5 Things Every Detroit Homeowner Should Verify

Most contractor problems are preventable. These checks take under an hour and catch the most common hiring mistakes.

  1. Ask for their MI contractor license number, then verify it yourself at the state licensing website before signing anything.

  2. Request a certificate of insurance. Call the carrier directly to confirm general liability and workers' comp are active.

  3. Get at least three written bids. Any quote more than 30% below average is a red flag, not a deal.

  4. Ask specifically about permit requirements for kitchen remodel. A contractor who says "no permit needed" for structural work is a liability.

  5. Read recent Google and BBB reviews for complaint patterns, not just star averages. One-star reviews reveal how disputes get resolved.

AboveBoardPros handles checks 1 and 2 for you.

Every contractor on this page has been checked against the MI state contractor database, with insurance verified via certificate of insurance where shown. You negotiate the contract, but you start from a verified shortlist.

Kitchen Remodel in Detroit: Frequently Asked Questions

How much does kitchen remodel cost in Detroit?

In Detroit, kitchen remodel typically ranges from $15,000 to $75,000. Getting three written bids from licensed contractors is the most reliable way to calibrate your specific project.

How long does kitchen remodel typically take?

Timeline depends on project scope. Ask for a written schedule before work begins, and specifically ask about material lead times and permit inspection windows: these cause most delays.

Do I need a permit for kitchen remodel in Detroit?

Kitchen remodels involving electrical upgrades, plumbing relocation, or structural changes require a permit. Minor work — cabinet refacing, countertop replacement, appliance swaps — generally does not. A licensed contractor will determine which permits apply and pull them on your behalf.

Are kitchen contractors in Detroit required to be licensed?

Yes. Detroit enforces active licensure and insurance. Ask any contractor for their license number and verify it at the MI state licensing website before signing a contract.

How do I verify a Kitchen Remodel contractor's license in Michigan?

In Michigan, contractor licensing is tracked by the Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs (LARA). To file a complaint or check for consumer alerts, use the Michigan Attorney General's consumer complaint page at https://www.michigan.gov/ag/complaints. AboveBoardPros runs this same check before listing a contractor, then reviews it on an ongoing basis.

How does AboveBoardPros select kitchen contractors?

Four-point check: active registration confirmed against the MI contractor registry, corporate standing reviewed, insurance validated, business reputation analyzed. We reject roughly 40% of applicants and monitor every listed contractor continuously. Credentials that lapse mean removal.
