Custom Kitchen Remodeling & Design Services in San Antonio

Like everything we do, your kitchen remodel is designed and built as one complete project. Here’s what that means for kitchens:

• Custom cabinets and islands form the base of most kitchen renovations. We partner with local cabinet makers who build to our specifications (and yours). Don’t settle for cabinet boxes with mediocre slides and hardware. Expect full extension drawers, soft-close features, and durable finishes.
• Luxury grade countertops, whether quartz, granite, or marble are templated AFTER cabinets are installed. This ensures the seams and cutouts for sinks, faucet hooks, and appliance interfaces are precise. Waterfall edges, mitered corners, and slab-on-bull trips are available when your design requires them.
• Opening up the kitchen means removing walls that close off the room from the rest of your home. Sometimes that wall is load-bearing, other times it isn’t. If it is, we coordinate an engineer, permits, and the proper beam before finishing the wall so it looks intentional.
• Restaurant grade appliances are better coordinated into your kitchen when we manage the full project. Whether they need gas or electrical connections, have ventilation requirements, or need to be measured and plumbed for outdoor kitchens – we’ve got you covered.
• Lighting design includes layers of task, accent, pendant, and recessed fixtures to ensure your renovated kitchen is beautiful and functional. Circuits will be roughed in during the remodel so you aren’t playing extension cord games when you need to get cooking.
• Included kitchens can connect to butler's pantries and walk-in storage when the space allows. Cabinets are permitted and finished to blend seamlessly with your kitchen.
• Finally, tile and backsplash work is completed, along with any plumbing changes and electrical upgrades. Layouts are determined prior to installation to avoid common mistakes.

As standard on every kitchen remodel:

• General contractor management of all aspects of the project
• Licensed and insured subcontractors only
• Detailed written estimate with pricing that won’t change
• Required permits and inspections scheduled
• Daily supervision of job and progressive phone updates
• Countertop templating after cabinetry is installed
• Final walkthrough to create a punch list

Key Benefits of a Kitchen Remodel with D. Michael Designs

If the way you live in your home has changed, or your kitchen no longer functions like you need it to, it may be time to consider a kitchen remodel San Antonio homeowners love. Benefits of working with our team include:

• Food prep simplified by reorganizing the kitchen layout to fit how you cook
• More storage space by maximizing cabinet and island designs
• Updated kitchen finishes and lighting that look great and function well
• Opening up the kitchen to adjacent rooms when your floor plan allows it
• Plumbing and electrical updates that are coded and coordinate with new appliances or layout changes
• No need to juggle different vendors. One contractor manages the full sequence of your kitchen remodel.
• Staying organized with clear communication and a defined scope of work.

How We Approach Kitchen Remodeling

During your initial consultation, we get to know how your family uses the kitchen. What don’t you like about the current space? With that knowledge, we take away and design a plan that addresses your goals and covers all details.

A detailed written proposal and schedule are laid out before starting any work. We pull permits for plumbing, electrical, and any structural changes that require it. On kitchen remodels, one project lead supervises the work. Cabinets are installed before countertops are templated so seams and cutouts line up perfectly. Appliance installation is carefully coordinated so gas, electric, and vent connections are made and operational before closeout.

There are subtle differences in the sequence of projects based on the scope of work. Some projects are simple upgrades and don’t require walls to be torn down. Others incorporate an open concept by removing a wall between the kitchen and living space. Our approach tweaks to the change needed, but clear communication and coordination of trades remains consistent.
