Frequently Asked Questions
In Glencoe, a 12×12 kitchen remodel typically ranges from $80,000 to over $120,000, depending on your vision, finishes, and the level of customization. At Jackson Carter Design Build, we offer a seamless design-build process where mid-luxury kitchens begin around $80,000. At the same time, fully bespoke spaces—with integrated storage solutions, designer fixtures, and luxury appliances—often exceed $150,000. The result? A kitchen that balances beauty, function, and refined living.
The most significant part of the investment usually goes into cabinetry and countertops, which serve as both the functional backbone and the visual centerpiece of the space. Opting for handcrafted cabinetry, statement stone surfaces, and cutting-edge appliances significantly shapes the outcome—and the budget. At Jackson Carter Design Build, we guide you through the art of investing wisely in these high-impact elements to create a stunning, durable, and unmistakably yours kitchen.
Maintaining a new kitchen goes beyond daily tidying. Jackson Carter Design Build encourages using material-specific, non-abrasive cleaners and periodic appliance care to ensure optimal performance. We also recommend installing protective mats or felt pads under furniture and using filtered water systems to extend the life of fixtures.
We recommend homeowners consider replacing major kitchen appliances every 10–15 years, depending on performance and energy efficiency. With innovations like voice-activated ranges, built-in sous-vide stations, and smart refrigerators, today’s appliances elevate cooking and entertaining. Jackson Carter Design Build helps you choose options that serve your daily needs and contribute to a streamlined and future-ready kitchen environment.
Hardwood flooring remains a top choice, especially if you’re in Glencoe! Hardwood does a good job of blending warmth, elegance, and a seamless flow across living spaces. Jackson Carter Design Build recommends engineered hardwood for added moisture resistance or sealed natural wood for a more classic touch. These options are perfect for high-use spaces, offering durability without compromising style. Hardwood becomes a timeless foundation for your kitchen design.
