RemodelingRenovation Co.
Chicago & North Shore kitchen remodeling
Kitchen remodeling planned from URB’s Lincolnwood office—family layouts, storage, utilities, and finish continuity managed close to home.
Specialized remodeling experience
URB Remodeling & Renovation Co. is based at 4751 W Touhy Ave, Suite 101, Lincolnwood, IL 60712. That proximity supports kitchen projects in local homes: site visits, selections, trade coordination, and field communication happen close to the residences we remodel.
Many Lincolnwood kitchens sit in family ranch or open-plan homes where flow to dining and living areas, storage, and durable finishes matter as much as the appliance package. URB studies circulation, utilities, ventilation, and adjoining materials so the finished kitchen feels continuous with the rest of the home rather than installed as an isolated room.
The Village of Lincolnwood publishes a kitchen or bath remodel handout covering common submittal expectations for residential work (https://www.lincolnwoodil.org/DocumentCenter/View/2234/Kitchen-or-Bath-Remodel-Handout). During planning, URB organizes scope, drawings, contractor information, and trade documentation so current Village requirements can be confirmed for the property. Broader Lincolnwood remodeling context is on our Lincolnwood service-area page.
Since 1986, URB has planned and managed residential kitchens across Chicago and the North Shore from this Lincolnwood base. An experienced project manager keeps layout decisions, material lead times, permits, protection, and the walkthrough on one accountable path.
Scope & details
Work triangles, islands or peninsulas, seating, and connections to dining or living rooms planned for how the household actually uses the home.
Cabinetry, pantry solutions, appliance garages, and hardware organized around real routines—not catalog filler.
Plumbing, electrical, and ventilation coordinated with existing routes and any layout changes before finishes are ordered.
Counters, backsplashes, flooring, paint, lighting, and trim transitions aligned with adjoining rooms.
Sightlines, ceiling conditions, and furniture zones considered when the kitchen is the center of a connected main level.
Selections, trade sequence, protection, progress updates, and closeout handled through one local team based on Touhy Avenue.
Plan beforePlanning priorities
A meaningful scope is specific to the property. Existing construction, applicable permits and inspections, material lead times, access, occupancy, and connected finish work can all influence the correct approach.
Floors, walls, utilities, and earlier renovations can shape what is practical. Investigation early in planning keeps assumptions out of the budget narrative.
When the residence is in a multi-unit building, alteration procedures, insurance documents, work hours, deliveries, and protection are planned alongside the kitchen scope.
Cabinets, appliances, counters, and specialty finishes drive sequencing. Ordering responsibilities and arrival windows are established before demolition where practical.
A managed renovation
We begin with what is not working, the desired result, known property conditions, timing, and investment range.
Scope, responsibilities, existing conditions, approvals, selections, logistics, and the construction sequence come into focus.
A project manager coordinates trades, materials, protection, progress, communication, and finish quality.
We review the work with the homeowner, address final items, and close the project with a clear walkthrough.
