Room conversion
I would like to thank Community Construction for the remodel job they did on my home. I recently expanded my family and needed to convert an extra living room into a bedroom. The gentleman, Nate, did a great job and communicated at every step. Thanks again for the great work in East Grand Rapids.

Where we work
Serving Grand Rapids from our Lansing headquarters
We work with homeowners in Grand Rapids, East Grand Rapids and the surrounding Kent County area, including Ada. For an East Grand Rapids home near Gaslight Village or Reeds Lake, tell us about your existing layout, access and the details you want to preserve.
We also discuss projects elsewhere in West Michigan. Send your city and project scope so we can confirm coverage and scheduling for your property.
How to get your project started
Describe the goal
Share your property location, photos and the improvements you want. Let us know which problems matter most and whether you have a budget or timing preference.
Define the work
Discuss existing conditions, design choices, materials and any required approvals. Your proposal should distinguish included work, allowances and optional upgrades.
Plan the next steps
Review communication, access, material decisions and expected milestones before work begins. Document changes to cost or scope as the project develops.
Local project planning
Grand Rapids and East Grand Rapids have different approval processes
Start with the municipality that governs your property. A Grand Rapids mailing address, nearby landmark or ZIP code alone does not establish which office reviews your project.
City of Grand Rapids
Review the city’s residential remodeling permit guidance when planning work. Exterior changes to a property in a local historic district or a designated landmark also require historic review; discuss the proposed materials and details before ordering.
Grand Rapids remodel and repair permits
Historic-property approval guidance
City of East Grand Rapids
East Grand Rapids reviews building permit applications for zoning and drainage before forwarding them to Cascade Township for building review and inspections. Check the city’s current requirements for your proposed work.
Requirements depend on the property and scope. Confirm the applicable approvals with the responsible municipality during planning.
Budget with a defined scope
What affects remodeling cost in Grand Rapids?
The most useful starting point is a property-specific estimate. A kitchen refresh, a structural layout change and a new addition involve different work, even when their finished photographs look similar.
For kitchens and bathrooms
- Layout: retaining existing locations or moving walls, plumbing and electrical work.
- Selections: cabinets, countertops, fixtures, tile and flooring.
- Existing conditions: repairs or updates identified during inspection or demolition.
For exteriors and additions
- Size and access: area, height, site access and staging needs.
- Preparation: removal, disposal, underlying repairs and structural work.
- Details and approvals: trim, flashing, connections, plans and applicable reviews.
Compare proposals using the same scope, materials and allowances. Consider comfort, maintenance and how long you expect to stay in the home alongside resale goals; a renovation does not guarantee a particular increase in property value.

Read the testimonial excerpt
Actually, I hurt myself 16 months ago on a construction project right here and have been unable to finish it up myself. And I called Community and they came out to give me an estimate, and the people at Community decided to go ahead and do this for me—from a company that didn't have to help me out at all. So when you need something done, and you want true, honest people that are local, call Community.

Answers before you begin
Grand Rapids remodeling questions
Do you serve Grand Rapids even though your headquarters is in Lansing?
Yes. Community Construction serves Grand Rapids, East Grand Rapids and the surrounding Kent County area from our Lansing headquarters. Share your property location and project type so we can discuss site visits, scope and scheduling.
What remodeling services do you offer in the Grand Rapids area?
Our services include kitchen and bathroom remodeling, siding installation, roof replacement, decks, replacement windows, home additions and new residential construction. Use the service links above to explore the work you are considering.
Can you help update an older East Grand Rapids home?
We can discuss changes to older homes, including room layouts, bathrooms and exterior improvements. Identify the features you want to retain, such as trim, window proportions or original materials. Any structural work and applicable historic review should be considered before finalizing the design.
How much will my remodeling project cost?
A useful estimate needs a defined scope. Room size, layout changes, material selections, existing conditions and required approvals all affect the price. Tell us your priorities and budget range so we can discuss options; a general cost table cannot establish the price for your property.
Who handles permits for Grand Rapids and East Grand Rapids projects?
Permit requirements depend on the property’s jurisdiction and the work. Grand Rapids and East Grand Rapids have separate processes; East Grand Rapids uses Cascade Township for building inspection services. We discuss the required permits, application responsibilities and inspections during project planning. See the official municipal resources above.
How long will the renovation take?
The schedule depends on scope, material availability, approvals, inspections and conditions uncovered during the work. Ask for an expected start window and project milestones in your proposal. Finalizing selections early helps the team plan the work; no single timeline fits every renovation.
Can I combine interior and exterior work in one project?
Yes, we can discuss a combined scope, such as a kitchen renovation with replacement windows or siding with roofing work. Identify the full list of improvements at the start so sequencing, access and budget can be considered together.
What should I send when requesting an estimate?
Send your city or neighborhood, the type of work, a short description of the problem or goal, and any useful photos. Include your budget range and preferred timing if known. You do not need a finished design to begin the conversation.
