instead of filling them with inserts.

Kitchen Storage & Pantry Solutions questions from Itasca homeowners
What storage fits a small condo kitchen?
Roll-outs in every base cabinet, a slim pull-out beside the range and a tall pantry cabinet usually add the most without changing the layout.
What storage works in a small kitchen?
Small kitchens gain the most from making deep and corner cabinets reachable, then adding a slim pantry or a bench with storage.
Can you add storage without replacing the cabinets?
In most kitchens, yes. Organizers are built to fit the openings you have, so the cabinets and counters stay.
Do you sell organizers or install them?
We are the installers. Each unit is sized to your cabinet and fitted by our crew.
Do you match the existing cabinet finish?
Wood roll-outs are finished clear or to suit the interior; visible pieces like banquettes and pantry doors are matched as closely as we can.
Do I need a Itasca-registered contractor for storage project?
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 that before work starts.
Itasca building permit for storage project: where do I apply?
Permits go through Community Development Department (Building Division), phone (630) 773-5568. When your scope needs one, we prepare the application and schedule the inspections.
Do Itasca condo associations need to approve storage project?
Associations usually set rules for work hours, elevators, deliveries and insurance, and many require approval for plumbing, electrical or structural changes. We provide the certificate of insurance and follow the building's rules.
Do you work in my part of Itasca?
Yes. Our crews work across Itasca, including North Side, South Side, Nordic Park, The Ranchettes — ZIP 60143 — and nearby Wood Dale, Elk Grove Village, Addison.
