A Local Kitchen Remodeler for Belmont Cragin
The Brickyard is the shopping center at Diversey and Narragansett, built where an old brickyard once stood. Our team is based about half a mile away.
The streets around it are lined with brick bungalows and two-flats. Many still have a narrow kitchen at the back of the house, with little counter space and old cabinets.
This page is about kitchen remodeling near the Brickyard. It covers new cabinets, counters, open layouts and full kitchen rebuilds for the homes you find here.
Tell us about your kitchen. We will set up a free visit at a time that works for you.

Plans That Fit Belmont Cragin Home Styles
- Bungalows: long, narrow kitchens at the back of the house. Smart storage makes them work much harder.
- Georgians: a separate kitchen and dining room. Opening the wall gives one bright, shared space.
- Raised ranches: the kitchen sits on the main level, often with room for an island.
- Two-flats: two kitchens stacked. We plan the work so the other unit keeps its water and power.
What We Check Before the Cabinets Go In
Older homes often need work behind the walls first. We:
- Check if a wall is load-bearing before we open it
- Add circuits so new appliances do not trip breakers
- Run a range hood vent to the outside
- Level floors so cabinets and counters sit straight
Permits and Scheduling in Chicago
- Most remodels that move plumbing, wiring or walls need a City of Chicago building permit.
- We prepare the plans, file the permit and book the inspections.
- Two-flat owners: we plan work hours and water shut-offs so the other unit is not surprised.
- We plan street or alley space for the dumpster and deliveries before work starts.

Belmont Cragin Kitchen Remodeling FAQ
If the work moves plumbing, wiring or walls, usually yes. We prepare the plans, file with the City of Chicago and book the inspections.
Often, yes. We check if the wall is load-bearing first. If it is, we plan a beam so it can come out safely.
If the layout works and the boxes are solid, refacing can save money. If you want a new layout, new cabinets make more sense.
For most of the job, no. We help you set up a small temporary kitchen and keep the rest of the house clean.
