Kitchen Remodeling Services in Birmingham, AL
Kitchen remodeling in Birmingham requires understanding local home styles, from established neighborhoods like Forest Park and Crestwood to newer developments in Greystone and Riverchase. All Purpose Restoration brings 15+ years of experience updating kitchens in mid-century brick colonials, ranch homes, and contemporary builds across the Birmingham metro. We source materials locally when possible, reducing lead times and supporting suppliers near I-459 and downtown Birmingham corridors. Every kitchen project includes structural assessment, plumbing/electrical code compliance, and finished installation of your chosen cabinetry, countertops, backsplash, and lighting.
Our kitchen remodeling process begins with in-home consultation where we measure your space, discuss your lifestyle needs, and present 2-3 design options with material samples. Within 5-7 business days, we finalize your timeline, secure any required permits with Jefferson County Building Department, and order cabinetry and countertops (typically 10-14 day lead time). Installation happens in phases: demolition and disposal (1 day), plumbing and electrical rough-in (1 day), cabinetry installation and countertop fabrication (1-2 days), and final fixtures, backsplash, and painting (1 day). You'll have a fully functional kitchen with clean-up included, plus a 2-year workmanship warranty on all labor.

Our Kitchen Remodeling Process
Design Consultation & Layout Planning
We visit your Birmingham-area home, measure kitchen dimensions, assess plumbing/electrical locations, and discuss your style preferences, budget, and must-haves. Within 3-5 days, you receive a detailed 3D rendering with cabinet options, countertop colors, and appliance placement. This phase typically takes 7-10 days from initial call to approved design.
Permits & Material Ordering
We file necessary remodeling permits with Jefferson County Building Department (if required) and place orders for cabinetry, countertops, appliances, and fixtures. Typical lead time is 10-14 days for custom cabinets and fabricated countertops. We keep you updated via email or phone on arrival dates.
Demolition & Structural Prep
Our crew removes existing cabinetry, countertops, backsplash, and fixtures in one day, hauls away debris to approved facilities, and prepares walls/floor for new installation. We protect adjacent rooms with plastic sheeting and address any hidden plumbing or framing issues discovered during demo.
Rough-In Work: Plumbing & Electrical
Licensed plumbers and electricians handle sink relocation, water line runs, drain repositioning, and new circuit installation for updated appliances. This phase takes 1 full day and includes inspection by Jefferson County inspectors if required.
Cabinet Installation & Countertop Placement
Custom cabinetry is installed level and secure to wall studs, with doors and drawer fronts aligned perfectly. Fabricated countertops (granite, quartz, or laminate) are cut to fit, sealed if needed, and set in place. This phase takes 1-2 days depending on complexity.
Final Finishes: Backsplash, Fixtures & Paint
Backsplash tile or glass is installed with professional grout application, new faucet and sink are plumbed and sealed, appliances are connected and tested, and walls are painted. Hardware is installed, caulking is applied to all wet zones, and a final walkthrough confirms quality. Total time: 1 day, with full clean-up included.
