Kitchen Remodeling in Harvester, Missouri

Harvester homes and this kind of project

Because Harvester is made up of 1970s to 1990s ranches and two-stories, 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: 1970s to 1990s ranches and two-stories in established subdivisions, with some newer infill.

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

What we find inside Harvester homes

Closed kitchens with soffits, fluorescent box lighting and peninsula layouts are common. Removing soffits and opening a wall changes these homes a great deal.

The kitchens of Harvester'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 Harvester 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 Harvester, from neighborhoods along Harvester Road and Caulks Hill Road to the Highway 94 and Jungermann Road area.

What we watch for

In Harvester 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.

Harvester properties tend to be leafy, established subdivision lots, 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 Harvester

In Harvester, a kitchen remodel is reviewed by St. Charles County, because Harvester is unincorporated. What follows is rough framing, plumbing, gas, electrical and final inspections.

Interior work like this normally does not involve subdivision trustees in some neighborhoods, though dumpsters and working hours sometimes do, and we check.

Schedule and getting to you

On site, a kitchen remodel in Harvester generally runs six to ten weeks.

Harvester is a little under half an hour by I-70 or Highway 364 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 Harvester

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

• Cabinet construction and the number of drawer bases, pull-outs and tall units.
• Countertop square footage, material and the number of cutouts and seams.

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 Harvester page.
