Buffalo Grove treats cabinet replacement as permit work
The Village of Buffalo Grove requires a permit to replace or modify a kitchen, and it specifically notes that cabinetry replacement inside a kitchen requires a permit because it generally involves plumbing and electrical work. Even when a sink stays in the same location, replacing it or its faucet means the plumbing needs a permit and must meet the 2014 Illinois Plumbing Code. The village also assumes an older kitchen does not comply with the 2017 National Electrical Code and expects the electrical portion to be brought up to current code.
Some equipment sits outside the remodel permit. Water heaters, furnaces, air conditioners, electrical panels, and same-size window replacements are submitted separately. Remodel drawings are expected at 1/4 inch to 1 foot, with existing and proposed floor plans that show walls, outlets, cabinetry, vents, and whether each appliance is gas or electric. If a wall comes out, the plans must state whether it is load-bearing and how that was determined.
Review time, fees, and the 180-day clock
Buffalo Grove’s average review time is 7 to 10 business days once all information is provided and every contractor is registered with the village for the current calendar year. The plans examiner classifies each remodel as minor, intermediate, or major. A residential remodel permit expires if the work is not done within 180 days of issuance, so product orders and scheduling should be settled before the permit is issued. Basement remodels follow a similar path, and a basement bedroom needs a window with at least 5.7 square feet of clear opening.
How ADS approaches a Buffalo Grove project
ADS offers kitchen, bathroom, basement, living-room, hallway, and home-addition remodeling in Buffalo Grove. A free in-home visit comes first, then a written estimate that lists fixtures, circuits, and structural changes separately. The village permits construction from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. on weekdays and 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. on weekends, and it does not allow materials or dumpsters on the street or in the parkway, so delivery and storage space belong in the plan.
- Note which appliances and fixtures stay and which are new.
- Tell us if a homeowners association must approve the work.
- Share the timing you need so the 180-day window works for you.

Five questions every homeowner asks first.
Plain answers — the kind we'd give a neighbor over coffee, not the ones written for a brochure.
Have a different question? Ask during your free estimate →-
How much does a typical kitchen or bathroom remodel cost?
Bathroom remodels in our area typically run $18,000–$45,000. Mid-range kitchens are usually $35,000–$80,000 — full custom kitchens can reach $120,000+. We give you a detailed estimate in writing after the in-home visit, so you see the numbers line by line before signing anything.
-
How long will my project take?
A bathroom is usually 3–5 weeks from demo to final walkthrough. A standard kitchen runs 6–8 weeks. Basement finishes are 5–8 weeks. We give you a written schedule before we start — and because we use our own in-house crew, we don't lose days waiting on a subcontractor to show up.
-
Do you handle the permits and inspections?
Yes — every time. We pull the permits, schedule the inspections, and meet with the inspectors. You don't deal with the village. We handle Buffalo Grove, Arlington Heights, Lombard, Glen Ellyn, Wheaton, and the rest of our service area.
-
Can we live in the house during the remodel?
Almost always, yes. We seal off the work zone with plastic, set up a temporary kitchen if we're remodeling yours, vacuum daily, and do a deep clean at the end. Most clients stay in the home for the full project — we plan the sequence around your daily life.
-
How do payments work?
A small deposit at signing, then progress payments tied to milestones (rough-in complete, drywall complete, final walkthrough). You never pre-pay for work that hasn't started. Final payment is only released after you sign off on the final walkthrough — not before.
