Most kitchen remodels in Ypsilanti take between three and eight weeks from demolition to completion. The timeline depends heavily on the scope of work — a countertop and cabinet replacement moves faster than a full gut renovation with layout changes. Lead times on custom cabinetry can also affect scheduling. Michigan Rose will give you a realistic project timeline as part of your proposal, and we hold to it.
A kitchen refresh typically means updating surfaces without touching the layout or structure — new cabinet doors, hardware, countertops, backsplash, or paint. A full remodel involves reconfiguring the layout, replacing cabinets entirely, and potentially moving plumbing, electrical, or walls. Michigan Rose handles both — and we’ll help you figure out which one actually solves the problems you’re experiencing.
It depends on how you cook, how much maintenance you want, and what aesthetic you’re going for. Quartz is the most popular choice right now — it’s non-porous, extremely durable, and available in a wide range of colors that mimic natural stone. Granite is a classic that holds up well. Marble is stunning but requires more upkeep. Butcher block adds warmth and is a great option for islands or prep zones. We’ll walk you through all the options during your consultation.
In most cases, yes. If your layout is staying similar and you’re not relocating the sink, dishwasher, or major appliances, we work around the existing rough-in locations. If you do want to relocate plumbing or update the electrical panel to handle modern kitchen loads, Michigan Rose coordinates all licensed trade work through our network of experienced Michigan contractors.
It depends on the scope of work. Surface-level updates — countertops, cabinets, tile — typically don’t require permits. Work that involves moving walls, relocating plumbing, or altering electrical circuits does require permits and inspections under Michigan’s building codes. Michigan Rose handles permit applications as part of the project where required — we don’t skip steps that protect you and your home.
Most homeowners remain in their home throughout a kitchen remodel. We set up dust barriers and maintain clear access to other areas of the house. We’ll be straightforward about which phases of the project create the most disruption — typically demolition and flooring — so you can plan around them. Temporary kitchen setups (a microwave, mini fridge, and a countertop burner) can make the process manageable for most households.
