Kitchen Remodeling in Fenton, MI

Older homes near the Shiawassee River and newer floor plans

In older houses near downtown, kitchens tend to be narrow, with doorways on three sides and little uninterrupted wall. Moving one door or closing a little-used entry can do more than new cabinets. These houses also hide older wiring and plumbing, so the scope of work plans for what might turn up behind the plaster.

The subdivisions present the opposite challenge. The kitchen sits open to the family room, so every choice shows from the sofa, and a builder-grade island often ends up too shallow for seating and too small for prep. Getting the proportions right matters more than adding features.

What a Fenton project looks like from the first call

It begins with a call to (810) 923-8792 and an interview-style consultation. A design retainer starts the drawing work: Nick measures the house, then presents layouts, 3D renderings, elevations and pricing. Selections follow, and samples can come to your house so you judge them in your own light. The cabinetry is ordered once the purchase agreement is signed, and Nick coordinates partner contractors and returns at planned points through the install.
