Howard Emmer has spent over 30 years remodeling Metro Detroit bathrooms and kitchens and installing frameless glass shower doors. You meet with Howard himself, and every project carries a 2-year workmanship warranty.
Specialty Kitchens and Baths, LLC handles bathroom remodeling in Warren, MI and across Oakland, Macomb and western Wayne County. Many homeowners know the company by its other name, Designs in Glass, because owner Howard Emmer built his reputation on frameless and euro glass shower doors.
The company does far more than glass. Howard's crews tear out and rebuild whole bathrooms and kitchens, then finish them with custom cabinets, granite or quartz counters, tile and lighting.
Almost everything is custom built for your space, and you get one-on-one service from Howard from the first visit to the final install. Reviewers say the crew treats your home like their own.
Major and minor bathroom renovations, from a new shower to a full remodel down to the studs. Work covers custom bathroom design, vanities and cabinets, countertops, custom tubs, glass shower doors, tile and lighting, all built to fit your space.
The Designs in Glass specialty: frameless and seamless glass doors, euro shower doors, corner stalls, walk-in showers and sliding doors, with custom glass, metal and hardware choices. Howard can upgrade an existing shower or pair new glass with fresh tile.
Complete kitchen renovations and makeovers, including kitchen design, cabinets, islands and bars, countertops, flooring, backsplash and lighting. Howard's team can also help you pick hardware, sinks and faucets. Gallery projects include kitchens in Novi, Troy, Farmington Hills, Birmingham and Bloomfield.
Granite, quartz and butcher block counters for kitchens, baths, islands, bars and seating nooks, plus kitchen, bath and pantry cabinets, new doors and refinishing. Howard explains the trade-offs of each material before anything is cut or installed.
Ceramic and granite tile, wood flooring and custom backsplashes, plus recessed, track, ceiling and fixture lighting. These can finish a full remodel or stand alone as a quicker upgrade, and floors are covered by the same 2-year workmanship warranty.
Owner Howard Emmer gives one-on-one service on every project. Google reviewers mention Howard by name, saying he assessed the job, listened to what they asked for and was very accommodating on a tight timeline.
Because the company also runs Designs in Glass, frameless shower doors and enclosures are done by people who install them all the time. Reviewers single out custom shower doors more than any other feature.
Every remodeling and renovation project comes with a two-year workmanship warranty, so your new bathroom, kitchen or floor is covered well after installation day.
Over 30 years in business with an A+ BBB rating. One reviewer's family hired the company for one project and came back for several more, and the owner says many referrals come from neighbors.
Howard Emmer owns Specialty Kitchens and Baths, LLC and Designs in Glass, and he has worked in kitchen and bathroom remodeling for over 30 years.

Transforming parts of their home into beautifully remodeled areas is something that changes lives, and I am glad to be a part of that."
