Our home renovation services cover six parts of a project: new floors, trim and cabinet carpentry, drywall, painting, permits and licensed trades. Most homeowners in Ann Arbor and Whitmore Lake need a mix of them, so we start by going over the rooms with you and deciding what changes and what stays.
We install LVP, laminate, tile and hardwood, plus epoxy flake, mica epoxy and acid-stained concrete floors.
The new floor sets the finished height of the room, so we plan it early. A thicker floor can mean trimming doors, and wherever two floors meet at a doorway, the transition needs to sit level and clean.

We install trim, baseboards, doors and cabinets. This is the finish carpentry people see up close, so tight corners, doors that close right and level cabinets matter. If you’re keeping some original trim, we pick new pieces that work with it.
Walls, ceilings, trim, doors and cabinets get painted after the drywall and carpentry are done, so new trim and repaired walls are painted together and the room looks finished as a whole.
See our interior painting serviceWe hang, repair and finish drywall on walls and ceilings. It comes before trim and paint, because every seam and patch has to be flat before anything goes on top of it.
See drywall repair and installationWe pull permits when the job needs them, which is common when a remodel includes electrical or plumbing work. Inspections get built into the schedule, so walls aren’t closed up before they’re signed off.
We coordinate licensed electricians and plumbers for the work they’re licensed to do, like adding lights or moving a sink. Their rough-in happens while the walls are open, so it’s scheduled before the drywall goes up.
One plan for the whole renovation, for homes in Ann Arbor, Dexter and across Southeast Michigan. Locally owned by Anthony Williams and based in Whitmore Lake.
Yes, we remodel kitchens and bathrooms, from a refresh of the surfaces to a full remodel with new cabinets, floors and fixtures. In both rooms, the first decision is the same: what’s still worth keeping. Cabinets, tile or a layout that still works can shape the whole plan.
In most kitchens, the cabinets decide the scope. If the boxes are solid and the layout works, painting them and updating the walls, trim and floor can be enough. If they no longer fit the way you cook, new cabinets turn it into a full remodel.
Bathrooms take more moisture than any other room in the house, so every material is chosen with that in mind, from the floor to the walls around the shower.

We finish basements from bare walls and concrete to a room you actually use: drywall, ceilings, paint, flooring, doors and trim, with the licensed trades and permits handled in the same plan. Whether it’s a rec room in South Lyon or a home office, gym or guest room anywhere in Southeast Michigan, the plan starts with how you want to use the space.
Water problems come first. We don’t do waterproofing. If water is getting in, the right professional fixes it before we start, and we moisture test the concrete before any floor goes down.
Hidden work first, finishes last: permits, then wiring and plumbing, then drywall, cabinets, paint, floors and trim. Getting the order right means nothing finished gets damaged or torn back out. Here’s how we sequence renovations in Dexter, Ann Arbor and across Southeast Michigan.
We decide what stays, what changes and which materials you want before anything comes out. Permits are pulled now, because inspections set the pace for everything that follows.
Licensed electricians and plumbers run new wiring and pipes while the walls are open. Inspections happen before anything gets covered, so no finished wall has to be cut open again.
Drywall is hung, taped and finished next. It has to be flat before paint or trim, because both make every ridge easier to see. More on our drywall repair and installation.
Tile usually goes down before cabinets, while floating floors like LVP and laminate go in later. We set that order early, because it decides cabinet height and how much room the doors need to swing.
Ceilings first, then walls, so drips land on surfaces that haven’t been painted yet. Doing it before the last floors and trim go in keeps paint off the new finishes.
The remaining floors go in near the end so they don’t get damaged, then baseboard and door trim cover the edges and get their final paint. Last, we walk the room with you against the plan.

Kitchen, bathroom, basement and whole-room renovations in Whitmore Lake and these nearby communities. Locally owned by Anthony Williams.
Michigan’s humid summers and dry, heated winters make wood floors and trim swell and shrink through the year. Materials like hardwood and LVP need time to adjust to the house before they go in, and the right gaps at walls and doorways, so we plan for both from the start.
Wherever you are in the area, the plan starts the same way: what stays, what changes and the order the work goes in.

Straight answers to the questions homeowners in Whitmore Lake, Ann Arbor, Brighton and nearby towns ask most about renovations, remodels and basement finishing.
It can include new flooring, cabinets, trim and doors, drywall, painting, permits and licensed electrical and plumbing work, all planned as one project. Some homeowners need two or three of those; others need all of them. See what’s included in our home renovation services.
A renovation usually updates what’s already there: new floors, paint, trim or cabinets. A remodel changes more of the room, like a new kitchen layout or a rebuilt shower. We do both, and the difference mostly comes down to how much of the room changes.
Yes, from a refresh of the surfaces to a full remodel with new cabinets, flooring, tile and fixtures. Plumbing and electrical work is done by licensed trades we coordinate. See our kitchen and bathroom remodeling.
Yes. Planning both together lets the permits, licensed trades and finish work run on one schedule instead of two. Tell us which room matters most to you, and we’ll plan the order around it.
Yes. We finish basements with drywall, ceilings, paint, flooring, doors and trim, with electrical and plumbing coordinated and permits pulled when needed. We moisture test the concrete first and don’t do waterproofing, so any water problem is fixed by the right professional before we start. See basement finishing.
We install LVP, laminate, tile and hardwood, plus epoxy flake, mica epoxy and acid-stained concrete floors. The right one depends on the room, how it’s used and, in a basement, the moisture test. See our mica epoxy floors.
It depends on the moisture test and how you’ll use the room. LVP, tile and coated concrete all handle a cool slab well, while hardwood needs the most care below grade. We recommend options once the concrete has been tested.
Yes. We install baseboard, door casing, interior doors and cabinets as part of a renovation. They go in once the floor height is set, so the gaps stay even and the doors swing clear.
Yes, when the job needs them, which is common when a renovation includes electrical or plumbing changes. Permits are part of the plan from the start, and inspections are worked into the schedule.
We coordinate licensed electricians and plumbers as part of your renovation, so you don’t have to hire and schedule them yourself. Their work happens while the walls are open, before drywall and finishes go in.
Planning and permits first, then electrical and plumbing rough-in, drywall, cabinets and paint, and finally floors and trim. Hidden work comes before finishes so nothing new gets damaged. See the full renovation order.
Yes. A single kitchen, bathroom, basement or bedroom is a common project. One room still gets a full plan, down to how the floors, trim and walls meet.
Tell us which rooms, whether it’s a refresh or a full remodel, what you’d like to change and the rough size of each room. Photos of the space as it is now help most, and you can email them to [email protected].
It depends on the scope, the number of rooms, permits and inspections, the licensed trades involved and when materials arrive. A one-room refresh and a full kitchen remodel are very different projects. We’ll go over timing with your estimate.
Cost depends on how many rooms are involved, how much changes, the cabinets, flooring and fixtures you choose, whether permits and licensed trades are needed and the condition of what’s there now. Every project is quoted individually, and your estimate is free.
