Serving Kermit and nearby WV communities
Kermit sits low on a narrow flat against the Tug Fork, and its kitchens are on the ground floor of houses that have taken water. Kitchen remodeling in Kermit starts with the floor, because that is the part nobody can fix once the cabinets are standing on it.

The kind of remodeling work we take on across Williamson and the surrounding West Virginia communities.

Had them out after the back steps started going soft underfoot. He came and looked properly before quoting anything, and told me the structure underneath was still sound — so it ended up a smaller job than I had braced myself for. Turned up when he said he would, cleaned up after himself, and the price at the end was the price we agreed. Not much more you can ask for.

Called on a Tuesday and had someone out the same week. What I appreciated most was being told straight what needed doing now and what could safely wait until spring. No pressure and no trying to talk me into the bigger version of the job. It has held up fine through the winter since.

The quote came through itemised and the final bill matched it, which has honestly not been my experience with everyone around here. They worked around an awkward driveway without once making it my problem, and left the place tidier than they found it. Would have them back.

The river has put water through this town repeatedly, and what it leaves is rot in the parts of a house nobody inspects — sill plates, the ends of floor joists where they bear, and the subfloor nearest them. It shows up long after the water has gone, which is why a kitchen floor that feels sound is not evidence of much.

What you get when Mackwood does your kitchen remodeling — and what we won't do.

From first call to finished work — no surprises in between.
Step 1
Call, text, or send a message with what you're looking to build or repair. No form to fill in and no call centre — it comes straight to us, and you'll get a real answer about whether it's something we do.
Step 2
A few photos are often enough to tell us what we're dealing with. Where it isn't — anything structural, anything hidden underneath — we'll come out and look properly before quoting rather than guessing from the kerb.
Step 3
You get a written quote that itemises the work, so you can see what you're paying for and what you aren't. If we think part of it isn't worth doing, we'll say so. No pressure and no surprises at the end.
Step 4
We turn up when we said we would, work clean, and haul the offcuts away with us. The job gets built to last in this climate — and we'll walk it with you before we call it finished.
We'll come and look, then tell you straight — including if it isn't worth doing.
Straight answers to what we get asked most.
Because in a house that has taken water, rot at the sill and joist ends is common and invisible from above. Finding it with the floor open is a repair. Finding it after the cabinets and counter are in means taking them back out.
Often. It is usually a bearing wall, so it needs a header and posts, and in this town we check what those posts will stand on before sizing anything. Where the structure below is sound, it is a very worthwhile change in a small house.
In a container if one can sit, and in loads if it cannot, which is common on these lots. Either way it is priced in. Taking out a kitchen produces more waste than people expect.
Yes, about thirty minutes from Williamson on US-52. West Virginia side only — that is licensing rather than distance.
No. We stay on the West Virginia side — that's a licensing matter, not a distance one. Kermit itself is well inside the area we cover.
Yes. Flood damage in framing is biological, not immediate — the wetting starts rot that works through joist ends and post bottoms over years. The floor above it can feel solid the whole time.
No, it's normal in town here. It affects staging and carry time, which we allow for in the quote.

The full picture
Most people are buying a result, not a list of tasks. Pick a topic to see what we look at before quoting in Kermit.
On most jobs a problem found later is an inconvenience. In a kitchen it is expensive, because by then a run of base cabinets, a counter and a sink are sitting on it, and fixing the floor means taking all of them back out. So the old flooring comes up and the floor gets checked before anything new is ordered.
Where the damage is tired subfloor, it gets replaced and levelled as part of the kitchen. Where it reaches the joists or the sill, that is structural work, and we will price it separately and say so before the cabinets are anywhere near the house.
There is not much room between houses here and not much room behind them, so a bigger kitchen almost never means building out the back. The space has to come from inside — the wall to the next room, a doorway moved, or a back hall taken in.
That usually means a bearing wall, and in a house that has taken water the bottom of that wall is where to look first. A new header is only as good as what the posts under it stand on, so the sill and the joists below get checked before the opening is sized.
Where the height, the structure and the layout all work, opening a small Kermit kitchen into the room beside it changes how the whole ground floor lives.
Lots here sit close to the street with limited parking, so new cabinets get carried in from wherever the truck can stop, and there is often nowhere to leave a trailer. We bring them as the install needs them rather than filling a small house with boxes for a week.
The old kitchen has to go the other way. Cabinets, layers of old flooring and plaster make a large volume of debris, and where a container cannot sit, it comes out in loads with the time priced in rather than discovered.
Kermit is about thirty minutes from Williamson up US-52. We work the West Virginia side only, which is licensing rather than distance, and the town is comfortably inside our area.
Kermit is a small town on a narrow flat right against the Tug Fork, and the housing is packed onto what level ground there is — older wood-framed homes, close together, most on block or pier foundations with covered porches as standard. There is not much room between houses and not much room behind them, so additions here tend to go up or onto the porch rather than out the back.
The Tug Fork is the whole story in Kermit. The town sits low against the river and has taken water repeatedly, and what that leaves behind is rot in the parts of a house nobody inspects — sill plates, the ends of floor joists where they bear, post bottoms, and the base of exterior door frames. It shows up long after the water is gone, which is why a floor that feels sound is not evidence of much.
About thirty minutes from Williamson up US-52 along the river, and the drive itself is easy. Working in town is the tighter part: lots sit close to the street with limited parking, so material gets carried and there is often nowhere to leave a trailer. We plan the day around that rather than treating it as a surprise.
