Kitchens. Bathrooms. Basements. Additions. Full renovations. Owner-led remodeling from a licensed general contractor based 10 minutes from downtown Elmhurst.
Elmhurst is one of the most desirable suburbs in the Chicago metro area, and homeowners here know it. Strong schools, a walkable downtown, Metra access, tree-lined streets, and median household incomes above $145,000 make it the kind of place families settle into for the long term. The problem is, most of the housing stock was not built for the way people live today.
The median home construction year in Elmhurst is 1964. That means the majority of kitchens, bathrooms, and basements in this city were designed more than 60 years ago. Galley kitchens without islands. Bathrooms with single vanities and dated tile. Unfinished basements sitting as wasted square footage. These are solid homes on valuable lots in a competitive real estate market where inventory is tight and prices keep climbing.
For most Elmhurst homeowners, the math is clear: remodeling the home you already own, in the neighborhood you already love, makes more sense than competing for the handful of updated listings that hit the market each month. That is exactly the work LuxeLine Remodeling does.
Elmhurst kitchens built in the 1950s and 1960s were designed for a different era. We redesign layouts, install custom cabinetry, upgrade countertops and backsplashes, and coordinate plumbing, electrical, and lighting into one organized project. Whether you are opening up a closed-off galley kitchen or doing a full gut renovation, we handle it start to finish.

Schedule Your Free ConsultationElmhurst spans parts of both DuPage and Cook counties, with a population just over 45,000 and a housing market that consistently ranks among the most desirable in the western suburbs. Neighborhoods like Elmhurst Highlands, Spring Road, South Elmhurst, Crestview Park, and the areas surrounding Elmhurst City Centre each have their own character, but they share a common trait: homes with strong bones that benefit from modern updates.
Many Elmhurst homes feature architectural details worth preserving. The city is home to houses designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, Walter Burley Griffin, and other notable architects. Even the more typical postwar colonials, split-levels, and ranch homes in Elmhurst were built with solid construction that holds up well when the interior systems and finishes are brought up to current standards.
Common remodeling projects in Elmhurst include opening up closed-off kitchen layouts, converting outdated bathrooms into primary suites, finishing basements for family use, and adding square footage through rear or second-story additions. The homes are worth the investment. The neighborhood supports the property values. And the right contractor makes the difference between a project that adds lasting value and one that creates lasting headaches.
Kitchen remodels in Elmhurst typically range from $30,000 to $75,000 or more depending on the scope. A cosmetic refresh (new countertops, backsplash, cabinet refacing, fixtures) sits at the lower end. A full gut renovation with layout changes, custom cabinetry, new plumbing and electrical, and premium finishes runs higher. During your free consultation, Jason will assess your kitchen and give you a realistic budget range based on what you actually want to accomplish.
A standard bathroom update in Elmhurst (new tile, vanity, fixtures, lighting) typically starts around $15,000 to $25,000. A full primary bathroom renovation with heated floors, frameless glass shower, double vanity, and custom tile work can reach $40,000 or more. The cost depends on the size of the bathroom, the scope of plumbing and electrical changes, and the finishes you select.
A single bathroom remodel typically takes 2 to 4 weeks. A full kitchen renovation with layout changes runs 6 to 10 weeks. Basement buildouts and home additions vary based on scope and permitting timelines through DuPage County. LuxeLine provides a detailed project schedule before construction begins and keeps you updated on progress throughout.
Most remodeling projects in Elmhurst require permits through the Village of Elmhurst Building Department, especially work involving structural changes, electrical, plumbing, or HVAC modifications. LuxeLine handles all permitting as part of the project. You do not need to coordinate with the village yourself.
