Kitchen Remodeling in Westlake, OH
Westlake has a wide range of homes—classic colonials, 80s–2000s builds, and newer construction. Many kitchens were designed for a different era of appliances, entertaining, and storage. Small islands, awkward peninsulas, low-quality builder cabinets, and dated finishes can make even a well‑located home feel behind.
Moffie Build Group remodels Westlake kitchens to match how you live now—kids, commuting, hosting, working from home—and to match the level of the rest of your house. We focus on smarter layouts, better storage, and materials that feel right for your neighborhood and long-term plans.
Kitchen Remodeling Services in Westlake
Replacing dated builder cabinets, laminate counters, and busy tile with better layouts, upgraded cabinetry, and durable surfaces that feel appropriate for the home’s value.
Removing or widening walls to connect kitchen, dining, and family rooms; reworking peninsulas and islands; and improving flow between major living spaces.
Kitchens designed around real traffic: kids, homework, neighbors, holidays. Islands that actually work, seating that doesn’t block circulation, and storage where you need it.
For homes where the footprint works, we provide comprehensive refreshes—cabinets, counters, backsplash, appliances, lighting, and flooring—without major structural changes.
For households where the kitchen is central to entertaining, we refine zones for prep, serving, and cleanup, add better lighting, and create a look that feels more refined than the original builder design.
Design Notes for Westlake Kitchens
Westlake homes often have the square footage for a real island—but proportions still matter. We size islands for actual clearances, seating, and appliance doors, not just for maximum countertop.
We consider neighborhood norms and your home’s architecture so the kitchen feels like an upgrade that fits—neither underbuilt nor overdone.
We plan layered lighting—recessed, pendants, under‑cabinet, and accent—so a larger kitchen doesn’t have dark corners or harsh single-source light.
We recommend cabinet finishes, quartz, and flooring that handle daily use, pets, and frequent entertaining without constant touch-ups.
Planning Notes for Westlake Kitchens
Clarify Your Kitchen’s Main Job
Is it mostly family central, an entertaining hub, or a more refined “second‑act” kitchen? We’ll shape island design, pantry strategy, and appliance selection around that.
How Much Layout Change Do You Really Need?
Not every Westlake kitchen requires moving walls. We’ll show you the difference between a within‑footprint redesign and a reconfiguration with wall changes, including cost and impact.
Appliance Package & Venting
Many Westlake homes can support upgraded ranges, ventilation, and built-in refrigeration—but panel capacity, ducting routes, and clearances still matter. We plan infrastructure early so choices line up with reality.
Pantry & Storage Strategy
We consider where bulk storage goes (walk‑in pantry, cabinet pantry, or both), plus day‑to‑day items, small appliances, and kid-oriented storage so counters stay uncluttered.
Tying the Kitchen to Adjacent Spaces
Open main levels are common in Westlake. We look at flooring transitions, ceiling treatments, and lighting so the kitchen, dining, and family rooms work visually and functionally as one.

Our Kitchen Remodeling Process
We walk your Westlake home, understand how the kitchen works now, and identify what’s driving you to change it.
We outline within‑footprint vs. layout‑change vs. addition/expansion options, tied to realistic budget ranges.
We finalize layout, cabinetry, counters, backsplash, appliances, lighting, and flooring, with proportions and style tuned to your home and neighborhood.
We handle permits with the City of Westlake and coordinate any needed structural engineering for wall removals or major changes.
We protect adjacent areas, complete demo and rough‑ins, install cabinets and finishes, and keep you updated with clear timelines and next steps.
We walk the new kitchen with you, list and complete any touch-ups, and make sure everything functions as intended.

Westlake Kitchen Remodeling FAQs
Can you open our Westlake kitchen to the family room?
Often, yes. Many Westlake layouts were built with partial separations that can be widened or removed. We’ll evaluate structure, mechanicals, and how the change affects circulation and noise—and explain cost and impact.
Is it worth moving our pantry or changing the island?
In many Westlake homes, pantry and island changes dramatically improve use of the space. We’ll show you layout options and how they affect storage, seating, and sightlines.
Can you work with our existing hardwood floors?
Sometimes. If you have site-finished hardwood running through adjacent spaces, we may be able to weave in and refinish. If existing floors are engineered or in poor condition, we’ll walk through options and cost implications.
Do we need all-new appliances to remodel the kitchen?
Not necessarily. We can design around existing appliances if they’re relatively new. If a meaningful layout or performance upgrade depends on a different appliance package, we’ll be upfront about that.
How long does a Westlake kitchen remodel usually take?
Most full remodels run about 8–12 weeks from demo to final walkthrough, depending on complexity and product lead times. Larger or more complex projects can run longer. We’ll provide a project-specific schedule before we start.
Can you coordinate with our designer or architect?
Yes. We often work as the build partner for designers and architects. If you don’t have one, we can guide layout and selections or connect you with design partners familiar with Westlake homes.
