Book Your Free Discovery CallYou've Been Thinking About This for a While
Your kitchen is the heart of your home — and right now, it's working against you. Cramped counters, outdated appliances, a layout designed for someone else's life. You've been thinking about this for a while. Maybe a year. Maybe longer.
What's held you back isn't the desire — it's the fear. Fear of budget overruns. Fear of a contractor who disappears mid-project. Fear of living in chaos for months with no end in sight. Fear of making the wrong design choices and regretting them for decades.
Thornapple exists to shield you from all of it. Our process starts with a 2-3 hour in-home consultation where we measure your space, build 3D models in real time, and give you an honest budget range — before you commit to anything. From there, every decision is guided, every cost is locked, and every detail is protected.
Everything Your Kitchen Needs — Nothing You Don't
Layout & 3D Design
See your new kitchen before a single wall is touched. We build 3D models in 10 minutes during your consultation — so you can explore open-concept conversions, island placements, and traffic flow without guessing.
Cabinetry That Works Harder
Full cabinet upgrades with soft-close hardware, pull-out shelving, and custom storage solutions sized to your life — not a catalog template. Every inch of storage is planned around how you actually cook and live.
Countertops & Backsplash
Quartz, granite, marble, butcher block — we walk you through every option so you choose the surface that fits your routine, not just your aesthetic. Expertly templated and installed with zero guesswork.
Islands & Added Counter Space
Custom island construction for prep space, casual seating, and storage — designed to prevent the bottleneck that happens when everyone gathers in your kitchen at once.
Electrical & Plumbing — Done Right
Updated wiring for modern appliance loads, under-cabinet lighting, new plumbing lines, and proper ventilation. We handle permits and inspections so you never set foot in a municipal office.
Flooring & Finishes
Hardwood, tile, luxury vinyl — installed with precision to complete your kitchen. We protect adjacent rooms with plastic barriers and floor coverings so the rest of your home stays livable.
Everything Handled. No Surprises.

Answers Before You Even Have to Ask
Thornapple kitchen remodel pricing depends on scope — cabinetry, countertops, appliances, layout changes, plumbing, and electrical work all factor in. We provide a fixed-price contract after scope finalization — the price we quote is the price you pay. No allowance games, no surprise change orders.
A typical kitchen remodel takes 8 to 14 weeks from demolition to final walkthrough. Timeline depends on the scope of work, material lead times, and whether structural changes are involved. We map out every milestone before work begins and give you 24/7 access to your project schedule through our project portal — so you always know what's happening and when.
Yes. Most of our clients stay in their homes during the entire remodel. We install plastic dust barriers, lay floor coverings throughout work zones, and bring portable restrooms so our crew never uses your bathroom. We also schedule professional cleanings throughout the project. You'll be without your kitchen for a stretch, so we recommend setting up a temporary prep area with a microwave and mini fridge — we'll help you plan for that.
Our quotes are comprehensive and itemized. They include design, materials, labor, permits, project management, dust protection, portable restrooms, and professional cleanings. There are no hidden fees. You see every line item before you sign. If something isn't in the quote, it won't show up on your invoice.
Most kitchen remodels involving electrical, plumbing, or structural changes require permits in Grand Rapids and surrounding municipalities. We handle all permit applications and inspections as part of your project — you never have to visit a municipal office or worry about code compliance. It's built into our process.
We work with quartz, granite, marble, quartzite, butcher block, and solid surface materials. During your consultation, we help you weigh durability, maintenance, and aesthetics so you choose the surface that fits your life — not just your style preferences. If you're feeling decision overwhelm, that's exactly what our design process is built to prevent.
