Full-Service Kitchen Remodeling
A kitchen remodel with Alpha House Construct covers the full scope of work. Cabinetry: whether you're refacing existing cabinets, installing semi-custom units, or going fully custom. Countertops in quartz, granite, quartzite, marble, or butcher block. Backsplash tile in ceramic, porcelain, glass, or natural stone. Flooring: hardwood, engineered wood, luxury vinyl plank, or tile. Sinks, faucets, and plumbing fixture upgrades. Lighting, from recessed cans to under-cabinet LED and pendant fixtures over islands.
Many of our kitchen projects also involve structural work: removing walls to create open-concept layouts, relocating plumbing for island sinks or dishwashers, upgrading electrical panels to support modern appliance loads, and adding or enlarging windows. If your kitchen remodel touches the structure or systems of the home, that's exactly the kind of project we specialize in. For kitchens that need a complete teardown and rebuild – studs out – see our gut rehab page.
Why the Kitchen Is the Highest-ROI Room to Remodel
Kitchens consistently rank as the highest return-on-investment room in any home renovation. A well-executed kitchen remodel can recoup a significant portion of its cost at resale, but the real value is in how it changes the way you use your home every day. An outdated layout with poor storage, insufficient counter space, and dim lighting affects your daily routine far more than most homeowners realize until they see the difference.
Across the North Shore and surrounding suburbs, buyers expect updated kitchens. Even if you're not planning to sell, a kitchen remodel improves the functionality and feel of the home you're living in right now. We've seen clients go from avoiding their kitchen to making it the center of their household.
How Much Does a Kitchen Remodel Cost in Chicago?
Kitchen remodeling costs in the Chicago area vary widely depending on the scope of work, the size of the kitchen, and the materials and finishes you choose. A focused update – new countertops, backsplash, paint, hardware, and fixtures with the existing layout intact – costs significantly less than a full gut remodel involving new cabinetry, structural changes, relocated plumbing, and high-end appliances. Most projects fall somewhere between a cosmetic refresh and a complete transformation.
We provide a detailed written estimate after visiting your home so the numbers reflect your actual kitchen, not generic industry averages. Stefan walks through the options with you: where it makes sense to invest, where you can save without compromising quality, and what trade-offs exist between different materials and approaches. No pressure, no upselling.

How Long Does a Kitchen Remodel Take?
Timeline depends on the scope. A cosmetic refresh with no layout changes or structural work can be completed in a matter of weeks. A full kitchen remodel – new cabinets, countertops, flooring, relocated plumbing, electrical upgrades, and possibly a wall removal – typically runs several weeks to a couple of months, depending on material lead times and permit timelines. Custom cabinetry adds lead time on the front end but is worth the wait for homeowners who want something built specifically for their space.
We set a realistic timeline at the start and keep you updated throughout. If a delay comes up – a material backorder, an inspection reschedule, or something unexpected behind the walls – you'll know about it immediately, along with how it affects the schedule. Our clients regularly mention that we finished on time and communicated clearly throughout the project. That's not an accident; it's how we run every job.
Our Kitchen Remodeling Process
The process begins with a free in-person estimate. Stefan visits your home, reviews the existing kitchen, and discusses what you're looking to change: layout, materials, finishes, budget, and timeline. From there, we provide a written estimate that outlines the scope of work in detail. Once approved, we coordinate material orders, schedule subcontractors where needed (electrical, plumbing), pull permits, and set a start date.
During construction, we work methodically through each phase: demolition, rough-in (plumbing, electrical, framing), drywall, flooring, cabinet installation, countertop templating and installation, backsplash, fixtures, paint, and final details. Stefan manages the project on site and stays in direct communication with you throughout. The job wraps with a walkthrough to confirm every detail is right.
