Cabinet supply and install, countertops with template and fabrication, backsplash tile, plumbing rough in, electrical rework, lighting, appliance install, and flooring.

The three highest return upgrades are semi custom cabinets in warm wood or painted white, quartz counters with a mitered edge, under cabinet lighting and pendants over the island. In Columbus specifically, century homes in german village, clintonville, and victorian village drive whole home and kitchen work. insurance and university payroll keep the mid market stable. basement finishes are a strong secondary category on the region's typical full depth foundations.

Structural changes (moving a wall to open the kitchen to the living room) add 15 to 30 percent to the base project cost and require permits plus engineer sign off.

Ohio does not license residential general contractors at the state level, but Columbus requires contractor registration and permits, and plumbing, electrical, HVAC, and hydronics work must be performed by an Ohio Construction Industry Licensing Board licensed trade contractor.
