AfterFull Kitchen Remodeling in Orlando, FL
A full kitchen remodel in Orlando typically runs $35,000 to $75,000 for a mid-size home, including new cabinetry, countertops, flooring, and installation, with most projects finishing in 6 to 10 weeks. That’s not a teaser number – it’s the range we write on the proposal before any demo starts. If you’re in College Park, Conway, Audubon Park, or out toward Dr. Phillips and your kitchen has stopped working for the way you actually live, this is the page that explains what a full kitchen remodel involves, what it costs, and how we keep the process from becoming the story you tell your friends about a contractor who went sideways.
Penhallow Remodeling Orlando handles complete kitchen remodels for homeowners across Orlando. We strip the room down to the studs when the layout calls for it, rebuild the floor plan, and put everything back with materials we’re willing to guarantee in writing. Trevor Nash runs this location, and the standard here is simple: you get a written price before we pick up a hammer, and a 365-day promise that if something isn’t right, we come back and make it right at no charge. Call (850) 427-6454 and a live person answers – not a voicemail maze. For a broader look at the service, start with our Kitchen Remodeling in Orlando page, then come back here for the details.
Key Takeaways
- A full kitchen remodel in Orlando costs $35,000 to $75,000 for most homes, with layout changes, cabinet grade, and countertop material driving the spread.
- You receive a written price before any work starts – the number on day one is the number on the final invoice.
- Every project carries the 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing: if the work fails inside a year, we fix it free.
- Cabinetry from KraftMaid and Wellborn, plus Cambria and Silestone countertops, give you manufacturer warranties stacked on top of ours.
- Background-checked, uniformed technicians arrive in a scheduled window, and a real person answers the phone 24/7.
When You Need Full Kitchen Remodeling
A full remodel is a different animal from a cabinet reface or a countertop swap. You need it when the room itself is the problem – not just the finish on the doors. Here’s what tells us the homeowner is ready for the full job:
- The layout fights you every meal. If you’re bumping hips with someone every time the fridge opens in a Baldwin Park bungalow kitchen, no new hardware fixes that. A full remodel lets us move plumbing, shift the island, and open walls.
- Water has already done damage. Orlando’s humidity and older homes in neighborhoods like Delaney Park often hide swollen particleboard cabinet bases and subfloor rot under the sink. Once the cabinets come out, you see what’s really there – and it’s usually worse than the visible surface suggested.
- The appliances don’t fit modern life. A 30-inch range cutout from 1987 won’t hold the 36-inch slide-in you want. Full remodels rebuild the run of cabinets around the appliances you actually use.
- You’ve patched it enough times. New countertops on sagging cabinets. New backsplash over cracked drywall. There’s a point where each patch costs more than doing the room right once.
- You’re planning to stay and the kitchen is the daily choke point. Full remodels make the most sense for homeowners who’ll be in the house five years or more, and who want the room to stop being the reason they order takeout.
- Storage stopped storing. Orlando homes from the 60s and 70s – look at Conway or Pine Hills stock – often have 18-inch-deep base cabinets and no pantry. A full remodel reclaims dead corners and adds drawers that hold real weight.
Our Full Kitchen Remodeling Process
Here’s the sequence, step by step, the way Trevor runs every Orlando full kitchen project. Nothing here is a surprise, and nothing starts until the price is on paper.
- Site visit and measurements. We come to your Orlando home, take the room’s true dimensions, check the plumbing locations, and look at what’s behind the current cabinets – not just the face of them. This visit tells us what’s possible and what the existing conditions will cost to address.
- Written proposal with a fixed price. You get a document that spells out the scope, the materials, the cabinet line, the countertop choice, the timeline, and the exact dollar figure. Not an estimate range. A number we’re bound to.
- Material selection and ordering. We sit down and pick cabinet doors, finish colors, countertop slabs, hardware, and fixtures. We draw from KraftMaid and Wellborn cabinetry, and Cambria or Silestone countertops – products with their own manufacturer warranties running alongside ours.
- Permit and demo. We pull the permit when the job requires it – structural changes and plumbing relocations in Orlando do. Then the room comes down to the framing it needs to be at. We protect the rest of the house; you shouldn’t find drywall dust in your living room sofa cushions.
- Rough-in and rebuild. New plumbing lines where the sink moves, new electrical for appliance circuits and lighting, drywall, flooring prep, and cabinet installation. Every technician on your job is background-checked and arrives in uniform, so you always know who’s walking in.
- Finish and walkthrough. Countertops go in, fixtures set, backsplash up, trim done. Then we walk the room with you, line by line. If anything falls short of the written scope, it’s fixed before we call the job complete – and the 365-Day Done Right Promise carries it forward from there.
Full Kitchen Remodeling Pricing in Orlando
Let’s talk numbers plainly, because this is where Orlando homeowners have been burned before. A full kitchen remodel in this market runs $35,000 to $55,000 for a typical 200-square-foot kitchen with mid-grade cabinetry and quartz countertops. Step up to full-custom cabinets, a structural wall removal, or a large island with plumbing, and you’re looking at $60,000 to $85,000. High-end builds in Winter Park or Lake Nona with premium appliances and custom millwork can push past $100,000 – but that’s the ceiling, not the norm.
