Upper Arlington, commonly referred to by its initials UA, is a quiet, friendly suburb just northwest of Columbus. It’s known as a nice place to live for many people in the Columbus area, and its Old Arlington neighborhood is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Due to the historic nature of this suburb, there are plenty of older homes with small, outdated kitchens. The Creative Kitchen has completed many kitchen renovations and refacings in Upper Arlington, Ohio. Whether you’re updating an older kitchen with fresh cabinets and appliances, refacing your cabinets, or reinventing the layout of your current kitchen to make it more functional, we’re ready to help.

As you get started on your kitchen remodel in Upper Arlington, consider opening up your space, like our clients who went from small and dark to spectacular and spacious with gleaming whites and greys.

Frequently Asked Questions About Kitchen Remodeling in Upper Arlington

How much does a kitchen remodel cost in Upper Arlington, OH?
Cost varies based on the scope of work, the materials you choose, and whether you change the layout. A cabinet refresh, sometimes called refacing, is a significantly lower-budget option than a full remodel because we keep your existing cabinet boxes intact and update the doors, fronts, hardware, and visible surfaces. A full remodel that reconfigures the layout, runs new plumbing or electrical, or rebuilds with custom cabinetry sits at the higher end. Every kitchen is different, so we don’t quote a number sight unseen. Your free in-home consultation in Upper Arlington is when we measure your space, talk through your goals, and develop your specific budget.
How long does a kitchen renovation take from start to finish?
It depends on the scope. A cabinet refresh or refacing project takes days rather than weeks, since we keep your existing cabinet boxes intact and update only the visible surfaces. A full remodel takes longer, generally weeks to a few months of construction depending on layout changes, custom cabinetry lead times, and any plumbing, electrical, or structural work involved. Older Upper Arlington homes occasionally need updates to wiring or plumbing rough-ins, which can extend the construction window and which we coordinate through licensed trade partners. We also factor in design and product ordering on the front end. Once you approve the design and budget, we lock in your installation schedule and provide regular progress updates throughout the build.
Should I reface my cabinets or replace them with new ones?
Reface or refresh when your existing cabinet boxes are structurally sound, the layout works for how you cook, and your goal is a fresh look without the cost or disruption of a full remodel. Refacing keeps the boxes in place and updates the doors, drawer fronts, hardware, and visible surfaces. Replace when boxes are damaged, you want to change the kitchen’s footprint, you need new cabinet configurations for custom features like a pantry wall or built-in specialty appliances, or you want to upgrade to taller, ceiling-height cabinets your existing boxes can’t accommodate. We help you make the call during your free in-home consultation.
Will a kitchen remodel increase the value of my Upper Arlington home?
Yes, in most cases. A modernized kitchen is consistently one of the home features buyers prioritize, and it’s frequently cited as one of the higher return-on-investment renovations a homeowner can make. Upper Arlington’s strong school district and established real estate market puts a particular premium on quality renovations that respect the home’s original architecture. A cabinet refresh can dramatically improve a kitchen’s appeal at a fraction of the cost of a full remodel, which is often a strong choice if you’re updating to sell. For long-term homeowners, a full remodel tailored to your family’s needs delivers comfort and function that pays back in daily quality of life as much as resale value.
Can you update a mid-century kitchen in Upper Arlington while keeping its character?
Yes. The right approach blends modern function with period-respectful details: clean shaker or slab doors in warm tones, brass or matte black hardware, quartz or natural stone counters in soft tones, and lighting that nods to the era without being a costume. We can preserve original built-ins, breakfast nooks, or pass-throughs that give the home its character.
What kitchen design choices add the most resale value in Upper Arlington?
Quartz or natural stone counters, ceiling-height cabinets in warm whites or soft greens, layered lighting with under-cabinet task lights and a statement pendant or two, and a well-organized large island with seating consistently top buyer priorities. Hardwood or wood-look luxury vinyl plank flooring, a large undermount sink, and a panel-front or built-in look for the dishwasher and fridge are common in homes pricing above neighborhood median.

WHAT THEY HAVE TO SAY

“The Creative Kitchen Co. team is wonderful: They are wonderful craftsmen, and also completely honest and trustworthy. I felt very comfortable having the workers in my home every day. They turned a mistake I made into something really extraordinary: I ordered cabinets that were about eight inches too short; there was a gap between the top of the cupboards and the ceiling that looked awkward. I found some intricate molding that I really liked and sent it to the team: They built custom molding to fit that awkward space. It works so well that I’m glad I ordered the wrong cabinets.”­

WHAT THEY HAVE TO SAY

“I talked with several contractors before I met with the folks at The Creative Kitchen Co. I knew immediately that these were the people to take on our project: they listened to me about how I live my life with my family.

They created a gorgeous kitchen for me, and it was a great experience. They were so polite, they did great work and they finished on budget. I love my new kitchen; I wouldn’t change one thing.”
