Kitchen Remodeling, Bathroom Remodeling and Walk-In Showers in Hinsdale

Hinsdale mixes century-old homes around the historic downtown on Washington Street with large new builds that replaced older houses on the same lots. Many of the older Hinsdale homes still have the kitchen they were built with: a separate room at the back of the house, often with a butler's pantry that nobody uses as intended any more.

Kitchens in Hinsdale

In Hinsdale the most common kitchen project is opening that back kitchen to the family room while keeping the character of the house — inset cabinets, a big island, and a pantry that actually works. Our kitchen remodeling service in Hinsdale covers the full job, including new cabinets and stone countertops.

Bathrooms in Hinsdale

Hinsdale primary bathrooms often get expanded into an adjoining closet or bedroom to make room for a walk-in shower and double vanity, and older hall baths need their plumbing brought up to date. See our bathroom remodeling page for Hinsdale, or read about tub-to-shower conversions and walk-in showers.

Suburban remodels in Hinsdale usually give us room to work — driveway space for deliveries and a garage or side yard for staging — which keeps the house cleaner and the schedule tighter.

We also work in nearby Clarendon Hills, Oak Brook, Burr Ridge and Western Springs.

Remodeling homes in DuPage County and the west suburbs

Homes in DuPage County and the nearby west suburbs span more than a century of building. Near the historic downtowns of towns like Hinsdale, Glen Ellyn, Elmhurst, Wheaton, Western Springs and La Grange, many houses were built before 1940, with plaster walls, older wiring and kitchens at the back of the house. Postwar neighborhoods in Downers Grove, Darien and Clarendon Hills are full of ranches and split-levels. And much of Naperville, Oak Brook and Burr Ridge was built between the 1970s and the 2000s, with larger rooms and builder-grade finishes now ready for an update.

Each era brings its own remodeling questions. Older homes need careful work around plaster, trim and old plumbing. Mid-century homes often have walls between the kitchen and living areas that owners want gone. Newer homes usually have a good layout and finishes that simply look dated. We plan for whichever one you have.

Planning a kitchen remodel in Hinsdale: planning the budget

The easiest way to keep a kitchen budget under control is to decide early where the money matters most to you. For some owners it is the cabinetry, because it is what you touch every day. For others it is the stone, the range or the lighting. Spending on the pieces you care about and choosing solid, simpler options everywhere else is how most good kitchens come together.

The other big budget lever is the layout. Keeping the sink, range and dishwasher roughly where they are keeps plumbing and gas work simple. Moving them is often worth it, but it should be a decision, not a surprise. A written scope that lists what is included, and what is not, is the best protection against change orders later.

Planning a bathroom remodel in Hinsdale: walk-in showers and tub-to-shower conversions

Walk-in showers are the most requested change in bathrooms right now. A large shower with a bench, a niche for bottles, a handheld sprayer on a slide bar and a frameless glass panel makes the room feel bigger and is easier to use as people get older. A linear drain lets the floor slope in one direction, which is what makes a curbless entry possible.

Converting an unused tub to a shower is one of the best uses of space in a hall bath or primary bath. The existing tub footprint is usually about 60 by 30 inches, which makes a comfortable shower; if the room allows, extending it gets you more.

Why Hinsdale homeowners call us

• One plan for the whole room. Layout, cabinets, counters, tile, fixtures and lighting are planned together, not left to separate trades.
• Built from the inside out. Waterproofing, level cabinets, venting and wiring get the same attention as the finishes.
• Clear written scope. You see what is included, and what is not, before work starts.
• Hidden damage shown to you. If we find rot or water damage behind a wall, you see it before it is repaired.
