Cost

Kitchen remodel costs vary by market and scope. Across the communities LuxeLine serves, kitchen remodels range from $22,000 for a cosmetic refresh in Schaumburg to $125,000 or more for a full gut renovation in Hinsdale. A mid-range kitchen renovation in most suburbs runs $35,000 to $65,000. During your free consultation, Jason will assess your specific kitchen and provide a realistic budget range.

Bathroom remodels range from $12,000 for a hall bath update in Schaumburg to $100,000 or more for a full primary suite transformation in Hinsdale. A mid-range primary bathroom renovation in most suburbs runs $20,000 to $48,000. Jason provides a realistic budget range during the free consultation.

Basement remodels typically range from $30,000 to $75,000 or more depending on the size, features, and whether moisture remediation is required. A basic finish-out runs $30,000 to $45,000. A full-featured basement with a bathroom, egress window, and wet bar can reach $60,000 to $75,000+.

Home addition costs range from $25,000 for a small bump-out to $400,000 or more for a large second-story addition. A rear extension typically runs $80,000 to $200,000. A first-floor primary suite addition runs $100,000 to $250,000.

Home values, material expectations, and project complexity differ by community. Hinsdale homeowners with $1M+ properties select premium materials (custom millwork, natural stone, professional-grade appliances) that carry higher costs. Schaumburg homeowners with $350,000 homes select durable, quality materials at more accessible price points. Both get the same construction standards and the same 24-month guarantee.

LuxeLine offers a free on-site consultation. During that visit, Jason assesses your space and provides a written scope outline and a ballpark budget range. This is more useful than a blind estimate because it accounts for the actual conditions of your home, not just square footage.

Timeline

Most full kitchen renovations take 6 to 10 weeks from demolition to final walkthrough. Larger or more complex kitchens in markets like Oak Brook and Hinsdale can run 8 to 14 weeks. The primary variables are custom cabinetry lead times (4 to 8 weeks), the extent of structural changes, and local permitting schedules.

A hall bath or guest bath with no layout changes typically takes 2 to 3 weeks. A full primary bathroom renovation with layout reconfiguration, custom tile, and heated flooring runs 4 to 8 weeks.

Most basement remodels take 4 to 8 weeks from construction start to final walkthrough. Projects with bathrooms, egress windows, and moisture remediation run toward the longer end.

Most home additions take 3 to 6 months from construction start to final walkthrough. Design and permitting add 4 to 8 weeks before construction begins. The timeline depends on the size, complexity, foundation requirements, and local permitting schedules.

The most common causes are custom material lead times (especially cabinetry), permitting and inspection scheduling, weather (for additions), and unforeseen conditions discovered behind walls or under floors. Jason communicates any schedule impacts immediately and adjusts the plan.

Kitchen Remodeling

In most homes built before 2000, opening the kitchen to adjacent living spaces is the single most impactful change. It improves functionality, natural light, and the connection between cooking and living areas. Jason will assess the structural implications during your consultation.

It depends on the condition of the cabinet boxes and your goals. If the boxes are structurally sound and the layout works, refacing is a cost-effective option. If the boxes are worn, the layout is wrong, or you want different storage configurations, full replacement with custom cabinetry is the better investment.

Quartz is the most popular choice for its consistent appearance, stain resistance, and low maintenance. Quartzite offers a natural stone look with superior durability. Granite provides natural variation and heat resistance. Marble delivers visual impact but requires more maintenance. Jason will walk you through the practical trade-offs during your consultation.

Yes. We coordinate with appliance selections including Wolf, Thermador, Viking, Sub-Zero, and others to ensure proper fitment, ventilation, gas lines, and electrical service. Professional-grade appliances have specific installation requirements that must be addressed during the design phase.

Bathroom Remodeling

In most primary bathroom remodels, yes. Tub/shower combos were the builder standard from the 1950s through the 1990s, but most homeowners rarely use the tub for bathing. A walk-in shower with frameless glass is used daily and is the feature most buyers prioritize.

