Delta remodeling did an amazing job on our bathroom remodel! Kasia and her entire crew of workers were friendly and pleasant to work with. She was always available, and addressed any of my questions or concerns immediately through text or phone calls. Any design questions that I had for her were answered with photo examples to give a better idea of what it would look like. This made all of the decisions quick and easy. Janusz and his attention to details is very obvious in his work. We are very impressed by how everything turned out. Arek the electrician also did an amazing job, and he was very accommodating. We would definitely use Delta Remodeling again!

Overview
What home remodeling in Buffalo Grove includes
Buffalo Grove's 1960s through 1990s housing stock includes colonials, ranches, split-levels, and townhomes with kitchens and bathrooms that have reached the end of their useful life. Dated cabinetry, worn countertops, inefficient layouts, and poor lighting are common across the village's subdivisions on both the Lake County and Cook County sides. Delta Remodels is headquartered in Lake Forest and serves Buffalo Grove as part of our North Shore and northwest suburban service area. We have completed projects throughout the village's neighborhoods and understand the permit process, common floor plans, and the expectations of homeowners who want quality work delivered reliably.
The strongest remodels here start with the house itself: Single-family homes, townhomes, and condos in planned subdivisions. That means solving circulation, storage, lighting, and material durability in a way that feels natural to the architecture instead of forcing a generic layout into the space.

Schedule
How long does a remodel take in Buffalo Grove?
Construction timing in Buffalo Grove depends on the room, the structural work involved, review time at Village of Buffalo Grove Community Development Department, material lead times, and whether several spaces are coordinated together.
1960s-1990s houses carry more unknowns behind the plaster than newer construction, so the schedule is built with contingency for what demolition exposes. Buffalo Grove is inland with flat terrain across Lake and Cook County portions of the Village. Freeze-thaw cycling affects exterior work but moisture issues are less acute than lakefront locations.
Custom cabinetry, stone and specialty tile carry the longest lead times. Delta confirms product availability before construction is scheduled, so the project does not stall mid build waiting on materials.

What we build
What we design and build in Buffalo Grove
Every room is planned as one integrated project rather than a sequence of separate trades, and specified against single-family homes, townhomes, and condos in planned subdivisions
Kitchen Remodeling in Buffalo Grove
Kitchen projects often focus on cabinetry, islands, storage, appliance placement, lighting, and the connection between prep space and adjacent living areas. In Buffalo Grove, the best plans respect single-family homes, townhomes, and condos in planned subdivisions while removing the daily friction in older layouts.
Bathroom Remodeling in Buffalo Grove
Typical hall baths and basic primary baths from the subdivision-building era, functional but dated Walk-in showers, heated floors, better vanities, improved ventilation, and aging-in-place details such as blocking and curbless entries are all specified against what the existing room can actually carry.
Basement Remodeling in Buffalo Grove
Buffalo Grove is inland with flat terrain across Lake and Cook County portions of the Village. Freeze-thaw cycling affects exterior work but moisture issues are less acute than lakefront locations. That is the first thing a Buffalo Grove lower level has to answer, before family rooms, guest suites, gyms, wet bars, or a below-grade bathroom are drawn. Egress, ceiling height, and mechanical routing follow.
Accessible Bathrooms in Buffalo Grove
ADA-informed bathroom design with curbless showers, grab bar integration, and aging-in-place features that still read as premium residential.
Accessible Kitchens in Buffalo Grove
Universal-design kitchens with multi-height counters, roll-under zones, and accessible appliances integrated into a luxury finish language.
Whole-home remodeling in Buffalo Grove
When several rooms are in scope at once, they are planned as one project so flooring, lighting, plumbing and finish language carry across Buffalo Grove homes instead of stopping at each doorway.
Home additions in Buffalo Grove
When a Buffalo Grove home cannot spread outward, added square footage is planned around the existing structure, setbacks, and whatever architectural review the village requires before a footprint changes.

What happens next
What happens after you request an estimate
Phase 1
Consultation and home assessment
We visit your Buffalo Grove home, look at how the rooms function today, and establish an initial investment range. In 1960s-1990s construction that also means checking what the existing structure and mechanicals will allow.
Phase 2
Design and material selections
Layout, cabinetry, tile, flooring, fixtures and lighting are drawn to suit Colonial, Ranch, Split-Level proportions rather than pulled from a catalogue. Renderings let you see the room before anything is ordered.
Phase 3
Fixed pricing and project preparation
The approved design becomes a written fixed-price proposal. We then file with Village of Buffalo Grove Community Development Department, schedule inspections, order materials and confirm lead times before a crew arrives.
Phase 4
Construction and final walkthrough
A dedicated project manager runs demolition, the trades, inspections and the punch list, working to Lake County / Cook County inspection schedules, through to the final walkthrough.
FAQ
Home remodeling in Buffalo Grove: common questions
What does a kitchen remodel cost in Buffalo Grove?
The current kitchen remodeling range in Buffalo Grove is $25,000–$180,000+. The actual number depends on layout changes, finish level, and how much mechanical or structural work is required.
How long does a kitchen, bathroom, or basement remodel take?
Current construction timelines are 8–16 weeks for kitchens, 3–6 weeks for bathrooms, and 8–16 weeks for basements.
Can I stay in my home during construction?
Often, yes. The right answer depends on whether the project affects the only kitchen, primary bath, utilities, dust containment, or major circulation paths. We plan temporary access, protection, and sequencing before construction starts.
Do I need permits in Buffalo Grove?
Most plumbing, electrical, mechanical, structural, and layout changes should be confirmed with Village of Buffalo Grove Community Development Department (847-459-2530) via the BS&A online permit portal. Standard permits target a 10 business day review; inspections require 48-hour notice.. Cosmetic finish-only work may be different, but permit requirements should be verified before the scope is finalized.
What adds the most value in a remodel?
The strongest value usually comes from solving layout, storage, lighting, ventilation, and durable finish quality together. Kitchens, primary bathrooms, and well-planned basements tend to matter most when the work fits the home and neighborhood.
Do historic homes require special planning?
Yes. Older Buffalo Grove homes can involve plaster, framing surprises, older wiring or plumbing, nonstandard dimensions, and architectural details worth preserving. A good plan protects the character of the house while updating function, comfort, and code-sensitive systems.
Do you work in both the Lake County and Cook County sides of Buffalo Grove?
Buffalo Grove straddles the county line and we serve both sides. Building permits are issued by the Village of Buffalo Grove regardless of which county your property is in. No additional county permits are needed.
Can you remodel a townhome kitchen with shared walls?
Shared walls in townhomes may limit some layout changes, but we have extensive experience maximizing kitchen function and aesthetics within townhome constraints. We identify which walls are shared or structural before proposing changes.
What is the best countertop material for a busy family kitchen?
Quartz is our top recommendation for family kitchens. It is extremely durable, non-porous with no sealing needed, stain-resistant, and available in a wide range of colors and patterns. It handles daily family use without the maintenance of natural stone.

