Modernizing Historic Glen Ellyn Floor Plans

The original layouts in neighborhoods like Forest Glen and near the downtown area often isolated cooking areas from living spaces. Removing non-load-bearing walls allows for an open concept kitchen that connects to the rest of the home. We focus on integrating modern functionality while protecting the original architectural details that define these houses.

Glen Ellyn

Our team frequently handles galley to open concept conversions in older Glen Ellyn properties. These projects require careful attention to existing millwork and structural systems to ensure the new kitchen blends with the historical character of the home.

Project Investment

With median home values in Glen Ellyn ranging from $500k to $900k, a kitchen renovation is a functional investment that must align with the property's overall market value.

Local Insight

Glen Ellyn homes from the early 1900s often have unique framing and plumbing configurations that require a site visit to understand before providing an estimate for a kitchen renovation.

Common Questions

Kitchen Remodeling FAQ — Glen Ellyn

How much does a kitchen remodel cost?
Our kitchen remodels typically range from $50,000 to $100,000+, depending on the scope of work, materials selected, and whether any structural changes are involved. Every kitchen is different, so we recommend reaching out for a free in-home consultation where we can assess your space and provide a detailed, quote tailored to your project.
How long does a kitchen remodel take?
Timing depends on your project scope and timeline. Reach out with details so we can give you accurate estimates and guide you through the process.
Do I need to move out during a kitchen remodel?
Most homeowners remain in their home during a kitchen remodel. If needed, we can set up a temporary kitchen area for you and always seal off the work zone to minimize disruption. Our team cleans up at the end of each day. While there will be some inconvenience, the process is very manageable.
What does a full kitchen remodel include?
While the exact project details depend on your vision, typically our full remodels cover demolition, cabinetry, countertops, tile backsplash, flooring, lighting, plumbing fixtures, and appliance installation. We also may handle any structural changes like wall removal and help you manage all permits and inspections.
Are there specific permit challenges for older homes in Glen Ellyn?
Older homes in areas like Stacy's Corners may require updated electrical service or structural reinforcement when walls are removed. The Village of Glen Ellyn Building Department requires these upgrades to bring the kitchen up to current safety codes, and we include these requirements in our project planning.
Can you match existing woodwork in my older home?
Yes. Preserving the character of Craftsman and Tudor homes is a priority. We can source custom millwork and cabinetry that matches the original style and profile of the trim found in the rest of your home.
