AfterCabinets & Countertops in Orlando, FL
Cabinet and countertop replacement in Orlando typically costs between $8,500 and $28,000 for a mid-size kitchen, with cabinets driving roughly 60% of that number and countertops the remaining 40%. Most Orlando homeowners we work with choose semi-custom cabinetry paired with quartz, and a full tear-out-and-replace takes 3 to 6 weeks depending on material lead times and whether we’re reconfiguring the layout. If you’re planning a larger project, this work usually happens as part of a full Kitchen Remodeling in Orlando, but plenty of homeowners call us just to swap tired cabinets and a laminate top for something that holds up to Orlando humidity without swelling or staining.
At Penhallow Remodeling Orlando, Trevor Nash runs every cabinet and countertop job the same way: you get a written price before we pull a single door off its hinges, and a written 365-Day Done Right Promise that says if anything fails inside a year, we come back and fix it at no charge. No punch list that never gets finished. No quote that shifts after demo. The number on day one is the number on the invoice. Call us at (850) 427-6454 and we’ll put it in writing.
When You Need Cabinets & Countertops
Most people don’t wake up planning to replace their kitchen. They hit a threshold. Here’s what typically pushes Orlando homeowners over the line:
- Swollen cabinet bases and delaminating doors. Orlando’s humidity works its way into particleboard and MDF cores over time. We see it constantly in College Park and Conway, where 1980s and 1990s kitchens are hitting end of life. Doors won’t close square, drawer fronts peel, and the cabinet box itself starts to sag.
- Laminate countertops that are lifting at the seams. Once water gets under the laminate near the sink or dishwasher, the substrate swells and the surface bubbles. You can’t sand it flat. It’s a replacement, not a repair.
- Water damage from a leaking sink or dishwasher. The cabinet base under the sink is usually the first to go. If the floor of the cabinet is soft, stained, or moldy, the box is compromised. In Baldwin Park and Winter Park, we’ve also seen older plumbing cause slow leaks that sat for years before anyone noticed.
- Layout that fights you every single day. Corner cabinets you can’t reach into. A peninsula that blocks the fridge. No drawer stack anywhere. If you’re working around your kitchen instead of in it, new cabinets can fix the choreography without moving walls.
- You’re selling soon and the kitchen is dragging value down. Orlando buyers in neighborhoods like Audubon Park and Thornton Park walk into a kitchen and either see the project or they don’t. A dated, worn kitchen in an otherwise solid house is the number one thing that sours a first impression.
- Previous contractor work that failed. Doors installed crooked. Countertops with visible seams. Drawer slides that stick after six months. We fix a fair number of kitchens where the cabinets are only a few years old but were installed badly. If that’s you, the 365-Day Done Right Promise matters, because you’ve already learned what “no guarantee” costs.
Our Cabinets & Countertops Process
We keep the process simple enough to explain in five steps. Here’s exactly what happens when you call Penhallow Remodeling Orlando for our Kitchen Remodeling services.
- Call and talk to a person. A live human answers our phone 24/7, not a voicemail maze. Tell us what’s happening in your kitchen. We’ll ask about the age of the cabinets, what the countertops are made of, and whether you want to keep the same layout or change it.
- In-home measurement and material discussion. A background-checked, uniformed technician comes to your home, takes precise measurements, checks the floor for level, and looks at the cabinet boxes underneath to see if they can be saved or need full replacement. This is where we talk materials honestly, including what’s worth the money in Orlando’s climate.
- Written price, line by line. You get a written number before any work starts. Not an estimate range. Not a verbal ballpark. The price covers the cabinetry, the countertops, the tear-out, the install, and the disposal. It’s the same number that lands on your final invoice.
- Scheduled arrival window, kept. We give you a real arrival window and we show up inside it. Demo, cabinet set, countertop template, fabrication, and install all happen on a defined schedule so you’re not living without a kitchen for longer than we said.
- Walkthrough and written guarantee. When the job is done, we walk the kitchen with you before cleanup is finished; if something’s not right, we fix it then. Then you get the written 365-Day Done Right Promise. If anything fails inside a year, we come back and fix it at no charge. No service call fee. No re-inspection fee. It’s in writing.
Cabinets & Countertops Pricing in Orlando
Cabinet and countertop work in Orlando runs a wide spread because materials drive most of the cost. Here’s what we tell homeowners in Dr. Phillips, SoDo, and Lake Nona when they ask what to budget.
| Scope | Typical Orlando Range | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Stock cabinets, mid-size kitchen (10×12 ft) | $8,500 – $12,000 | Includes tear-out, basic hardware, and a laminate or entry-level quartz top. |
| Semi-custom cabinets, mid-size kitchen | $14,000 – $22,000 | Includes soft-close drawers, crown molding, and quartz throughout. |
| Full custom cabinets, larger kitchen | $22,000 – $32,000+ | Bespoke sizes, specialty finishes, and high-end hardware. |
| Quartz countertops only (40 sq ft) | $4,000 – $8,500 | Depends on the slab line; Cambria and Silestone run higher than entry quartz. |
| Countertop replacement with cabinet refacing | $9,000 – $16,000 | Keeps the boxes, replaces doors, drawer fronts, and tops. |
What actually moves the number? Cabinet line is the biggest lever. Stock KraftMaid boxes cost less than Wellborn semi-custom, which costs less than full custom. Countertop material is second: laminate is the entry point, quartz is the sweet spot for durability, and natural stone requires annual sealing in Orlando’s climate. After that, it’s Kitchen Design & Layout changes, electrical or plumbing shifts, and whether the existing cabinet boxes can be salvaged.
