I can not say enough positive things about the experience working with Kasia and Sebastian. They are top notch! Knowledgeable , professional, hard working, honest and fairly priced. I would recommend them to anyone looking to get a job done. Also, I should mention they are timely and when they say they will be there, they really mean it. Our kitchen turned out beautiful and I am thrilled with the quality as well.

Overview
What a kitchen remodel in Northfield includes
Delta - Bathroom and Kitchen Remodeling is a Lake Forest-based design-build firm serving the North Shore and nearby Chicagoland. In Northfield we remodel kitchens in Ranch homes from the 1950s-1980s era, with kitchen investment from $55,000 to $130,000.
Northfield kitchens that work over time are the ones designed around the actual house. Local projects often start with this condition: Mid-century kitchens in spacious homes, many with original layouts from the 1960s-70s needing full modernization. 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 Northfield
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 Northfield
Universal-design layouts with multi-height counters, roll-under zones and accessible appliances integrated into a luxury finish language.
Northfield specifics
What makes kitchen remodeling in Northfield different
Single-family homes on generous lots, many with mature landscaping
Local condition
Modernizing ranch kitchens with generous footprints
Northfield ranches have larger-than-average kitchens that were designed for 1960s living. These spacious rooms transform beautifully with updated cabinetry, islands, and modern appliances.
Local condition
Outdoor kitchen connections
Northfield's generous lots and mature landscaping make indoor-outdoor kitchen connections popular. Sliding doors, pass-throughs, and covered outdoor prep areas extend the kitchen living space.
Worth planning for
The kitchen is closed off from the rest of the house
1950s-1980s Northfield 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 Northfield 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 Northfield service area page.

FAQ
Kitchen Remodeling in Northfield: common questions
How long does a kitchen remodel take in Northfield?
The current planning range for kitchen remodeling in Northfield is 8–16 weeks for construction and 12–24 weeks from design through completion. Layout changes, existing utilities, material lead times, and permits affect the schedule. The project schedule is confirmed after design, selections, and scope are defined.
What does a kitchen remodel in Northfield typically cost?
Northfield kitchen remodels typically fall between $55,000 and $130,000. Northfield's larger lots and spacious homes support generous kitchen footprints. The village's proximity to our headquarters means fast response times. Every project is priced after an in-home visit, not from a package.
Do you handle permits for kitchen work in Northfield?
Yes. Village of Northfield Community Development Department at 361 Happ Road (847-784-3551). Permits for substantive remodels require a Floor Area Ratio Worksheet submission alongside the standard permit packet, which is a stricter FAR compliance layer than most surrounding villages. 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 Northfield kitchen remodel?
Often, yes. In a Northfield 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.

Rebuild of chimney from the roof line up. From all that I can tell / inspect, they have done an excellent quality job, complete with new concrete topper. Yes, I recommend Delta Remodeling for masonry / Tuck-pointing work. Rick.
Delta helped us gut and restore our dated master bathroom. They were extremely helpful in rolling with the various changes that we had to make along the way and being patient as we took a break to figure out some last minute changes to our design. If there was one thing they could have done better, it would be forcing us to be more organized so we wouldn't have had to take a break when things didn't go as planned. If you're looking for flexibility and a make anything work attitude, Delta is the company for your project.
Our home renovation was a great experience. The team and dedication craftsmanship resulted in a new beautiful and functional new space.
Filip is a fantastic project manager, the team showed up on time did really good work, would definitely recommend them.
Very pleased with out hone renovation. Professionally and high-quality work.
The masonary repairs to our chimney were excellent. The guys that did our project were first class. You could just tell that they took a lot of pride in their work and it showed on the finished job. I would highly recommend Delta Tuckpointing.
Excellent job, Delta! Guys were efficient and good quality in their work. Also, I also got a quote from a different company and Delta was a couple thousand less. Way to go, Delta!
Highly pleased with the bathroom remodel. The team provided great suggestions and delivered a high-quality renovation on time.
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.
I hired Delta to remodel my shower, including a new glass structure and shower door. The team was excellent with a keen eye for design and exceptional professionalism and high quality work with respect to all aspects of the project. On time, on budget, highly responsive with great attention to detail. I look forward to working with Delta on future projects!
