Older kitchens in West Price Hill.
West Price Hill (ZIP 45238) runs west from the hilltop toward Covedale, mixing early-1900s frame houses with a large stock of post-war brick on gentler ground.
Which of those two you own changes the job entirely. The early-1900s houses bring plaster, small original kitchens and wiring that predates the loads a kitchen now carries. The post-war brick brings a different set — plaster or early drywall, a compact galley plan, and soffits above the wall cabinets that often hide ductwork or a vent rather than empty space. We establish which before quoting, because the two are not the same project.
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 West 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 West Price Hill: your questions
What is usually inside the soffit above the cabinets?
Sometimes nothing, often ductwork, a vent or a drain line. It is worth knowing before you plan cabinets to the ceiling, so we check rather than assume.
Does the age of the house change the price?
Substantially. An early-1900s frame house and a post-war brick one bring different problems, so we establish which we are dealing with first.
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.
