"It's never been a pleasant experience for me until now..."

Rachel Patch

"Loved working with this team- they created a finished basement for us complete with kitchen and bathroom. It’s amazing to have another livable area in our house. They were fast, professional and everything came out perfect."

After 28 years, we've learned something: The best kitchens aren't built from Pinterest boards. They're built from real conversations.

Why Homeowners Choose MJR

We do things differently. Here’s how.

DIFFERENTIATOR 1:

We Start with Listening

Before we talk about tile or cabinets, we talk about your life. What’s working? What isn’t? What would “home” feel like if it actually reflected who you are today?

Most contractors show up with a tape measure and a catalog. We show up with questions and genuine curiosity. Because the best designs don’t come from trends—they come from understanding how you actually live.

Everything you need to know before we start.
How much does a kitchen remodel cost in the Lake Lanier area?

Most kitchen remodels range from $40,000 to $150,000+ depending on size, materials, and scope. Bathroom remodels typically range from $15,000 to $60,000+.

The honest answer: It depends. Square footage, material choices, structural changes, and appliances all affect cost. We’ll provide a detailed, itemized estimate after your free consultation so you know exactly what you’re investing in.

  • Kitchens: 8-12 weeks from demo to completion
  • Bathrooms: 4-6 weeks
  • Whole home: 3-6 months
