Kitchen Remodeling in North Dunning
Wright College, one of the City Colleges of Chicago, sits on Narragansett Avenue in the north part of Dunning. We are based about a mile and a half south.
The blocks around the campus are full of bungalows, Georgians and ranches. Many kitchens here are closed off, with old cabinets and little room to work.
This page is about kitchen remodeling near Wright College. It covers new cabinets, counters, islands and open layouts for the homes you find here.

See more on our kitchen remodeling page.
Plans That Fit Dunning 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.
