Kitchen Remodelers in Joliet, IL

Joliet is a Will County city of about 150,445 residents, and the kitchen remodelers on this page work well beyond its limits. Of the 40 businesses on this page, 28 sit in Will County, 6 in Kendall, 3 in Cook, 2 in Grundy and 1 in DuPage, and a few are based in the smaller towns of Morris, Shorewood and Minooka. Half of Joliet's housing units were built in or before 1985, so plenty of kitchens in town are original to houses that are decades old.

Age matters for the work itself. Homes built before 1978 fall under the EPA lead-safe renovation rule, which requires anyone paid to disturb painted surfaces in those homes to be certified and their employees trained. In an older Joliet house, a kitchen job that strips cabinets and opens walls disturbs painted surfaces, so it is fair to ask any remodeler how they handle lead-safe practice.

Joliet's own residential permit page lists a New Home/Remodel Permit Application next to separate Electrical and Plumbing Permit Applications. It does not spell out whether a kitchen remodel by itself needs a permit, so call the Building Department before work starts. Euro Pros Remodeling, EZ Custom Homes and Naperville Home Remodeling also handle permits.
