Behind your walls

Prewar homes, so plan for what is behind the plaster

Expect plaster and lath instead of drywall, old wiring that cannot carry a modern kitchen (code wants dedicated circuits for the fridge, dishwasher, microwave and two counter circuits), galvanized or cast iron drains, and floors that are out of level.

Older kitchens here are often narrow and closed off. Opening one up usually means a beam, which means a permit and an engineer. Set aside 10 to 15% of your budget for what turns up once the walls are open.
