Vivid Design and Builds

Kitchen remodeling in Oakland County

Layout, cabinets, counters and lighting planned as one room.

A kitchen planned around how you use it

A good remodel starts with what is not working: not enough counter, a dark corner, cabinets that do not hold what you own, or a wall that cuts the room off from the rest of the house.

Vivid Design and Builds plans layout, storage, lighting and finishes together, so the room works as one thing rather than a set of separate upgrades.

What to think through first

Layout

Does the kitchen stay in its footprint, or do walls and plumbing move? This is usually the largest choice in the budget.

Cabinets and storage

Decide what needs to live in the room before you choose a door style.

Counters and backsplash

Choose for how you cook and clean as well as how it looks.

Lighting

Plan task, ambient and accent light early, while the walls and ceiling are still open to change.

Appliances

Pick them before the cabinet plan is final, so sizes and power are right.

Living through it

Plan where you will cook and eat during the work.

Remodeling to sell?

Not every kitchen needs a full redo before a sale. Julian works in real estate as well as remodeling, so you can ask whether a remodel, a smaller refresh, staging or selling as-is makes the most sense for your house.

Common questions

What does Vivid Design and Builds do?

Kitchen remodeling and bathroom remodeling. Vivid Design and Builds is owned by Julian Denha.

How do I start?

Call or text Julian with your city and what you want to change. Photos of the room help. From there you can talk through layout, finishes and timing.

How much will my remodel cost?

It depends on the size of the room, whether plumbing or walls move, and the finishes. A real number comes from looking at your space and your scope.

Should I remodel before selling?

Sometimes. A focused kitchen or bath update can make sense, and sometimes staging or selling as-is is the better call. Because Julian works in real estate too, you can ask him to weigh it for your house.
