Kitchen Remodeling in Metro Detroit: what to expect
Kitchen remodels range from new countertops and cabinet fronts to a full gut with a new layout and an opened wall. The more you move (sink, range, walls), the more trades, permits and time you need.
Older Metro Detroit kitchens often have limited circuits, no dedicated appliance lines, and venting that does not reach outside. A modern kitchen usually needs several new circuits, which may push an older electrical panel to its limit. Moving a gas range means new gas piping by a licensed contractor.
Removing a wall to open the kitchen to the dining or living room is common in bungalows and colonials. If the wall carries load, it needs a beam designed for it and a permit. See load-bearing wall removal.
What a proper job includes
- A layout and a written list of cabinets, counters and appliances
- Dust control and a plan for a temporary kitchen
- Demolition and haul-away
- New circuits and lighting by a licensed electrician
- Plumbing and gas piping by licensed trades
- Range hood vented to the outside where planned
- Cabinet, countertop, backsplash and flooring installation
- Permits, inspections and a final walkthrough
What drives the price
- Keeping the layout versus moving plumbing, gas or walls
- Cabinet type: stock, semi-custom or custom
- Countertop material and edge details
- Electrical panel capacity and new circuits
- Appliance package and hood venting route
- Flooring and whether it runs under cabinets
- Hidden conditions behind older walls and floors

Permits and licensing in Michigan
New circuits need an electrical permit, sink and gas changes need plumbing or mechanical permits, and wall removal needs a building permit. In Detroit, permits and inspections go through BSEED; elsewhere, the city or township building department (or the county or state, where they enforce) issues them.
Michigan licenses residential builders and maintenance and alteration contractors through LARA under Article 24 of the Occupational Code. A license is required for paid residential work above a threshold set by state law. Paid work that disturbs paint in a pre-1978 home must follow EPA lead-safe rules.
