DetailBefore and after: a two-story colonial from the 1990s in Lake Zurich
A two-story colonial from the 1990s in Lake Zurich, a typical kitchen for Lake Zurich. What we started with: honey-oak cathedral raised-panel cabinets with worn finish near the handles, brass knobs. The reason for the call: golden oak doors that dated the kitchen. The result: new flat slab doors with a thin edge in warm white on the existing boxes with satin brass pulls.

Kitchen Cabinet Services questions from Lake Zurich homeowners
Should I paint, reface or replace my cabinets?
Solid boxes and a good layout: paint or reface. Failing boxes or a bad layout: new cabinets.
Can you add soft-close to my cabinets?
Yes, in most cases with replacement hinges and drawer slides.
Is it cheaper to reface or replace cabinets?
Refacing is the budget option when the boxes are sound; replacement makes sense when they are not.
Refacing or painting — which should I choose?
Choose painting to keep your doors and change color, refacing to get new doors in a new style.
What is the downside of cabinet refacing?
The main limits: same layout, same box interiors. We check the boxes before recommending it.
What kind of Lake Zurich homes do you work in?
In Lake Zurich we see Housing development began in the 1950s. Each comes with its own walls, wiring and plumbing, and we plan the job around them.
Do I need a Lake Zurich-registered contractor for kitchen work?
All contractors and subcontractors must register with the Village before work: form, $120 annual fee (Illinois-licensed plumbers exempt), signed $10,000 surety bond. Village pages show differing fee amounts ($110/$120/$125). We take care of that before work starts.
Do I need a permit for kitchen work in Lake Zurich?
It depends on the scope. Lake Zurich's rule in short: Permit required for remodeling (kitchen, bath, basement). We handle the permit when one is needed with Building and Zoning Division (Community Services Department).
