This Eastgate homeowner wanted to expand their living space with a kitchen remodel, home addition, and outdoor porch. The goal was to open up the existing floor plan, create a larger kitchen for everyday living and entertaining, and extend their home’s functionality outdoors with a custom cedar porch. Grand Rapids Contracting delivered a complete transformation that blends beauty, comfort, and practicality.
The original kitchen was too confined and lacked modern flow. The family wanted:
• A kitchen remodel with more space, storage, and upgraded finishes.
• A home addition that added 10 feet to the interior, providing the open concept they envisioned.
• A 12’x22’ outdoor porch addition with a cedar covering for year-round use.
• Relocation of plumbing, HVAC, and electrical systems to accommodate the new design.
This project required extensive planning and expert coordination to achieve a seamless result.

• Services: Kitchen Remodel, Home Addition, Outdoor Porch Addition
• Scope: 10’ interior expansion, wall removal, system relocation, all new kitchen finishes, 12’x22’ covered cedar porch

• A spacious, updated kitchen designed for cooking and entertaining.
