WHERE WE WORK
Wheatland Construction — Veterans Approved • Family-Owned Since 2018
(316) 322-7898Benton is a small Butler County community northeast of El Dorado, situated along US-77 in the rolling terrain between the Arkansas River valley and the Flint Hills. The area is semi-rural — a mix of farmsteads, acreage properties, and residential development that draws homeowners who want space between them and the Wichita metro without leaving the county.
The housing stock in and around Benton is a mix of older farmhouse-style homes from the mid-20th century and newer construction on larger lots. Both create distinct renovation and build opportunities. Wheatland Construction is Butler County based — El Dorado is our home. We permit through Butler County for Benton-area work and we know the rural residential considerations specific to this part of the county.
Benton-area acreage lots are popular with homeowners who want rural privacy while staying within reasonable distance of Augusta, El Dorado, and the Wichita metro. We build custom homes on Benton-area lots — from full design-build projects to constructing from owner-provided plans. Butler County permits, full trade coordination, and our own crews from foundation to finish. See Custom Home Building in Benton →
Benton-area properties often have room to expand — either through room additions to an existing structure or through detached structures that add functional space. We build room additions that match existing materials and rooflines, and we work with Butler County permit office on all applications. See Home Additions in Benton →
Older Benton-area farmhouses and rural homes frequently have basements that were never finished — and that have specific moisture and structural considerations that differ from newer suburban construction. Poured concrete and concrete block basements in this part of Butler County need assessment for water intrusion from clay-loam soil before framing begins. We evaluate every basement before quoting. See Basement Finishing in Benton →
Benton-area homes include original mid-century bathrooms that were functional for their era and have been running on borrowed time ever since — original galvanized supply lines, original drain systems, and dated finishes. We remodel them completely: new supply and drain work where needed, new tile, new vanity and countertop, new fixtures. See Bathroom Remodeling in Benton →
Rural Benton-area kitchens range from narrow galley layouts in 1950s farmhouses to more spacious kitchens in newer construction that just need modernizing. We work with the existing layout where it makes sense and reconfigure where the flow doesn't serve how the kitchen actually gets used. See Kitchen Remodeling in Benton →
Older Benton-area farmhouses and rural properties frequently need more than single-room updates — comprehensive renovations that bring aging homes into alignment with modern expectations for insulation, electrical capacity, and interior finish. We handle major remodel scopes with full permit coordination through Butler County. See Major Remodels in Benton →
Butler County sees significant hail and wind exposure. Rural Benton-area properties are often less sheltered than suburban homes — wind exposure is higher and storm damage can be more severe. We install roofing systems appropriate for rural Kansas conditions and handle insurance documentation when applicable. See Roofing in Benton →
Benton is unincorporated — all residential work in the Benton area permits through Butler County. We handle all permit applications, inspections, and final approvals. Our proximity to El Dorado means we're a short drive from the Butler County permit office.
Butler County is our home market. We serve Benton-area properties regularly and we understand the rural residential considerations — septic setbacks, well clearances, county road access for equipment, and the permit process for unincorporated Butler County construction.
