Kitchens and Bathrooms

Kitchen and bathroom remodeling in Chicago

Rimberio Construction has remodeled kitchens and bathrooms in Chicago homes since 1999. Our own carpenters do the work, and one project manager runs the job from drawings to final walkthrough. Most projects finish in 6 to 10 weeks on site.

Design-Build

One team from the first meeting

A kitchen or bathroom fails on coordination more often than on craft. Our design-build process puts the designer, the estimator, and the site lead in the same conversation from day one. You approve drawings, a selections schedule, and a fixed scope before demolition begins. Any change is priced in writing before the work proceeds.

What We Do

Scope of work

Full-gut remodels and layout changes for kitchens and baths across Chicago, the North Shore, and the western suburbs. Structural work is handled by our self-performing carpentry crews.

Kitchens Full-gut remodels, layout changes, and wall removals with structural framing by our own crews. Appliance, ventilation, and lighting upgrades included in scope from the start.
Bathrooms Primary baths, hall baths, and powder rooms. Curbless showers, waterproofing to TCNA standards, tile work, and heated floors.
Cabinetry Semi-custom and custom lines. We order cabinetry at design approval, because lead times of 6 to 16 weeks set the project schedule.
Plumbing and electrical Licensed plumbers and electricians handle rough-in after demolition. All work is permitted and inspected before walls close.

Budget

What kitchen and bathroom remodels cost in Chicago

Chicago kitchen remodel pricing follows scope more than square footage. Keeping the layout keeps the cost down; moving walls, gas lines, or plumbing stacks moves it up. These ranges come from our signed contracts, not national averages:

Project	Typical range in Chicago
Kitchen refresh — counters, backsplash, paint, hardware	$18,000–30,000
Full kitchen remodel, same layout	$35,000–65,000
Kitchen with layout change or structural work	$70,000–120,000+
Hall or guest bathroom	$18,000–30,000
Primary bathroom	$30,000–60,000

Cabinetry sets both the budget and the calendar. Lead times run 6 to 16 weeks, which is why we order at design approval rather than at demolition. And if the kitchen is part of a larger plan, folding it into a whole-home renovation or an addition almost always prices the work more efficiently than doing it alone.

Questions

Kitchen and bath questions we hear most

What is the average cost of a kitchen remodel in Chicago?

Most full kitchen remodels we build in Chicago land between $35,000 and $65,000 with the existing layout, and $70,000 to $120,000 when walls or plumbing move. A cosmetic refresh with new counters, backsplash, paint, and hardware runs $18,000 to $30,000.

Is $30,000 enough for a kitchen remodel?

Yes, for a refresh: counters, backsplash, paint, lighting, and hardware while keeping the existing cabinets and layout. A full remodel at $30,000 requires stock cabinet lines, no layout changes, and disciplined selections from the first meeting onward.

How much does a bathroom remodel cost in Chicago?

A hall bathroom typically runs $18,000 to $30,000. A primary bath with a curbless shower, full tile work, and heated floors runs $30,000 to $60,000. Moving fixtures, replacing a stack, or waterproofing problems found during demolition add to those ranges.

Is $10,000 enough for a bathroom remodel?

Not for a full remodel done with permits and licensed trades. $10,000 covers a cosmetic update — new fixtures, vanity, paint, and accessories — while keeping the existing tile and layout. We would rather say that plainly than start a project that cannot finish well.

How long does a kitchen or bathroom remodel take?

Once cabinetry and materials are on hand, most kitchens run 6 to 10 weeks on site and bathrooms 4 to 7. Lead times set the schedule, which is why ordering happens at design approval, before demolition ever starts.
