Older kitchens in Burlington.
Burlington (ZIP 41005) is an unincorporated Boone County community at the administrative centre of the county, with a historic core and considerable newer development around it.
The older housing is concentrated in and around that core and is genuine period stock — plaster, original detail where it survives, and small kitchens built as work rooms. Away from the core the housing is much newer and the work correspondingly simpler. Boone County governs the permit, and being at the administrative centre tends to make that a direct process.
A kitchen built for a very different way of living needs more than new cabinets. We bring older Cincinnati homes into the present without erasing the character that made you love the house.

Modern function without erasing the house.
An older home’s kitchen is usually its most compromised room and its most characterful one at the same time. The work is making it genuinely functional — storage, worktop, light, circulation — without stripping out what made the house worth buying.
That balance is the whole job, and it is why these kitchens take more planning than a new-build. It is also why they are worth more when they are done.
The aim is a kitchen that works like it was built this decade and looks like it always belonged. That takes more thought, and it is the part we enjoy most.

Good questions
Kitchen Remodels for Older Homes in Burlington: your questions
Where is the period housing?
In and around the historic core. Away from it the stock is much newer, which is a simpler and more predictable project.
Who issues the permit?
Boone County. Being at the county’s administrative centre generally makes that a fairly direct process.
How much does it cost to remodel a kitchen in an older Cincinnati home?
Most projects we take on fall between $40,000 and $95,000. The wider range vs. a newer home reflects what we usually find behind the walls — electrical, plumbing and minor structural work that almost always needs updating.
How long will my kitchen be out of service?
Plan on 6–10 weeks on-site once demo begins, plus 4–6 weeks of design and material lead time before we start. We stage everything in advance so the days the room is unusable are as few as possible.
Do I always need to upgrade my electrical panel?
Not always — but if your panel is 100A or smaller, or still has fuses, we'll typically recommend an upgrade so the new kitchen circuits have room to live. We'll tell you straight after the walk-through.
Can I keep my original hardwood floors and trim?
Almost always yes. Original oak floors usually refinish beautifully, and period trim and built-ins can be carefully removed, stored, and reinstalled. That kind of detail is what makes an older kitchen feel like it belongs in the house.
Do you pull the permits?
Yes. We pull every required Cincinnati and Hamilton County permit and meet the inspectors on-site. You don't deal with the building department at all.
