A mid-range kitchen remodel in the Northern Kentucky and Greater Cincinnati market typically runs $75,000 to $150,000. A high-end kitchen with custom cabinetry, professional appliances, and premium stone runs $150,000 and above. The biggest variables are cabinetry, appliances, countertop material, and whether the layout is changing.

How much does a bathroom remodel cost in Cincinnati?

A primary bath remodel with custom tile, a new vanity, and a walk-in shower typically runs $30,000 to $75,000 in the Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky market. A high-end primary suite bath with premium fixtures runs higher. Hall baths and powder rooms tend to be more straightforward.

How much does an outdoor living space cost in Northern Kentucky?

Outdoor living projects in the Northern Kentucky and Greater Cincinnati market typically run $75,000 to $200,000 depending on scope and finish level. A covered deck or screened porch lands toward the lower end. A fully appointed outdoor room with a fireplace, outdoor kitchen, and premium finishes lands toward the higher end and sometimes beyond.

What is included in an outdoor kitchen or covered porch project?

It depends on what you want to build. A covered porch can be as simple as a roof structure with lighting and ceiling fans, or as involved as a fully screened outdoor room with built-in seating and a fireplace. An outdoor kitchen typically includes a grill station, counter space, a sink, and often a refrigerator. We design these spaces around how you actually entertain and what your site allows.

Do you build decks and outdoor living spaces as standalone projects?

Yes. Outdoor living is one of our most requested Signature Spaces. You do not need a larger remodel or addition underway to build an outdoor space with us. If extending your home into the outdoors is the project, that is enough.

How much does a home office remodel cost?

A dedicated home office remodel with custom built-ins, proper lighting, and quality finishes typically runs $20,000 to $50,000 depending on size and scope. A more straightforward conversion of an existing room lands toward the lower end. A fully custom office with millwork and specialty lighting lands toward the higher end.

Do you do kitchen-only remodels or do you require a larger scope?

Kitchen-only remodels are a core part of what we do. You don't need a whole home project to work with Shade Tree. If your kitchen is the one space that needs attention, that is exactly the kind of project we take on.

How long does a kitchen remodel take?

Most kitchen remodels take six to ten weeks from construction start to completion. Pre-Construction, where we finalize the design, selections, and permit requirements, typically adds four to eight weeks before construction begins.

Do I need to move out during a kitchen or bathroom remodel?

For most single-space remodels, no. Kitchen remodels do disrupt your ability to cook at home for several weeks. Bathroom remodels depend on how many bathrooms you have access to during construction. We discuss this early so you can plan accordingly.

How do you handle a kitchen remodel differently than a larger project?

The process is the same. Pre-Construction, Build, Handoff. The same Selections Coordinator managing every material decision. The same dedicated project manager on site. The same cost-plus transparency on every invoice. What changes is the scope, not the standard.

What makes a kitchen remodel worth the investment?

The kitchen is the room you live in most. When it works, everything feels easier. When it doesn't, the friction shows up every single day. A well-built kitchen remodel changes how you cook, how you gather, and how your home feels.

What areas do you serve for kitchen and bathroom remodels?

We serve Northern Kentucky including Fort Mitchell, Fort Thomas, Covington, Newport, Cold Spring, Erlanger, Florence, and surrounding communities. We also serve Greater Cincinnati including Hyde Park, Madeira, Montgomery, Indian Hill, Anderson Township, and Amberley Village, as well as Southeast Indiana. We are based in Fort Mitchell, KY.

How do I get started with a kitchen or bathroom remodel?

The first step is a conversation. We talk through what you are trying to accomplish, your budget, and your timeline to figure out if we are the right fit.

Signature Spaces

Where design, quality, and intention meet - and life gets a little more extraordinary.

Not every project is a whole home. Sometimes it's the kitchen that's been driving you crazy for years. The primary bath you've been tolerating since you moved in. The outdoor living space you've been sketching in your head every summer. The home office that finally needs to be a real room.

These are Signature Spaces. Single rooms, single focuses, and the same level of craft, coordination, and intention we bring to every project we touch. We don't have a "smaller project" standard. We have one standard.

A Signature Space is where design, quality, and intention meet. And when it's done, it changes the way you move through your home every single day.

WHAT WE BUILD

Custom kitchen remodel with wood cabinetry and quartz countertops in Northern Kentucky and Cincinnati by Shade Tree Homes

Kitchen Remodels

The kitchen is the room that sets the tone for everything else. It's where the day starts, where dinner becomes an event, and where everyone ends up no matter what room you started in. We build kitchens designed around how you actually cook, gather, and live. Custom cabinetry. Premium appliances. Layouts that finally make sense. Countertops that last. If your kitchen has been holding your home back, this is where we start.

Custom bathroom remodel with walk-in shower and designer fixtures in Greater Cincinnati by Shade Tree Homes

Bathroom Remodels

The primary bath that feels like a retreat you've actually earned. The hall bath that works for everyone who uses it. The powder room that makes a statement the moment someone walks in. We handle bathroom remodels of every scope with the same attention to detail we bring to every other room. Tile, plumbing, custom vanities, shower systems, fully coordinated and finished to the last detail.

Outdoor Living Spaces

The best room in your house might not have a roof yet. We design and build covered porches, outdoor kitchens, screened living spaces, entertainment decks, and fireside retreats that turn your exterior into a room worth living in. Spaces that actually get used. Spaces you'll look back and wonder why you waited.

Home Offices

A home office worth working in changes everything. The focus is different. The days feel different. We build home offices that function the way you need them to, with custom storage, proper lighting, and the kind of finish work that makes the room feel intentional rather than improvised.

Playrooms & Kids Spaces

Kids need a room that's designed for how they actually play. We build playrooms with real intention — built-in storage, durable finishes, and thoughtful layouts that grow with your family. A room they'll actually use and that you'll actually be glad to walk into.

Laundry Rooms & Mudrooms

The rooms nobody puts on the inspiration board but everyone spends time in. A laundry room with real counter space, real storage, and a layout that makes the chore feel less like one. A mudroom that actually handles the chaos of daily life. These rooms matter more than most people give them credit for, and we build them like they do.

START YOUR PROJECT

The Signature Space Difference

A single-room remodel sounds simpler than a whole home project. In some ways it is. In other ways, the stakes are higher.

When the scope is focused, there's nowhere to hide. Every detail in a kitchen or bathroom is visible, touchable, and lived with every single day. The tile work either lines up or it doesn't. The cabinetry either feels right or it doesn't. The countertop either holds up or it shows its age.

We don't approach a kitchen remodel differently because it's "just a kitchen." We approach it the same way we approach a custom home build, with the same trades, the same Selections Coordinator managing every material decision, the same project manager on site, and the same standard from the first day to the last.

The scope might be focused or narrow, but our standard is the same.
