Kitchen Remodeling in Overland Park, KS

Planning a kitchen in Overland Park

What Overland Park Kitchens Usually Need

In the older parts of north Overland Park, many homes are ranches and split-levels with kitchens that were built as separate rooms. They tend to have soffits over the upper cabinets, a short run of counter between the range and the sink, and a wall that blocks the view to the family room. Opening that wall is the most common request we hear, and whether it is simple depends on what is inside it.

In the newer neighborhoods to the south, the layout usually works and the goal is different: replacing builder-grade cabinets and counters, enlarging the island, adding a walk-in pantry, and improving lighting so the kitchen matches the rest of the house.

• Soffits can hide ductwork or plumbing vents, so we confirm what is inside before promising taller cabinets.
• Older kitchens often have too few circuits for today's appliances and countertop gear.
• Range hoods that vent outside need a clear duct path, which shapes where the range can go.
• Flooring transitions to existing hardwood in the dining or living room need to be planned early.

How We Plan an Overland Park Kitchen

Our first visit is about how you use the room and what the house will allow. We look in the basement or attic to see which walls carry load and where ducts and pipes run, so the design we show you is one we can actually build.

From there we work through layout, cabinet and counter selections, and a written scope and schedule before any demolition. Cabinet lead times usually set the pace, so we order early and plan demolition around delivery to keep the time you are without a kitchen as short as we can.
