Kitchen Renovation Contractor in Jacksonville, FL

Planning bands generally run about $12,000 to $25,000 and up for a cosmetic refresh, $25,000 to $45,000 and up for a mid-range renovation, $45,000 to $75,000 and up for a full renovation, and roughly $70,000 to $120,000 and up for high-end custom work. Kitchen size, cabinetry tier, countertop material, layout changes, appliances and site conditions all shift the number. These ranges are planning guidance, not quotes.

Scope varies, but a full residential kitchen renovation commonly includes design and layout planning, demolition, cabinetry, countertops, backsplash, flooring, lighting, sink and faucet, appliance coordination, and the plumbing and electrical work the plan requires. All of our work is residential — kitchens in private homes.

It depends on the scope of work. Cosmetic updates are treated differently from work that alters plumbing, electrical, mechanical systems or structure. Permit and code requirements can change and depend on the specific scope, so confirm current requirements with the City of Jacksonville Building Inspection Division and qualified project professionals before work begins.

Duration depends on scope, selections, cabinetry lead time, inspections where required and availability. Planning and cabinetry production often take longer than the construction itself. Realistic schedules are established once scope and selections are defined rather than promised in advance.

We serve Jacksonville and surrounding communities including Ponte Vedra Beach, Nocatee, Saint Johns, Fruit Cove, Julington Creek, Mandarin, San Marco, Riverside, Avondale, Orange Park, Fleming Island and Jacksonville Beach. Service availability varies by location, project scope, provider participation, scheduling and current demand.

Neither is universally better. Engineered quartz is non-porous and needs no sealing, which suits busy family kitchens; granite is natural stone with unique movement and generally wants periodic sealing. Both handle Florida humidity well indoors. The practical decision usually comes down to the look you want, the slab you can actually source, and how much maintenance you are willing to do.

Compare quartz and granite

Often yes, if the floor area allows roughly 42 inches of clearance on each working side. Below that an island crowds the room and creates traffic conflicts. A peninsula is frequently the better answer in a narrow kitchen. Adding power, a sink or a cooktop to an island increases scope because it brings electrical or plumbing into the floor.

Island size and clearance guide

Usually yes, though cost depends on how far the sink moves and what sits below the floor. Slab-on-grade homes, common across much of Jacksonville, require cutting and patching concrete, which is more involved than rerouting through a crawlspace or joist bay. Relocated plumbing is generally permitted and inspected work.

Kitchen layout redesign

Sometimes, but only after confirming whether the wall is load bearing and what runs inside it — plumbing, electrical, ductwork. A load-bearing removal typically needs engineering documentation, a beam, permitting and inspection. That determination should be made before any demolition is scheduled, not during it.

Open-concept kitchen planning

Luxury vinyl plank and porcelain tile are the two most common choices here because both tolerate humidity, spills and sandy foot traffic. Engineered hardwood can work with proper acclimation and moisture control. Solid hardwood is the riskiest option in a humid coastal climate, especially over a slab.

Kitchen flooring options

Full-height cabinetry gains storage and removes the dust ledge, and it generally looks more deliberate in rooms with eight- or nine-foot ceilings. The trade-off is that the top shelf needs a step stool and the taller doors cost more. With very high ceilings, a stacked upper run with glass fronts is often the better-looking solution.

Cabinet planning guide

It depends on the flooring. Tile is commonly installed before cabinets so the field runs continuously. Floating floors such as LVP are often installed after cabinets so the cabinet run does not restrain the floor's movement. The important part is deciding early, because it affects appliance heights, toe kicks and the installation sequence.

Kitchen renovation process

Cabinetry is typically the largest single line item in a full renovation, commonly a third to a half of the total once installation is included. That is why cabinetry tier — stock, semi-custom or custom — moves a planning range more than almost any other decision, and why it is worth settling before selecting finishes.

Test tiers in the cost calculator

Empty the cabinets and pantry completely, set up a temporary kitchen with a fridge, microwave and coffee, clear a path from the entry to the kitchen, and plan for dust protection on adjacent rooms. Decide where deliveries and debris will stage, and make arrangements for pets and anyone working from home during noisy phases.

Renovation timeline and phases

Most homeowners do. Expect several weeks without a working kitchen, dust despite containment, noisy demolition days and periods when water or power is briefly off. Families who cook heavily or work from home sometimes plan a short stay elsewhere during demolition and the roughest trade days.
