Palos Hills sits among the Palos forest preserves and is home to Moraine Valley Community College, with neighborhoods of ranches, raised ranches and condos. Many Palos Hills homes were built in the 1960s and 1970s and still have their original kitchen layout and bathrooms.
Kitchens in Palos Hills
In Palos Hills, the most common kitchen project is replacing original cabinets and counters and opening the kitchen toward the living area. Our kitchen remodeling service in Palos Hills covers the full job, including new cabinets and stone countertops.

Suburban remodels in Palos Hills 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 Palos Park, Palos Heights, Orland Park and Burr Ridge.
Remodeling homes in the Palos area and southwest suburbs
The Palos area is defined by its forest preserves and wooded lots. Palos Hills, Palos Park and Palos Heights have many ranches, raised ranches and split-levels from the 1960s and 1970s, alongside custom homes on larger lots. Orland Park grew mostly from the 1970s on, and Lemont mixes a historic downtown with newer custom homes.
In these homes the most common projects are opening up original kitchens, replacing dated cabinets and counters, converting little-used tubs to walk-in showers and fully rebuilding original hall baths. Larger homes on wooded lots often call for kitchens that make the most of the views.
Planning a kitchen remodel in Palos Hills: backsplash, flooring and lighting
Backsplash tile is where a kitchen gets its personality — subway tile, zellige, large-format porcelain slabs, or the countertop material run up the wall. Flooring has to handle water and traffic; porcelain tile, engineered hardwood and luxury vinyl plank are the common picks, and the choice affects whether the floor goes in before or after the cabinets.
Lighting is the most under-planned part of most kitchens. A good plan layers recessed ceiling light for general use, under-cabinet light for the counters, and pendants over the island or sink. Adding circuits for new appliances is often required once you move to a larger range, a second oven or an induction cooktop.
Planning a bathroom remodel in Palos Hills: tile, flooring and heated floors
Porcelain tile is the workhorse of the bathroom — hard, water-resistant and available in almost any look, from marble patterns to wood-look planks. Large-format tile means fewer grout lines; small mosaic tile on a shower floor gives better grip and follows the slope to the drain.
Electric radiant floor heat is easy to add during a remodel, since the floor is already open. It sits under the tile, runs on a thermostat, and takes the chill off a tile floor on a Chicago winter morning.
Why Palos Hills homeowners call us
- One plan for the whole room. Layout, cabinets, counters, tile, fixtures and lighting are planned together, not left to separate trades.

- Clear written scope. You see what is included, and what is not, before work starts.
