WHY CENTURY KITCHENS AND BATH
Most general contractors run your project through a sales rep, then a designer, then a project manager, then a rotating crew of subcontractors you have never met. Communication breaks. Schedules slip. The person you signed with is gone by the time the cabinets show up.
We do it differently because we have to. Steve Donato has owned and operated Century Kitchens & Bath for decades, and he answers his own phone at (847) 395-3418. Our designers, plumbers, electricians, and carpenters are in-house. The person who walks you through your 3D rendering is the person who knows your project when the tile arrives. Every line item in your estimate reads like a menu, so you can see exactly where every dollar goes before you sign anything.
That is what 1968 built. A company that has nothing to hide and nowhere to go.
"Steve, the owner, did a great job of working around issues and finding cost-effective ways to get things done. The crew was always on time and they did what they said they were going to do."
— Patricia P., verified Century client
WHAT WE BUILD
Every Century project goes through the same in-house design, in-house build, written-warranty process. The only thing that changes is the room.
Custom kitchens designed in our showroom and built by our in-house crews. We work with Wellborn Forest, Kith, JSI, US Cabinets, and Woodland cabinet lines, paired with Cambria, MSI, LG, and Vicostone surfaces. Most Lake County kitchens we build run six to ten weeks on site.
Starts at $25,000. Most clients invest $50,000 to $80,000.
Explore Kitchen Remodeling
Secondary baths, primary suites, powder rooms, and accessibility-driven retrofits. Bertch vanities, Kohler, Moen, Delta, and Grohe fixtures, custom tile and glass. Our licensed in-house plumbers handle the rough-in so trade hand-offs do not break the schedule.
Secondary baths start at $20,000. Primary baths run $60,000 to $100,000 or more.
Explore Bathroom Remodeling
Multi-room and full-floor renovations. Kitchens, baths, basements, laundry rooms, mudrooms, fireplaces, and the connective spaces between them. One project manager, one schedule, one written warranty across the entire home.
Most whole-home projects run $75,000 to $200,000 or more.
Explore Whole-Home RemodelingWHAT IS INCLUDED IN EVERY CENTURY PROJECT
We stack the items most contractors charge for separately into your project, then hand you a written limited lifetime warranty on top. Here is what is included before you ever sign:
A real conversation with a designer, not a quoting form.
You see the finished space before any deposit clears.
Every line, every dollar, broken out so you can read where the money is going.
No outside trade subs you have never met. Schedule integrity stays inside the company.
You work with one person. You can call the owner anytime.
We pull them. We meet them. You do not lose a workday.
Drop cloths, dust containment, swept floors before the crew leaves.
Covers all products and services purchased through Century, in writing, signed by the owner.
Century is not just our name. It is our warranty. Every product and service you purchase through Century Kitchens & Bath is covered by our written limited lifetime warranty, in writing, signed by Steve. Most remodelers write a one-year workmanship promise into their contract and hope you do not read it. We tell you about ours up front because we expect you to.
HOW A CENTURY PROJECT WORKS
Free consultation at our Third Lake showroom or in your home. We listen, measure, and learn how you actually use the space.
Your designer builds a custom 3D rendering of the finished room at no charge. You walk it before a single cabinet is ordered.
Cabinets, countertops, tile, fixtures, hardware, and finishes. You choose in our showroom with real samples in your hand.
Every line itemized. Materials, labor, fixtures, permits. Nothing buried. Nothing vague. You sign once.
Our in-house licensed crews execute on the schedule we promised. When it is done, the written limited lifetime warranty goes in your file.
