A look inside a recent kitchen-and-living transformation in Ann Arbor’s Burns Park neighborhood.
The Burns Park Kitchen
Ann Arbor, MI · 1928 Tudor revival
Full gut renovation
A century-old kitchen, brought into 2026.
The homeowners wanted a kitchen that honored the Tudor’s original character while opening up sightlines and adding genuine workspace. We took the kitchen down to the studs, reframed for a wider island, custom-built cabinetry to match original millwork, and added a steel-and-glass partition that lets light flow but keeps the floor plans defined.
Real ranges. No surprises.
Premium renovation isn’t cheap, and we won’t pretend otherwise. Below are honest investment ranges based on our actual projects across Southeast Michigan. Most homeowners land near the middle.
Why ranges, not flat numbers? Every home is different. Layout complexity, structural surprises, finish selections, and your timeline all affect final cost. We give you a fixed proposal after the on-site consultation — no shifting numbers, no scope creep. Get a real estimate →

A renovation should feel like the house was always meant to be this way.
Wright’s design-build approach starts with a question most contractors never ask: how do you actually use this space?
Design before demolition
Most renovation problems are decisions made too late. A wall comes out, then someone realizes the new layout traps the refrigerator door against the island. A bathroom gets framed, then the vanity won’t fit the way it looked on paper. The team at Wright’s spends weeks before a single tool comes out — measuring, sketching, building 3D models, and walking through the design with the homeowner in the actual space. That up-front investment is why Wright’s projects finish on time. The mistakes that derail timelines on other jobs get caught at the design table, where they cost an afternoon of revision instead of a week of demolition. The philosophy is borrowed from the design-build tradition: one team, one accountability chain, one set of drawings. No architect blaming the builder. No builder blaming the architect. Just the people who designed it making sure it gets built that way.The best renovations are invisible. You walk into the kitchen and it just feels right, and you cannot tell what was original and what was added.— Connor Wright, founder
Built for the long version of the story
A renovation is not the end of a story; it is a chapter. The kitchen renovated in 2026 will host Thanksgiving in 2042, and the materials, fixtures, and layout choices all need to age in good faith with the family using them. Wright’s defaults to materials and finishes that look better with use, not worse — solid maple over particle-core cabinetry, full-slab quartz over sheet laminate, mortared tile over click-lock flooring. The premium adds 6 to 12 percent to the project cost and removes the need to renovate again in eight years. Every kitchen project includes a 25-year cabinet warranty and a 10-year workmanship warranty. Every bathroom gets a Schluter-system waterproofing membrane, even though state code only requires a basic vapor barrier. Those choices show up in the line-item budget, never as hidden upgrades after the contract is signed. The result is a finished space that still looks intentional ten years later — when the trends that drove the original design have moved on, but the underlying decisions still serve the people living in the house.Honest budgets, written once
The proposal a homeowner signs is the price they pay, barring scope changes they request in writing. No allowances that magically double. No surprise change orders.One project manager, one phone number
The same project manager owns the job from kickoff to punch list. No game of telephone between sales, design, and field. The homeowner texts one person and gets answers.The house stays livable
Plastic zip walls, daily cleanup, dust filtration on every active job. Families can stay in their home through most projects without losing their sanity to construction dust.Permits pulled, codes followed
Every project that requires a permit gets one. Every inspection gets passed. Resale appraisals look clean because the paperwork matches the work.From one truck to a Southeast Michigan institution
Wright’s was built the way the best Michigan homes are built — slowly, on purpose, with the long view in mind.
Wright’s Renovations founded in Ypsilanti
Connor Wright registers the LLC at nineteen, books the first remodel — a Saline kitchen — and begins the slow process of building a brand on word of mouth alone.
First full design-build team
Wright’s hires its first project manager and design lead. The company expands from kitchens and bathrooms into whole-home renovations and starts taking on additions.
Platt Road headquarters opens
The team moves into the current Ypsilanti office and shop space. A dedicated design studio gives homeowners somewhere to review materials, finishes, and renderings in person.
Geographic expansion across all six counties
Wright’s takes on its first projects in Oakland and Macomb counties. Active projects span Washtenaw, Wayne, Oakland, Livingston, Monroe and Macomb — a 60-mile radius from headquarters.
Director-level leadership team
Katherine Anderson joins as Director of Strategic Operations; Will Sujek joins as Director of New Business. The company crosses 30 finished projects per year and a 5-star average across more than 30 verified reviews.
Inc. 5000 application year
Wright’s submits for the 2026 Inc. 5000 list on the back of multi-year revenue growth. The team continues to scale toward a stated long-term target of $10M annual revenue by 2028 to 2030.
Every Wright’s project comes with these as standard
The line-item budget covers every box below before a single optional upgrade is discussed. No nickel-and-dime add-ons. No surprise allowances.
Design & planning
In-home design consultation
A 90-minute session at the homeowner’s house with the design lead and project manager. Measurements taken, photographs catalogued, scope documented in writing the same week.
3D renderings of the proposed space
Photorealistic models the homeowner can walk through before demolition starts. Edits are unlimited during the design phase, included in the base proposal.
Materials and finishes selection meeting
A guided session at the Platt Road design studio. Cabinet samples, countertop slabs, tile boards, plumbing fixtures, and hardware all reviewed in person under matched lighting.
Permit drawings and code review
Stamped construction drawings for any project that requires a building, electrical, plumbing, or mechanical permit. Filing handled by Wright’s; the homeowner never visits the municipal office.
Construction & protection
Dust-controlled work zones
Zip-wall dust barriers installed before demolition. Air scrubbers run for the duration of any dust-generating work. Daily sweep and HEPA vacuuming.
Floor and surface protection
Ram board on every walking path. Stair tread covers. Furniture pads on anything that stays in the work zone. The house gets handed back in the same condition as the un-renovated areas.
Daily on-site project manager
The same project manager who scoped the job walks the site every day, sends a photo update by 5 p.m., and handles any homeowner question within one business day.
Final punch list and walk-through
Before final payment, the homeowner and project manager walk the finished work line-by-line. Anything that does not meet the agreed standard gets fixed before the invoice closes.
