Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a kitchen remodel cost in Wheaton?

Planning a kitchen renovation in Wheaton, expect to spend between $80,000 and $150,000+, depending on the scope and style of your project. Mid-luxury remodels range from $80,000 to $100,000, while top-tier custom kitchens can go beyond $150,000. At Jackson Carter Design Build, we pride ourselves on our transparent approach to budgeting, ensuring each dollar is thoughtfully allocated. Our work features premium materials and meticulous attention to detail.

How long does a kitchen remodeling take in Wheaton?

A comprehensive kitchen remodel in Wheaton typically takes several months, depending on the complexity of the project and the materials involved. Thanks to our streamlined design-build approach, Jackson Carter Design Build minimizes delays by keeping everything under one roof—from planning and permitting to construction. You’ll be updated with regular progress reports while we handle logistics, scheduling, and quality assurance. From temporary kitchen arrangements to dust control, we prepare your home to stay comfortable during construction.

What’s the most durable paint for kitchen walls?

When painting kitchen walls, choose satin or semi-gloss acrylic latex paint for maximum endurance. Satin gives you a smooth finish with moderate strength, while semi-gloss adds superior cleanability and wear resistance—great for messy zones. Acrylic latex is known for quick drying, low smell, and excellent stain/mildew resistance. Go with reputable brands like Benjamin Moore, Sherwin-Williams, or Behr. Look for features such as easy cleaning, mold prevention, and stain blocking. Jackson Carter is here to support every decision to keep your kitchen looking its best.

Do I need a permit to remodel my kitchen in Wheaton?

Yes, a kitchen remodel in Wheaton will require permits in most cases, especially if you’re planning to modify electrical systems, plumbing, or structural elements. The good news? Jackson Carter Design Build takes care of the entire permitting process for you. We ensure every aspect of your remodel is code-compliant, from electrical updates to layout changes. With our experienced team handling inspections and paperwork, you can focus on design choices, not the red tape.
