FAQs

Kitchen Remodeling Questions Answered

How much does a kitchen remodel cost in Lakeland, FL? +
Kitchen remodel costs in Polk County typically range from $15,000 to $20,000 for a cosmetic refresh (new paint, hardware, fixtures) up to $60,000 to $85,000+ for a complete gut renovation with custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, layout changes, and new appliances. The biggest cost variables are whether plumbing or electrical is being relocated, the cabinet line you select, and countertop material. Your free consultation includes a detailed written estimate specific to your project.
How long does a kitchen remodel take? +
A cosmetic refresh typically takes 2 to 3 weeks. A full remodel with new cabinetry and countertops runs 4 to 6 weeks. A complete gut renovation with layout changes and plumbing relocation can take 8 to 12 weeks. Timeline is also affected by permit approval speed (3 to 6 weeks in Polk County) and material lead times for custom cabinets.
Do I need a permit to remodel my kitchen in Lakeland? +
Yes. Any kitchen remodel involving electrical, plumbing, or structural changes requires a building permit through the City of Lakeland or Polk County building department. Evangelisto Construction handles the full permit process for you. We never skip permits, since an unpermitted remodel creates serious problems at resale and voids your homeowner's insurance coverage on that work.
What should I think about before starting a kitchen remodel? +
Before calling a contractor, think about how you actually use your kitchen daily, where the workflow breaks down, whether you need more counter space or storage, and if the appliance layout makes sense. Also consider whether you want to keep the same appliance locations, since moving them adds cost. Our free consultation helps you think through all of this before committing to any scope.
Can I stay in my home during a kitchen remodel? +
Yes. Most homeowners stay home during their kitchen remodel. We set up dust barriers, keep pathways clear, and clean the job site at the end of each workday. You will be without a functional kitchen for the duration, so we recommend setting up a temporary cooking station. For gut renovations, some families prefer to stay elsewhere for the first 1 to 2 weeks of heavy demolition.
Cabinet refacing vs. full cabinet replacement: which is right for me? +
Cabinet refacing (new doors on existing boxes) costs less and works well when your existing cabinet boxes are structurally sound and the layout works for you. Full replacement is better when you want to change the layout, need different storage configurations, or existing boxes are water-damaged or poorly built. Doug will assess your current cabinets honestly during the free consultation and give you the pros and cons of both options.
Does Evangelisto Construction do full kitchen remodels or just cabinets? +
We handle everything: cabinet-only installations, countertop replacements, partial remodels, and complete gut renovations from demolition to final inspection. We are a full-service licensed general contractor with our own crews, not a cabinet-only company. We also build home additions and mother-in-law suites. Whatever your project needs, we can build it.
