Kitchen remodeling in Tyrone Township, MI is the far northeast corner of our Livingston County work, about 40 minutes (26 miles) from our Kress Rd studio, with Fenton just across the line in Genesee County. About 11,993 residents (2020 Census) live in the township.

Tyrone's character comes from its lakes and its acreage. Lake Tyrone and Runyan Lake hold year-round lake homes, and much of the rest is large rural lots, so the typical kitchen here is either on the water or set well back from the road on a few acres.

Lake Tyrone, Runyan Lake and permits through Livingston County

Although Tyrone borders Fenton, it is a Livingston County township, so its remodels are permitted and inspected by Livingston County's building department rather than any Genesee County office, and Tyrone Township handles zoning. Some homes may carry a Fenton mailing address, which is one more reason we check the parcel before anything is submitted.

US-23 links the township south to Hartland and Brighton, the route Nick drives for consultations. Township Hall sits at 8420 Runyan Lake Road, where the Planning and Zoning Department handles the local paperwork.

The township requires land use permits or waivers for all new construction and additions. Its application asks for a driveway sight-distance approval from the Livingston County Road Commission and a favorable percolation test from the Livingston County Health Department before a permit for a new home is issued, and building permits then come from the county building department. A kitchen remodel inside existing walls usually skips most of that, while an addition toward the lake does not, so we sort out which path applies during design.

Lake homes and rural acreage in northeast Livingston

Lake Tyrone and Runyan Lake homes share the familiar lake-house tensions: a view wall that wants glass rather than cabinets, wet traffic from the dock, and a kitchen that has to seat a summer crowd. Many have been rebuilt or expanded from earlier cottages, which can leave framing and floor levels that do not line up.

On rural lots, private wells and septic shape fixture and appliance choices, and the distance to town makes storage matter: households keep more food on hand, so a real pantry earns its space. Freeze-thaw winters also make exterior-wall sinks a detail to check.

Forty minutes from Kress Rd, planned so every Tyrone visit counts

This far from our studio, we organize the work to limit trips without cutting corners. Nick meets you at the home for the first consultation and leaves with full measurements and photos. A design retainer starts the design phase: layout choices, a 3D view, elevations and the drawings the crew will build from, then the pricing. Renderings and selections can often be covered in one longer session with samples on the table.

When the purchase agreement is signed, we take over ordering the cabinets and materials, and Nick coordinates the partner contractors and stays connected to the job through installation.

★★★★★
“We recently finished a renovation of our kitchen, laundry/mudroom, and family room. Nick, and our contractor Renovations Unlimited, were great! I had gone to several different kitchen design places before choosing Nick and I am so glad that I chose them. Nick was the first designer that actually listened to what I wanted and didn't try and expand my kitchen into another room of my house. The design that they came up with was perfect! Nick was very involved throughout the process and was always available to answer questions and willing to help when issues came up. I wish I had better pictures b/c the ones I have attached don't do it justice. It turned out great!! We absolutely LOVE our new space and would highly recommend Nick and Renovations Unlimited.”

Kitchen remodeling in Tyrone Township: common questions

Does Kitchen NV travel as far as Tyrone Township?

Yes. Tyrone is about 40 minutes from our studio on Kress Rd and part of our Livingston County service area. We plan visits to cover more ground in each trip, but the first consultation still happens at your home, and Nick stays involved through installation alongside the partner contractors who build the kitchen.

Can you remodel a kitchen in a Lake Tyrone or Runyan Lake home?

Yes. Lake kitchens there usually need a balance of windows and storage on the lake wall, tough surfaces near the dock entry and seating for summer guests. In expanded cottages we also look at framing, floor levels and plumbing protection for winter. Those conditions get worked out in drawings and renderings before construction is priced.

Do Tyrone Township remodels go through Fenton or Livingston County for permits?

Livingston County. Tyrone Township is in Livingston County, so the permit is a Livingston County permit, issued in Howell, even when the mailing address says Fenton. The township handles zoning. Electrical and plumbing permits are separate, and we confirm the requirements for your parcel while the design is underway.
