Kitchen Remodeling in Beverly: Kitchen Remodels, Cabinet, Countertop, Tile & Backsplash
Beverly on Chicago's far southwest side is known for large older homes, the Longwood Drive historic district and its Metra Rock Island stops. Beverly's big older homes often have original kitchens moved to the back of the house and baths that were updated decades ago.
In Beverly, kitchen remodels often mean reworking a large older kitchen for modern use while keeping the character of the house. Guardian Surface Pros plans the whole kitchen with you — layout, materials, fixtures and lighting — and builds it in the right order so the finish work sits on a solid base.

Countertops
Quartz is the most requested counter surface right now because it is consistent, low-maintenance and does not need sealing. Granite and quartzite are natural stones with more variation from slab to slab; quartzite in particular is hard and heat-resistant but should be sealed. Marble is beautiful and etches easily, so it suits owners who like a surface that shows its age. Solid-surface and laminate still have a place on a tighter budget.
Edge profile, sink mount (undermount is standard with stone), backsplash height and seam placement all get decided before fabrication. On an island, overhang depth decides whether stools are actually comfortable.
Ventilation and appliances
A range hood that vents outside is worth planning for, especially with gas cooking. Hood size and fan capacity should match the range, and the duct route decides where the hood can go. Appliance specs — panel-ready refrigerators and dishwashers, built-in ovens, wine columns — should be chosen before cabinets are ordered, because the cabinet sizes are built around them.
Choosing the right scope for your Beverly kitchen
| Project size | What is usually included | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Refresh | New counters, backsplash, hardware, lighting and paint; cabinets stay | Kitchens with solid layout and cabinets |
| Mid-range remodel | New cabinets and counters in the same layout, new sink, fixtures and flooring | Dated kitchens that work well |
| Full remodel | Layout change, walls opened, new everything including electrical and ventilation | Closed-off or poorly laid-out kitchens |

What kitchen projects are most common in Beverly?
In Beverly, kitchen remodels often mean reworking a large older kitchen for modern use while keeping the character of the house.
How long does a kitchen remodel take?
It depends on scope and on lead times for cabinets and stone. Ordering usually takes longer than the construction itself, which is why materials are ordered before demolition starts. We give you a schedule with the estimate once the scope is set.
Can we keep using the kitchen during the remodel?
Not during a full remodel. Most families set up a temporary kitchen in another room with the refrigerator, a microwave and a small counter. We plan the sequence so the time without a working kitchen is as short as possible.
Do I need to pick everything before you start?
Cabinets, countertops, appliances and the sink should be chosen before ordering, because everything else is sized around them. Paint colors and some hardware can wait until later in the job.
Can you remove the wall between my kitchen and family room?
Often, yes. If the wall is load-bearing it needs a beam sized for the load, and anything running inside it — ductwork, plumbing vents, wiring — has to be rerouted. We check this at the walkthrough.
Is quartz or granite better?
Quartz is uniform and needs no sealing. Granite and quartzite are natural stone with unique patterns and need periodic sealing. Both hold up well in a family kitchen; it mostly comes down to the look you want.
Do you work in condos and high-rises?
Yes. Condo work in Chicago means working with building management on hours, elevator reservations, insurance paperwork and sometimes restrictions on what can be moved. Bring your building's rules to the walkthrough.
Can you work in my condo building?
Yes. We plan around building rules for hours, elevator reservations, insurance paperwork and deliveries.
