Kentucky Construction Pros
Construction & Remodeling in Covington, KY
Covington's housing is much older than Kentucky's as a whole, with a median year built of 1947 against 1982 statewide, and it includes many small multi-unit buildings. Common projects include kitchen and bath remodels, exterior repairs, roofing and work in two- to four-unit buildings. A city zoning permit comes before the Kenton County building permit, and historic overlay zones need approval for exterior work.

What shapes a project in Covington
Local conditions worth knowing before scope and budget are set.
Mostly built before 1950
ACS 2020-2024 estimates put the median year built for Covington housing at 1947. About 44 percent of units were built before 1940 and about 75 percent before 1980, so many projects work with old framing, plaster and masonry.
Many two- to four-unit buildings
About 54 percent of Covington housing units are detached homes, and about 17 percent are in buildings with two to four units. Work in shared buildings has to account for neighbors, shared walls and separate utility lines.
Seven historic overlay zones
Covington has seven Historic Preservation Overlay zones. A Certificate of Appropriateness is required before any exterior alteration or tree removal in an overlay or in the 12th Street Corridor Redevelopment Plan area, and it must be issued before zoning review.
