Overview
What a kitchen remodel in Buffalo Grove includes
Delta - Bathroom and Kitchen Remodeling is a Lake Forest-based design-build firm serving the North Shore and nearby Chicagoland. In Buffalo Grove we remodel kitchens in Colonial homes from the 1960s-1990s era, with kitchen investment from $35,000 to $85,000.
Buffalo Grove kitchens that work over time are the ones designed around the actual house. Local projects often start with this condition: Suburban kitchens from the 1970s-90s with standard layouts, many receiving minor updates that are now outdated. 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 Buffalo Grove
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 Buffalo Grove
Universal-design layouts with multi-height counters, roll-under zones and accessible appliances integrated into a luxury finish language.
Buffalo Grove specifics
What makes kitchen remodeling in Buffalo Grove different
Single-family homes, townhomes, and condos in planned subdivisions
Local condition
Full kitchen renovations in 1970s-80s homes
Buffalo Grove's large inventory of homes from this era need comprehensive kitchen updates. Layouts, cabinetry, countertops, flooring, and lighting all need replacement.
Local condition
Condo and townhome kitchen upgrades
Buffalo Grove's condo and townhome communities have units with builder-standard kitchens that benefit from upgraded cabinetry, counters, and fixtures.
Worth planning for
The kitchen is closed off from the rest of the house
1960s-1990s Buffalo Grove 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 Buffalo Grove 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 Buffalo Grove service area page.

FAQ
Kitchen Remodeling in Buffalo Grove: common questions
How long does a kitchen remodel take in Buffalo Grove?
The current planning range for kitchen remodeling in Buffalo Grove 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 Buffalo Grove typically cost?
Buffalo Grove kitchen remodels typically fall between $35,000 and $85,000. Buffalo Grove straddles the Lake/Cook county line. Permits are issued by the village regardless of which county side your property sits on. Every project is priced after an in-home visit, not from a package.
Do you handle permits for kitchen work in Buffalo Grove?
Yes. 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. 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 Buffalo Grove kitchen remodel?
Often, yes. In a Buffalo Grove Colonial 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.

When hiring remodeling contractors, we chose a stellar team who converted our attic into a cozy, functional office space with incredible attention to detail and efficiency.
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.
