A kitchen is the hardest room in the house to remodel well, because it is really six projects stacked on top of each other — demolition, plumbing, electrical, cabinetry, countertops, and finish work — that all depend on one another and have to happen in sequence. Get the order wrong, miss a permit, or set cabinets before the floor is flat, and the whole job stalls. That is why coordination matters more here than craftsmanship in any single trade.

The remodelers in our network manage the entire arc: pulling permits, sequencing licensed plumbers and electricians, scheduling the cabinet and counter installs around accurate templating, and keeping inspections on the calendar. Whether you are opening up a closed-off galley in a Royal Oak bungalow or building a true island kitchen in a Novi colonial, we connect you with a licensed, insured contractor who owns the timeline so you are not left playing project manager between trades that have never worked together.

What’s included

  • Design consult, layout planning, and itemized scope
  • Permit pulling and inspection scheduling
  • Demolition and haul-away of the old kitchen
  • Licensed plumbing and electrical rough-in and changes
  • Cabinet installation and countertop templating coordination
  • Backsplash, flooring, lighting, and paint finish work
  • Final inspection, punch list, and walk-through

A kitchen remodel lives or dies on sequencing, and a homeowner stuck coordinating four subs themselves is how budgets blow up. The contractors we match you with run the schedule, hold the permits, and carry insurance — so the trades show up in the right order, not whenever they feel like it.

How it works

Design & scope

A contractor walks the space, confirms what you want changed, and builds an itemized scope with a layout and a realistic budget — not a guess on a napkin.

Permit & order

Permits are pulled and long-lead items — cabinets, counters, special-order fixtures — are ordered early so the build is not waiting on a backordered box.

Demo & rough-in

The old kitchen comes out, then licensed plumbers and electricians move lines, add circuits, and rough in for the new layout, with inspections along the way.

Cabinets & counters

Cabinets are set level and plumb, counters are templated to the installed boxes, then fabricated and installed — the sequence that prevents gaps and reworks.

Finish & inspect

Backsplash, flooring, lighting, hardware, and paint go in, the final inspection is passed, and you walk a finished kitchen with a punch list closed out.

Kitchen Remodeling: common questions

How long does a kitchen remodel take?
Most full kitchen remodels run 6–10 weeks from demo to final inspection, with design and ordering happening before that. Custom cabinets, structural changes, or moving plumbing and gas lines extend the timeline. A realistic schedule is set once the scope and lead times are locked, not promised on day one.
Do I need permits to remodel my kitchen?
Almost always, yes. Moving plumbing, adding electrical circuits, altering gas lines, or removing walls all require permits in Metro Detroit municipalities, and they trigger inspections. A licensed contractor pulls them as part of the job — skipping permits is what causes problems at resale.
Can I stay in my house during the remodel?
Most homeowners do, but the kitchen itself is out of service for the duration. Plan a temporary setup — a microwave, a sink elsewhere, a mini fridge — for several weeks. Your contractor can sequence the work to restore water and a working sink as early as the plumbing allows.
What adds the most cost to a kitchen remodel?
Moving plumbing and gas lines, structural changes like removing a load-bearing wall, custom cabinetry, and high-end countertops and appliances are the biggest levers. Keeping the existing layout and choosing semi-custom cabinets keeps far more of your budget in finishes you actually see.
