Troy Home Renovations: Professional Updates for Oakland County Living

Troy’s corporate corridor brings professionals from around the world, creating one of Michigan’s most diverse communities. The Somerset Collection anchors retail, top-rated schools attract families, and the housing stock ranges from 1960s ranches to luxury contemporary estates. This isn’t a community united by a single architectural style or demographic – it’s diverse in every sense, which shows in renovation requests spanning modest bathroom updates to comprehensive luxury remodels. Wright’s Renovations adapts to Troy’s varied character, delivering quality work regardless of project scale or style.

The city’s international population influences design preferences too. Some homeowners want traditional American aesthetics. Others prefer contemporary clean lines. Still others blend cultural traditions with modern Michigan living. Wright’s Renovations tailors approaches to each family’s preferences rather than pushing a house style that might work everywhere but feel right nowhere.

Kitchen Renovations With High-End Appliances

Troy homeowners frequently request kitchen renovations featuring professional-grade appliance packages, custom cabinetry with specialized storage, premium stone surfaces, and sophisticated finishes. These aren’t starter home kitchens – they’re designed for people who cook seriously, entertain regularly, and expect quality in every detail.

A recent project on Hunters Point Drive exemplifies Troy kitchen renovations at their finest. The homeowners wanted a kitchen suitable for their serious cooking while providing space for their teenagers to help or hang out. Wright’s Renovations designed an L-shaped layout with a large island, installed custom cabinets with specialized organizers for cookware and spices, incorporated a professional range with high-output burners and commercial-grade hood ventilation, and selected quartz surfaces that could handle daily use without showing wear. The $88,000 investment created a kitchen that functions as well as it looks.

Master Suite Luxury Upgrades

The master suites in Troy’s 1960s through 1980s homes often disappoint homeowners accustomed to more spacious, luxurious environments. Small bedrooms, cramped bathrooms, inadequate closets – these don’t match what professional families expect. Master suite renovations or additions transform these spaces into genuine retreats.

Solutions range from expanding within existing footprints to building full additions that create entirely new square footage. A project on Stonybrook Court added a master suite extension including a spacious bedroom with sitting area, bathroom with separate tub and walk-in shower, heated floors, and large walk-in closet with custom organization. The $118,000 investment eliminated their need to move while creating the master suite they’d wanted since purchasing the home five years earlier.

Basement Finishing With Theater and Bar

Troy’s professional demographic often wants finished basements that go beyond basic recreation rooms. Home theaters with proper acoustics and seating, sophisticated wet bars for entertaining, wine storage, even dedicated game rooms with billiards or golf simulators. These comprehensive basement projects create genuine entertainment destinations.

Investment levels vary dramatically based on features and finish quality. Basic basement finishing runs $40,000 to $65,000. Adding home theater elements, custom bars, specialty lighting, and premium finishes pushes costs to $75,000 to $125,000 or beyond. A family on Allentown Drive recently finished their 1,400 square foot basement for $92,000, including a home theater with tiered seating, wet bar with wine storage, and full bathroom. They now host movie nights and game days that would overwhelm their main floor.

Smart Home Technology Integration

Troy’s tech-savvy population frequently wants smart home capabilities integrated during renovations. Whole-home lighting systems controllable via phone or voice commands. Automated climate control that learns patterns and adjusts proactively. Security systems with cameras and smart locks. Entertainment systems accessible throughout the house. Wright’s Renovations coordinates with specialized technology installers when projects include these features, ensuring proper infrastructure gets installed during construction.

Contemporary Bathroom Transformations

The bathrooms in Troy’s older homes reflect outdated design preferences – small tiles, cultured marble, limited storage, insufficient lighting. Bathroom renovations transform these dated spaces into contemporary rooms featuring walk-in tile showers, freestanding tubs, floating vanities, heated floors, and sophisticated finishes that feel current without chasing trends that’ll date quickly.

Common improvements run $22,000 to $55,000 depending on bathroom size and how extensively layouts change. A master bathroom renovation on Tall Oaks Drive recently transformed a dated 1980s space into a spa-like retreat featuring a large tile shower with bench and multiple shower heads, freestanding soaking tub, heated marble floors, custom double vanity, and lighting that adjusts from bright task lighting to dim ambient glow. The $48,000 investment created a bathroom the homeowners actually want to use rather than merely tolerate.

Open Concept Remodeling

The ranch and colonial homes that fill many Troy neighborhoods featured compartmentalized layouts with distinct rooms for distinct purposes. Today’s families want connection and flow between kitchen, dining, and living spaces. Removing walls to create open concept layouts requires structural engineering when load-bearing walls need removal, but the transformation in how families use their homes justifies the disruption and investment.

Wright’s Renovations handles the engineering, obtains permits, installs proper support beams (often substantial steel beams in Troy’s larger homes), and makes transitions look intentional rather than like walls simply disappeared. A project on Barkridge Lane removed walls between kitchen, dining room, and family room to create a massive great room that flows naturally while maintaining defined zones for different activities.

Value in Troy’s Competitive Market

Troy’s strong real estate market rewards quality renovations. The community’s excellent schools, corporate employers, and diverse amenities attract buyers who notice updated finishes and modern features. Kitchen renovations particularly impact value and marketability, with contemporary kitchens commanding premium prices over dated spaces.

Wright’s Renovations provides transparent pricing appropriate for Troy’s market. Most kitchen renovations run $65,000 to $110,000. Bathrooms range from $22,000 to $55,000. Basement finishing with quality features typically falls between $50,000 to $95,000. Larger projects like master suite additions or whole-home renovations receive detailed proposals outlining every element and investment level.
