Kitchen with forest green shaker cabinets, wood slat range hood, marble backsplash, brass statement chandelier, and exposed brick barrel vault ceiling

The kitchen is where everyone ends up — meals, homework, the after-work catch-up, hosting friends. It should fit how you actually live: your style, your habits, your comfort.

At Lotus, we design around the way you use the space and manage the whole project in-house — from the first design consultation through demolition, construction, and final finishes. Handling it all under one roof means fewer delays and a smoother project from start to finish.

We're also locally owned and family managed, so we understand the character and architecture of Lake Forest and North Shore homes — and how to remodel in a way that fits them.

One advantage most contractors can't offer: we're a product distributor and a remodeling company in one. That means tighter project coordination, fewer middlemen, and real cost savings for you.

    How long will a kitchen remodel take?

    It depends on the scope. Larger projects — major reconfigurations or custom cabinetry — take longer. We give you a realistic timeline up front, keep you posted on anything that could affect it, and work to finish on time and on budget.

    What does a full kitchen remodel include?

    Typically countertops, cabinetry, flooring, appliances, fixtures, and backsplashes — plus layout and space planning if you want to improve how the kitchen functions. You can also visit our Grayslake showroom to see materials and products in person.

    Do I need a contractor or a handyman?

    For major work — gutting and rebuilding, structural changes, electrical, plumbing, full cabinetry installation — you want a contractor. We manage subcontractors, handle permits, and stand behind the work, which a handyman can't do for a project this size.
