Full Kitchen Renovation
Down to the studs where the layout needs to change — new plumbing and electrical locations, new cabinetry, counters, tile and flooring.

Kitchen Remodeling
From a refresh that keeps your layout to a full gut that changes how the room works — planned properly, priced honestly, and finished on the schedule we gave you.

Most Kitchen Projects Fail On Sequence, Not Taste
Homeowners worry about picking the wrong finish. In practice, that is almost never what goes wrong. What goes wrong is sequence and lead time — cabinets ordered before the layout was final, countertops templated before the sink arrived, an electrical rough-in that fails inspection and stops the tile crew for a week.
A kitchen has more trades stacked into one room than any other renovation: demolition, framing, plumbing, electrical, drywall, cabinetry, counters, tile, flooring, paint. Each one waits on the last. One slipped order does not cost a day, it costs the gap until that trade can come back.
We build the schedule backwards from the longest lead item, order early, and hold your selections to real dates. That is the difference between a six-week kitchen and a five-month one.
How We Work On Kitchens
Cabinet Refacing & Refinishing
When the boxes are sound and the layout works, replacing doors, drawer fronts and hardware transforms the room for a fraction of a full replacement.
Counters & Backsplash
Quartz, granite and solid surface, templated after the cabinets are set — never before.
Islands & Layout Changes
Adding an island, removing a wall, or relocating the sink. Load-bearing walls get an engineered header, permitted properly.
Lighting & Electrical
Recessed lighting, under-cabinet task lighting, and the additional circuits a modern kitchen actually needs.
Flooring
Luxury vinyl plank, tile or hardwood, run correctly under or around the cabinet runs depending on the material.
What You Get From Us
- A fixed written scope — line by line, before demolition. Change orders happen, but they should be your choices, not surprises.
- A real schedule — built backwards from cabinet lead time, with your selection deadlines on it.
- One point of contact — you should not be coordinating your own plumber and tile setter.
- Permits pulled properly — layout changes and new circuits are inspected work. Unpermitted kitchen work shows up at resale.
Straight Answers
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a kitchen remodel take?
A refacing or cosmetic refresh is typically two to three weeks. A full gut with layout changes is more often six to ten weeks on site, plus lead time on cabinetry before we start. We give you the schedule in writing.
How much does a kitchen remodel cost in Cincinnati?
The range is genuinely wide — a refacing project and a full gut with moved plumbing are different orders of magnitude. We will walk your kitchen, talk through what you actually want to change, and give you a written number for free.
Can I stay in the house during the remodel?
Almost always yes. You will be without a working kitchen for most of it, so we help you set up a temporary space, and we dust-wall the opening to keep the rest of the house liveable.
Do I need a designer?
Not necessarily. For a refresh or a like-for-like layout we can handle selections with you directly. For a significant layout change, a designer earns their fee, and we work alongside one happily.
Do you handle permits?
Yes. Moving plumbing or electrical, and removing walls, are permitted and inspected work in every jurisdiction we serve. We pull them.
