Rolling Meadows, Cook County

Drywall & Framing in Rolling Meadows

Kitchen soffits gone, walls straightened and blocking set so new cabinets hang true. Rolling Meadows homeowners get the framing and drywall side of a remodel done cleanly.

Remodel framing and drywall in Rolling Meadows

Before new cabinets or tile go up, the walls and ceilings behind them have to be right. We remove old soffits over cabinets where nothing runs inside them, reroute or rebox what does, and patch the ceiling so it reads as one surface. Walls get checked for flat and plumb, then shimmed or reframed where they are off and blocked for the cabinets and any heavy shelving. After that the board is hung, finished and handed over clean.

Rolling Meadows is on our regular route by Route 53, with Golf Road, Kirchoff Road and Algonquin Road getting us around town. A soffit over kitchen cabinets is a common thing to remove when a Cook County house gets a kitchen refresh, and it often hides a duct, a vent pipe or wiring. We open a section first to see what is inside before we price the whole removal. That way the estimate reflects what is actually there.

Drywall & Framing by ONIT Solutions

Kitchen and bath prep in Rolling Meadows

Soffit removal

Empty soffits come out and the ceiling and wall get patched flush. Soffits with ducts or pipes get reframed tighter.

Walls straightened for cabinets

Bowed walls get shimmed or reframed so cabinets and counters sit tight without gaps.

Cabinet and shelf blocking

Solid blocking goes in at the heights the cabinet layout calls for.

Bath and laundry board

Bath and laundry walls get moisture-resistant board, with the tile areas prepared to suit the tile.

Ceiling patches after demo

Where lights move or a fixture comes out, we patch the ceiling so the old hole does not show.

Dust contained during demo

Plastic seals the kitchen off, floors get covered, and dust is cleaned up before cabinets arrive.

How the remodel prep is run

We look at the kitchen or bath with you and write an estimate that covers demo, framing, board, finish and the dust plan. If a soffit or wall hides something we did not price, like a vent stack, we show you, put the change in writing and wait for your sign-off. Work that adds wiring or plumbing gets a city permit and an inspection before the walls close. When the drywall is finished we walk it with you, so the next trade starts on a clean surface.

  • Soffits opened and checked before pricing
  • Walls flat and plumb for cabinets
  • Blocking where the layout calls for it
  • City permit when wiring or plumbing changes
  • Kitchen sealed off with plastic
  • Clean surface ready for the next step
FAQ

Drywall & Framing in Rolling Meadows: questions

Can you remove the soffit above my kitchen cabinets?
Usually. If it is empty, it comes out and we patch the ceiling. If a duct or pipe runs inside, we reroute it or rebox it tighter, and the estimate says which.
Do I need a permit in Rolling Meadows for this?
Removing an empty soffit and patching usually does not. Moving wiring, plumbing or a structural wall usually does, and we pull the permit with the city.
How long does the drywall part of a kitchen take?
Demo and framing go first, then any inspection, then hanging and several visits of finishing. We give you the order in the estimate so the cabinet date lines up.
Do you work near Rolling Meadows?
Yes. We also take drywall and framing jobs in Arlington Heights, Palatine and Schaumburg.
How do I set up an estimate?
Call or text (815) 585-1750 with a photo of the soffit or wall, and we will schedule a visit.
