About

Our number one commitment is to make your project a success by delivering unparalleled and personalized service from design through installation and warranty.

How We Work:

  • Initial consultation: a designer comes to your home, discusses your remodel goals, provides low, medium, high ballpark estimates of your project’s potential cost, complementary service
  • Follow up: we provide client referral lists so you talk directly to our clients about their experience with Drury Design; plus national reports on the return on investment for a remodel project specific to our area.
  • Design retainer: when you decide to hire Drury Design as your kitchen or bath design & remodeling firm, we ask for a retainer to begin the design process, which in most cases, is applicable toward your material purchase.
  • Design Process:
    A. Client-focused design: our extensive questionnaire helps us discover your lifestyle needs and design goals, ensuring the end result is perfect for you.
    B. Floor plans: your designer will draw up to four different floor plan options and discuss which elements of each work best for you for your final plan.
    C. Elevations & preliminary pricing: we show you details of each wall elevation and features such as glass doors, open display areas, and cabinetry style; preliminary material & labor prices are reviewed and revised as needed.
    D. Final approval: Plans, materials, and pricing are all finalized to your satisfaction; the contract is signed, your project is scheduled with the installer, and materials are ordered.
  • Installation:
    A. We have several crews that have been working exclusively for us for more than 20 years.
    B. Our installers will stay on your project until the work is complete before moving on to the next job.
    C. Drury Design provides a day-to-day schedule of work to be done on your project and we finish on time or early about 90% of the time.
  • Other Facts:
    A. Single point of contact: you have one person to deal with at Drury Design for all your needs to be addressed, from the design process through installation and warranty.
    B. Material selections: we offer several lines of cabinetry plus a variety of countertop surfaces, appliances, lighting, backsplash, and flooring options, all covering a range of budgets.
    C. Expertise: we have more than 50 years in combined experience and by continually honing our skills by keeping up with changes in the industry, education and ongoing training.
    D. Open communication: open communication is the key to a successful project; we keep you up-to-date on the status of your project on a regular basis.

Welcome!

Welcome to Drury Design’s Newsrooom!

In 1987 I started Drury Design as a home based business to allow me to work from home and care for my two small children. As my business grew we moved our studio to downtown Glen Ellyn and in 2002 moved to our second Glen Ellyn location, a 7,500 sq. ft. studio on Main Street. In 2007 we celebrated our twentieth anniversary and the completion of over 1,000 projects in the greater Chicago area.

As more and more clients use the web for inspiration and to research kitchen design and home renovation, we decided to launch Drury Design Newsroom to share our knowledge and client projects online as well as impart news about our staff, awards, our community and friends and in-studio events.

Here, you can learn about what goes into making a kitchen your home’s signature.  We’re excited to share our client-focused design™ projects with you. And, we’re thrilled to give you the opportunity to tell us what you think about what we do.

Our clients receive a signature custom-designed kitchen to fit their home, family and cooking and entertaining lifestyle.  We find our clients are informed, stylish, and confident. They have their own design vision, like to entertain, enjoy being taken care of and appreciate fine design details as well as functional practicality…regardless of whether their kitchen design is “attainable” or over the top.Drury20TH-tagline
