What Karr Bick Kitchen & Bath does

Karr Bick Kitchen & Bath is a privately-held, design-build firm founded in 2006 and headquartered in Brentwood/St. Louis, Missouri, serving residential homeowners in the St. Louis metropolitan area. The company integrates kitchen and bath interior design, cabinetry and product specification, and in-house construction and installation under a single contract, replacing the conventional multi-vendor remodel process. Core products include Kitchen Remodeling, Bathroom Remodeling, Wherever Spaces (custom rooms such as mudrooms, laundry rooms, butler's pantries, bars, home offices, and nurseries), Construction Services, and an Interior Design-only service module, supported by a Free Project Consultation, Virtual Showroom Tour, the 'Refer & Repeat' loyalty program, and the educational Karr Bick TV content series on YouTube.

The business generates revenue from two streams: project-based professional services fees for design and construction management, and product sales of cabinets, appliances, countertops, flooring, tile, lighting, plumbing fixtures, and decorative hardware sourced through partnerships with premium brands including Sub-Zero/Wolf, Mouser Cabinetry, Kohler, Cambria, Caesarstone, and Grohe/Hansgrohe. Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer, driven by an owned showroom, website inquiries, free consultations, multi-channel social and content marketing (Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest, YouTube, Houzz Pro Profile, blog, email newsletter), earned media in St. Louis publications, and a customer referral program. Pricing is custom, quote-based, and not publicly disclosed; each engagement is a multi-month project engagement.

The firm is co-owned and actively operated by founders Jenny Rausch (Owner, Kitchen & Bath Designer) and Todd Rausch (Owner, Project Manager, Master Craftsman), supported by a Construction CFO, Director of Purchasing, Showroom Manager, Senior Designer, designers, project managers, carpenters, installers, painters, and warehouse/delivery staff. Strategic growth actions have included the City Lights Design + Build merger, launch of the Karr Bick Curated Shop interior design department, and launch of the 'Real Life Renovations' TV show. Recognition includes Best of Houzz Design (2012–2021) and Service (2013–2020) awards and multiple St. Louis Homes + Lifestyles Kitchens of the Year and Baths of the Year platinum and gold awards.
