Older kitchens in Sedamsville.
Sedamsville (ZIP 45204) climbs the west-side hillside above River Road, and most of its houses went up in the late 1800s and early 1900s — frame construction, plaster on wood lath, and kitchens built as back-of-house service rooms.
In houses of this age the demolition is where the project is really priced. Plaster and lath comes off in a way drywall never does, and what it reveals — the state of the framing, what the wiring actually is, whether a wall someone called non-structural is carrying something — decides the rest. We survey before quoting rather than after, because the alternative is a contract that changes in week two.
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 Sedamsville
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 Sedamsville: your questions
Why does plaster removal matter so much?
It is messier and slower than drywall, and it is where the surprises live. What it exposes about the framing and the wiring usually sets the real budget.
Can you price it before opening the walls?
We survey what we can reach first and tell you where the genuine unknowns are. A number that ignores them is not a real number.
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.
