Older kitchens in East Price Hill.
East Price Hill (ZIP 45205) sits on the hilltop above the basin, a dense grid of substantial late-1800s and early-1900s houses, many far larger than their kitchens suggest.
That mismatch is the defining problem here. These were houses with servants’ arrangements, so the kitchen was a small working room at the back, often with a pantry beside it and the dining room through a door. Getting a modern kitchen out of that usually means taking in the pantry or removing a wall — which turns immediately into the question of what that wall is holding up, and that gets answered structurally rather than optimistically.
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 East Price Hill
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 East Price Hill: your questions
Can we open the kitchen into the next room?
Often, and it depends what the wall carries. That gets determined structurally before it goes in a drawing, because the beam it may need is a real cost.
Is taking in the old pantry a good idea?
It is frequently the cheapest square footage in the house — no exterior work, and the services are already nearby. It is usually the first thing we look at.
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.
