Home and Kitchen Remodeling in Arlington Heights

Arlington Heights has a lot of old homes — a handful date back from the late 1800s or early 1900s. These are established communities that have a lot of well-cared-for homes that eventually need kitchen remodeling, and many of which are located near the popular downtown area.

One of those homes in Arlington Heights is an approximately 80-year-old house owned by Sarah and Chris. Rosseland Remodeling has worked on this home several times, much to the satisfaction of its owners. Our customer was particularly happy with the galley kitchen that we recently designed and installed.

The galley kitchen is in a narrow space, yet we made it open and inviting by opening the area up through the use of lots of white, both in wall space and cabinet colors. We added a modern touch with glass tile backsplashes, modern stainless-steel appliances, a granite countertop, and new flooring that was in keeping with the character of the home. This remodel also involved removing a wall and reworking a small set of stairs to open up the area.

Why Choose Rosseland Remodeling in Arlington Heights?

Remodeling older homes is a challenge and is one that not all contractors can do efficiently. The older the building, the greater the possibility of encountering possible problems while work proceeds. Older homes often have galvanized pipes for plumbing, which can rust and may need to be replaced. Other problems can include little or no insulation in walls, electrical wiring that may have insufficient capacity, is frayed, or presents other difficulties that can threaten the safety of your home, along with plaster walls that can be difficult to cut through or demolish.

“We have used Rosseland Remodeling for other projects in our home, so when it was time to remodel our kitchen in our Arlington Heights home, we knew we were in good hands. Chris Rosseland gave us a fair and honest quote for a full remodel, including new countertops, backsplash, cabinets, and floors. We also reworked a small set of stairs and removed a wall.

“I LOVE ROSSELAND REMODELING!!!! I could not be happier. Chris Rosseland went from a nice, professional contractor to now a loved part of our family.

I didn’t take this remodel lightly, I interviewed 7 companies before deciding on a contractor that I thought would be honest, reasonably priced, and not creepy to have in my home day in and day out. I found that in Chris Rosseland. He has a very kind demeanor to him, and that kindness does not disappear throughout the construction process or after. Chris is involved in the entire process and is on the site on a daily basis. His FIRST concern is his customer’s happiness.

His crews are also excellent! His crews were here working when they were suppose to, always on time, and sometimes worked even on the weekends. They were always polite and respectful of our family, and they did excellent work. None of the framing was prefabricated, and all were constructed on-site. Chris noticed my drain tiles were not draining properly and installed a new sump pump in the addition area. The attention to detail was really impressive. If I wasn’t happy with something, all I had to do was tell him and he had it fixed, usually the next day, no questions asked. The progress was ongoing, there was no “dead time”. Each day I’d come home and think “Wow look at all the work they got done today”. On days I was home I never felt like my space was invaded by strangers, they were very respectful. Especially since I have little ears around, there was not any cursing or disrespectful language that we heard; also there was not any trash left around or cigarette butts. The work was done on time and on budget.

I have referred Rosseland to my friends, family, and coworkers, and neighbors. It’s funny because I see a home not far from mine that is having similar work done to it but by a different contractor, and I feel sorry for the people because their home is still being worked on today. We were done in July and have been enjoying our new space ever since. Rosseland Remodeling is wonderful.

Addition of a 24×22 family room, a basement underneath it, replaced a one-car attached garage made a two-car attached garage, new siding on the entire house, new roofing with new ventilation system for the entire house, new driveway, patio, gas fireplace, moved stairs, brickwork, new gutters, soffits, fascia, reblew insulation in the attic, and hardwood floors.”
