Frequently asked questions

How much does a kitchen remodel cost on Chicago's North Shore?

Most full kitchen remodels on Chicago's North Shore range from about $40,000 to $100,000+, depending on size, cabinetry, countertops, appliances, and whether walls move. Paradise Home Design gives a detailed written estimate after a free consultation — call (847) 681-9000.

How long does a kitchen remodel take?

A typical full kitchen remodel takes 6 to 12 weeks of on-site work, after 3 to 6 weeks of design and cabinet/countertop ordering. We give you a project schedule up front and manage it as your single point of contact.

Do you handle permits and design, or do I need my own people?

We handle both. As a licensed design-build remodeler with an in-house design team, we design your kitchen, pull all permits, coordinate trades, and build exactly what was designed — one accountable team from start to finish.

What cabinet brands do you carry?

We carry Candlelight, Fabuwood, Homecrest, Medallion, Woodland, and R.D. Henry cabinetry in inset and overlay styles, painted or stained. Visit our Lake Forest showroom to see samples, or call (847) 681-9000.

Can I stay in my home during the remodel?

Yes. Most homeowners stay home during a kitchen remodel. We set up dust protection and a temporary kitchen plan, sequence the work to limit disruption, and keep the rest of your home clean and accessible.
