About us

We learned our craft as custom cabinet builders and developed a technique to reface cabinets with real, furniture grade hardwoods - no veneers and no laminates. Using this method we can bring new life to your kitchen, update hardware, hinges and drawer boxes to create the kitchen you've always wanted at an affordable price. We can also combine refacing with new cabinetry. Add a pantry, remove a desk, convert cabinets into drawers and reface the rest of the kitchen to match exactly. Want to get started? Check out our website gallery at www.elementkitchens.com and call to set up a free, no pressure consultation. We're independently owned and work throughout most of the Chicago suburbs. If you're even considering the possibility of upgrading your kitchen, you owe it to yourself to see what we can do.

Jim Pace is the owner and he does all the work himself. The work was beautiful, he was timely, very clean, and very efficient. His work is very precise.

He took very accurate measurements first. Then he provided both samples and photos of cabinet options. After we decided what to do, he suggested changing some cabinets to oversize drawers, and took measurements to rebuild all the drawers completely. Then he spent four days doing the installation, and he took away all the old stuff we no longer wanted. The job completely transformed our kitchen from looking like builder grade to a high end custom kitchen. We're delighted with it. Jim was on time every day, worked efficiently, delivered all he promised and more. I can't recommend Element any higher.

Jim was a pro from beginning to end. From the first time we met he was on time, very detailed and a delight to work with. He did a complete refacing of our kitchen describing every step in detail. His quote came in a timely manner and was complete. As I made changes to the services I needed he made sure all Changes were made on paper. I also had him build all new interior pull out drawers and they are gorgeous. His attention to detail is amazing. Within one week I had a beautiful new cherry kitchen. The complete process took about 8 weeks from time of ordering to completion. It was seamless. As a designer, i will be using Jim's services again.

Jim from Element Kitchens did an awesome job on my kitchen cabinets. I bought a new condo that the builder had finished with all builder grade quality finishes. Since the cabinets were brand new (but with ugly cheap oak doors), I thought refacing made the most sense. I had the big box companies out to quote and they were priced almost double to Element Kitchens. Plus, I don't think they would have done as excellent of a job since those companies contract out all the work. Jim takes pride in his work. He is meticulous in his work and keeps a very clean work environment. I was able to cook and eat in my kitchen every night during the one week reface. All drawer and cabinet contents can remain in place during the whole process (one of the best parts). Believe me I have heard the horror stories from friends' that wash dishes in their bathtub for a month while renovating their kitchen.

My dad was a union carpenter for 40+ years and he was impressed. Jim is a skilled craftsman. I would recommend him to anyone.

We were extremely impressed with Element Kitchens, Inc from the first visit and display of products to final completion of the project. Jim Pace is truly a professional and a perfectionist. Jim was the seventh vendor to review our kitchen project and show us his products. He had more and better samples than any of the other vendors, and was much more knowledgeable of his trade. In our opinion, his product and price were far better than his competitors. His use of real wood for the facing versus using a thin stick-on veneer, was another strong positive for our selection of Element. From the time we placed the order until completion of the project, he met all committed dates. Jim was punctual, neat and very easy to work with. During the installation several neighbors viewed Jim's work and are now considering using Element Kitchens. He was a true professional, and we would definitely recommend Element Kitchens, Inc.

Very Professional. Materials arrived on date as promised. Workmanship was outstanding. The decision to Reface was a great alternative to Replacing. I was very pleased with the results. Price was reasonable and absolutely added value to my home. I would recommend to Family and Friends. Thanks to Element Kitchen for a Job Well Done!

They were prompt in coming out and very thorough. They explained what they are going to do. They were prompt in giving the bid and their workmanship was wonderful.
