Kitchen remodeling in Lincoln Square and Ravenswood

Lincoln Square and Ravenswood contain frame workers' cottages, two-flats and greystones, most around a century old and remodeled at least once. We often begin by undoing hurried 1990s work: cabinets fastened to plaster instead of framing, rough sink cutouts and radiator boxes that bury their own valves. The existing room is usually better than the renovation covering it, once the shortcuts are removed and the original constraints are handled properly.
