Kitchen Remodeling in Strongsville, OH
In Strongsville, the kitchen does a lot of jobs: weekday breakfast station, homework hub, game day spread, and holiday command center. Many homes—especially 80s, 90s, and early-2000s builds—still have closed-off kitchens, limited storage, and finishes that have simply aged out.
Moffie Build Group remodels Strongsville kitchens to feel open, brighter, and easier to live in every day. We focus on better layouts, serious storage, and durable materials that can handle kids, pets, and real cooking without feeling “builder basic.”
Kitchen Remodeling Services in Strongsville
Removing walls between the kitchen, dining, and family rooms in traditional colonials to create a more connected, modern main floor—with proper structural support and mechanical rerouting.
Large islands with seating, dedicated prep zones, and integrated trash/recycling so the kitchen can comfortably host both daily family life and larger gatherings.
Walk-in or cabinet pantries, tall storage for small appliances, and deep drawers for pots and pans—designed so counters stay clear and everything has a place.
For Strongsville homes with decent layouts but tired finishes, we offer full refreshes: new cabinets or refacing, countertops, backsplash, lighting, and hardware while keeping plumbing in roughly the same locations.
Thoughtful appliance placement, real ventilation, more counter landing space, and durable, heat-resistant surfaces for people who cook more than they order in.
Design Notes for Strongsville Kitchens
A lot of Strongsville colonials were framed with key load-bearing walls between kitchen and family room. We coordinate structural engineering, beams, and posts so the space opens up safely and cleanly.
We plan storage around how you actually live: where backpacks and mail land, how often you use small appliances, and who is in the kitchen at the same time. The goal is clear counters and easy cleanup, not just pretty cabinets.
We lean into layered lighting—recessed lights, pendants over the island, under-cabinet lighting, and sometimes added windows or a larger patio door—to avoid dark, cave-like kitchens in winter.
We typically recommend quartz over softer stones, high-quality cabinet finishes, and flooring that can take spills and foot traffic from kids, pets, and guests without falling apart.
Planning Notes for Strongsville Kitchens
Who Uses the Kitchen—and When?
We’ll ask about weekday mornings, sports nights, work-from-home patterns, and how many people cook at once. That drives decisions around island size, walkways, and where we place key appliances.
Decide on Appliance Package Early
In Strongsville, many clients upgrade to higher-end ranges, built-in refrigerators, or dual-oven setups. We like to lock these in early so cabinet design, power, gas, and ventilation are all coordinated.
Wall Removal vs. Budget
Opening up a wall is almost always worth considering, but it affects structure, HVAC, and electrical. We’ll talk through options—from wide cased openings to full removal—and give you the cost implications up front.
Think About Mudroom / Garage Entry
Because so many Strongsville homes enter from the garage through or near the kitchen, we’ll talk about whether we can carve out even a small drop zone or mudroom area, so the new kitchen doesn’t become the family dumping ground.
Plan for Realistic Timeline
We’ll be direct about how long you’ll be without a full kitchen, and we’ll help you plan a temporary setup (fridge, microwave, maybe a hot plate) in another part of the house.
Where We Work in Strongsville, OH
We remodel kitchens throughout Strongsville in both older neighborhoods and newer developments, including:
- 80s/90s colonials and splits off Royalton Road (SR‑82) and near I‑71
- Established neighborhoods near Strongsville High School, Pearl Road (SR‑42), and Prospect Road
- Homes near SouthPark Mall and surrounding subdivisions that need higher-end finishes than the original “spec” builds
- Newer developments and cul-de-sacs on the edges of the city where layouts are close but finishes need to be elevated
Most of the Strongsville kitchens we work in fall into one of three buckets:
- Original 80s/90s kitchens ready for a full rethink
- Early-2000s spaces with decent bones but generic finishes
- Newer builds where the layout is mostly fine but storage and details are lacking
We’re familiar with local inspectors, typical framing details, and what Strongsville buyers expect when it comes time to sell.
Our Kitchen Remodeling Process
We start by seeing how you use your Strongsville kitchen today—what works, what doesn’t, and what a “win” would look like.
We outline a realistic scope with a budget range and discuss structural changes (like wall removal) vs. “refresh” options.
We finalize the layout, cabinet design, counters, backsplash, lighting, flooring, and appliances. If you’re working with a designer, we coordinate closely with them.
We manage permits with the City of Strongsville and coordinate any needed structural engineering for wall removals or major changes.
We demo, rough-in mechanicals, install cabinets and finishes, and keep you updated with clear timelines and next steps. Dust control and daily cleanup are standard.
We walk the finished kitchen together, address any remaining items, and make sure you’re comfortable with every detail before we wrap up.

Strongsville Kitchen Remodeling FAQs
Can you remove the wall between our kitchen and family room?
Often, yes. Many Strongsville colonials were framed with a central load-bearing wall. We bring in a structural engineer when needed, size beams correctly, and coordinate inspections with the City of Strongsville. We’ll walk you through cost and design options before you commit.
How long will we be without a working kitchen?
Most full kitchen remodels run 8–12 weeks from demo to final walkthrough, depending on complexity and material lead times. You’ll have stretches without a stove or sink, but we’ll help you plan a temporary setup with your fridge and small appliances.
Do we have to upgrade our electrical panel?
Sometimes. Older Strongsville homes with original panels or heavily loaded circuits may need electrical upgrades when we add more lighting, outlets, or higher-draw appliances. We’ll have our electrician assess this during the planning phase and include it in the estimate if needed.
Quartz vs. granite—what’s better for a busy family?
For most Strongsville families, quartz is the better choice. It’s non-porous, consistent, and lower maintenance. Granite can work, but it typically needs more sealing and care, which many busy households don’t want to manage.
Can you work with our existing flooring on the rest of the main level?
Sometimes. If you have hardwood running through multiple rooms, we may be able to weave in new boards and refinish. With LVP or tile, matching can be trickier. We’ll look at where it makes sense to tie in vs. replace, and give you options.
