Kitchen Remodeling in Augusta, Missouri

Augusta homes and this kind of project

A kitchen remodel in Augusta means working in nineteenth-century houses in town and custom homes among the vineyards, so on our first visit we look at which walls bear load, where plumbing and ducts run and how much room the electrical panel has left.

The housing stock here: nineteenth-century brick and frame houses in town, farmhouses, and custom rural homes.

In an old house the kitchen has to borrow space from a pantry or porch, and new wiring and plumbing are threaded through plaster walls.

What we find inside Augusta homes

Old houses call for careful work around plaster, original floors and trim. We upgrade wiring, plumbing and insulation while keeping what makes the house worth owning.

Kitchens in the older houses of Augusta were service rooms at the back. Bringing one up to date means finding space, often from a pantry, porch or adjacent room, and threading new wiring, plumbing and ventilation through plaster and balloon framing without wrecking the trim and floors that give the house its value.

What is included

A full Augusta kitchen remodel with us includes design drawings, engineering if walls move, permits, demolition, framing, plumbing, gas, electrical, drywall, flooring, cabinet and countertop installation, tile, trim, paint and appliance hookup. You get a written schedule before we start.

We take on kitchen remodel work across Augusta, from the historic town center to vineyard and bluff properties along Highway 94.

What we watch for

Many Augusta kitchens were wired with two countertop circuits and little else. Modern kitchens want dedicated circuits for the microwave, dishwasher, disposal, fridge and often an induction range, so we check panel capacity on the first visit.

Augusta properties tend to be small town lots and secluded rural sites, and that affects how we stage materials, where carpenters, a plumber, an electrician, cabinet installers, a countertop fabricator and a tile setter park and how debris leaves the site.

Permits and approvals in Augusta

In Augusta, a kitchen remodel is reviewed by the Town of Augusta or St. Charles County. What follows is rough framing, plumbing, gas, electrical and final inspections.

Interior work like this normally does not involve the expectations that come with a historic town, though dumpsters and working hours sometimes do, and we check.

Schedule and getting to you

Plan on six to ten weeks of site work for a kitchen remodel in Augusta, once permits and materials are in hand.

Augusta sits toward the edge of our range: about forty minutes by way of Highway 94 through Defiance. We group trade visits and deliveries carefully for projects at that distance, and we take them on when the scope justifies a dedicated crew.

What moves the price in Augusta

We price kitchen remodeling in Augusta from a site visit, not a square-foot figure. These are the items that change the number.

• Flooring, especially if hardwood in adjacent rooms needs to be laced in and refinished to match.
• Whether the layout stays or plumbing, gas and walls move.

Our step-by-step method for this work, and the factors that move its price, are laid out on the main kitchen remodeling page. More about the area is on our Augusta page.
