Kitchen Remodeling in West Bloomfield Township, MI

Scheduled appointments, from consultation to install

Projects start with a consultation at the house that runs like an interview, then measuring and photos. Design proceeds under a retainer: layout options, floor plans, elevations, 3D renderings, installation drawings and a pricing presentation. For bigger homes, that often includes the bar, butler’s pantry or breakfast room alongside the kitchen.

Stone, tile and hardware get chosen from samples laid out in the West Bloomfield house itself. With the purchase agreement signed, the cabinet order is ours to place and track; partner contractors build, and Nick comes back at each milestone to hold the details to the drawings.

Pine Lake and Orchard Lake homes with 1990s kitchens

Houses from this era often have a large kitchen with a cooktop island, a planning desk, a sunken or two-step family room and plenty of angled walls. Cabinets are usually oak, cherry or white thermofoil, and many kitchens got granite in the 2000s without any change to the layout.

The common problems are a cooktop island that blocks conversation, upper cabinets cut by angled soffits and a breakfast area that no longer gets used. On lake and wooded lots, windows face the view but are often interrupted by wall cabinets. Re-planning usually means a cleaner island, a range wall with a proper hood and tall storage moved off the view side.

The township is often called the lake township of Oakland County. Pine Lake lies entirely inside it, part of Cass Lake, the largest lake in the county, falls within its borders, and Orchard Lake sits just west of Pine Lake. Most of its growth came after the 1960s, as families moved out from older Detroit suburbs, which is why so many kitchens here share the same 1970s to 1990s layout habits.

Kitchen remodeling in West Bloomfield Township for larger homes

Luxury Kitchen RemodelMany West Bloomfield houses justify furniture-grade cabinetry, natural stone and a custom hood when the room is fully rebuilt, because the kitchen sits at the center of a large, open main floor.Kitchen RemodelingRe-planning an angled 1990s layout is a full remodel, from the floor plan and the two-step family room transition to wiring, gas lines and a lighting plan for tall ceilings.Kitchen DesignLarge kitchens need 3D studies to test island size, seating and the sightlines to Pine Lake, Cass Lake or the wooded yard before a single cabinet is ordered.Kitchen CabinetsCabinetry design is Nick’s specialty, and it carries most of the change when a big township kitchen trades thermofoil and angled soffits for clean, full-height runs.Custom Range HoodsMoving the cooktop out of a 1990s island usually puts a range on the perimeter wall, and a properly sized custom hood becomes the room’s focal point and its ventilation.Kitchen CountertopsLong islands and full-height backsplashes need slab layouts planned with the fabricator before cutting, especially with veined quartzite or marble on a run longer than one slab.Wine Cellar & Home BarLarger homes here often carry a wet bar, butler’s pantry or lower-level entertaining space, and designing it with the kitchen keeps cabinetry and stone consistent.
