Cabinets & Countertops in Frontenac, Missouri

Builder-grade oak or thermofoil cabinets are still in a great many Frontenac kitchens, and most have reached the age where hinges sag and finishes peel. We replace cabinetry and countertops on the existing footprint, which gets you a new kitchen without moving plumbing or living through a full gut.

Frontenac homes and this kind of project

Because Frontenac is made up of estate homes from mid-century to new, 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: estate homes on lots of an acre or more, from mid-century to new.

Custom inset cabinetry and slab-selected stone are the norm in larger homes.

What we find inside Frontenac homes

Custom cabinetry, stone and extensive trim work. Older homes often need mechanical and electrical modernization behind the finishes.

Kitchens in Frontenac's estate homes are central to entertaining. Projects involve custom cabinetry, professional-style appliances with correctly sized ventilation and make-up air, sculleries or butler's pantries and stone selected slab by slab.

What is included

Our Frontenac 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 estates off Clayton, Geyer and Spoede roads.

What we watch for

In Frontenac 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.

Site logistics matter: Frontenac has acre-plus sites, so we agree with you where cabinet installers, a fabricator, a plumber and an electrician will park, store material and carry out debris.

Permits and approvals in Frontenac

For a cabinet and countertop replacement at a Frontenac address, the paperwork goes to the City of Frontenac. Expect usually none unless circuits or plumbing move.

Being inside the house, this project is unlikely to need sign-off from the city's architectural review, but we confirm any rules on containers and work hours.

Schedule and getting to you

Most Frontenac clients see two to three weeks on site of construction for a cabinet and countertop replacement.

Frontenac sits toward the edge of our range: down I-64 to Lindbergh, around 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 our cabinets & countertops looks like

Photographs from jobs we have built. We do not label photographs by town, so these may or may not be near Frontenac; they are here so you can judge the standard of finish before we meet.

What moves the price in Frontenac

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

  • Cabinet grade and the count of drawer bases, tall pantries and interior accessories.
  • Painted finishes cost more than stained in most lines.

More detail

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

Cabinets & Countertops in Frontenac: common questions

How long does a cabinet and countertop replacement take in Frontenac?

Lead time is the long part: four to twelve weeks for cabinets depending on the line. For Frontenac we group trade visits to keep that schedule tight despite the drive.

Who will be working in my Frontenac home during a cabinet and countertop replacement?

Cabinet installers, a fabricator, a plumber and an electrician, scheduled and supervised by one Henry Hill project lead who is your single point of contact. Licensed trades are used wherever the City of Frontenac requires them.

Can I keep my countertops and replace only the cabinets?

Rarely. Stone tops are glued down and usually crack on removal, and new boxes seldom match the old footprint exactly. Going the other way, new tops on sound existing cabinets, works fine.
