A kitchen remodel in Glencoe typically runs $50,000 to $125,000 or more, and Paradise Home Design has been delivering them across the North Shore since 1986. We are a family-owned, design-build firm based about 20 minutes north in Lake Forest, which means one accountable team handles your design, cabinetry, countertops, permits, and installation from first sketch to final hardware. There is no designer-to-contractor handoff and no finger-pointing when something needs a decision.
Glencoe's housing is the real variable in any kitchen project here. The village is full of older homes near the lakefront and the Skokie Country Club area — many with original 1920s and 1930s footprints, plaster walls, undersized service panels, and galley kitchens that were never meant to open onto a great room. We design around those realities: relocating load-bearing walls properly, upsizing electrical for induction cooktops and double ovens, and matching new millwork to trim profiles that a stock-cabinet shop would simply ignore.
Because we work this part of the North Shore constantly, we know how to spec a kitchen that fits a vintage Glencoe house near the Chicago Botanic Garden while still feeling current. Custom lines like Adelphi and Quality Custom Cabinetry give us inset doors and exact sizing for awkward vintage walls, while semi-custom lines like Fabuwood keep budgets reasonable on larger footprints. Countertops range from Cambria, Caesarstone, and Silestone quartz to natural granite, quartzite, and marble.
Many Glencoe kitchens sit inside 1920s and 1930s houses near the lakefront and the Skokie Country Club area — plaster walls, original framing, and closed-off galley layouts. We know how those homes are built and how to open them up without surprises mid-project.
We pull permits with the Village of Glencoe Community Development Department and coordinate inspections ourselves. Knowing the local submittal and review process keeps your kitchen remodel compliant and on schedule.
Glencoe is about 20 minutes from our Lake Forest showroom, so our owner-led crews are on site dependably — not subbed out to whoever is closest. The same team that designs your kitchen builds it.
Most full kitchen remodels in Glencoe, IL fall in the $50,000 to $125,000+ range, depending on kitchen size, cabinetry level, countertop material, and whether walls are moved.
Glencoe's housing stock skews older and architecturally distinct, with many homes dating to the 1920s and 1930s on the leafy streets near the Chicago Botanic Garden, the lakefront, and the Skokie Country Club area. These houses reward a remodeler who plans before demolition. Original plaster walls, undersized 100-amp panels, and compartmentalized kitchens are common, and they all shape how a new layout comes together. We routinely open galley kitchens into adjoining dining or family space, reinforce or relocate load-bearing walls correctly, and bring electrical up to spec for modern induction ranges and double ovens. Where a vintage home needs millwork that matches existing trim, our custom cabinet lines let us specify exact sizes and inset doors rather than forcing stock boxes into a space they were never built for.
