We hired Urban Kitchens to renovate the kitchen of our 1940s home near OU’s campus, along with several other major updates. We couldn’t be happier with the results. The project included not only a full kitchen remodel but also painting the entire house, refinishing our original wood floors, replacing every window to match the home’s historic style, creating a laundry closet on the first floor and even rebuilding our stairs.
Our kitchen renovation was especially complex. It required solving a tricky layout problem with the basement entrance, which had previously been awkwardly placed inside a too-tall island. Urban Kitchens came up with a thoughtful solution that completely transformed the space. They also removed walls and doors and reconfigured a row of windows into beautiful French doors, creating a seamless indoor/outdoor connection that has completely changed how we use the space. The masonry work was so precise you’d never know the house hadn’t always been this way.
Throughout the process, the team was both attentive and cost-conscious. They worked within the agreed budget, communicated transparently, and there were never any surprise expenses — a huge relief during such a major renovation.
The team listened closely to what we wanted and delivered exactly that, while also suggesting design improvements that elevated the entire project. Megan went above and beyond to oversee every detail while we lived out of state, ensuring the project stayed on track and stress-free for us.
The end result is a home that feels both true to its original character and beautifully updated for modern living. We highly recommend Urban Kitchens to anyone looking for a team that combines craftsmanship, creativity, and genuine care for their clients.
