What we do
Bath & kitchen refresh in Metro Detroit.
Mid-scope refreshes without GC markup. Tile, vanities, fixtures, and finish work. One crew, start to finish.
New room, half the timeline
A full-remodel look, without the full-remodel job.
A bath and kitchen refresh is a mid-scope remodel that updates the surfaces and fixtures of a room without moving walls or relocating plumbing. Instead of gutting the space to the studs, we swap the vanity or cabinets, set new countertops and tile, upgrade the fixtures and lighting, and finish with fresh trim and paint. For most Metro Detroit homes, that is the sweet spot: the room looks brand new, but the budget and the timeline stay grounded because the layout stays where it is.
Apex Construxive runs these refreshes with one owner-led crew, which is what keeps the price honest. There is no general contractor subbing out the tile to one guy, the plumbing to another, and the trim to a third, then stacking markup on all of it. The same team that demos the old vanity sets the new tile, hangs the lights, and closes the punch list. Luis is on site, the space gets cleaned at the end of every day, and you get a kitchen or bath that reads like a full remodel across the metro, from Detroit and Grosse Pointe to Birmingham, Royal Oak, and Troy, at a fraction of the timeline.

What a refresh covers
Mid-scope remodels without general-contractor markup. Tile, vanities, countertops, lighting, fixtures, and paint. One crew, start to finish, no chasing subs around the metro. We swap the pieces that date a room and tie them together with clean tile lines and tight trim, so a refreshed space looks like a full remodel at half the timeline.

Refresh questions
Bath & kitchen refreshes, answered.
What is a bath and kitchen refresh?
A refresh is a mid-scope remodel that updates the surfaces and fixtures of a room without moving walls or plumbing lines. Think new vanity, countertop, tile, lighting, and paint rather than a full gut. It gets you a space that looks brand new for far less than a ground-up remodel.
How is a refresh different from a full remodel?
A full remodel usually means relocating plumbing, moving walls, and reconfiguring the whole layout. A refresh keeps the footprint and swaps what you see and touch. Because the layout stays put, a refresh runs on a shorter timeline and a smaller budget while still transforming the room.
Why is there no general-contractor markup?
Do you handle both the tile and the fixtures?
Yes. The same crew sets the tile, hangs the vanity, swaps the fixtures and lighting, and finishes the trim and paint. One team from demo to punch list means the tile lines, the trim, and the fixtures all get coordinated instead of handed off between subs.
