Homes & local context
Cheviot covers a little over one square mile and has been a city since 1932. Its 2021 Housing Action Plan, prepared by Hamilton County’s housing team, puts the median year built at 1944. About 43% of housing units date from before 1940 and nearly 90% from before 1970, and nearly 70% have two or three bedrooms. Single-family houses account for 60% of units, and another 19% are in two-family buildings. A Cheviot kitchen is likely to be a room laid out decades ago, and in a two-family it may be one of two under the same roof.

Our approach
We’d start with the room exactly as it stands: every door and window, any chimney or radiator, and the ceiling height. In a house of this age those fixed points usually decide the layout more than the square footage does. Then we’d ask what the kitchen connects to, whether that is a dining room, a back porch or the basement stairs, and which of those connections you’d change. If the house is a two-family, we’d ask whether you’re planning one kitchen or both. Cabinet lines, door styles and finishes come after that, at our showroom at 3701 Harrison Avenue, by appointment.
Design considerations
Use these starting points to explore your own room. We’ll help you compare the options with a plan and estimate.
Older kitchens tend to have more doorways and windows than uninterrupted wall. Before adding cabinets, decide which openings are worth keeping. Closing one doorway or raising a window sill to counter height can free a full run of cabinetry, and it is a smaller job than moving the room’s walls.
About one in five Cheviot homes is in a two-family building. If that’s yours, treat the two kitchens as related projects. Using the same cabinet line and a similar layout on both floors can simplify ordering and later repairs, while the unit you live in gets the details you care about most.
Photograph the trim, flooring and door casings that will stay. New cabinetry looks settled when crown, toe kick and end panels are planned around those details, and when the floor transition at each doorway is decided before installation instead of after it.
Scope & investment
The main scope question in a Cheviot kitchen is whether the room’s openings stay where they are. Keeping doors, windows and plumbing in place is one kind of project; moving them is another, and the point at which to ask the Building Department what the work needs. In a two-family, decide whether you’re planning one kitchen or two.
| Project level | Planning range | Scope to discuss |
|---|---|---|
| Basic | $50,000–$70,000 | A fresh, functional update with practical cabinet and countertop selections. Best suited to a more straightforward project. |
| Mid-range | $80,000–$100,000 | More flexibility in cabinetry, finishes, storage, and design details, with room for selected layout changes. |
| Signature | $125,000+ | A more extensive renovation with greater customization and construction scope. |
These are approximate planning ranges, not fixed packages or neighborhood averages. Appliances and flooring are included in these planning ranges. Your room, selections, construction and any additional work determine the quote. We’ll confirm current pricing and inclusions during design review.
Design fees are separate from cabinetry, countertops, installation, and project management. We’ll explain the scope and fees in your Design Agreement before work begins.
Prepare for a design conversation
Photos of all four walls help most, with every door, window and radiator in the frame, plus a rough sketch that notes the ceiling height. For a two-family, tell us which unit. Our Cheviot showroom is by appointment only, so book a time before you come.
