Overview

What a kitchen remodel in Arlington Heights includes

Delta - Bathroom and Kitchen Remodeling is a Lake Forest-based design-build firm serving the North Shore and nearby Chicagoland. In Arlington Heights we remodel kitchens in Ranch homes from the 1950s-1990s era, with kitchen investment from $35,000 to $85,000.

Arlington Heights kitchens that work over time are the ones designed around the actual house. Local projects often start with this condition: Wide range from original 1950s kitchens to 1980s-90s updates, many closed off from living spaces. We shape cabinetry, appliances, lighting, and stone around how the household cooks, hosts, and moves through the room.

What we build

Kitchen Remodeling features we design and build in Arlington Heights

Every kitchen remodel is planned as one integrated project rather than a sequence of separate trades.

Custom cabinetry

Inset, full-overlay and furniture-style millwork built to the room’s real dimensions, with interiors planned around what actually gets stored.

Islands and prep zones

Islands sized for seating, prep and service at once, with the sink, cooktop and landing space set so two cooks never cross paths.

Countertops and stone

Quartz, quartzite and natural stone specified with the slab selected in person, seams planned and edge profiles matched to the cabinetry.

Appliance integration

Sub-Zero, Wolf, Miele and Thermador packages coordinated with panelling, ventilation, gas routing and electrical capacity before cabinets are ordered.

Butler’s pantries

Secondary prep and service space with its own sink, refrigeration and storage, so catering and cleanup stay out of the main room.

Layout and wall changes

Opening a kitchen to adjacent living space, with structural review, header sizing and mechanical rerouting handled as part of the design.

Lighting design

Layered ambient, task and accent lighting planned with the ceiling, cabinetry and stone rather than added at the end.

Flooring and transitions

Hardwood, tile and stone selected to run correctly into adjoining rooms, with height transitions resolved before demolition.

Accessible kitchens in Arlington Heights

Universal-design layouts with multi-height counters, roll-under zones and accessible appliances integrated into a luxury finish language.

Arlington Heights specifics

What makes kitchen remodeling in Arlington Heights different

Single-family homes across a wide range of price points, plus condos and townhomes

Local condition

Opening closed floor plans in older homes

Arlington Heights has thousands of homes from the 1950s-70s with walls between the kitchen and living areas. Opening these spaces is the single most transformative change homeowners request.

Local condition

Updating kitchens for the downtown Arlington Heights lifestyle

The vibrant downtown area has attracted younger professionals and families who want contemporary kitchens that match the community's modern energy.

Worth planning for

The kitchen is closed off from the rest of the house

1950s-1990s Arlington Heights homes were built with kitchens separated from living and dining spaces by load-bearing walls. Opening the floor plan improves daily use but requires structural planning before cabinetry decisions begin.

Worth planning for

Storage has stopped matching how the household cooks

Post-war kitchens in Arlington Heights were designed around appliances and storage habits that no longer match current family routines. A remodel resets the cabinetry plan around how the room is actually used today.

Delta has designed and built across the North Shore since 1987. See everything we build in this city on the Arlington Heights service area page.

FAQ

Kitchen Remodeling in Arlington Heights: common questions

How long does a kitchen remodel take in Arlington Heights?

The current planning range for kitchen remodeling in Arlington Heights is 8–16 weeks for construction and 12–24 weeks from design through completion. A compact footprint still requires cabinetry, utility coordination, and building access to be planned together. The project schedule is confirmed after design, selections, and scope are defined.

What does a kitchen remodel in Arlington Heights typically cost?

Arlington Heights kitchen remodels typically fall between $35,000 and $85,000. Arlington Heights has a diverse housing stock spanning multiple decades. Final costs depend on the home's era, existing conditions, and material selections. Every project is priced after an in-home visit, not from a package.

Do you handle permits for kitchen work in Arlington Heights?

Yes. Village of Arlington Heights Building and Life Safety Department (847-368-5560), filed through the Village's online Civic Access Portal. Arlington Heights straddles Cook and Lake Counties, which matters for permits on parcels near the county line. Delta - Bathroom and Kitchen Remodeling submits the permit set, coordinates inspections, and closes out the project so homeowners never deal with the building department directly.

Can we stay in the house during a Arlington Heights kitchen remodel?

Often, yes. In a Arlington Heights Ranch home, the kitchen is usually the main cooking and gathering space, so we map temporary access, utility downtime, and the rough-trades sequence before demolition. You decide whether to stay or plan around the busiest phases.

Delta Remodeling is hands down the best! They recently finished three bathrooms for our family. From the initial meeting with Kasia and Sebastian through the entire project with Robert and Irek completely remodeling the master bathroom, the kids bathroom and the powder room, they all worked with us to create three beautiful bathrooms. They are exactly what we wanted. We love it all. Kasia was always available to keep us up to date with what was happening and quickly answer any questins we had. Robert is a master craftsman who made sure everything was exactly how we liked it. We can confidently say that you could not find a better company to work with; we know that they only want us to feel good about the job they do. The are personal and professional in every sense of the word. That is why we did not hesitate to contract them to remodel our kitchen as well. We look forward to another positive experience with Delta Remodeling and Kasia, Sebastian, Robert and Irek. Thank you.
