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

Before
A walk-in pantry fitted with white wire shelving on three walls, tins and boxes stacked on the floor underneath.
After
The same pantry with a butcher block counter along two walls over white shaker cabinets and drawers, and butcher block shelves above on black brackets.

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

  1. 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.

  2. Cabinets first

    Painting or refacing happens before backsplash and hardware, so nothing new gets damaged.

  3. Backsplash and hardware

    These two change a kitchen more per pound than anything else in it.

  4. 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.
