Older kitchens in Lower Price Hill.
Lower Price Hill (ZIP 45204) is a compact basin neighborhood of 19th-century brick housing on a tight grid, hemmed in by the Mill Creek, the river and the industrial corridor.
Solid masonry walls change what a kitchen remodel involves. There is no stud cavity to run a cable or a vent through, so new services either surface-run, get chased into the masonry, or route through the floor — each with a different cost and a different look. Getting the extraction outside through a solid brick wall is its own piece of work. None of it is difficult, but it is all decided at design rather than discovered at first fix.
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 Lower 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 Lower Price Hill: your questions
How do you run new wiring in solid brick walls?
Chased into the masonry, surface-run behind cabinetry, or routed through the floor. Which one suits gets decided at design, since each has a different cost and finish.
Can the extractor vent outside?
Usually, and cutting through solid masonry is real work rather than an afterthought. We plan the route before the cabinets are ordered.
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.
