Kitchen Remodeling in Highland Heights & Greater Cleveland, OH
A kitchen remodel is the heart of your home — and TMAK Restoration’s signature service. From layout and custom cabinets to countertops and finishes, owner Mike McCandless and a crew that’s worked together for a decade handle every step with old-school craftsmanship and contemporary technique. Free in-home consultations, honest planning help, and quality you can see.
A Full Kitchen Remodel — Layout to Finish
A kitchen remodel is far more than new cabinet doors. TMAK Restoration handles the whole project: rethinking the layout so the room actually works, ordering and installing custom cabinets, setting new countertops, updating flooring, sinks, fixtures, and finishes — all planned around how you really cook and gather. As a design-build contractor, we help you plan and design first, then build it with a small, dedicated crew.
The process is straightforward: a free in-home consultation, real design and layout help, then a build handled by a tightly-knit crew that has worked together for more than ten years and brings over 20 years of combined remodeling experience. Homeowners like Theresa A. put it plainly — “the kitchen is like a dream come true.” Financing is available through HFS Financial.

Owner-Run Craftsmanship, Custom Cabinets, Honest Planning
A kitchen remodel is one of the biggest investments you’ll make in your home. Two things set a great remodel apart: the crew that builds it, and the planning that happens before a single cabinet is ordered.
A Crew That Has Worked Together for a Decade
TMAK Restoration is owner-run and hands-on. Mike McCandless built the company on referral and word-of-mouth work, and the same tightly-knit crew has stayed together for more than ten years — over 20 years of combined remodeling experience on every job. As one review put it, “This is old school attention to detail and work ethic using contemporary skills and techniques.”
That combination is exactly why homeowners across the Cleveland east side keep calling us back and referring their neighbors. Read more about our story and crew.
Custom Cabinets, New Countertops, Layout That Works
The layout and the cabinets make or break a kitchen. We help you plan the updated layout, choose and order the right cabinets, and set new countertops that fit both the room and the budget. Homeowner P.J. said it best: “Mike and Jim were a great help in planning the updated layout and ordering the cabinets. They went above and beyond.”
Whether it’s a small kitchen that needs every inch to count or a full open-concept redesign, the planning happens before anything is ordered — so what shows up is what you actually wanted.
Free in-home consultation, layout and design guidance, and cabinet ordering help — before the build ever starts. No guesswork, no surprises.

What Homeowners Ask Most
Most kitchen remodels run about three to four weeks from start to finish — one recent homeowner clocked her project at just about 3½ weeks. The exact timeline depends on the scope: a cabinet-and-countertop refresh moves faster than a full layout change with new flooring and fixtures. We give you a realistic schedule up front so you can plan around it.
Yes — that’s the design-build part. We start with a free in-home consultation, help you rethink the layout so the kitchen actually works, and walk you through choosing and ordering cabinets and countertops before anything is built. Homeowners consistently tell us the planning help was one of the best parts of working with us.
