Featured Kitchen Remodels

Our Approach to Kitchens

When beginning any kitchen remodel, we like to look at ways to maximize the usefulness of the space. After all, the kitchen should be more than just a place to prepare delicious food — with the right additions, it can also be an entertainment hub, homework space, and reading nook.

Is your kitchen flexible enough to host your child’s birthday party on a Saturday night, only to transform into a cozy getaway on Sunday afternoon? Is the layout practical, with a desirable work triangle and plenty of counter and storage space? If not, LivCo can perform the transformation you’re looking for.

If you’re looking for small kitchen remodel ideas, we can help! Not every home in Chicago has an open-plan living space and kitchen. Whether you have limited square footage to work with, or you’re interested in knocking down walls, our team can design a solution that will work for you.

When you’re ready, contact LivCo to help piece your ideas into a coherent design. Throughout the process, we’ll always consider your aesthetic preferences, functional requirements, and budget constraints. During the design phase, our job is to offer ideas — from changing the layout or adding an island to selecting cabinetry options and countertop materials — but in the end, you have the final say. After all, this is your kitchen upgrade, and only you know the features that would benefit your family the most.

Kitchen Remodeling FAQs

How long do kitchen remodeling projects take?

There’s no one-size-fits-all time frame for kitchen remodeling, as even minor differences in what you’re aiming for can result in large differences in how long it takes. Something as simple as choosing a more difficult material to work with could add days to your project; a harder-to-source product might add weeks of delays. And, of course, there are factors that are outside of your control and your contractors’ control that can make a given remodel quick or slow.

What are the steps of a kitchen remodeling project?

A kitchen remodeling project can be broken down into countless pieces, with each step of the process having its own series of steps. At the top level, you start with rough ideas for a remodel that go to a design team. After they take those ideas and come up with an initial design for your remodel, you’ll work to fine-tune the details and confirm a final plan. At this point, contractors will get to work. For the physical remodeling, your contractors will start with necessary demolition, then construct step by step — starting with interior factors such as plumbing and electrical, then rebuilding drywall, then paint and flooring, and finishing up with cabinets, countertops, backsplashes, and appliances.

How custom can my kitchen remodel be?

The sky is the limit for a custom remodel, but it’s important to realize that the more custom a particular part of your kitchen is, the more likely you are to pay a premium to customize. There’s a significant cost difference between choosing all of the possibilities from a selection of options for cabinets, for example, versus paying for fully custom design and build of cabinets.

How can I come up with ideas for my kitchen remodel?

Magazines, websites, the homes of people you know, or homes you see on television — anything can give you ideas. It’s often best to pick a single focus point or idea you really like and work from there instead of trying to figure out everything at the same time.

What can I do to renovate on a budget or improve ROI?

If your budget is limited or you’re heavily focused on improving home value with your renovation, focus on one thing at a time and improving key components that most need updating in your kitchen.
