Chi Renovation & Design
Custom Cabinet Builders in Chicago
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJune 11, 2014
“Chi Renovation remodeled my bathroom, refinished the hardwood floors, and painted all the walls. I'm very meticulous and, consequently, I am NOT an easy customer. So, when a job is done with superior quality, I want to acknowledge it and give full credit. Background I live in a 1-bedroom, Gold Coast condo that's about 700 Sq Ft. I hadn't updated it in 10 years and was really ready for change. I decided to refinish the wood floors, paint all the walls, and completely remodel the bathroom. I consulted with and received bids from 3 companies before choosing Chi-Renovation. Superior Advice & Direction Since I wasn't sure exactly what I wanted to do to the bathroom or the colors I would choose for the walls, I was open to suggestions. The Chi-Renovation Project Manager showed me pictures and asked questions to be better understand my tastes, how I would use the space, and my vision. He then gave me great recommendations regarding color and design elements and did most of the shopping for me. For example: He brought tile, accent options, and wood finishes to my home based on my preferences. He sent photographs of options for the fixtures, toilet, tub, etc. This was incredibly helpful because I don't have a car nor the time to do that kind of running around. I was pleased and impressed with the advice and direction that he gave me. He also met with the chief engineer for my building at the beginning of the project to manage all of the technical stuff. He made the process VERY easy for me. Exceptional Crew I was also impressed with the caliber of their expert craftsmen. The custom vanity and cabinets that they made are absolutely beautiful and fit perfectly despite the awkward constraints of the space. The tilework is like art -- beautiful and flawless. And, the refinished hardwood floors look like new. Perfect! And, they completed everything in just 4 weeks! Why Chi Renovation & Design? TRUST... Before witnessing any of their work in my own space, I chose them because after seeing examples of their work and speaking to them, I trusted that they would do what they said they would do when they said they would do it and that they would do it with integrity (in terms of their professional conduct and the materials they used): On Budget - On Time - Highest Quality. I appreciated having the Project Manager (who also provided wonderful design direction) as a central point of contact for all elements of the project and their entire crew proved worthy of my trust... so much so that I felt comfortable taking a mini out-of-state vacation for the last week of the project while they painted the walls and refinished the floors. The Cost I was quoted $12,600 for the work (and that included basic building materials). I paid an additional $4,700 for my custom vanity and cabinets, tempered glass sink, brushed nickel fixtures (for the sink, tub, and shower), and tile. The price was reasonable given my vision for the space, the types design elements that I chose, and the quality of the work.”

If you’re having trouble finding stock cabinets for your home in Chicago, IL, then you may consider installing custom cabinets to meet your storage needs. On Houzz, you can browse through our network of custom cabinet professionals who are skilled at installing cabinets in many different sizes, shapes and materials. To learn more about the benefits of custom cabinetry, average project cost, preparing for a consultation and hiring a custom cabinet company near you, read more below.

What’s the difference between prefab and custom cabinets?
The main difference between prefabricated and custom cabinets is that the latter is made specifically for your home. With custom cabinets, you can work with a professional to find materials, designs and finishings that match the rest of your home. Aside from being functional and beautiful, custom cabinets are durable and highly customizable to solve even the trickiest storage needs.

What are the benefits of custom-built cabinets?
Even though stock cabinets are more affordable, custom made cabinets provide a range of benefits that make them easy to use in your home. Whether you need cabinets for your kitchen, bathroom, garage or bedroom, this type of custom solution can fit in any space and complement your interior design.

You can have full control over the finished product of your cabinet design. By selecting hinges, knobs, drawer pulls, cabinet faces and frames that you love, it’ll be easy to coordinate your cabinet style with other furniture in your home. Aside from just being beautiful, custom cabinets maximize your storage space and accommodate everyone’s storage needs.

How much do custom cabinets cost?
The price of custom cabinets varies by the number of cabinets and the material you choose. Generally, cabinet contractors estimate the cost per unit or linear foot. The average cost for custom cabinets when purchased by linear foot is roughly $800, while a prefabricated unit is around $500.

The cabinet material may impact the price estimate by linear foot or by unit. The most affordable custom cabinet material includes MDF, particle board, plywood and laminate. If you want to elevate your custom cabinet design, then materials like mahogany, cherry, maple and white oak are great to use. Each material has its own benefits, from being durable to more attractive. Before deciding on a specific material, make sure to speak with a contractor about what might work best for your needs.

What is the average timeline for custom cabinet installation?
There are three major steps in custom cabinet services, including design, fabrication, and installation. The design stage usually takes about 2 to 3 weeks to complete and consists of an initial consultation meeting, detailed kitchen measurements, as well as design visualization. The time to fabricate custom cabinets may vary depending on the number and complexity of the cabinets being built; however, in most cases the fabrication time can range from 6 weeks to 12 weeks. And finally, the last step is installing the custom cabinets, which normally takes 4 to 6 days to complete the installation. From the initial consultation to final installation, most custom cabinet projects ultimately take 2 to 4 months.
