Thoughtful renovations for Cascade Township's established neighborhoods
Cascade Township Remodeling
Investing in Your Cascade Home Makes Sense
Cascade Township occupies a sweet spot in the Grand Rapids metro that few communities can claim. Close enough to downtown for an easy commute, yet far enough to enjoy tree-lined streets, park access, and a genuine neighborhood feel, Cascade has attracted families and professionals who value both convenience and quality of life. The township's parks, trails, and community spaces create an environment where homeowners put down deep roots, and that long-term commitment naturally leads to the desire to make their homes exactly what they need.
Thornapple Construction has been remodeling Cascade homes since our founding in 2018 by Nate Fugitt and Austin Galloway. We built our company on the belief that the remodeling experience matters as much as the finished product. For Cascade homeowners, that means starting every project with a free 2-3 hour in-home consultation where we walk through your space, listen to how you use it, and begin sketching design possibilities using our in-house 3D modeling tools. You see potential solutions in real time, not weeks later in a follow-up meeting. That immediacy builds confidence and helps us understand your vision before any contract is signed.
Cascade's housing stock tells the story of the community's growth over the past several decades. You will find well-built mid-century ranches and split-levels from the 1960s and 1970s, traditional colonials and Cape Cods from the 1980s and 1990s, and contemporary builds from more recent development. Each era brought its own design sensibilities and construction standards, and each presents unique opportunities for renovation. The mid-century homes often have desirable features like generous lot sizes, mature landscaping, and solid construction but need updated kitchens, bathrooms, and open-concept living spaces. The 1980s and 1990s builds typically have good square footage but dated finishes that no longer reflect how families live today.
The Remodeling Services Cascade Families Request Most
Bathroom and kitchen remodels consistently rank as the most popular projects among Cascade homeowners. Bathrooms in older Cascade homes are often undersized by today's standards, with cramped layouts, outdated tile, and inefficient fixtures. Our team transforms these spaces into rooms that feel both luxurious and practical. Walk-in showers with frameless glass, heated tile floors, double vanities with ample storage, and lighting that makes the space feel twice its actual size are among the most common requests we fulfill.
Kitchen remodeling in Cascade follows a different pattern than what we see in some neighboring communities. Rather than starting from a completely blank slate, many Cascade homeowners want to preserve the footprint and flow that works while dramatically upgrading finishes, appliances, and storage. Custom cabinetry that makes better use of existing space, durable quartz or natural stone countertops, and thoughtful lighting designs are hallmarks of a Cascade kitchen remodel. For families who entertain regularly, we often incorporate larger islands with seating, dedicated beverage areas, and improved sight lines to adjacent living spaces.
Beyond kitchens and bathrooms, Cascade homeowners frequently invest in basement finishing and full home remodels. Many Cascade homes sit on partially finished or unfinished lower levels that represent thousands of square feet of untapped potential. Converting that space into a family recreation room, home theater, guest suite, or combination of uses adds tremendous value both in daily enjoyment and long-term investment. Full home remodels allow Cascade families to reimagine their entire living experience, addressing flow issues, outdated materials, and functional gaps all at once rather than tackling rooms one at a time over years.
Every Cascade project we undertake is backed by our fixed-price contract guarantee. When we present your proposal, the number on that contract is the number you will pay. There are no surprise change orders, no escalating material costs passed along mid-project, and no ambiguity about what is included. We pair that financial certainty with our project portal, which gives you 24/7 visibility into scheduling, progress photos, selections, and communication. For Cascade homeowners who value being informed and in control, this transparency changes the entire remodeling experience.

Cascade Home Remodeling FAQ
Kitchen remodel pricing depends on scope — cabinetry, countertops, appliances, layout changes, plumbing, and electrical work all factor in. Thornapple Construction provides a fixed-price contract after our in-home design consultation so you know the exact cost before work begins.
Many Cascade homes from the 1960s and 1970s have great bones and appealing mid-century architectural features. Our design team uses in-house 3D modeling to show you how modern updates can complement rather than erase your home's character. We often retain distinctive elements like vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, and unique floor plans while updating kitchens, bathrooms, and living spaces to current standards of comfort and function.
