Kitchen Remodeling
A Kitchen You'll Actually Want to Cook In — Without a Retail-Priced Cabinet Bill
ALO Builders manages full kitchen remodels for Chicagoland homeowners — layout, cabinetry, counters, and finishes, all under one contractor. Our supplier relationships mean more of your budget goes toward the kitchen you want, not markup.
What a Full Kitchen Remodel Includes
Every kitchen is different, but most full remodels touch the same core pieces. We manage all of them — you're not left coordinating separate contractors for cabinets, counters, and electrical.
Layout & Design Input
We assess what's possible within your space and budget before anything is demolished.
Cabinetry
Solid plywood, soft-close cabinets sourced directly — see the full program on our Cabinets page.
Counters & Finishes
Countertop, backsplash, flooring, and paint coordinated as one scope, not separate headaches.
Electrical & Plumbing
Coordinated trade work for fixtures, lighting, and appliance hookups, permitted where required.
Installation & Cleanup
Professional installation from ALO's team, with a final walkthrough before we call it done.
Where Your Budget Goes
More Kitchen for the Money, Not a Cheaper-Looking Kitchen
A lot of kitchen budgets get eaten up by retail markup on cabinets before the project even starts. Because we source cabinetry directly through supplier relationships, we can often put more of your budget toward the finishes, layout changes, or upgrades you actually want — instead of paying full retail for the box.

How long does a full kitchen remodel take?+
Timelines vary based on the scope of work (cosmetic refresh vs. layout changes involving plumbing/electrical), material selections, and permitting where required. We’ll walk through a realistic, project-specific timeline during your consultation rather than quoting a generic number up front.
Do you handle permits?+
As your general contractor, we manage the permitting process for work that requires it. We’ll tell you upfront whether your project needs permits based on its scope.
Are cabinets included in a kitchen remodel, or a separate cost?+
Cabinetry is typically one line item within a full kitchen remodel scope. Because we source cabinets directly through our own supplier relationships, that line item is often more competitive than pricing a cabinet package separately through a retail showroom. We’ll show you the breakdown as part of your estimate.