What Drives the Cost Up or Down in Orlando
- Cabinet line. Stock cabinets run $8,000 to $15,000 for a full kitchen. Semi-custom KraftMaid or Wellborn runs $18,000 to $35,000. Full-custom climbs from there. The difference is in the fit, the drawer hardware, and how long the finish holds up in Florida humidity.
- Countertop material. Laminate is $1,500 to $3,000 for a full kitchen. Granite or entry quartz runs $4,000 to $7,000. Cambria or Silestone quartz – which carry their own warranties and resist staining better than natural stone – usually lands between $6,500 and $12,000 depending on slab yield and edge profiles.
- Layout changes. Moving a sink or range means relocating plumbing and sometimes gas lines. Expect $1,500 to $5,000 in mechanical work before a single cabinet goes in, depending on how far the runs move and what’s behind the walls.
- Flooring. If the remodel extends to new flooring, tile runs $2,500 to $6,000 for a full kitchen. Hardwood or luxury vinyl plank lands in a similar band depending on material quality.
- Age of the house. Older Orlando homes often need electrical panel upgrades, new subfloor under failing tile, or remediation for water damage we find after demo. That’s why our written proposal accounts for what we can see – and our process flags what we find before we proceed, with a change order in writing, never a surprise invoice.
Every Penhallow Remodeling Orlando quote is free, and the number we write is the number you pay. Call (850) 427-6454 and we’ll schedule a visit, measure the room, and hand you a written price. No pressure, no “act now,” just the number.
Why Orlando Homeowners Choose Penhallow Remodeling
Most people in Orlando who call us have already done the contractor dance once. They got a verbal ballpark that doubled after demo. They waited through missed appointment windows. They watched a repair fail six weeks after the crew left. We built this location to be the answer to that, and we put the promises in writing so there’s no memory test if something goes wrong.
The foundation is the Kingswell standard, in place since 2004: say the price before the work, show up in the window we gave, leave the place cleaner than we found it, and guarantee the result. That guarantee has a name – the 365-Day Done Right Promise – and it’s included on every full kitchen remodel we do in Orlando. If the work fails inside the guarantee period, we come back and fix it at no charge. If a repair fails, the second visit is free too: no service call, no re-inspection fee, no fine-print argument.
And when you call us at 3 a.m. on a Sunday because a pipe burst under the new sink, a live person picks up. Not an answering service. Not a prompt. Trevor and the team know that the phone call is the first test of whether a company will stand behind its work.
Materials That Back the Guarantee
A written guarantee is only as strong as the products behind it. That’s why we install cabinet lines we’ve watched hold up in Florida’s humidity for years. KraftMaid and Wellborn cabinets carry their own manufacturer warranties – KraftMaid offers a limited lifetime warranty on cabinetry, and Wellborn backs its semi-custom lines the same way. When we set a Cambria quartz countertop, you’re getting a manufacturer lifetime warranty on top of our one-year workmanship promise. Silestone offers a 25-year limited warranty on its quartz surfaces. The layers stack: manufacturer covers the material, Penhallow covers the installation, and the 365-Day Done Right Promise covers the whole room.
FAQs – Full Kitchen Remodeling
How much does a full kitchen remodel cost in Orlando?
A full kitchen remodel in Orlando typically costs $35,000 to $75,000 depending on cabinet grade, countertop material, and whether you’re moving plumbing or walls. Entry-level remodels with stock cabinets and laminate counters can land around $30,000, while full-custom builds with structural changes run $85,000 or more. Call (850) 427-6454 for a free written estimate – you’ll get the exact number before any work starts.
How long does a full kitchen remodel take in Orlando?
Most full kitchen remodels in Orlando take 6 to 10 weeks from demolition day to final walkthrough, assuming no structural surprises are uncovered. Cabinet lead times from KraftMaid and Wellborn typically run 3 to 5 weeks, and we order those the week you approve the written proposal to keep the project moving. If Orlando’s building department slows a permit down, we’ll tell you – we won’t leave you guessing.
Is it cheaper to repair my kitchen or do a full remodel?
If the cabinet boxes are solid and the layout works, repairing and refacing usually costs 30% to 50% less than a full remodel. But if water damage has reached the cabinet frames, the floor is failing, or the layout fights you daily, patching becomes throwing money at a room that already needs replacement. We’ll tell you which path makes sense for your specific kitchen during the free site visit – even if the honest answer is that you don’t need us yet.
Can you do a full kitchen remodel if I’m staying in the house?
Yes, most Orlando homeowners stay in their homes during our full kitchen remodels. We seal the work area, protect the floors from the entry to the kitchen, and coordinate utilities so you’re only without water or power for short, scheduled stretches. The process is disruptive, but we manage it in a way that keeps the rest of the house livable – and we leave the job site clean every evening.
