Northstar Construction is a kitchen remodeling contractor based in Moline, Illinois. We remodel kitchens for homeowners across the Quad Cities. We handle design, demolition, electrical, plumbing, cabinetry, countertops, tile, and finish work in-house.
Northstar Construction has remodeled kitchens in homes across Moline, Rock Island, Davenport, Bettendorf, and East Moline. We work on kitchens in homes built in every era of Quad Cities residential construction: historic Victorians in Rock Island, mid-century ranches in East Moline, established postwar homes in Moline, McClellan Heights bungalows in Davenport, and newer construction across Bettendorf.
A kitchen remodel involves six trades working in the same room. Electrical. Plumbing. Carpentry. Tile. Cabinetry. Countertops. Northstar Construction coordinates every trade in-house. One contractor signs the contract, manages the timeline, and stands behind the finished work.
Northstar Construction designs kitchens based on how your household actually uses the space. Before our team sketches a layout, we document how you cook, where guests gather, what frustrates you about your current kitchen, and how many people work in the kitchen at once.
Open-Concept Kitchen Conversions in the Quad Cities
Northstar Construction converts closed-off kitchens into open-concept spaces. Open-concept conversions involve removing the wall between the kitchen and the adjacent living or dining area. Load-bearing walls require structural engineering, a building permit, and a properly sized beam. Our team handles structural engineering, permits, beam installation, and finish work.
Custom Kitchen Cabinetry in Moline, Davenport, and Bettendorf
Northstar designs and installs custom, semi-custom, and stock cabinetry. Our cabinet installers specialize in cabinetry installation specifically. We coordinate cabinet style, door profile, finish, hardware, and interior storage configuration with the rest of the kitchen design.
Kitchen Island Construction Across the Quad Cities
Northstar builds kitchen islands as part of larger remodels and as standalone additions to existing kitchens. Island construction includes electrical, plumbing for prep sinks, ventilation for downdraft cooktops, and structural support. Our team handles all coordination.
Full Kitchen Renovations in the Quad Cities
Northstar Construction renovates kitchens where the layout stays largely the same but every surface gets replaced. Renovations include new cabinetry, countertops, backsplash, flooring, lighting, electrical updates, plumbing updates, appliances, paint, and trim.
Kitchen Gut and Reconfigure Projects
Northstar handles layout-changing kitchen remodels. Walls get relocated or removed. Floor plans get redesigned. Electrical and plumbing get rerouted. HVAC runs get adjusted. New windows get installed. Structural work gets engineered and built to code.
Kitchen Additions in the Quad Cities
Northstar bumps out kitchens by 6 to 12 feet to add square footage without a full home addition. Bump-outs work for kitchens constrained by an exterior wall. Our team handles foundation work, framing, exterior tie-in, and interior finish.
Historic Home Kitchen Renovations in Rock Island and Moline
Northstar Construction renovates kitchens in older Quad Cities homes. Our team works around original windows, doors, trim profiles, and architectural details. We coordinate modern function (appliances, electrical capacity, plumbing) with historic character.
Northstar runs kitchen remodels through a defined six-phase process.
Our team visits your home, measures the kitchen, documents existing conditions, and discusses how you use the space.
Our designers develop layout options. You select cabinetry, countertops, hardware, lighting, and appliances. Selections lock before construction starts.
You receive a line-item estimate. Contract signing locks scope, price, and timeline.
Northstar pulls building, electrical, plumbing, and mechanical permits. Our team orders cabinetry. Cabinet lead times in the Quad Cities run 4 to 12 weeks depending on the manufacturer.
Demolition. Electrical and plumbing rough-ins. Drywall. Paint. Flooring. Cabinet installation. Countertop template and installation. Backsplash. Lighting. Plumbing trim. Appliance installation.
Our project manager walks every detail of the finished kitchen with you. Punch list items get addressed. The project closes cleanly.
