Lighting & appliance upgrades

Alex Renovation provides lighting & appliance upgrades for Rochester and Monroe County homeowners as part of our kitchen updates services. We update Rochester kitchens with the work that makes the biggest difference: cabinet refacing and hardware, new countertops and backsplash, lighting, flooring, and fixture swaps. Targeted updates that modernize a kitchen without a full tear-out.

What to expect

How we deliver this scope

When this scope overlaps with cabinet installation & refinishing and countertop replacement, the estimate identifies which parts are included and who is responsible for each trade.

Permit, inspection, and manufacturer requirements depend on the accepted scope. Those requirements are identified before affected work begins.

  • Regulated plumbing, electrical, and HVAC portions are coordinated with qualified trade professionals when required.

Comprehensive Kitchen Design-Build Services

Your kitchen remodel starts with a collaborative design phase. We map appliance zones, storage requirements, and entertaining needs to create a layout that works for your family.

Once the plan is set, we coordinate cabinet production, specialty trades, and delivery dates so installation stays on schedule.

  • Cabinet refacing, replacement, or custom fabrication
  • Quartz, granite, butcher block, or solid-surface countertops
  • Statement backsplashes, hoods, and accent lighting
  • Pantry build-outs and organization systems

Solving Common Rochester Kitchen Challenges

Many Rochester kitchens feel dated or cramped. We modernize them with cabinet refacing, new countertops and backsplash, updated lighting, and fixture swaps — the changes that transform the space without moving walls.

We upgrade fixtures, add under-cabinet lighting, and update outlets and circuits to code as part of the refresh.

Common questions

Frequently asked questions

Can I live in my home during the kitchen remodel?
Most clients remain in their homes. We set up temporary cooking spaces, protect adjacent rooms, and keep the jobsite clean so disruption is minimized.
Do you help with appliance selection?
Yes. We provide appliance specification sheets, coordinate delivery, and rough-in locations so everything fits. If you already purchased appliances, we confirm dimensions before cabinet production.
How do you keep kitchen projects on schedule?
We finalize design decisions before ordering, stage materials locally, and create a line-by-line schedule so each trade knows when to arrive.
