Fast, Reliable Kitchen Remodeling Across Union Park
Kitchen remodeling in Union Park typically runs $14,000 to $45,000 for a full project, with small kitchen remodels starting around $9,000. The number you end up with depends on whether you are keeping the existing footprint or opening a load-bearing wall, and what cabinet and countertop lines you choose. If you live in one of the concrete block ranch homes that fill this part of Orange County, you are probably also wondering what code upgrades a remodel triggers. We are going to walk through all of that. Call us at (850) 427-6454 and we will give you a written price before any work starts.
Why Penhallow Remodeling Orlando Is Union Park’s Preferred Kitchen Remodeling Company
Union Park homeowners tend to ask the same three questions before they sign anything: what does this cost, will you actually show up, and what happens if something goes wrong six months later. Those are fair questions. We answer them in writing. Every kitchen remodel in Union Park gets a written price up front, a defined arrival window, and a written guarantee on the work. It is called the 365-Day Done Right Promise, and it says that if the work fails inside a year, we come back and fix it at no charge. Trevor Nash runs our Orlando operation, and he would rather hand you a number that holds than a verbal ballpark that does not.
We also answer the phone. A live person picks up twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. No answering service, no voicemail maze. When you call about a kitchen remodel near Dean Road or somewhere off University Boulevard, you reach a person who can schedule a visit and talk through pricing. Our technicians are background-checked and arrive in uniform, so you always know who is walking into your home.
Styles & brands we work with
Kitchen Remodeling Company in Union Park
A Kitchen Remodeling Company in Union Park does more than swap cabinets and lay tile. It deals with the structural reality of 1970s and 1980s concrete block ranch houses. Many of these homes have original CMU walls and gable roofs that were never reinforced for modern high-wind standards. When a remodel opens an exterior wall, the county inspector is going to check for hurricane ties, strapping, and reinforced corners before drywall goes up. A full remodel here runs $14,000 – $45,000. That span covers everything from a layout refresh to a full gut with a new island and load-bearing wall removal.
What a Full Remodel Includes
A full kitchen remodel in Union Park usually includes removing and replacing cabinets, countertops, flooring, backsplash, and often reconfiguring the plumbing and electrical rough-ins. If you are taking out a wall to open the kitchen to the living room, that adds structural work. We pull permits, schedule inspections, and keep the job moving so you are not living without a kitchen longer than necessary.
When a Full Remodel Makes Sense
If your cabinets are failing, your layout is cramped, or you are planning to stay in the house long-term, a full remodel is the better investment. Partial fixes on a forty-year-old kitchen often expose more problems. Our Kitchen Remodeling team sees this regularly in Union Park homes: original wiring that is not up to current code, damp drywall from Central Florida humidity, and cabinets that were never anchored properly to the block walls.
Small Kitchen Remodel in Union Park
A Small Kitchen Remodel in Union Park is the right scope when the layout works but the finishes do not. This typically means new cabinet fronts or full cabinet replacement, new countertops, a fresh backsplash, and sometimes updated flooring. Prices run $9,000 – $20,000 depending on cabinet line and countertop material. If you are in a galley kitchen near Lake Underhill Road and you like where the sink and range sit, this is the job that gets you a new kitchen without moving any walls.
What Stays, What Goes
In a small remodel, we usually keep the plumbing and electrical where they are. That keeps the permit scope smaller and the timeline shorter. You still get a written price and a written guarantee, just like a full remodel. The difference is mostly in drywall, framing, and the amount of labor involved.
Which Materials Hold Up in Union Park
Central Florida humidity means cheap particleboard cabinet boxes swell and sag within a few summers. We install KraftMaid and Wellborn cabinetry, both of which stand up better to moisture. For counters, Cambria, Silestone, and Caesarstone quartz carry their own warranties alongside ours. A small kitchen in Union Park does not mean lower-grade materials. It means a smaller footprint with the same products.
Trusted Brands We Service in Union Park
We work with recognized trade brands because the guarantee behind the work is only as strong as the materials it covers. For Union Park kitchens, that means KraftMaid and Wellborn cabinets, Cambria and Silestone counters, and Kohler or Moen fixtures. For exterior doors and windows that often get replaced during a kitchen remodel, we install Therma-Tru and Mr-Glass products. We keep common components locally sourced so turnaround on corrections or warranty work is fast for Union Park homeowners. If something fails under the 365-Day Done Right Promise, we are back out quickly with the right part.
Common Kitchen Remodeling Problems We See in Union Park Homes
- Wind-load upgrade skipped on the quote: A cheap bid may not include hurricane ties, strapping, or reinforced concrete corners. When demo exposes the old block, the inspector will not sign off, and the change order lands after the wall is already open. Our written quotes include these line items from day one.
- Upper cabinets pulling away from CMU walls: Standard drywall anchors do not hold in concrete block. After Central Florida’s first summer thunderstorm cycle, cabinets can pull loose and damage counters below. We use proper block anchors so the cabinet warranty stays intact.
- Failed permit on an exterior wall opening: Some homeowners try to skip the permit, then drywall goes up and the inspector can not verify the wind-rated framing. The job gets red-tagged, and the homeowner pays twice: once to open the wall again and once to fix it. We pull permits on every job that requires one and schedule the inspections ourselves.
- Moisture damage behind old backsplash: Decades of humidity and cooking steam in an original 1980s kitchen often means the drywall or cement board substrate behind the tile is crumbling. We replace the substrate, not just the tile on top of it. Otherwise the new backsplash cracks within a year.

FAQs About Kitchen Remodeling in Union Park
Your remodeled exterior wall must meet Florida’s current high-velocity hurricane zone standards, which for Union Park means engineered hurricane ties, strapping, and reinforced concrete corners at the new opening. The exact rating depends on your home’s location and exposure, and your plans will specify it. An inspector verifies the strapping before drywall goes up. Our quotes include this structural work, and we handle the permit and inspection scheduling. Call (850) 427-6454 and we will explain what your specific house needs.
No permit is required for a straight cabinet and countertop replacement in Union Park as long as you are not moving plumbing, electrical, or walls. The moment you relocate a sink, add a circuit, or open an exterior wall, you need a permit. We will tell you exactly which scope triggers a permit in your specific project and we pull it ourselves. Call (850) 427-6454 for a free estimate with the permit work itemized.
A wind-mitigation certification proves to your insurer that the new framing, tie-downs, and openings meet current wind standards. That documentation can lower your annual premium, sometimes by a meaningful amount in Central Florida. We provide the paperwork from your remodel, including inspection sign-offs, so you can submit it to your carrier. Ask your insurance agent what credits apply to your policy. Call (850) 427-6454 and we will make sure the documentation is in your file.
You can, but it is not as simple as framing up and rolling on. The original block walls in most 1980s Union Park homes were not reinforced for a second story, so the first-floor walls need retrofitting and the new floor system needs engineered connections. That is structural design work, not just a remodel. We can walk you through what is involved and give you a realistic number. Call (850) 427-6454 for a consultation.
A rough-in inspection is the county check that happens after framing, plumbing, and electrical are in place but before drywall closes everything up. In Union Park, that inspection is what verifies your new hurricane ties and strapping on an exterior wall opening. Without that sign-off, the job cannot legally proceed and your insurance documentation is incomplete. We schedule and pass these inspections as part of every permitted kitchen remodel. Call (850) 427-6454 and we will walk you through the full permit and inspection sequence before you sign.
