Halo Kitchen Remodeling
Samantha Almaguer is a one-of-a-kind person and allowed us to help finish her basement. We put in a double sink, mirror, full shower, full basement flooring, and extended her square footage, raising the value of her house.
Starting A Kitchen Remodel Near Chicago
Greta Writes In A Google Review:
Kelly and her team were amazing to work with! We did a massive kitchen remodel. Halo stuck to their proposed budget and completed the project within the time frame quoted! Kelly did a great job of helping us with design elements but also listening to us and incorporating our ideas into the reno. Her entire contracting crew (especially Edwin) were wonderful to work with, incredibly polite and extremely hard working. We will definitely be using Kelly and her team again in the future for work on our home. Highly recommend!

Frequently Asked Questions
Most Chicago kitchen remodels run between 25,000 and 150,000 dollars, with the majority of full renovations landing in the 45,000 to 85,000 dollar range. A budget refresh that keeps the existing layout and updates cabinets, counters, and appliances usually falls around 25,000 to 40,000 dollars. A high-end kitchen with custom cabinetry, stone counters, and premium appliances can reach 90,000 to 150,000 dollars or more. Cabinetry is almost always the single largest line item, often 35 to 40 percent of the total, with labor close behind. We build you a detailed, fixed quote so you can see exactly where every dollar is going before any work starts.
Small city kitchens cost less in materials, but they are not always a bargain, because the work per square foot can actually be higher in a tight space. A compact galley or 10 by 10 kitchen typically runs 20,000 to 45,000 dollars depending on your cabinets and finishes. The choices that move the price most are cabinet quality, whether you keep the current layout, and the countertop material. If you want the biggest visual change for the smallest spend, new cabinet fronts, counters, lighting, and paint go a long way without touching the footprint.
Plan on roughly four to twelve weeks of construction once work begins, with most full kitchens finishing in six to ten weeks. The schedule depends on the size of the project and how much custom or special order material is involved, since cabinets alone can take several weeks to arrive. Permit review in Chicago can add time on the front end, and condo buildings often need a couple of weeks for board approval before anything starts. We order your cabinets and long lead items early and give you a week-by-week plan so the timeline stays predictable.
Usually yes, unless the work is purely cosmetic. Chicago requires a permit any time you move plumbing or gas lines, add or relocate electrical circuits, or make structural changes like removing a wall. Simply swapping cabinets in the same spots, painting, or replacing a faucet generally does not need one. Most real kitchen remodels touch electrical or plumbing, so a permit is part of the plan. We handle the permit application and inspections for you, which keeps the project compliant and protects you down the road.
Most homeowners do stay, though the kitchen itself will be out of commission for a good stretch of the project. We help you set up a temporary kitchen with a fridge, microwave, and coffee setup in another room so daily life keeps moving. Expect some dust and noise during demolition and the busiest construction days, which we contain as much as possible with protection and cleanup. If the disruption is a real concern, we will walk through the schedule with you up front so you know what to expect each week.
It starts with how you actually use your kitchen, what frustrates you, and the look you want. From there we measure the space, talk through layout, cabinets, counters, and appliances, and match it all to a realistic budget. Once the plan and fixed quote are approved, we handle design details, permits, and ordering, then schedule demolition and the build. You will have one point of contact who knows your project, so you are never chasing answers.
