Kitchen, Bathroom, Basement & Home Addition Projects for Arlington Heights, IL Homeowners

Home remodeling in Arlington Heights should feel like this: walking into a kitchen that finally opens up instead of closing you off. A bathroom that feels like a retreat, not a bottleneck. A basement that’s become the room everyone wants to be in. Space for the family you have now, not the one you had when you bought the house. That’s what Design First Builders has been building for Arlington Heights homeowners, one room at a time, since 2006. Here’s what that looks like, project by project.

  • “

    I finally took the big leap I had been saving up for and, after much research, hired Design First Builders to create our dream kitchen. From my first meetings with Danielle I knew I picked the right company. Their process was so streamlined and everyone was so helpful—almost too helpful. Francesca helped me and my husband design out amazing kitchen and then once we started work, our project manager Jon made sure we were informed on what was happening and what next steps were to. I will definitely use Design First for all our future projects!
