Before and after: kitchens in Lombard
Before
AfterA Lombard postwar Cape Cod: before and after
The site: a postwar Cape Cod in Lombard. The kitchen as it was: 1970s dark pecan-stained cabinets and light beige laminate. What bothered the owners most: a kitchen with no room to prep or gather. Finished kitchen: a new island in dusty blue with a charcoal concrete-look quartz top and seating.

Before
AfterA Lombard 1950s ranch: before and after
The site: a 1950s ranch in Lombard. What we started with: dark walnut-stained flush-panel cabinets with brass pulls. The main complaint was heavy wood frames that made the room feel old. The result: new five-piece shaker doors in soft white on the existing boxes, matching face-frame veneer and satin brass pulls.

Is a building permit required for a kitchen remodel in Lombard?
Often, depending on the scope.

We tell you at the estimate and file the permit when one is needed with the Building Division, Community Development and Building.
