What Schaumburg kitchens usually need
Small jobs as well as remodels
We take the small jobs too: a leaking sink, a broken drawer, a new dishwasher or a range hood that stopped venting.
Lead-safe work on older paint
Older paint is treated as possibly lead-based until tested; containment and HEPA cleanup are part of the job.
Working within condo rules
Condo kitchens come with fixed plumbing stacks and building rules. We get approvals and certificates of insurance sorted before work starts.
