    Renovation Service

    Kitchen Remodels

    Cabinet replacements, countertop upgrades, and full gut renovations across Metro Detroit and Southeast Michigan.

    Home & Hardscape remodels kitchens for homeowners throughout Metro Detroit and Southeast Michigan. From cabinet replacement and countertop upgrades to full gut-and-rebuild projects, we manage the work from demo to final trim.

    Scope

    What's Included in a Kitchen Remodel

    A kitchen remodel can mean anything from swapping out cabinet doors to taking the room down to the studs and starting over. Most projects fall somewhere in between.

    Cosmetic refresh

    New cabinet doors, hardware, countertops, and backsplash without moving anything structural. The fastest and most affordable way to update a dated kitchen. Most cosmetic refreshes take 1 to 2 weeks.

    Mid-range remodel

    New cabinets, countertops, flooring, backsplash, and updated lighting. Same layout, everything replaced. The most common kitchen remodel scope for Metro Detroit homeowners. Takes 3 to 5 weeks.

    Full gut remodel

    In-scope demolition, cabinetry, countertops, tile, flooring, and finishes. Electrical and plumbing work must be arranged independently. Best for kitchens with poor layouts, aging infrastructure, or significant damage. Takes 6 to 12 weeks depending on scope.

    What We Install

    Kitchen Remodel Components

    Cabinets

    We install semi-custom and custom cabinetry from trusted suppliers. Cabinet choice has the biggest impact on both the look and the budget of a kitchen remodel. We help you choose based on your style, storage needs, and budget. Not just what looks good in a showroom.

    Countertops

    Quartz is the most popular countertop choice for Metro Detroit kitchens. Durable, low maintenance, and available in a wide range of styles. We also install granite, marble, butcher block, and laminate depending on budget and preference.

    Backsplash

    Tile, stone, or slab backsplash installed to complement your countertops and cabinets. We handle the tile work in-house. No separate tile contractor needed.

    Flooring

    Hardwood, LVP (luxury vinyl plank), tile, or refinished existing hardwood. We coordinate or install kitchen flooring as part of the remodel so everything gets done at the right time in the right sequence.

    Electrical scope (not offered)

    Electrical, plumbing, and gas connections are outside Home & Hardscape’s offered scope. Arrange that work independently with appropriately qualified professionals.

    Plumbing scope (not offered)

    Electrical, plumbing, and gas connections are outside Home & Hardscape’s offered scope. Arrange that work independently with appropriately qualified professionals.

    Appliances

    We don't sell appliances, but we coordinate installation timing so your new appliances arrive and get set in place at the right point in the project. If you need appliance recommendations, we're happy to share what's worked well in past projects.

    How We Build

    The Kitchen Remodel Process

    1

    Initial consultation

    We walk your kitchen, discuss what you want to change, and establish a realistic budget range before anything else.

    2

    Design & selections

    Cabinet layout, countertop material, tile, flooring, and fixtures are selected. We provide a detailed scope of work and contract before demo begins.

    Permits

    Permit and inspection requirements vary by project and municipality. Confirm applicable requirements with your local building department before work begins; responsibilities must be clear in the written agreement.

    4

    Demo

    Existing cabinets, countertops, flooring, and anything being replaced is removed and disposed of.

    5

    Rough-in work

    Electrical, plumbing, and gas connections are outside Home & Hardscape’s offered scope. Arrange that work independently with appropriately qualified professionals. Structural concerns require appropriate professional review.

    6

    Rough-in work is inspected and approved before walls are closed.

    7

    Drywall & paint

    Walls are closed, finished, and painted.

    8

    Cabinet installation

    Cabinets are set, leveled, and secured.

    Countertops are templated after cabinet installation and installed 1 to 2 weeks later.

    Tile, flooring & fixtures

    Backsplash tile, flooring, and contracted finish work are installed; electrical and plumbing connections are not included.

    11

    Final trim & punch list

    Trim, hardware, and final details are completed. We walk the finished kitchen with you before we consider the job done.

    FAQ

    Frequently Asked Questions

    A cosmetic refresh takes 1 to 2 weeks. A mid-range remodel with new cabinets and countertops takes 3 to 5 weeks. A full gut remodel takes 6 to 12 weeks depending on scope, permit timing, and material lead times.

    Permit and inspection requirements vary by project and municipality. Confirm applicable requirements with your local building department before work begins; responsibilities must be clear in the written agreement.

    Yes, most homeowners do. We set up a temporary kitchen space. A folding table with a microwave and coffee maker goes a long way, and we keep work contained to the kitchen as much as possible. A full gut remodel is more disruptive than a cosmetic refresh, but it's manageable.

    Quartz is the most popular choice and for good reason. It's non-porous, doesn't need sealing, resists staining, and holds up to daily use. Granite is a close second and has a more natural look. Both are excellent long-term choices for Michigan homes.

    The biggest budget risks are scope creep and surprise discoveries behind walls. We address both upfront. A detailed scope and contract before work begins, and an honest conversation about what's likely to be found in older Metro Detroit homes before demo starts. Changes during construction always cost more than decisions made in the planning phase.
