Price

What drives the cost of kitchen remodeling in Royal Oak

  • 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
  • The age of the home: the typical Royal Oak home was built around 1956, so older materials, lead-safe rules and hidden damage can add time

Before you hire in Royal Oak

Lead-safe work rules apply to most homes

The typical home in Royal Oak was built around 1956. Painting, window, siding and remodeling work that disturbs paint in homes built before 1978 must follow the EPA lead-safe (RRP) rule. Ask any contractor for their RRP certification before work starts.

Older plumbing and sewer lines

61% of homes here were built before 1960, when cast iron drains, clay sewer laterals and galvanized supply pipe were standard. A sewer camera inspection before buying or remodeling is cheap insurance.

Permits: check with the Royal Oak building department before work starts.
