Local Know-How

What Covington Homeowners Want From a Kitchen Renovation

Covington homes range from historic cottages to 1990s and 2000s builds to newer construction. Common requests we see include:

✓  Modernizing kitchens in historic homes while keeping their character

✓  Opening closed-off kitchens to the living area

✓  Updating builder-grade cabinets and laminate counters

✓  Adding finishes that hold up to Louisiana humidity

✓  Better lighting for darker, older kitchens

✓  Larger islands for families who entertain

Older Covington homes often hide surprises behind the walls. We plan for them before demo day, not after.
