Elevate Your Space with a Kitchen Remodeling Contractor
In this EcoBuild Plus episode, we answer the question How Do You Choose a Kitchen Remodeling Contractor and explain why kitchen remodeling quotes can come back thousands of dollars apart. Usually it's because each contractor is pricing a different kitchen, and the fix is to settle the layout before you call anyone.
We walk through the numbers behind a kitchen that works:
The work triangle: each leg between 4 and 9 feet, no more than 26 feet in total
Clear aisles: 42 inches for one cook, 48 inches for two
The six common layouts (single wall, galley, L-shaped, U-shaped, island, peninsula) and the trap in each one
Then we look at what's behind the wall. Load-bearing walls, plumbing stacks, range hood ducting and the choice between gas and induction decide most of the price, and most of that stays hidden until the wall is open. We also cover the kitchens typical of Chicago's north and northwest suburbs: older galley kitchens in Evanston and Skokie, and the closed-off ranch kitchens of Schaumburg and Mount Prospect.
Finally, the hiring part: the questions to ask every contractor, the red flags to watch for, and how payments should follow progress rather than the calendar.
