What kitchens projects look like in Wilmington
The Wilmington homes we work in are mostly 1900s–1960s mix, typically brick rowhomes, colonials, and Victorians. We've completed projects across Trolley Square, the Highlands, Westover Hills, and Brandywine Hundred.
Wilmington's older homes often surface lead paint, knob-and-tube wiring, or galvanized plumbing. We inspect for these conditions before quoting and bring in the right certified specialists when the project calls for them.
Many Wilmington kitchens we open up were built tight by 1940s standards, load-bearing walls between kitchen and dining are common, and we handle the structural engineering and permits in-house.
