A Better Way to Remodel Your Kitchen in the Chicago Suburbs
A kitchen remodel doesn’t always require tearing everything out and starting over. If your existing layout works, but your kitchen looks dated, worn, or simply no longer reflects your style, TREND can transform the space without a traditional full-gut renovation.
We combine cabinet refacing, new cabinet doors and drawer fronts, countertops, backsplashes, hardware, sinks, and other updates to create a cohesive transformation tailored to your home.
The result? A kitchen that looks and feels new—with less demolition, less mess, and a faster installation.
Cabinet Refacing
Give Your Existing Cabinets a Completely New Look
If your cabinet boxes are structurally sound, cabinet refacing can be an effective alternative to replacing your entire cabinetry system. And if you need additional storage, we can also add new cabinetry—such as a pantry, island or additional cabinets—and coordinate it with your refaced cabinets.
We keep the existing cabinet boxes in place while replacing the doors and drawer fronts and updating the exterior surfaces with a rigid thermofoil veneer (RTF). We also install soft-close hinges, soft-close drawer glides and new hardware to complete the transformation.
You can change the style and appearance of your kitchen without removing the entire cabinetry system.
Countertops
Transform Your Countertops With Less Demolition
A new countertop can completely change the look of a kitchen. With TREND’s countertop overlay process, you often don’t need to remove the existing countertop first.
Our proprietary etherium® By E-Stone is a ¼-inch engineered stone designed specifically for applications such as countertop overlays. When the existing surface is suitable, the new material can be installed directly over it.
etherium® By E-Stone is:
- Nonporous
- Heat resistant
- Stain resistant
- Scratch resistant
- Made in the USA
- Backed by a Limited Lifetime Warranty

Backsplashes
Complete the Look With a New Backsplash
A new backsplash can be the finishing element that brings your kitchen transformation together.
TREND offers both etherium® By E-Stone and tile backsplashes, giving you options to complement your new countertops and cabinetry.
Our team handles the installation from start to finish, including grout installation for tile backsplashes. A backsplash can also be incorporated into a larger kitchen remodeling project or completed as a standalone project, subject to project requirements.
Bring It All Together
The biggest impact often comes from combining several updates into one cohesive design. A typical TREND kitchen transformation may include:
Cabinet Refacing
New doors, drawer fronts, rigid thermofoil veneer (RTF) on cabinet box exteriors, soft-close hinges, soft-close drawer glides and hardware.
Additional Cabinetry
Need more storage? Add a pantry, kitchen island or additional cabinets and coordinate them with your refaced cabinetry.

Common Questions
Kitchen Remodeling FAQs
Can I remodel my kitchen without replacing my cabinets?
Yes. If your existing cabinet boxes are suitable and you like your current layout, cabinet refacing can transform the appearance without replacing the entire cabinetry system.
Can you add cabinets to my existing kitchen?
Yes. If you need additional storage, we can add cabinetry as part of your kitchen transformation. Options can include a pantry, kitchen island or additional cabinets, which can be coordinated with your refaced cabinetry for a cohesive look.
Can you install a new countertop over my existing countertop?
In the vast majority of projects, yes. When the existing countertop is suitable, our ¼-inch etherium® By E-Stone can be installed directly over it.
How long does a kitchen remodel take?
The timeline depends on the scope of the project. Cabinet refacing typically takes 3–4 business days, while many full kitchen transformations can be completed in as little as 5–7 business days.
Do I have to replace my backsplash when I replace my countertop?
Not necessarily. Whether the existing backsplash can remain depends on its condition and the design you’re looking for.
