Kitchen Remodeling in Columbia
Many Columbia kitchens are in houses built before 1980, so a remodel often starts with what is behind the walls: older wiring, aging drain lines and layouts that were never opened up.

What shapes a project in Columbia
Local conditions worth knowing before scope and budget are set.
Mid-century and older homes
Census estimates for 2020-2024 count about 62,000 housing units in Columbia. About 30 percent were built before 1960 and about 50 percent before 1980, while about 31 percent were built in 2000 or later.
Houses and apartment buildings
About half of Columbia's housing units are single-family detached homes, and 44 percent are in buildings with two or more units. About 19 percent are in buildings with 20 or more units, so association and building-management rules shape many projects.
Inland, mixed-humid climate
Richland County is in climate zone 3A and is classed as mixed-humid. The state's emergency management agency warns that hurricanes and tropical storms can affect every county, bringing high winds, tornadoes and inland flooding well away from the coast.
