Who installs countertops in Elk Grove Village?
Ace does, from its shop at 1548 Brandy Parkway in Streamwood, about eight miles west — the slab travels twenty minutes, not counties. The crew tears out the old top, sets and seams the new one, then reconnects the sink. In most of the town's Centex ranch kitchens that is a single day.
Installing into Elk Grove Village's kitchens
Elk Grove Village is about eight miles east of the shop — Irving Park Rd most of the way, then IL-83 or I-390 — so install day here is a short run with finished stone on the truck. The stock is Centex — ranches and split-levels put up from 1956 through the 1960s build-out, median build year 1974 — and most are on their second or third kitchen. What comes off is either the original laminate or an 80s-90s replacement that has done its time.
What comes out of an Elk Grove Village kitchen first
Split-level tear-out is the one that surprises people. The old top leaves in pieces down a half flight and the new one has to come up the same turn in one, so we measure that stairwell on template day rather than discovering it with your kitchen in parts.
What it costs in Elk Grove Village
Same shop, same crew, same price in Elk Grove Village as in every other town we serve — the 7.6 miles are not a line item.
Install is not a separate line on our quote — it is inside the installed project price. Here is that price. These are the bands that fit Elk Grove Village: Centex-era ranches and split-levels carry modest closed-plan galley and L-shaped kitchens.
| Kitchen size | Engineered Quartz | Granite | Quartzite | Marble |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Galley kitchens in Elk Grove Village (30–45 sqft) | $3,600–$6,750 | $4,200–$7,650 | $4,500–$8,550 | $5,100–$9,000 |
| Small kitchens in Elk Grove Village (45–60 sqft) | $5,400–$9,000 | $6,300–$10,200 | $6,750–$11,400 | $7,650–$12,000 |
| Medium kitchens in Elk Grove Village (60–75 sqft) | $7,200–$11,250 | $8,400–$12,750 | $9,000–$14,250 | $10,200–$15,000 |

Getting to Elk Grove Village
Elk Grove Village sits about 7.6 miles from the shop at 1548 Brandy Pkwy, Streamwood — 7-8 miles east of the shop via Irving Park Rd (IL-19) and IL-83 or I-390; roughly 15-20 minutes.
Elk Grove Village is in Cook County, Illinois — one of 89 towns and 149 ZIP codes we serve in that county, at a median 23.8 miles from the factory. The nearest other towns on our list are Itasca (2.1 mi), Wood Dale (2.9 mi), Bensenville (4.5 mi), so a Elk Grove Village job and a Itasca job are usually on the same run.
Permits in Elk Grove Village
The rule of thumb, and who actually decides.
Install day is when the old top comes off and the sink comes apart, so it is the day the permit question actually bites.
In Elk Grove Village that question goes to the Elk Grove Village Community Development Department at (847) 357-4220. We are a countertop shop, not a permit authority: where a job needs one we say so in the quote, and where the village has not published a rule we say that too rather than guessing on your behalf.
Elk Grove Village questions
Do you install countertops everywhere in Elk Grove Village?
Yes — all of Elk Grove Village, and the rest of Cook County with it. The shop is 7.6 miles away at 1548 Brandy Pkwy in Streamwood, and the crew that templates your kitchen is the crew that installs it. No part of Elk Grove Village is far enough away to be somebody else's problem.
Can I see my slab before it becomes my countertop?
Yes — the slab is about eight miles away at the shop in Streamwood, a twenty-minute drive from anywhere in the village. Call before you sign anything and come look at the actual piece rather than a 4-inch sample.
Can I install a tile backsplash myself?
Of the three projects, this is the most DIY-friendly: small area, no structural stakes, forgiving timeline. The skills that separate good from regrettable are layout planning around outlets and edges, straight cuts (rent a wet saw), consistent spacing, and clean grout work - and buy 10 to 15 percent extra tile for cuts and breakage. Professional labor runs roughly $5 to $20 per square foot if you decide midway that a flawless finish matters more than the savings.
Can I install my own backsplash, or should I hire a tile setter?
A straight running-bond or stacked ceramic backsplash is one of the most DIY-friendly tile jobs in a house - small format, no water exposure like a shower, and you save roughly $10-15 per square foot in labor. Hand it to a pro when the job involves glass tile (visible adhesive and cut edges), natural stone (sealing, blade chatter, breakage), herringbone or diagonal layouts (compounding alignment errors), large-format panels, or any slab product, which is fabricator work full stop. Whoever installs it, outlets are the tell: sloppy cuts around receptacles are the first thing a trained eye notices.
Can I save money by tearing out the old countertops myself?
Usually less than you would hope, and the risk lands on you. Tear-out is typically a small line item on a countertop quote because crews do it fast and haul the debris away. DIY removal risks cracking the tile backsplash you planned to keep, gouging cabinet frames, and wrestling a cast-iron sink or heavy stone sections that do not go out with curbside trash. If you do it anyway, confirm the fabricator will still take responsibility for cabinet condition at template, and figure out stone disposal before demo day — a ten-foot run of granite is a genuinely awkward thing to own.
