From planning to proposal
Existing conditions, structural and mechanical work, permits and material selections affect the final scope. You receive a written fixed-price proposal before construction begins.
The time to build
Construction timing depends on the room, structural work, permit review, material lead times and whether several spaces are remodeled together. Design and selections take place before construction.
Reviews
Google review excerpts from homeowners across our service area.
Delta did an amazing job on both of our bathrooms. The contractor was very knowledgeable and professional. I will definitely use them for all my remodeling projects in the future.
Excellent work, careful clean-up and easy to work with!
What a difference! Our kitchen feels brand new, and the design is perfect for our needs. Highly recommend!
Before you decide
Cost, coordination and living through the work. Start with the questions that matter to your home.
Delta’s company-wide planning ranges are $25,000–$180,000+ for kitchen remodeling; $15,000–$100,000+ for bathroom remodeling; $35,000–$120,000+ for basement remodeling. Your Highwood project is priced around its existing conditions, design, selections and construction scope. Compare the scope tiers and what they include.
That depends on how the spaces connect, how much disruption you want at once, and whether flooring, lighting, plumbing, or circulation crosses room boundaries. We compare both approaches before the scope is finalized.
Yes. Pricing is fixed after the design, selections, and construction scope are defined. Any homeowner-requested change or newly discovered concealed condition is reviewed and approved before related work proceeds.
Often, yes. The answer depends on access to essential rooms and utilities, dust containment, project duration, and whether the work affects the home’s main circulation paths. We plan protection and sequencing before construction starts.
Most plumbing, electrical, mechanical, structural, and layout changes should be confirmed with City of Highwood Building and Zoning Department, 17 Highwood Avenue, second floor, Highwood, IL 60040 (847-432-1924). Office hours Monday through Thursday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.. Cosmetic finish-only work may be different, but permit requirements should be verified before the scope is finalized.
We contact you to discuss what you want to change and the next step for your project. The free in-home consultation is followed by a written estimate, with allowances where selections are still pending. Final fixed pricing follows the agreed design, selections and construction scope. See what the consultation and estimate include.
Yes. Highwood is within our regular service area from Lake Forest. We work in the city's bungalows, Cape Cods, ranch homes, and the Fort Sheridan area townhomes and converted homes, with a focus on compact, efficient kitchen and bathroom planning.
The City of Highwood Building and Zoning office is on the second floor of City Hall at 17 Highwood Avenue, Highwood, IL 60040. Office hours are Monday through Thursday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Permits are required for work involving structural changes, plumbing, electrical, or mechanical systems.
In compact kitchens, the layout sequence matters more than the finish budget. Before selecting cabinets, it is worth mapping where the refrigerator, range, sink, and dishwasher land relative to each other - and whether the current triangle makes everyday cooking harder than it has to be. Ventilation also deserves early attention: Highwood sits close to Lake Michigan, and exterior-wall penetrations for range hoods or bath fans should be properly flashed and sealed against moisture and freeze-thaw.
