FAQs

How long does a kitchen remodel take?

The timeline for a kitchen remodel depends on the scope of the project. In the St. Louis area, most kitchen remodels take 8–12 weeks once construction begins. Larger renovations involving structural changes, custom cabinetry, or expanded layouts may take longer.

What is the difference between design-build and traditional remodeling?

Can walls be removed to create an open kitchen?

Yes, in many homes walls can be removed to create a more open kitchen layout. Removing a wall can help connect the kitchen to nearby living or dining spaces, improving flow, natural light, and functionality. Our team evaluates the structure of the home and develops a plan that maintains the integrity of the house while creating a more open layout.

In many cases, yes. Many homeowners remain in their homes during kitchen remodeling projects, although temporary adjustments to cooking and daily routines are often necessary during construction.
