Kitchen Remodeling in Hamburg Township, MI

A design studio on Kress Rd, not a store across the county

Being in the same township changes how a project feels. The first consultation is at your house, interview style: Nick wants to see how the kitchen meets the lake side of the home, where groceries come in, and how many people crowd the island on a summer weekend. With a short drive, return trips for measuring, sample boards and site checks during construction are simple to fit in.

If you go ahead, a design retainer opens the design phase: floor-plan options, a 3D model, elevations, installer drawings and pricing, then finish selections, hourly or packaged. With the purchase agreement signed, Kitchen NV places the cabinet and material orders and follows each one, and Nick lines up the partner contractors and keeps an eye on the build.

Winterized cottages and hillside walkouts above Strawberry, Zukey and Gallagher lakes

Cottage conversions are the township's signature kitchen problem. A place built decades ago for summer weekends often grew in stages: a kitchen pushed onto a porch, a bedroom wing added, a second story later. The result can be a kitchen with two or three floor heights, low ceilings, windows in odd spots and plumbing never meant to see January. Rebuilding that room starts with framing and insulation along the exterior walls, then the question of where the sink can go.

The walkout homes on the hills above the chain bring the opposite issue. They are larger and newer, but the kitchen sits a level above the lower patio, and the lake view runs across the back wall where cabinets would normally go. We often trade uppers on that wall for glass and move storage into a tall pantry run or a deeper island.

Away from the lakes, the township is wooded subdivisions and rural lots, some on private wells. Hard well water affects which faucet finishes and sink materials age gracefully, a topic covered in our post on well water kitchen fixtures.
