Family Room & Living Space Remodeling in Chicagoland

Family rooms, TV rooms, and dining rooms planned with the kitchen and the rest of the house, not as leftover space.

Family rooms, TV rooms, and dining rooms are where the week actually happens: homework, movie nights, holidays. We remodel them with the kitchen and whole-home work when finishes need to match.

Opening a dining room to the kitchen, building a media wall, or replacing a dated family room. Lighting, storage, and materials follow how the room gets used every week.

Typical investment ranges

The cost depends on whether you’re refreshing finishes, opening walls to the kitchen, or building a media-focused room. Typical ranges:

  • Finish & lighting refresh

    Often $15k–$40k+

    Flooring, trim, lighting, fireplace surround, and paint. The room gets used more without moving a wall.

  • Open-plan / kitchen adjacency

    Often $40k–$90k+

    Opening to the kitchen, structural headers when needed, and coordinated finishes so the whole gathering zone feels intentional.

  • Media / custom living room

    Often $60k–$120k+

    Built-ins, acoustics, lighting scenes, and finishes that match how you host.

These are typical ranges, not a quote. Your proposal comes after design. Explore remodeling financing if monthly payments help you move forward on the right scope.

Design-build process

Every living spaces project follows the same clarity path from consultation to warranty. See the full process.

  1. 1. Design consultation

    An expert designer from our team walks the home with you and talks through your goals, and how you want to live in the space.

  2. 2. Design & written proposal

    You get a clear scope, a written proposal with options, and a milestone payment schedule. Never a large upfront deposit. Changes only happen through a written change order you approve first.

  3. 3. Permits handled for you

    Chicago-area permits and inspections are on us. You never chase the village or the city.

  4. 4. Build with a dedicated project lead

    One person owns your project and keeps you updated on a set cadence. Daily cleanup, floors protected, no surprises.

  5. 5. Walkthrough & workmanship warranty

    We do a final walkthrough together and stand behind the work in writing after we leave.

What we put in writing

  • Written proposals with clear scope, not vague estimates
  • Milestone payments with no large upfront deposit
  • Permits and inspections handled for you
  • Written workmanship warranty

Common questions

Should a family room remodel happen with the kitchen?
Often yes. Opening walls, matching floors, and aligning millwork is cheaper and cleaner when sequenced together, especially if you’re already investing in a kitchen remodel.
Do you remodel TV / media rooms in finished basements?
Yes. Media spaces are a common basement finishing request. We also remodel above-grade family and TV rooms when the main floor is the priority.
