Chicago Kitchen Studio
Chicago kitchen remodeling

Open concept conversion

An open-concept conversion removes the kitchen wall while properly supporting the structure above with the required beam and load path.

Full kitchen remodels on one of our Chicago jobs

What decides it

The opening width matters less than what the wall supports and where that load can land. Beam depth, post locations and any work below the kitchen are established before the finish plan.

Why this is worth doing properly

When the room no longer deserves another workaround, we take it back and rebuild it as one complete kitchen: layout, cabinetry, stone, tile, lighting and appliances. One crew follows one coordinated scope from demolition through the final adjustment.

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.
