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

Wheaton is the DuPage County seat, home to Wheaton College and Cantigny Park, with older homes near downtown and newer subdivisions further out. Wheaton has everything from Victorian homes near the college to 1970s split-levels and 1990s two-stories, each with its own kind of kitchen and bath problem.

Kitchens in Wheaton

In Wheaton, kitchen projects range from opening up a split-level kitchen to fully updating a 1990s kitchen with new cabinets and stone. Our kitchen remodeling service in Wheaton covers the full job, including new cabinets and stone countertops.

Bathrooms in Wheaton

Wheaton bathroom remodels are often hall baths in split-levels and primary baths that still have the original fiberglass shower. See our bathroom remodeling page for Wheaton, or read about tub-to-shower conversions and walk-in showers.

Suburban remodels in Wheaton 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 Glen Ellyn, Naperville, Wayne and Downers Grove.

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 Wheaton: cabinets

Cabinets are usually the largest line item in a kitchen remodel. The main choices are stock, semi-custom and custom. Stock cabinets come in fixed sizes and finishes and are the fastest to get. Semi-custom lines add more sizes, door styles and interior options. Custom cabinetry is built to the room, which matters in older homes where walls are rarely square and ceilings vary.

Beyond the boxes, the details that make a kitchen easy to live in are inside the doors: deep drawers for pots instead of lower shelves, pull-out trash and recycling, tray dividers, a spice pull-out next to the range, and cabinets that run to the ceiling so there is no dust shelf on top.

Planning a bathroom remodel in Wheaton: bathrooms for every stage of life

A growing number of owners remodel with the long term in mind. A walk-in shower with a low or no curb, a bench, a handheld sprayer, blocking in the walls for grab bars, a comfort-height toilet and good lighting make a bathroom easier to use for years without looking clinical.

For families with kids, the priorities are different: durable tile, a tub for bath time, easy-clean surfaces and storage that keeps the counter clear. Hall baths used by guests and kids often benefit from a double vanity if the wall is long enough.

Why Wheaton 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.