On countertops specifically: quartz has become the default Orlando choice because it doesn’t need sealing and doesn’t stain the way marble does with Florida’s hard water. We install Cambria, Silestone, and Caesarstone slabs, and each manufacturer carries its own warranty alongside our 365-Day Done Right Promise. That means two layers of protection on the same surface.
Every quote is free and every quote is written. Call (850) 427-6454 and we’ll give you a real number for your kitchen, not a ballpark you can’t hold anyone to.
FAQs – Cabinets & Countertops
How much do new cabinets and countertops cost in Orlando, FL?
A mid-size Orlando kitchen with semi-custom cabinets and quartz countertops typically costs $14,000 to $22,000, while a budget stock-cabinet job starts around $8,500 and Full Kitchen Remodeling with custom can exceed $32,000. The cabinet line, countertop material, and whether the layout stays the same are the three factors that move the price most. Call (850) 427-6454 for a written quote specific to your kitchen; estimates are free.
Is it cheaper to reface cabinets or replace them?
Refacing costs roughly $9,000 to $16,000 in Orlando, which is usually 30-40% less than full replacement when the existing cabinet boxes are square and structurally sound. If the boxes are swollen, water-damaged, or the layout needs to change, replacement is the better long-term spend. We’ll tell you which one makes sense for your specific kitchen after inspecting the boxes in person.
How long does a cabinet and countertop replacement take in Orlando?
Expect 3 to 6 weeks from tear-out to final install, with countertop fabrication and lead time on the cabinet line being the two biggest variables. We give you a defined arrival window for every phase so you’re not guessing when the next crew shows up. If you need a specific completion date, we’ll tell you before work starts whether it’s realistic.
Do you offer a guarantee on cabinet and countertop work?
Yes. Every job comes with a written 365-Day Done Right Promise: if the work fails inside a year, we return and fix it at no charge, with no service call fee and no re-inspection fee. The guarantee is in writing on every project we do, and it’s backed by the Kingswell standard that’s been operating since 2004. Call (850) 427-6454 and we’ll put the same guarantee in front of you before you sign anything.
Can you install cabinets I bought somewhere else?
We don’t install customer-supplied cabinetry as a standalone service. The reason is simple: we can’t stand behind a product we didn’t spec, and the 365-Day Done Right Promise only covers materials we’ve vetted and sourced ourselves. We install KraftMaid and Wellborn cabinetry because those lines hold up in Orlando’s humidity and their warranties dovetail with ours.
What countertop material holds up best in Orlando’s climate?
Quartz is the most durable choice for Orlando kitchens because it’s non-porous, doesn’t require sealing, and resists staining from the mineral-heavy water common throughout Central Florida. We install Cambria, Silestone, and Caesarstone quartz, each with a manufacturer warranty on top of our own written guarantee. Granite and marble are available, but we’re honest with homeowners about the maintenance tradeoffs before you commit.
Local Cabinet & Countertop Work We See in Orlando
Every neighborhood in Orlando has its own kitchen quirks. In College Park and Delaney Park, we’re usually working inside 1920s through 1950s homes with plaster walls, tight cabinet footprints, and floors that haven’t been level in decades; those jobs require shimming, scribing, and custom filler strips to make new cabinets sit right. In Lake Nona and Laureate Park, we see newer builds where the builder-grade cabinets are only 5 to 8 years old but already failing at the corners, and homeowners don’t want to make that mistake twice. Baldwin Park kitchens tend to have open-plan layouts where the Kitchen Island Installation is the centerpiece, so cabinet finishes and countertop slab selection matter more there than anywhere else in the city.
Orlando’s climate also plays a role that online cabinet retailers never mention. High humidity, especially from June through September, causes cheap MDF doors to swell, painted finishes to bloom, and poorly sealed seams to fail. That’s not a cosmetic annoyance; it’s structural. We spec materials and mounting hardware with Central Florida’s moisture levels in mind, not a showroom in Phoenix.
Why Orlando Homeowners Choose Penhallow Remodeling
Most of the people who call us have already been burned once. They hired a contractor who gave a verbal estimate that doubled after demo. They paid for a countertop install that left a visible seam and a cabinet that never got adjusted. They called three companies and none of them answered the phone. That’s exactly the gap we built Penhallow Remodeling Orlando to close.
The Kingswell Way is our operating standard, and it’s been in place since 2004. It says three things: say the price before the work, show up in the window we gave, and leave the place cleaner than we found it. Trevor Nash runs every Orlando project to that standard. Each Penhallow location is independently owned and operated, and the promises we make here in Orlando are the same ones Kingswell has stood behind for two decades.
Here’s what that looks like on a cabinet and countertop job:
- A written price before any work starts. Not an estimate range. Not a verbal ballpark. A line-item number you can hold us to.
- A written 365-Day Done Right Promise. If the work fails inside a year, we fix it at no charge. That’s on every project, in writing.
- Background-checked, uniformed technicians. You’ll know exactly who’s walking into your home, and they’ll be the same standard of professional on day one and day thirty.
- A live person answers the phone 24/7. No answering service, no voicemail maze, no “we’ll call you back within two business days.” Call at 2pm or 2am and you’ll talk to a human.
- Recognized trade brands behind the work. We install KraftMaid and Wellborn cabinetry, and Cambria, Silestone, and Caesarstone countertops. The products carry their own manufacturer warranties, which sit alongside ours.
- Free return visit if a repair fails. No service call fee, no re-inspection fee. If something isn’t right, we come back, period.

We’ll hand you a written number. And if you decide to move forward, you’ll have the guarantee in writing before a single cabinet door comes off. Call (850) 427-6454 for a free estimate.
