“How’s the sourcing of your fixtures coming along?”“Oh, we haven’t started yet!” – a common response we hear when chatting with our clients about their upcoming home renovation project. 

When embarking on a kitchen or bathroom renovation, it’s always important to take lead time into consideration. It’s helpful to get a head start on the sourcing of your desired materials because, in addition to the cost of hiring your contractor for their time and labor, it’s also recommended that you have a good idea of what the cost will be to select and purchase any client-provided materials – these may include things like fixtures, hardware, tiling, etc. 

Not sure where to begin? That’s alright, we’ve got you covered! In this post, we share with you where to source materials for your Chicago home renovation project from our list of preferred kitchen and bathroom vendors.