We love our revamped kitchen! The company delivered on time, within budget, and with friendly, knowledgeable staff.
From planning to finish, a seamless process. Our bathroom is not just renovated, it's transformed. A++ service,
The bathroom remodel was a fantastic experience. The company's expertise and design suggestions created a stunning transformation.
Our bathroom is now a sanctuary thanks to their stunning design and flawless execution. A five-star experience.
I am extremely happy with the bathroom remodel. The team was professional, efficient, and delivered exceptional results.
I hired Delta to remodel my Kitchen and Dining room after evaluating several companies in this space including big names. From the start I found Kasia very transparent on pricing and services while also being realistic about what was possible within my budget. The crew was very professional, communicative about scheduling, provided options when challenges arose and ultimately were concerned about my happiness with the outcome. While it’s tough to go through a full Kitchen remodel I’m extremely happy with the the results. I took a very outdated look and layout and with the help of Delta made it a space I love to cook and entertain in. I was so happy with the results I hired Delta again to remodel 3 of my bathrooms.
We worked with Kasia initially on our master bathroom. By the time they had put tile in, I’d already decided I wanted to hire her for our second bathroom Reno, and any of our demo projects moving forward (kitchen was next)! Kasia is very straight to the point, and she is upfront about pricing from the get go. Any add ons we wanted she was able to give a reasonable quote right away, and any hiccups we ran into she was always transparent with. Chris, and the rest of her team, are very respectful when working in your home. They took measures to protect the flooring, along with cleaning up at the end of each day to help keep your home as put together as possible. Kasia has a great taste for design, and will give her honest opinion on picking out materials without being pushy. We received 4-5 different quotes on our project, and I absolutely think their pricing structure is reasonable for the area. Additionally, we had completed multiple major renovations with our house prior, between 2-3 other companies. Hands down, Kasia and her team provided the highest quality work, and attention to detail. I’m very happy with the way our projects turned out, and would 100% recommend!!
They did a beautiful job on our bathroom remodel! It looks exactly like we envisioned and they were very collaborative and communicative throughout the whole process
We purchased a new home and a neighbor who happens to be a trusted friend, insisted we use Kasia of Delta Remodeling. Our friend reported that her kitchen remodel project went smoothly without any issues, so we followed this advice and hired Kasia of Delta Remodeling, on the spot! What began as a kitchen and bathroom remodel, soon became a whole house project. Kasia had her work crew from every trade, busy from day one. We soon hired a designer to coordinate the many decisions along the way. We can’t emphasize enough, the fine results through fine workmanship, that has resulted in our home being a beautiful and comfortable place to live. Kasia and her team listened to us, making flexible changes along the way, and making our dream house come true! Very trustworthy and honest, a pleasure to work with from start to finish. We’re so glad we listened to the strong friend referral. We highly recommend Delta Remolding to bring you the beautiful finished product that you wish.
10 Stars! Total Spa-Bath Transformation & Mid-Project Heroes! Kasia and her team at Delta (Lake Forest) are the best. They just finished remodeling our master and guest bathrooms, and the experience was flawless from start to finish. Here is why they stand out: Excellent Communication: Kasia is incredibly organized. She asks great questions upfront to prevent issues and offered brilliant suggestions for both the design and functional utility of our spaces. Stunning Master Bath Transformation: They tackled a full layout change and a complete plumbing upgrade to drastically increase our water pressure. They built us a gorgeous, spa-like shower complete with a rain head and a handheld sprayer. Reliable & Clean Crew: Chester and his son Peter were punctual, respectful, and highly efficient at keeping the project on schedule. Best of all, they cleaned up thoroughly at the end of every single day—we never had to live in a messy construction site. Above & Beyond Service: We had a random kitchen pipe burst mid-remodel. Since the crew is highly skilled in plumbing, they fixed the emergency on the spot for a very fair and reasonable price. We loved our new master bath so much we immediately decided to do our guest bath too, and both turned out amazing. We can't wait to use Delta again for our basement project in two years!
Delta Bathroom and Kitchen Remodeling did a beautiful job on our bathroom remodel in Lake Bluff. The marble-look tile, mosaic shower floor, frameless glass, black freestanding tub, double vanity, lighting, and fixtures all came together with a clean modern finish. The space feels polished, functional, and easy to use every day. I would recommend Delta Bathroom and Kitchen Remodeling to anyone in Lake Bluff or the North Shore looking for a reliable bathroom remodeling contractor or kitchen remodeling company.
