Kitchen & Bathroom Remodeling in Traverse City
Transform the Spaces You Use Every Day
A kitchen or bathroom remodel should do more than look better. It should improve the way your home functions, solve problems with the existing space, and add lasting value to your home.
Traverse City Builders provides complete kitchen and bathroom remodeling throughout Traverse City and Northern Michigan. From demolition and layout changes to cabinetry, tile, trim, and final finishes, we manage the project from start to finish.

Bathroom Remodeling
Better Function. Better Materials. Better Use of Space.
A well-designed bathroom should be comfortable, durable, and easy to maintain.
We remodel everything from small guest bathrooms to complete primary suites, including:
Full bathroom renovations
Custom tile showers
Walk-in showers

Drywall and painting
We pay particular attention to waterproofing and the details behind the finished surfaces—because what you can't see is just as important as what you can.
More Than a Cosmetic Remodel
Sometimes a new kitchen or bathroom requires more than replacing what's already there.
We can rework the existing space by moving walls, changing doorways, relocating plumbing and electrical, modifying windows, and making structural changes when necessary.
If your existing layout doesn't work, you don't necessarily have to live with it.
Our Remodeling Process
1. Initial Consultation
We start by looking at the existing space and discussing what you want to change, your priorities, and the overall investment you're comfortable making.
2. Design & Selections
We determine the layout, materials, fixtures, cabinetry, tile, and other selections needed to properly plan the project.
3. Detailed Proposal
Once the scope is established, we provide a detailed proposal so you understand what's included before construction begins.
4. Construction
Our team coordinates demolition, carpentry, plumbing, electrical, drywall, cabinetry, tile, painting, and the other trades required to complete your remodel.
5. Final Details
We complete the finish work, perform a final walkthrough, and make sure the project is ready for you to enjoy.
Why Choose Traverse City Builders?
One Team From Start to Finish
Instead of coordinating multiple contractors yourself, you have one company responsible for managing the project.
Quality Craftsmanship
We believe the details matter. Our team is given the time needed to produce quality work rather than rushing through projects to get to the next job.
Clear Communication
Remodeling can be disruptive. We work to keep you informed about scheduling, decisions, changes, and what to expect next.
Trusted Local Trades
We work with experienced local electricians, plumbers, suppliers, and other tradespeople who we trust to work in our clients' homes.
Built Correctly Behind the Walls
A beautiful finished project doesn't mean much if what's underneath it wasn't done correctly. We pay attention to framing, waterproofing, electrical, plumbing, ventilation, and the other details that determine how well your remodel performs over time.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a kitchen remodel cost?
Kitchen remodeling costs vary significantly depending on the size of the kitchen, cabinetry, countertops, appliances, layout changes, and finish selections. After seeing the space and understanding the scope, we can help establish a realistic project budget.
How much does a bathroom remodel cost?
Bathroom costs depend heavily on the size of the room and the amount of tile, plumbing work, fixtures, and layout changes involved. A simple tub-and-surround replacement is very different from a custom primary bathroom with a tiled shower and heated floors.
Can you move walls?
Yes. Many of our remodeling projects involve changing layouts, removing walls, relocating doors, or making other structural modifications. When engineering or architectural plans are required, we can coordinate that as part of the project.
Do you handle plumbing and electrical?
Yes. We coordinate the licensed trades required for the project so you don't have to manage separate contractors yourself.
Can we stay in our home during the remodel?
Usually, yes. It depends on the extent of the project. We'll discuss access, dust control, scheduling, and what areas of the home will be unavailable before construction begins.
