Our shop at 1570 Edgewood Lane in Milford is only about 8.1 miles northwest of Wolverine Lake, roughly a 16-minute drive. That puts this little village comfortably within our regular service area.
For a community this compact, a nearby refinisher is a real advantage on a kitchen project. We can come measure and quote without a long wait, the crew arrives when promised, and getting back out to adjust a door or touch up a drawer front later is no trouble at all. Refinished cabinets are part of your daily routine, so having the people who did the work close by helps, and you won’t see an out-of-area trip charge in the quote.
Wolverine Lake has an unusual origin: the lake came first, and people built it. In the 1920s a local dentist and developer named Howard Stuart set out to create a single large lake for a lakeside community. Starting in 1919, crews used ten teams of horses to raise a 600-foot dam, flooding the marsh and joining six smaller lakes into the 265-acre all-sports lake you see today.
What started as a summer retreat for Detroiters became a permanent community. In the early 1940s, eight subdivision associations banded together to protect the lake, and in 1954 the village incorporated as its own municipality to keep from being annexed. It’s a small, tightly built place, packed into under two square miles with the lake making up a quarter of it, and home to roughly 4,300 people in the Walled Lake school district. The result is a dense ring of homes wrapped right around the shoreline.
Nearly every home in Wolverine Lake sits on or near the water, and that shapes its kitchens. A lot of these houses began as modest lake cottages that were expanded and winterized over the years, so their kitchens often carry cabinetry of different ages and styles. Refinishing is what pulls all of it together into one consistent, updated look, so the original boxes and the later additions finally match.
The older lake homes frequently have solid-wood cabinetry that’s worth keeping rather than replacing. Pulling those boxes out for new ones is costly and often a downgrade in material, so refinishing preserves the quality and simply brings the look up to date. On a smaller lakefront kitchen, that refresh makes a dramatic difference for far less than a remodel.
The newer and postwar homes around the lake tell the other half of the story, many with builder-grade oak and maple that’s aged into a dated look. Painting them in a current color modernizes the room without the cost or upheaval of tearing it out. Whatever era your kitchen is from, a sprayed and properly cured finish goes on smooth and even, without the brush marks of a rushed repaint, and it holds up to constant daily use.
In a village this size, word travels fast and a contractor’s name is only as good as the last job. We work around the lake often and plan to keep doing so, which is the best reason there is to do careful work. When the whole neighborhood can see the result, cutting corners never makes sense, and getting it right is what keeps our name in good standing here.
