Kitchen Remodeling in Town and Country, Missouri

Town and Country homes and this kind of project

A kitchen remodel in Town and Country means working in estate homes ranging from mid-century ranches to new custom builds, 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: estate homes from mid-century ranches to new custom construction on lots of an acre or more.

In large homes the kitchen project often includes a scullery, professional appliances and make-up air for the hood.

What we find inside Town and Country homes

High-end kitchens, primary suites and full-house millwork packages. Older houses that have been added onto over the decades need systems evaluation, since wiring and ductwork can be a patchwork.

Kitchens in Town and Country'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

A full Town and Country 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 in and around estates along Mason, Clayton and Conway roads.

What we watch for

In Town and Country 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.

Working on acre-plus lots with protected trees, as we do in Town and Country, we plan access for carpenters, a plumber, an electrician, cabinet installers, a countertop fabricator and a tile setter before the first delivery arrives.

Permits and approvals in Town and Country

In Town and Country, a kitchen remodel is reviewed by the City of Town and Country, with permits coordinated through St. Louis County. What follows is rough framing, plumbing, gas, electrical and final inspections.

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

Schedule and getting to you

Most Town and Country clients see six to ten weeks of construction for a kitchen remodel.

Town and Country is straight down I-64 to the I-270 area, 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 Town and Country

We price kitchen remodeling in Town and Country 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.

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 Town and Country page.