Waterproofing. A bathroom that looks beautiful but leaks behind the walls or under the floor will develop mold, damage framing, and require costly repairs. LuxeLine uses liquid membrane waterproofing systems, pre-formed shower pans, and proper drain assemblies on every project.

In a bathroom with tile or stone flooring, heated floors transform the daily experience from October through April. The system adds a modest amount to the total project cost, operates efficiently with a dedicated thermostat, and is one of the most requested features across every market LuxeLine serves.

Quartz is the most popular choice because it resists stains, does not require sealing, and is available in a wide range of colors and patterns. Natural stone like marble is also an option but requires periodic sealing and is more susceptible to etching.

Basement Remodeling

Common signs include white mineral deposits (efflorescence) on foundation walls, musty smells, visible water stains on the floor or walls, condensation on pipes, or a sump pump that runs frequently. Some moisture issues are only detectable through testing. Jason evaluates every basement for moisture conditions during the free consultation.

Yes. Most basements can accommodate a bathroom. Because basement drains are below the main sewer line, a sewage ejector pump is required. LuxeLine handles the plumbing rough-in, ejector installation, and connection to the existing waste system.

If the basement includes a bedroom, building code requires an egress window or door meeting specific size requirements for emergency exit. LuxeLine handles foundation cutting, window well excavation, installation, and waterproofing. This is a code requirement, not an optional upgrade.

Luxury vinyl plank (LVP) is the most popular choice because it is waterproof, durable, comfortable underfoot, and available in styles that look like real wood. Porcelain tile and engineered hardwood with moisture barriers are also good options. Standard hardwood and carpet over bare concrete are not recommended below grade.

A finished basement adds usable square footage at a lower cost per square foot than any addition or upper-level renovation. In markets where homes sell above $350,000, a well-finished basement with a bathroom and proper egress makes the home significantly more attractive to buyers.

Home Additions

In many cases, yes. Second-story additions require the existing foundation and first-floor framing to support the additional load. Jason will evaluate the existing structure during your consultation and determine if reinforcement is needed. Zoning requirements (height limits, setbacks) also factor into feasibility.

It should, and at LuxeLine it will. Matching rooflines, siding materials, window styles, trim profiles, and interior finishes is fundamental to how we build additions. An addition that looks like an afterthought is a failure regardless of the square footage it adds.

Structural engineering is required for all additions. LuxeLine coordinates with structural engineers and develops the architectural plans needed for permitting. If you are also working with an architect, we coordinate with them to execute the design.

Materials and Design

We handle both. Jason works with you on layout planning, material selection, and design decisions as part of the project. If you are also working with an interior designer or architect, we coordinate with them to execute the design with precision.

Yes. Jason walks you through the trade-offs on every major material decision. Not just appearance, but performance, durability, maintenance, and cost. You make the final choices with the information you need to choose confidently.

During Construction

In most cases, yes. For kitchen remodels, many homeowners set up a temporary kitchen station in a dining room or basement. For bathroom remodels, you use an alternate bathroom. For additions, the new structure is built separately until the connection point is opened.

Adjacent rooms are sealed off from dust and debris. We lay floor protection on paths between the work area and exits. Tools are organized, debris is removed daily, and the work area is cleaned at the end of each day.

It happens. Older homes sometimes have conditions behind walls or under floors that were not visible during the initial assessment. If we encounter something unexpected, Jason communicates it to you immediately, explains the options, and provides a cost and timeline impact before proceeding.

Yes. LuxeLine handles all permitting through the local municipality as part of every project. Some communities also require architectural review, which LuxeLine manages.

At every major construction phase, we stop work, walk you through what has been completed, and get your approval before proceeding. You sign off on rough-in before drywall, waterproofing before tile, cabinet placement before countertops, and finishes before the final phase. See our full process →
