  • I had never heard of Design-Build prior to working with this team but they were patient and understanding with me from A-Z. They helped me figure out what I can and can’t do with my budget, showed me to the type of materials I can get, gave me multiple ways to redesign my kitchen, and provided a simple easy to understand proposal which we accepted. I was very happy with both the design and build service they provided and I think you will be too.

  • I recently contracted R&R Chicago for Design-Build services to renovate my 1 bedroom condo in the loop. Their Design services made it very easy for a busy professional like myself to understand the construction process and choose materials that would keep me within my budget. And when the Build services started it was like setting it on auto-pilot. They completed on time and I was very happy with the final product.

  • I hired R&R Chicago for a home renovation where we relocated the plumbing for a new kitchen with an open floor plan for a flip. After interviewing 3 contractors I decided to go with R&R because they provided the best communication and were the first to submit an estimate.

    The process after that went very smoothly- material was ordered right away, contractors did their work quickly and with little waste, job site was cleaned up at the end of every day, the work was done with a high level of quality and professionalism, and they completed the project within the confines of the agreed upon timeline.

    I’ve used them on 2 other flips since then with similar results. I’ve been very pleased thus far working with this team and hope to continue working with them for years to come.

Common Kitchen Remodeling Questions & Answers

  • Your cost is entirely dependent on your scope of work. Lower-cost remodels could involve one or two trades and include painting, swapping cabinet doors and hardware, adding a backsplash and adding new lighting. This will likely start around $15,000. This will give you a refreshed look but almost all of the existing material will remain.

    Projects where you’re updating everything – cabinets, countertops, flooring, backsplashes, appliances, lighting, etc. will start around $30,000. This will give you that entirely new kitchen feel.

    Pricier remodels could be replacing all material in a kitchen or expanding and adding more features such as an island, walk in pantry or custom eat in kitchen will be starting around $50,000.

    Please note – this is entirely subjective. There are numerous factors that come into play here including the size of the space, the material you select, labor rates, unknowns (i.e. subfloor is damaged and needs to be replaced), etc. Every remodel is priced according to it’s specific circumstances and in line with your ideal vision.

  • According to our process, on-site construction can last anywhere from 4-12 weeks, with an average of 4-8 weeks, depending on the type of project. This does not include design, planning, material delivery times, permitting, and other expected milestones. This is a standard timeline however please note that there are many other factors that could influence a schedule and cause unexpected delays. We do our best to keep you constantly informed and be active in the process to forecast delays and work around them.

    Our clients can easily follow project updates through our owners portal which gives clients access to photos, reports, change orders, and team communications.

  • Kitchen remodeling (or renovation) Design-Build is a project delivery method meaning we don’t just start construction after one conversation. We use a process that first dives deep into your wants, needs, and desires, your lifestyle, your family, and try and see your vision through an in-depth consultation.

    We collaborate with our trusted, licensed architects and designers to begin the bringing your vision to life. Design-Build gives you the luxury of saving time by eliminating unnecessary selections that might conflict with your vision, timeline, or budget by having a project manager with you moderating the discussions. Our team can quickly identify roadblocks and work with you and the designer to craft an alternative solution.

    Finally before any material is purchased or hammers are swung you’ll be able to see your vision in 2D or 3D and approve it, saving time and money during the construction process being that all decisions have been made and minimal input is needed.

  • An estimate is an educated, conceptual budget with figures derived from similar projects in size, scope, area, and materials. It is not a guarantee that this will be your final price. It may be higher or lower.

    A fixed price contract can only be provided after design plans are completed, all material has been selected, project expectations and responsibilities outlined (such as who is ordering the material), and tradesmen have had a chance to see the site.

    We can provide a rough estimate, usually given over the phone or in person as a range or a detailed estimate that is usually within 20-30% of the fixed price. Detailed estimates are provided after site visits and usually come with a fee that can be applied to your design rate as a deposit if we are selected as our design and build team.

  • Besides the benefits we listed above your alternatives are:

    – Doing the project yourself, finding and contractors, ordering, receiving materials, scheduling correctly, and coordinating your contractors, architect and designer to work together and that they’re playing nice. You’d need a license to do this, you take all financial and legal responsibilities, and you will basically need to treat it like a full time job.

    – You can hire an architect/designer and general contractor or kitchen remodeling company separately, you’d be responsible for communicating to both parties what is needed, and making sure that your decisions will not make your price inflate. You assume most of the responsibility financially and legally.

    – You can hire a design-build firm, pay the nearly the same as you would for hiring both individually, and offset the responsiblity and communication by having one party take charge of bringing your vision to life.

What can you keep in your kitchen? When do you need to have this done by? These questions are important because the inform us what we can and can’t do. If the maximum you are willing to invest is $20,000, you will only be able to replace a few items. We can help make the kitchen feel brand new, but there will still be elements of the old space.
