Older kitchens in Dent.
Dent (ZIP 45247) is an unincorporated Green Township community on the west side that grew around an old crossroads, mixing older properties on irregular parcels with later subdivision housing.
Because the area filled in over a long period, the housing varies more than a platted neighborhood does. Older properties here may have been extended more than once, may have services that predate mains provision, and may have arrangements that were entirely normal when built. None of that is a problem; all of it is a reason the survey matters more than the postcode.
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.
Invest in your future in Dent
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 Dent: your questions
Why is the survey more important here?
Because the housing varies so much. Older properties may have been extended repeatedly and carry services predating mains provision.
Who governs the work?
Green Township and Hamilton County — it is unincorporated, so no city or village zoning applies.
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.
