Tony and Garret are exceptionally detail-oriented and professional. They handled enormous 48” x 24” tiles — difficult and heavy — and turned them into a stunning, cohesive design. They kept the job site immaculate, laying foam walkways through our home and vacuuming daily.
They finished on time and exactly on budget, which speaks volumes about their integrity and skill.The craftsmanship and care they bring to the job are outstanding. We’re already planning to hire them again for our powder room remodel. We highly recommend Angry Cat Contracting for any bathroom renovation.

The Challenge
The primary challenge was reimagining a dated, confined kitchen into an open, functional, and contemporary space.
To meet Fran’s aesthetic vision and elevate the layout, the kitchen needed significant updates. This transformation called for creative solutions to maximize space while maintaining high standards of style and quality.
The 3-Phase Process
Turning Frances Vision Into Reality
1.
DESIGN
Fran’s Dream Kitchen: A Collaborative Vision Brought to Life
Fran’s kitchen remodel began with a thoughtful design process, led by Project Manager Tony Prough and grounded in close collaboration.
Together, they transformed Fran’s vision into a space that seamlessly blends warmth, style, and everyday functionality.
-
Two-Toned Custom Cabinets
The kitchen features natural-finish base cabinets paired with classic white shaker-style uppers, creating a clean yet grounded look. Soft-close hardware adds a refined touch, while lower drawers maximize accessibility and storage. -
Quartz Countertops
Chosen for their sleek, polished appearance and low-maintenance surface, the quartz countertops complement the two-toned cabinetry and enhance the kitchen’s modern appeal. -
Layered Tile Backsplash
The backsplash is a true statement piece, combining classic white subway tile with blue accent tile, blue pencil trim, and handcrafted tiles from Pewabic Pottery in Detroit. This mix adds texture, color, and artistry, giving the kitchen a distinctive and personal feel. -
Custom Wainscoting
Thoughtfully designed wainscoting adds architectural interest and a tailored finish to the space. It ties in seamlessly with the cabinetry and elevates the room’s overall character. -
Stainless Steel Fixtures and Appliances
Durable and easy to maintain, the stainless steel elements complete the look with a cohesive, contemporary finish.
2.
BUILD
Tony Prough led the build phase with meticulous attention to detail.
From the pre-job walkthrough to daily site visits and progress logs, his thorough oversight ensured the project moved forward seamlessly—turning challenges into well-executed solutions.
3.
ENJOY
A Kitchen Worth the Wait
At the end of the remodel, Fran’s kitchen wasn’t just finished—it was transformed. So much so, she didn’t use it for a full week. She simply wanted to enjoy the space as it was—pristine, peaceful, and perfectly her.
That quiet pause spoke volumes. It wasn’t just about new cabinets or countertops—it was about creating a space that felt like home again. At Angry Cat Contracting, we aim for that kind of reaction: spaces so well-crafted, they invite you to stop, take it in, and love where you live.
THE SOLUTION
Fran’s kitchen transformation is a true reflection of innovation, craftsmanship, and client-focused design. What began as an outdated, confined space was completely reimagined into a bright, open-concept kitchen that not only met—but exceeded—her expectations.
This wasn’t just a renovation; it was a collaboration. By listening closely to Fran’s vision and understanding how she wanted to live in the space, the team delivered a kitchen that feels open, accessible, and effortlessly functional. The result is more than a visual upgrade—it’s a space built to support daily life with comfort and style.

What The Homeowner Had To Say About Working With Angry Cat
Angry Cat Construction is absolutely amazing! To say we were pleased with the outcome of our kitchen is putting it mildly. We were ecstatic! They took the imperfections of a 1941 bungalow kitchen to the studs and created an exquisite modern kitchen without any squeaks, misalignments or cracks to name a few.
Not only are Tony and Garrett men of honesty and integrity - they are both extremely creative. If you have a design question they are great at helping you think through it. Tony is amazing at his pre-design presentation and cost summary. Nothing was hidden or added on to the original w/o communication with us first. Tony and Garrett are both talented and men of their words. We could not have asked for a better construction company to work with. Definitely a 10 star performance!
