WHERE WE WORK
Wheatland Construction — Veterans Approved • Family-Owned Since 2018
(316) 322-7898Augusta is Butler County's second-largest city — a community of around 9,000 with a housing history that spans more than a century. From the original oil-boom homes near downtown built in the 1910s and 1920s, to the mid-century ranches along the south corridors, to the newer subdivisions on the east and north edges of town, Augusta's housing stock presents nearly every renovation challenge that exists in Kansas residential construction.
Wheatland Construction is based in El Dorado — Augusta is our backyard. We're a Veterans Approved Builder (ID: 00899), Home Advisor Certified since 2019, family-owned and faith-forward since 2018. We permit through Butler County and through the City of Augusta depending on the project location, and we know the difference.
Augusta has residential lots available in newer subdivisions on the north and east edges of the city, and infill lots in established neighborhoods near downtown. We build custom homes in Augusta from foundation through finish — handling architecture coordination, Butler County permits, and all construction directly. See Custom Home Building in Augusta →
Augusta's older housing stock — particularly the 1950s–1970s ranches — was built at smaller square footages than modern families need. Room additions, master suite expansions, and garage additions are common projects we handle in Augusta. We match existing rooflines, siding, and window styles so additions look original.

Augusta's older poured-concrete and block basements have unique considerations. Pre-1960 block construction can have mortar joint seepage issues after heavy rain. We assess every Augusta basement for moisture before framing starts — and if drainage work is needed, we address it first. Augusta basements in good structural condition finish beautifully into family rooms, legal bedrooms, and home offices. See Basement Finishing in Augusta →
Augusta's century-old homes near downtown have original cast-iron plumbing, hexagonal mosaic tile, and pedestal sinks that have character — but also 80-year-old drain lines and galvanized supply pipes that calcify and restrict flow. We work in Augusta's historic housing stock regularly and know how to preserve character while addressing the underlying systems. Newer Augusta homes have builder-grade bathrooms from the 1960s–1990s that are overdue for full replacement. See Bathroom Remodeling in Augusta →
Augusta kitchens run the full spectrum — from original 1920s layouts with limited counter space and no island, to 1970s kitchens with oak cabinets and laminate countertops, to 1990s layouts with newer materials that have simply reached the end of their useful life. We remodel Augusta kitchens for layout, functionality, and finish — cabinets, countertops, lighting, plumbing fixtures, and appliances. See Kitchen Remodeling in Augusta →
Augusta has a significant stock of older homes that need more than single-room updates — full floor renovations, structural changes to open up closed layouts from earlier eras, or comprehensive updates to homes that haven't had work done since they were built. We handle major remodel scopes with multiple trade coordination and permit management. See Major Remodels in Augusta →
Augusta sits in Butler County's hail belt — the area sees significant storm activity each spring. We install new roofs in Augusta with materials rated for Kansas hail exposure, handle insurance documentation when applicable, and pull all required permits. See Roofing in Augusta →
Most Augusta residential work permits through the City of Augusta's building department. Properties outside city limits in unincorporated Butler County permit through Butler County. We determine the correct jurisdiction for your address and manage all permit applications and inspections.
We're Butler County based — El Dorado is our home office. We've worked in Augusta's historic downtown neighborhoods, its mid-century corridors, and its newer subdivisions. We know the difference between a block-wall basement from 1950 and a poured-concrete one from 2005, and we approach each one accordingly.
