FAQ

Cost questions

What makes a kitchen cost more?

Moving the sink or range, taking out a wall, custom cabinets, natural stone, or a bigger room. In older Cincinnati homes, rewiring and leveling floors.

What is not in this price?

Appliances, moving walls or windows, and moving plumbing or gas lines.

Does the price change by ZIP inside Cincinnati?

Not much. The same crews work the whole metro. What changes is the house: a 1920s home hides more surprises than a 1990s one.

Why is labor only part of the price?

Materials, permits, overhead like insurance and trucks, and a normal margin make up the rest. Every line is on this page.
