Mid-Century Kitchen Update

The sprawling galley kitchens of Chicago's postwar suburbs need smart updates for today's lifestyles. We reimagine these spaces by removing soffits to gain precious inches, replacing Formica with quartz that mimics period-appropriate patterns, and integrating appliances into sleek new cabinetry that nods to the home's atomic-age roots.

For Arlington Heights ranches and Schaumburg split-levels, we often convert unused formal dining areas into pantry extensions. Our specialty is designing hidden charging stations and appliance garages that maintain clean lines while adding functionality.

We address common mid-century issues like inadequate lighting by installing LED strips under cabinets (disguised as period-accurate aluminum trim) and upgrading those single-bulb ceiling fixtures to stylish pendant clusters.

Every project includes structural reinforcement for sagging floors - a common issue in these quickly-built suburban homes after decades of Chicago winters.
