Remodeling in Richmond Heights, MO
Richmond Heights has some of the oldest, best-built housing in inner-ring St. Louis County — Tudors, Georgians, and Colonials full of character. We modernize their small original kitchens and dated baths without losing what makes them special.
Richmond Heights is a dense inner-ring community of about 2.3 square miles, tucked between I-64 and I-170 roughly three to four miles north of our Webster Groves shop in the 63117. St. Louis Kitchen Remodel Co. remodels kitchens and baths throughout the city — in the Hi-Pointe area, the long-established Italian-heritage pocket, and along the Clayton Rd corridor, as well as near the Galleria and The Boulevard district. With the Saint Louis Galleria and The Heights community center and library right here, it's a walkable, well-located place to own a home.
For a remodeler, what stands out about Richmond Heights is the age and quality of the housing. The median home dates to around 1947, and roughly 42% of the stock predates 1940 — these are handcrafted Tudor, Georgian, and Colonial single-family homes built to last. Most still carry their small, compartmentalized original kitchens and dated single baths, and with an affluent ownership base and values north of $400K, demand for quality kitchen and bath remodels stays steady year after year.
These early-20th-century homes were built beautifully — they just weren't built for the way we cook and live now. Closing off the kitchen, fitting in a single small bath, and tucking the work zone away made sense decades ago, less so today. Here's where we come in:
Homes built before 1940 often hide original plumbing, knob-and-tube wiring, and lath-and-plaster walls. We've remodeled plenty of them, so we plan for those conditions up front and keep your project on schedule and on budget.
Full kitchen transformations for Richmond Heights homes — cabinets, counters, flooring, and smarter, more open layouts.
Modernize a dated bath or add a new one, with tile, vanities, tubs, and showers done right.
Custom tile walk-in showers and tub-to-shower conversions for older Richmond Heights baths.
Refresh your kitchen for less while keeping its character — reface, refinish, or go custom.
Turn an unfinished basement into living space — family rooms, baths, and bars.
