Kitchen Remodeling in Clarkson Valley, Missouri

Clarkson Valley homes and this kind of project

Because Clarkson Valley is made up of large traditional homes from the 1970s and 1980s, the first thing we check for a kitchen remodel here is which walls bear load, where plumbing and ducts run and how much room the electrical panel has left.

The housing stock here: large 1970s and 1980s traditional homes on lots of about an acre.

The oak-and-soffit kitchen of the boom years has good bones, so money goes to layout, cabinetry and surfaces.

What we find inside Clarkson Valley homes

Formal layouts with separate living, dining and family rooms, and kitchens sized for a different era. Owners ask us to combine spaces and raise the finish level throughout.

The kitchens of Clarkson Valley's building-boom years follow a formula: oak cabinets, a soffit, a peninsula or small island, and a desk by the phone jack. The plumbing and structure are usually fine, so budget goes into layout improvement, cabinetry and surfaces.

What is included

A full Clarkson Valley 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 Clarkson Valley, from Kehrs Mill Road estates to neighborhoods around Forest Hills Country Club.

What we watch for

In Clarkson Valley houses the wall between kitchen and dining room frequently carries second-floor joists or hides the main plumbing stack. We open a small inspection hole and check the basement framing below before we tell you what removing it will cost.

Site logistics matter: Clarkson Valley has lots of about an acre, so we agree with you where carpenters, a plumber, an electrician, cabinet installers, a countertop fabricator and a tile setter will park, store material and carry out debris.

Permits and approvals in Clarkson Valley

For a kitchen remodel at a Clarkson Valley address, the paperwork goes to Clarkson Valley plan review with St. Louis County permits. Expect rough framing, plumbing, gas, electrical and final inspections.

Being inside the house, this project is unlikely to need sign-off from city architectural expectations for a uniformly traditional community, but we confirm any rules on containers and work hours.

Schedule and getting to you

Most Clarkson Valley clients see six to ten weeks of construction for a kitchen remodel.

Clarkson Valley is I-64 to Clarkson Road, about thirty-five minutes from our Wentzville base. We plan crew days and deliveries around that drive so you get full working days on site.

What moves the price in Clarkson Valley

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

• Whether the layout stays or plumbing, gas and walls move.
• Cabinet construction and the number of drawer bases, pull-outs and tall units.
