Most Elm Grove kitchens were built closed. Good size, wrong layout. Here's what that looks like — and what Teli and John fix.
A wall between the kitchen and family room made sense in 1975. Today it cuts the kitchen off from where the family actually spends time. The fix is removing that wall and opening the space — structural work that requires a load-bearing assessment and LVL beam installation.
Most 1970s–80s Elm Grove kitchens have a soffit box running above the upper cabinets. It's dead space — and removing it adds 12 to 18 inches of cabinet height. But it only comes out when the beam above confirms it's non-load-bearing. Teli and John assess it at the in-home visit.
The home is worth $600K–$1.2M. The kitchen has original oak or laminate from when the home was built. The materials, the hardware, the layout — none of it matches the home's current value or how the family uses the space. A full cabinet replacement with ceiling-height extension is the most direct fix.
Split-level and ranch kitchens in Elm Grove weren't built with islands. Adding one means assessing traffic flow, determining if the sink moves, rerouting plumbing, and planning seating clearances — all before any demo begins. Teli and John map it out at the in-home visit before writing any scope.
Whether you need cabinet refinishing or a complete gut renovation, T And J handles every scope in-house. Call (262) 352-9525 for a free same-week consultation tailored to your Elm Grove home and budget.

Get Your EstimateT And J All In Remodeling is a two-owner company based in Brookfield — 5 minutes from Elm Grove via Bluemound Road. Teli and John have rebuilt the closed ranch and split-level kitchens of Elm Grove's Watertown Plank corridor and wooded estate streets since the early 1990s. No project managers. No rotating crews. The two of them handle every estimate, every soffit removal, every open-concept conversion.
Elm Grove homeowners hire Teli and John because opening up a walled-off 1970s kitchen requires real hands-on experience with this specific housing stock. A ranch-to-open-concept conversion is never the same job twice. Soffit removal gains 14 to 18 inches of cabinet height, but only when the beam confirms it. Teli and John know Village of Elm Grove permits because they've been pulling them for thirty years.
