Overview

What a kitchen remodel in Vernon Hills includes

Delta - Bathroom and Kitchen Remodeling is a Lake Forest-based design-build firm serving the North Shore and nearby Chicagoland. In Vernon Hills we remodel kitchens in Colonial homes from the 1970s-2000s era, with kitchen investment from $35,000 to $85,000.

Vernon Hills kitchens that work over time are the ones designed around the actual house. Local projects often start with this condition: Builder-grade kitchens from 1980s-2000s subdivisions with standard cabinetry and laminate or granite tile counters. 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 Vernon Hills

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 Vernon Hills

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

Vernon Hills specifics

What makes kitchen remodeling in Vernon Hills different

Single-family homes, townhomes, and newer construction in planned communities

Local condition

Elevating builder-grade kitchens to custom quality

Vernon Hills subdivisions were built with budget-conscious kitchens that function but lack design. Custom cabinetry, stone counters, and quality fixtures transform these spaces.

Local condition

Townhome kitchen and bath renovations

Vernon Hills has a large townhome inventory where owners want to personalize and upgrade their spaces within the footprint constraints of attached housing.

Worth planning for

The kitchen is closed off from the rest of the house

1970s-2000s Vernon Hills 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 Vernon Hills 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 Vernon Hills service area page.

FAQ

Kitchen Remodeling in Vernon Hills: common questions

How long does a kitchen remodel take in Vernon Hills?

The current planning range for kitchen remodeling in Vernon Hills 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 Vernon Hills typically cost?

Vernon Hills kitchen remodels typically fall between $35,000 and $85,000. Vernon Hills offers strong remodeling value. Builder-grade kitchens transform dramatically with custom cabinetry and quality countertops. Every project is priced after an in-home visit, not from a package.

Do you handle permits for kitchen work in Vernon Hills?

Yes. Village of Vernon Hills Community Development Department (847-367-3700). Residential permits target a 15 business day turnaround, commercial 20. The Village follows the 2018 International Residential Code and 2018 IECC with local amendments. 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 Vernon Hills kitchen remodel?

Often, yes. In a Vernon Hills 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.

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!

Krystl Kraft

We love our revamped kitchen! The company delivered on time, within budget, and with friendly, knowledgeable staff.

Jaymise Collier

From planning to finish, a seamless process. Our bathroom is not just renovated, it's transformed. A++ service,

Kelsey Waak

The bathroom remodel was a fantastic experience. The company's expertise and design suggestions created a stunning transformation.

Derreck Gray

Our bathroom is now a sanctuary thanks to their stunning design and flawless execution. A five-star experience.

Jim Halway

I am extremely happy with the bathroom remodel. The team was professional, efficient, and delivered exceptional results.

Viviana Andujar

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.

Heather Alosaimi

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!!

Tisa Olson

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

Alyssa Mattero

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.

Shari Greenberg

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!

Jason Mayer

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.
