Kitchen NV offers kitchen remodeling in Augusta Township, MI, one of the farthest corners of Washtenaw we serve, about 50 minutes (32 miles) from Pinckney. The township holds about 7,082 residents (2020 Census) in the county's southeast, including the community of Willis, with rural lots and homes mostly built from the 1970s through the 1990s.

Augusta's kitchens are defined by the house types of those decades: split-levels, bi-levels and ranches on an acre or more, with kitchens that are closed off, dark and short on counter space.

Split-levels, bi-levels and big yards around Willis

A 1970s split-level puts the kitchen on the middle floor, boxed in between the living room, a half-flight of stairs and the dining area. Opening it up usually means dealing with a bearing wall and a stair railing in the same plan. Bi-levels add a low entry and a kitchen squeezed against the upper landing. The 1980s and 1990s ranches and two-stories in the township are roomier, but most still have original oak cabinets and laminate tops.

Rural lots bring private wells and septic, which shape filter space, fixture finishes and any plan to add a second sink or bathroom. Larger yards also mean a garage or back entry that sees heavy use, so a mudroom or drop zone often joins the kitchen plan.

Fifty minutes out: fewer, fuller visits to Augusta Township

Because Augusta is a long drive from our studio, Nick plans each trip to accomplish more. The first visit combines the in-home consultation with a complete measure. After the design retainer, he presents layout choices, 3D renderings, elevations and pricing in one sitting where possible, and the selections meeting brings every sample category at once, billed hourly or packaged.

A purchase agreement lets Kitchen NV order the cabinetry and arrange delivery to a rural address. Partner contractors build the room, and Nick returns at the stages that matter most. Owners who plan to install themselves can hire design and ordering only.

“Nick’s attention to detail combined with his enthusiasm about your project will set him apart from other designers and big box stores. As a first time homeowner dealing with a full kitchen renovation, I was overwhelmed. Nick took the stress out of the process and worked with me to put together a kitchen layout that turned out both gorgeous & affordable. A full kitchen renovation does not need to break the bank, and that is where Nick comes in. He will recommend cabinet constructions, features, and finishes that meet your needs and budget. I installed my kitchen cabinets myself, and Nick was right there every step of the way answering all questions I had. To anyone looking at renovating a kitchen, I highly suggest you set up an appointment with Nick, he’s awesome. I think you’ll be surprised how stress free the process is, and how obtainable your dream kitchen really is.”

Whittaker Road, Willis and the permit office for rural Augusta

Augusta sits at the county's southeast corner, bordering Wayne and Monroe counties, with Willis inside its borders and Whittaker Road heading north toward Ypsilanti Township. York Township and Milan lie to the west and southwest.

The township's place names map its history. Augusta was organized in 1836; Paint Creek grew on the old Monroe-to-Ypsilanti road; Whittaker took its name from Frank Whittaker's store and gained the township hall in 1867; and activity drifted to Willis after the railroad came through in 1881. Most of Augusta's housing, though, went up a century later, on rural lots strung between those old crossroads.

Augusta does not run its own building department: the township says permitting and inspections are handled by the Washtenaw County Building Department, though some projects need an approval from the township zoning office first. Confirm with the township hall on Talladay Road before work is scheduled. The partner contractor files the permit with our drawings, and adding plumbing fixtures may also involve a septic review.

“Amazing kitchen with utmost professionalism. A timeline was established and communicated. Timing was met and the project was on budget. I can’t say enough about Nick and his attention to detail and how he actually listened to my needs and came up with perfect solutions. Great sense of design. Nick went out of his way to make sure my kitchen ended up perfect. The installers were just as great and wouldn’t have wanted anyone else to do my (very large) kitchen. 100% recommend!”

Kitchen remodeling in Augusta Township: common questions

Can you open up a split-level kitchen in Augusta Township?

Usually, yes. Split-level kitchens are boxed in by a bearing wall, a stair and a dining area. Nick designs the new layout around what can safely change, and the partner contractor sizes any beam and rebuilds the stair railing. Often the old wall line becomes a counter with seating, and daylight from the front window finally reaches the sink.

Is Augusta Township inside Kitchen NV’s service area?

Yes, though it is one of our longer drives at about 50 minutes, or 32 miles, from Pinckney. We take on Augusta projects by appointment and stack the agenda for each visit, pairing consultation with measuring and design review with selections.

Do you offer design-only help for Augusta homeowners doing their own install?

Yes. Nick can provide the layout, 3D renderings, elevations and installation drawings, and Kitchen NV can order the cabinetry, while you or your own trades handle installation. It is a good fit for handy rural homeowners, and Nick can answer questions as the install goes along.
