Chicago kitchen remodeling

Moving a doorway

Moving a kitchen doorway recovers continuous wall for a refrigerator, pantry or cabinet run without enlarging the room.

Walls, beams and layout on one of our Chicago jobs

What decides it

The gain is measured in uninterrupted wall, not in the few feet the doorway travels. We check switches, pipes and structure at both the old and new openings before calling the move straightforward.

Why this is worth doing properly

The wrong layout makes new finishes expensive camouflage. We draw the aisles, appliance swings, plumbing routes and structural changes first, while every inch can still be corrected without reordering a cabinet.

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.
