What affects kitchen remodel cost in West Ashley

West Ashley — Avondale, Byrnes Down, Windermere and the neighbourhoods around them — is mostly mid-century stock, and the cost driver is what is behind the plaster rather than what goes on top of it: inadequate insulation and single-pane windows are the two we find most often, and opening a kitchen wall is the cheapest moment there will ever be to fix them. Permits come from the City of Charleston. Interior work does not go to the BAR; anything that changes the street view does.
