If you've been thinking about updating your kitchen, you're probably wondering where to start. Maybe the layout doesn't work for how your family actually uses the space. Maybe the cabinets are showing their age, or you're tired of working around outdated appliances. Whatever's driving the decision, a kitchen renovation is worth doing right.
At Scheffer Construction, we've been helping homeowners throughout Warren and Hamilton counties with exactly these kinds of projects for over 30 years. Here's what we've learned about what makes a kitchen renovation successful.
Before we talk about finishes or fixtures, we need to talk about how the space works. A kitchen that looks great but functions poorly isn't a good renovation. We spend time understanding how you cook, where you set groceries when you come in from the garage, and whether your kids do homework at the island while you're making dinner.
Sometimes the best solution involves moving a wall or relocating plumbing. Other times, small adjustments make a big difference—widening a doorway, adding a pantry where there wasn't one, or repositioning the range so you're not blocking traffic. Matt Scheffer oversees every project we take on, and these are the conversations he has with homeowners before any work begins.
We work with homeowners in Mason, Loveland, Indian Hill, Montgomery, and communities throughout the area. One thing we've noticed over 465 completed renovations: people regret cutting corners on materials. Soft-close hinges, solid wood drawer boxes, and quality countertops cost more upfront but hold up year after year.
That doesn't mean you need to spend a fortune. We can show you where to invest and where to save. Stock cabinets with upgraded hardware often look as good as custom options. Quartz countertops require less maintenance than natural stone. These are the kinds of trade‑offs we help you navigate.
The small stuff matters. Under‑cabinet lighting makes prep work easier and shows off your backsplash. Outlets positioned inside drawers keep counters clear. A dedicated charging station keeps devices organized. We think through these details during planning so you're not wishing you'd done something differently six months after the project wraps up.
Kitchen renovations typically run six to ten weeks depending on scope. We're upfront about timelines and keep you informed throughout the process. Our crews have worked together for years, and that continuity shows in how smoothly projects come together.
If you're considering a kitchen renovation in Maineville, Lebanon, Kings Mills, Blue Ash, Anderson, Milford, Morrow, or Mariemont, we'd be happy to walk through your space and talk about possibilities. Every project we complete comes with a 15-year warranty because we believe in the work we do. Reach out when you're ready to start the conversation.
