Kitchen Remodeling in Troy, Missouri

Troy homes and this kind of project

Because Troy is made up of a historic center ringed by 1990s-and-later subdivisions, 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: a historic center, 1990s to current subdivisions, and rural property surrounding town.

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

What we find inside Troy homes

Builder-grade kitchens and baths from the early 2000s are due. Layouts are straightforward and respond well to new cabinetry, tops and flooring.

The kitchens of Troy'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

For Troy kitchens where the layout already works, we offer a lighter scope: new cabinetry or refaced boxes, tops, backsplash, lighting and paint on the existing footprint, finished in about half the time of a full gut.

We take on kitchen remodel work across Troy, from historic Main Street to subdivisions along Highway 47 and Highway 61.

What we watch for

In Troy 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 subdivision lots that often back to open fields, as we do in Troy, 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 Troy

For a kitchen remodel at a Troy address, the paperwork goes to the City of Troy or Lincoln County. Expect rough framing, plumbing, gas, electrical and final inspections.

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

Schedule and getting to you

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

Troy is straight north on Highway 61, a little over twenty 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 Troy

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

• Flooring, especially if hardwood in adjacent rooms needs to be laced in and refinished to match.
• Whether the layout stays or plumbing, gas and walls move.
