Cabinets & Countertops in Des Peres, Missouri

Des Peres homes and this kind of project

Because Des Peres is made up of original ranches and the large new homes replacing them, the first thing we check for a cabinet and countertop replacement here is how level the floor is, what the soffits hide and where flooring stops under the old cabinets.

The housing stock here: a mix of mid-century ranches and large homes built since 2000.

Original site-built cabinets in mid-century homes come out in pieces and reveal unfinished walls behind.

What we find inside Des Peres homes

In original houses, whole-floor renovation is common. In new ones, work is personalization: built-ins, millwork and upgraded baths.

Mid-century kitchens in Des Peres are compact and walled off. In a ranch the fix is often straightforward, since interior partitions carry little load, and opening the kitchen to the living area transforms the house. Electrical service usually needs upgrading to support modern appliances.

What is included

Our Des Peres cabinet and countertop scope covers field measure, design, ordering, tear-out and disposal, wall repair, installation, digital templating, fabrication, sink and faucet hookup and backsplash. We coordinate the plumber and electrician so you are not making those calls.

We take on cabinet and countertop replacement work in and around neighborhoods off Manchester, Ballas and Dougherty Ferry roads.

What we watch for

In Des Peres homes with site-finished hardwood, the flooring often stops at the old cabinet toe kick. Change the footprint and you expose bare subfloor, so we flag that at design and plan the patch and refinish.

Working on lots where coverage limits are a real constraint, as we do in Des Peres, we plan access for cabinet installers, a fabricator, a plumber and an electrician before the first delivery arrives.

Permits and approvals in Des Peres

In Des Peres, a cabinet and countertop replacement is reviewed by the City of Des Peres. What follows is usually none unless circuits or plumbing move.

Being inside the house, this project is unlikely to need sign-off from lot-coverage and height limits, but we confirm any rules on containers and work hours.

Schedule and getting to you

On site, a cabinet and countertop replacement in Des Peres generally runs two to three weeks on site.

Des Peres sits toward the edge of our range: I-64 to I-270 south, about forty minutes. 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 Des Peres

We price cabinets & countertops in Des Peres from a site visit, not a square-foot figure. These are the items that change the number.

• Countertop material group, edge profile, cutouts and whether the backsplash is matching slab.
• Any flooring repair where the new footprint differs from the old.
