Kitchen refresh in the Grand Rapids area
Cabinet work, hardware, backsplash and countertop swaps without a full gut.
What usually goes wrong
- Cabinets that are structurally fine but look dated
- Hardware from a previous decade
- A backsplash you have never liked
- Worktops that are worn but not failing
- Wanting a change without a full gut
A pantry we did
Same room, same footprint. Wire shelving out, cabinets and butcher block in — the shelves above are the same block on brackets.
How we do it
-
Work out what is actually worth keeping
Solid cabinet boxes are worth keeping and refinishing. Particleboard that's swelling is not. We'll be straight about which you have.
-
Cabinets first
Painting or refacing happens before backsplash and hardware, so nothing new gets damaged.
-
Backsplash and hardware
These two change a kitchen more per pound than anything else in it.
-
Trim, caulk and adjust
Doors realigned, drawers running properly, everything caulked and touched up.
Questions worth asking
- Is refinishing cabinets worth it?
- If the boxes are solid, yes — it's a fraction of replacement and the result is genuinely good. If they're falling apart, it's money after bad.
- Can we use the kitchen while you work?
- Mostly. Expect some days without doors on the cabinets, and a day or two where the sink area is out of action.
- Do you do worktops?
- We handle some worktop swaps. Stone templating and fabrication we bring a specialist in for.
What it costs
Every job is priced on its own. Text or email a photo of what you're looking at and we can usually give you a number without coming out — for bigger jobs we'll come and see it properly first.
You get the price before we start, not after.
