Quality renovations for metro Grand Rapids' second-largest city and its diverse neighborhoods
Wyoming Remodeling
Smart Remodeling for a City on the Rise
Wyoming is the second-largest city in the Grand Rapids metropolitan area, home to more than 75,000 residents who enjoy an unbeatable combination of affordability, location, and community diversity. Stretching south and west of downtown Grand Rapids, Wyoming offers convenient access to the 28th Street commercial corridor, US-131, and I-196 while maintaining the neighborhood character that makes it feel like home. For homeowners looking to invest in their property, Wyoming presents one of the strongest remodeling value propositions in West Michigan. Median home prices remain well below the metro average, which means every dollar you put into a renovation goes further and delivers a higher return when it comes time to sell.
At Thornapple Construction, we have been helping Wyoming homeowners transform their properties since 2018. Founded by Nate Fugitt and Austin Galloway, our company was built on the principle that every homeowner deserves an exceptional remodeling experience regardless of their home's price point. That means the same fixed-price contracts, real-time project tracking, and 2-year workmanship warranty that we provide to every client across the Grand Rapids area. Our complimentary 2-3 hour in-home consultation includes real-time 3D design sketches, honest budget guidance, and a clear understanding of what your renovation will involve before any commitment is made.
Wyoming's housing stock tells the story of the city's steady growth over the past seven decades. The neighborhoods south of 28th Street feature block after block of well-built mid-century ranches and split-level homes from the 1950s and 1960s, many sitting on generous lots with established trees and detached garages. These homes were constructed with solid bones, good mechanical systems for their era, and floor plans that reflected how families lived half a century ago. Today, those same floor plans often feel cramped and closed off. Galley kitchens that once seemed adequate no longer serve families who gather around the island. Small bathrooms with dated tile and fixtures need a complete refresh. And living rooms separated from dining rooms by unnecessary walls are ready to become the open, connected spaces that modern life demands.

The economics of remodeling in Wyoming are compelling. With home values continuing to appreciate and new construction prices climbing out of reach for many buyers, Wyoming homeowners are discovering that renovating their current property is the smartest financial move they can make. A well-executed kitchen remodel or whole-home renovation in Wyoming can transform a dated property into a home that competes with new construction at a fraction of the cost. And because Wyoming sits at the center of the metro area with easy access to employers, shopping, and entertainment along the 28th Street corridor, the location value is already built in. You are not paying a premium for the address, which means more of your budget goes directly into the quality of the renovation itself.
Wyoming Public Schools serves the majority of the city and continues to invest in its facilities and programs, making the community attractive to families at every stage. Whether you purchased your Wyoming home as a starter and have outgrown it, or you have lived in the same neighborhood for decades and want to finally create the kitchen or bathroom you have always wanted, Thornapple Construction brings the design expertise and construction quality to make it happen. We understand that remodeling a mid-century ranch requires different strategies than renovating a newer colonial, and our experience across Wyoming's diverse housing types means we know how to maximize the potential of your specific home.
What sets Thornapple Construction apart for Wyoming homeowners is our commitment to Protective Service. We treat your home with the same care you do. Our crews use dedicated entry points, interior protection systems, and daily cleanup protocols that keep disruption to a minimum. We know that you and your family are living in your home during most renovations, and we make it our business to respect that reality. From the first day of demolition to the final walkthrough, your experience matters as much as the finished product.

Wyoming 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.
Yes. A large portion of Wyoming's housing stock consists of mid-century ranches and split-levels built in the 1950s through 1970s. We have extensive experience working with these home styles, including opening up closed floor plans, updating galley kitchens into open-concept layouts, and modernizing bathrooms while addressing the unique structural considerations that come with older construction. We understand the bones of these homes and know how to bring them into the modern era.
A typical home remodel in Wyoming takes 3 to 6 months depending on the scope of work. Kitchen remodels generally run 8 to 14 weeks, while full home renovations can extend to 6 months or more. We provide a detailed timeline during our initial consultation and keep you informed through our project management portal every step of the way.
For many Wyoming homeowners, remodeling delivers significantly more value than purchasing new. Wyoming's established neighborhoods offer mature trees, larger lots, and proximity to the 28th Street corridor and major employers that newer developments farther from the city center cannot match. A well-executed remodel lets you keep your location advantages while creating a home that functions and feels brand new. Our team can help you evaluate whether renovation or relocation makes more financial sense for your situation.
