Kitchen Remodeling in Saline, MI

Twenty-five miles, one plan: running a Saline project from Pinckney

Nick begins at your home with an interview-style consultation and full measurements. A design retainer then covers his drawing phase, in which layouts are explored and refined in 3D before elevations, installer drawings and a pricing presentation are prepared.

Selections follow in your own kitchen, samples spread across the counter, with that time charged per hour or folded into a selections package. Your signature on the purchase agreement releases the cabinet and material orders. From there, a trusted partner contractor takes over construction, and Nick keeps tabs on the Saline site until the final walkthrough.

Kitchen remodeling in Saline, MI, downtown and out by the cul-de-sacs

Kitchen RemodelingA kitchen remodel for 2000s Saline colonials whose island and walkway no longer suit how the family moves through the room, especially where the kitchen, breakfast nook and family room share one long open wall.Kitchen CabinetsKitchen cabinets built to fit the plaster walls and tall ceilings of older houses near downtown, with stacked uppers or a full-height pantry using height the original builders never touched.Kitchen Island Design & InstallationKitchen islands resized for the neighborhoods beyond the river, where builder islands often seat two, crowd the range aisle and leave no room for a prep sink or trash pull-out.Kitchen CountertopsCountertops replacing 1990s laminate or speckled granite, chosen alongside the new backsplash so the stone, tile and cabinet color are judged together under the room's own evening light.Kitchen Lighting DesignKitchen lighting design that replaces the grid of recessed cans common in open Saline kitchens with task, pendant and under-cabinet layers on separate dimmers, so the whole open floor is not lit like an office.Kitchen DesignKitchen design for owners who want a plan in hand before choosing a contractor, useful when the same Saline mailing address could fall under the city, Pittsfield, Lodi, York or Saline Township.Bathroom RemodelingPrimary-suite bathroom remodeling for the garden tubs and builder vanities of the same 1990s and 2000s era, often planned at the same time as the kitchen to share one partner-contractor schedule.

Older homes off Michigan Avenue, newer colonials beyond the river

Saline's older houses, close to downtown, have kitchens at the back with tall ceilings, radiators where cabinets want to go and doors on every wall. The work is about fit: scribed cabinets, a tall pantry and a layout that respects the windows.

The 1990s and 2000s neighborhoods have the opposite issue. Kitchens are open to the family room, so finishes and lighting are always on view, but islands were sized by the builder and storage was an afterthought. We often extend the island, add a pantry wall, run cabinets to the ceiling and replace the grid of cans with planned lighting.
