We know these houses before we arrive.
A Portage Park bungalow, a Winnetka Tudor and a Lakeview high-rise demand three completely different kitchen plans. We build around the property you actually own. different questions of the same white kitchen. We work from a shop in Niles across 23 areas, and we know what is likely to be inside that wall before it is opened.

Closest to our Niles shop, where much of our kitchen work begins.
Park Ridge
next doorKitchen remodeling in Park Ridge often starts with a 1920s to 1950s colonial, Tudor or center-entrance house whose kitchen sits behind the dining-room wall.
Niles
next doorNiles is our base, and its postwar ranches, split-levels and bungalows often provide more floor area than their kitchens use well.
