Kitchen Remodeling in Hollywood, FL
Cabinets, countertops, layout changes, and appliances — a full kitchen transformation managed by the person doing the work.
What a Kitchen Remodel Actually Involves
A kitchen remodel means changing more than the surface — new cabinets, new countertops, and often moving plumbing or electrical to support a different layout. Many Hollywood and Broward homes built between the 1960s and 1990s have closed-off, galley-style kitchens with limited counter space and dated cabinet boxes. As South Florida homeowners lean toward open-concept living that connects the kitchen to the dining room and lanai, remodels here frequently involve removing a wall or reworking the footprint entirely, not just swapping finishes.
We manage the full scope directly — demolition, rough-in coordination with plumbing and electrical, cabinet and countertop installation, and appliance hookup — so you're not managing separate trades yourself.
Signs Your Kitchen Is Ready for a Remodel
- The layout doesn't work for how you actually cook or entertain
- Cabinet boxes are water-damaged, swollen, or falling apart
- Countertops are chipped, stained, or too small for real prep space
- You're preparing to sell and want the kitchen to show well
- You want to open the kitchen to the living or lanai area
Our Kitchen Remodeling Process
Measure & design walkthrough
We measure the space and talk through layout, cabinet style, and material options.
Material & appliance selection
Cabinets, countertops, and appliances get finalized before demo starts.
Demo & rough-in
Old cabinets and counters come out; plumbing and electrical get relocated as needed.
Install & finish
Cabinets, countertops, backsplash, and appliances go in, followed by a final walkthrough.
What Drives the Cost of a Kitchen Remodel
Every kitchen is different, so we don't quote off a generic price list. The biggest cost factors are: cabinet material and finish (stock vs. custom), countertop material (laminate, quartz, granite, or natural stone), whether the layout is changing (moving plumbing or gas lines costs more than a like-for-like swap), and the appliance package you choose. We walk through all of this during the estimate so you know what's driving your number.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a kitchen remodel take?
A cosmetic refresh (new counters, backsplash, paint) can move quickly. A full remodel with layout changes — moving plumbing or electrical for an island, opening a wall to a living area — takes longer. We give you a real timeline based on your specific scope, not a generic estimate.
Can I still use my kitchen during the remodel?
Partially, depending on the scope. Cabinet and countertop replacement without layout changes can often be phased to keep some function. A full gut renovation — new plumbing, electrical, and layout — usually takes the kitchen fully offline for part of the project. We'll walk through what to expect for your specific job.
Do you handle both cabinets and countertops, or just one?
Both. Cabinets, countertops, backsplash, flooring, and appliance installation are all part of a kitchen remodel with us — you're not coordinating separate contractors for each piece.
Can you move plumbing or gas lines for a new island or layout?
Yes. Relocating a sink, gas line for a range, or adding a water line for a new island is common in kitchen remodels and something we plan for and permit properly rather than treating as an afterthought.
Is a permit required for a full kitchen remodel in Hollywood, FL?
Generally yes, when plumbing, electrical, or structural work is involved. We handle the permitting process through the City of Hollywood as part of the project.
Do you help with design decisions like cabinet layout and material selection?
Yes — we'll walk through layout options, cabinet styles, and countertop materials with you so the finished kitchen matches how you actually cook and entertain, not just what looks good in a photo.
