Kitchen Remodeling Contractors in Chicago's Western Suburbs

Luxe Development designs, budgets, and builds luxury kitchens from one office in Lemont. As design-build kitchen remodeling contractors, we keep the architect, engineer, and builder on one team, so nothing gets lost between a drawing and a finished room. The itemized budget you approve before construction is the number you build. Kitchens start at $30,000.

What's Included

What a Luxe Kitchen Includes

Every Luxe kitchen renovation is drawn, specified, and priced before a single wall opens. Here's what that covers.

01 / Design & Structure

Layout and Structure

Great kitchens start with flow, not finishes. We redraw the room around how your family cooks, gathers, and moves. That often means removing walls, enlarging the island, or borrowing space from a pantry or dining room. The architect and engineer on the project handle the structural side, so a load-bearing wall is a design decision, not a dead end. Homeowners are asking for dedicated prep zones, beverage stations, and working pantries, and we plan those into the layout from day one.

02 / Cabinetry

Cabinetry, Inset or Overlay

Cabinetry sets the character of the room and most of the budget. Inset doors sit flush within the cabinet frame for a furniture-grade, estate look. Full-overlay doors cover the frame for a cleaner, more modern face. We build and install both, and we'll walk you through the trade-offs in fit, cost, and style before you commit. Warm wood tones lead the requests we see right now, often paired with a painted perimeter. Our custom carpentry team builds the details that boxes from a catalog can't.

03 / Stone & Surfaces

Stone and Surfaces

You'll select your slabs in person, not from a sample chip. Quartz, quartzite, and marble each behave differently under daily use, and we'll tell you honestly which belongs in your kitchen. Oversized islands with book-matched veining remain the centerpiece request across the western suburbs.

04 / Lighting

Lighting in Layers

A kitchen needs three layers of light: task lighting where you work, ambient light for the room, and accent light for the details. We plan circuits and dimming scenes during design. Pendants land centered over the island, and under-cabinet lighting looks built in, not added on.

What a Kitchen Remodel Costs in the Western Suburbs

What moves the number

01

Layout changes

Moving walls, plumbing, or gas lines costs more than working within the footprint.

02

Cabinetry grade

Inset construction takes more skill and material than overlay.

03

Stone selection

Slab size, rarity, and fabrication detail all factor in.

04

Appliances and lighting

Integrated panels and layered lighting plans add scope.

Kitchen Remodeling Contractors Who Own the Whole Project

Most kitchen remodels go sideways in the gaps between companies. We removed the gaps.

The typical remodel

Handed off, company to company

  • A designer draws it, a cabinet shop quotes it, and a contractor builds it
  • Allowance-based bids grow after demolition
  • A different project manager appears every few weeks
  • Questions bounce between three companies
The Luxe way

One accountable team, start to finish

  • Architect, engineer, and builder on one accountable team
  • A fixed, itemized budget approved before construction begins
  • We walk your space and stay your point of contact
  • One call answers every question
Our Process

The Luxe Method, Applied to Your Kitchen

The same four-phase process runs every project we build. Here's how it plays out in a kitchen. You can read the full version on our process page.

01Step One

Vision & Architecture

It starts with a walk-through. We measure the room, study the structure, and listen to how you actually use your kitchen. Design follows, from layout options to final architectural drawings.

02Step Two

Bespoke Curation

You select cabinetry, stone, lighting, and hardware with the design team. Every choice is priced into one itemized budget. You approve the full number before construction begins.

03Step Three

Master Construction

The same crews execute the structural work, and on-site supervision protects the design intent every day. Demolition through final install, one point of contact.

04Step Four

White-Glove Handover

We walk the finished kitchen together and document every detail. You get the room that matches the drawings you approved, and we stand behind the work.

Before & After

Kitchen Transformations, Before and After

FAQ

Kitchen Remodeling FAQs

Straight answers to the questions homeowners ask us most.

How much does a kitchen remodel cost?

Most Luxe kitchen remodels run between $30,000 and $90,000, and full projects start at $30,000. Where yours lands depends on layout changes, cabinetry grade, stone, and appliances. You approve a fixed, itemized budget before construction begins, so the number never drifts. For a full breakdown, read our kitchen remodel cost guide.

How long does a kitchen remodel take?

Your schedule is set in writing before demolition begins, and it depends on scope, cabinetry lead times, and structural work. Design and material selection happen first, so construction starts with everything ordered and on hand. You'll know your dates before we open a single wall.

Can I live at home during the remodel?

Most families stay home during a kitchen remodel. We contain the work area, protect floors and pathways, and help you plan a temporary kitchen setup before demolition starts. If your project includes major structural work, we'll walk through what to expect during your consultation.

What's the difference between inset and overlay cabinets?

Inset cabinet doors sit flush inside the cabinet frame, while overlay doors rest on top of it. Inset is the furniture-grade look you see in classic estate kitchens, and it demands tighter tolerances to build well. Full-overlay reads cleaner and more modern. We build both, and we'll show you each style side by side during design.

Are you licensed and insured?

Yes. Luxe Development is a licensed general contractor and fully insured. We've designed and built in the western suburbs for years, and our team serves clients in both English and Polish.

Do you offer kitchen remodeling near me?

If you live in Chicago's southwest or western suburbs, almost certainly yes. We serve 17 towns from our Lemont headquarters, including Hinsdale, Naperville, Oak Brook, Burr Ridge, Downers Grove, Orland Park, and Homer Glen. Visit your town's page above or call (312) 445-0727 to confirm your area.

Tom of Luxe Development, made our home renovation dreams come true! Honestly, if we could, we would give him a 10 star review! Tom and his crew were extremely professional, courteous of our home, paid attention to all the little details and were great with communicating. There were always workers at our house to get the job done as quickly as possible as well. We highly recommend Tom and we are grateful our home was in such great care.

From start to finish our master bathroom remodel was a very positive process. Tom Naglak and his team were totally professional, efficient, and amazingly responsive. They're design conscious and fun to work with. When they say they're gonna do something by a certain date, you can count on being done. Workmanship is top notch. Can't recommend them enough.
