Kitchen Remodeling in Central Illinois
Your kitchen is probably the most-used room in your house and if it's not working the way it should then everything feels off. At Mathes Construction, we've been remodeling kitchens for homeowners across Tremont, Pekin, Morton, Washington, Bartonville and the greater Peoria area for nearly five decades. So If you want to replace outdated cabinets, open up the layout, upgrade your countertops, or gut the whole thing and start fresh, we handle every part of the job ourselves, from demo day to final cleanup, with no subcontractors and no surprises on the bill.
WHY CHOOSE MATHES Construction FOR YOUR KITCHEN
A Kitchen Remodel Done the Way You Actually Pictured It
Most homeowners in Tremont, Pekin, and across Tazewell County
have dealt with a contractor who showed up late, changed the price halfway through, or sent someone unfamiliar to do the work. That's not how we operate. When you hire Mathes Construction for your kitchen remodel, Chuck Mathes is involved from the very first conversation. We sit down with you, understand how you use your kitchen, what's been driving you crazy about it, and what your budget actually looks like. Then we give you a written estimate that doesn't change. No surprise invoices, no material upgrades you didn't ask for. We've been doing kitchen remodeling across Central Illinois since 1977 which is long enough to know that the details matter, and that a kitchen done right adds real value to your home
for years to come.

Kitchen Projects We've Completed Across Central Illinois
Over the past 47 years, we've remodeled kitchens of all shapes, sizes, and budgets across Tremont, Pekin, Morton, Washington, East Peoria, Bartonville, Mapleton, and surrounding Tazewell County communities. Some homeowners came to us wanting to swap out cabinets and countertops and freshen things up without breaking the bank. Others had kitchens that hadn't been touched since the 1980s and needed everything torn out and rebuilt from scratch like new layout, new plumbing rough-in, new electrical, new flooring, the whole thing. We've handled both ends of that spectrum and everything in between. Every kitchen we've worked on was done by our own crew, managed personally by Chuck Mathes, and delivered with a clean jobsite and no lingering punch list items the homeowner had to chase us down about.
What to Expect When You Hire Us for Your Kitchen
Kitchen remodeling is one of the most disruptive projects a homeowner can take on like you're losing your cooking space, living around dust and noise, and trusting someone to get it done right and get out. We've been doing this long enough to know that what homeowners in Peoria and Tazewell County care about most isn't just the end result and it's how the process feels. With Mathes Construction, you get a realistic timeline before we start, daily updates when we're on site, and a crew that cleans up after themselves every single day. We don't disappear for days at a time, we don't leave tools scattered through your house, and we don't hand your project
off to someone who wasn't part of the original conversation.

ABOUT OUR KITCHEN REMODELING WORK

Old plumbing that needs rerouting, undersized electrical panels that can't handle a modern kitchen, subfloor damage hiding under 30-year-old vinyl and we've dealt with all of it, and we know how to handle it without turning your project into a money pit.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common Questions About Kitchen Remodeling in Central Illinois
Before starting a kitchen remodel, most homeowners in Tremont, Pekin, and across Tazewell County have the same questions. Here are honest answers to the ones we hear most.
Still Have Questions?
We’re here to help you!
How much does a kitchen remodel cost in Central Illinois?
It genuinely depends on what you’re doing. A cabinet repaint and new countertops might run $8,000–$15,000. A full gut remodel with new layout, plumbing, electrical, flooring, and cabinets can range from $30,000–$60,000 depending on the size of your kitchen and the materials you choose. We don’t throw numbers around before we’ve seen your space and we come out, take a look, and give you a written estimate that’s actually accurate.
How long does a kitchen remodel take?
A straightforward cabinet and countertop update typically takes 1–2 weeks. A full kitchen renovation like demo, new layout, plumbing, electrical, flooring, cabinets, and finishes usually runs 4–6 weeks depending on material lead times. We give you a realistic timeline before we start and we stick to it. No dragging things out for months while your family eats off paper plates.
Do I need to move out during a kitchen remodel?
Most homeowners don’t need to move out, but you will be living without a functional kitchen for the duration of the project. We try to make that as manageable as possible and we keep a clean jobsite every day, we work steady hours so the project moves quickly, and we’ll always let you know in advance if something is going to affect water or electricity access in the house.
What kitchen remodeling services do you offer in Central Illinois?
We handle full kitchen gut remodels, cabinet replacement and refinishing, countertop installation, kitchen layout redesigns, flooring, backsplash, and fixture upgrades. We serve Tremont, Pekin, Morton, Washington, Bartonville, East Peoria, Peoria, and Mapleton and if you’re in Tazewell or Peoria County, give us a call.
