Kitchen island

A kitchen island is sized from the working aisles inward, then built for the storage, seating or prep space your room can support.

Islands, peninsulas and seating on one of our Chicago jobs

What decides it

Measure the island only after subtracting the clearances required by open appliances, stools and through-traffic. A smaller island that keeps the room moving is more useful than a larger one that blocks it.

Why this is worth doing properly

A good island gives you prep space, storage and seating without taking away the aisle. We size it from the clearances outward, then plan the drawers, overhang, power and any plumbing inside it.

What you get from us

  • 01

    Solve the layout before ordering

    Aisles, appliance doors, the distance from sink to range and clearance behind the stools are drawn to scale first. Correcting the layout after cabinets arrive is no longer a design change.

  • 02

    Specify appliances before cabinets

    Every appliance comes with exact opening, ventilation and clearance requirements. Reading them before the cabinet order prevents permanent gaps, blocked doors and improvised fillers.

  • 03

    One crew throughout

    The same crew carries the job from demolition through final trim. Separately licensed plumbing, electrical and gas contractors work within the same coordinated schedule.

  • 04

    Nothing hidden without approval

    If demolition reveals structural load, a blocked drain route or old wiring, you receive photographs and a written price before the condition is covered.
