What a Wood Dale floor plan does to the appointment

The one thing worth flagging before we come out: if a half-wall beside the kitchen is coming down as part of the project, it needs to be down before we template, not after.

Beyond the drive and the half-wall question there is little that is specific to templating in Wood Dale, so we have kept this page short instead of restating the general process.

What the appointment costs

Nothing. The in-home template is free in Wood Dale and it commits you to nothing — the template costs nothing and commits you to nothing. It is how the range below turns into one number. The installed ranges for a Wood Dale kitchen are on the Wood Dale countertops page, and the number we will actually put our name on comes out of the appointment itself.

Wood Dale questions

How far is your shop from Wood Dale?

About 2.9 miles as the crow flies — 4-5 miles south of the shop via IL-83/Wood Dale Rd; roughly 10-12 minutes — one of the closest towns to the shop. That matters for templating more than for anything else we do, because the template is the appointment where we come to you, and a short run means a tight arrival window rather than a vague morning.

How long from template to install — and do I lose my kitchen the whole time?

Template to install typically runs 5-15 business days (rush shops manage 3-5; peak spring-summer season can stretch to 20). The good news: your kitchen keeps working through fabrication — you only lose the sink between tear-out and plumbing reconnection, usually 1-2 days. Install day itself is 2-6 hours for a standard kitchen. The quiet weeks between template and install are an information vacuum, not a problem — your counters are in a CNC queue — but ask at signing how the shop will confirm your install date so you can book the plumber.

How much overhang do I need for island seating, and will my countertop support it?

Plan 24 inches of width per seat, with knee depth tied to height: 18 inches deep at a 30-inch table, 15 inches at a 36-inch counter, and 12 inches at a 42-inch bar. Most stone and quartz tops can cantilever only about 10-12 inches unsupported, so a comfortable seating overhang usually needs steel brackets, corbels, or a thicker top - confirm the limit with your fabricator before ordering. Leave 32-44 inches behind the stools depending on whether people walk past.
