Step by step for kitchen renovation in Illinois

General
1

Renovating a kitchen in Illinois requires a strategic blend of design and strict legal adherence.

  1. Planning & Design
    Establish your budget and layout. In Illinois, if you alter structural walls in a multi-family unit, you must hire a licensed architect.

  2. Permitting & Compliance
    Most Illinois municipalities require permits for cabinetry replacement, plumbing, and electrical. Ensure your work meets the 2021 International Energy Conservation Code and NEC standards, including mandatory GFCI outlets within 6 feet of water.

  3. Construction Phase
    Demolition: Clear the space safely.

Rough-Ins: Install wiring and pipes. Illinois law requires licensed plumbers for all plumbing work.

Inspections: Schedule “rough-in” inspections before closing walls.

Finishing: Install cabinets, counters, and flooring.

  1. Final Sign-off
    Complete a final walkthrough and city inspection to ensure safety compliance (e.g., hardwired smoke/CO detectors).
