AfterFull Kitchen Remodeling in Tampa, FL
A full kitchen remodel in Tampa typically runs between $45,000 and $90,000 for a complete gut and rebuild, with most mid-range projects in neighborhoods like Westchase, Carrollwood, and South Tampa landing in the $55,000 to $70,000 range. That price covers demolition down to the studs, new plumbing and electrical rough-in, custom cabinetry, countertops, flooring, and finish work. Bradford Remodeling Co Tampa puts that number in writing before a single tool comes out, so there is no surprise invoice waiting at the end.
We are a full-service Kitchen Remodeling contractor serving Tampa and the surrounding area. If your kitchen is functionally obsolete, cramped, or falling apart, a full remodel is the job that fixes all of it at once. Give us a call at (941) 655-9297 and we will walk you through what your specific kitchen needs and what it will cost. You will get a written price, not a ballpark and a shrug.
When You Need Full Kitchen Remodeling
You know the difference between a kitchen that needs a refresh and one that needs to be taken down to the framing. Here is what full kitchen remodeling actually solves:
- Your layout does not work. The refrigerator door blocks the walkway. The sink faces a wall. There is no landing space next to the range. Moving plumbing and electrical to fix a bad layout is full-remodel territory, not a cabinet swap.
- The cabinets are failing. Particleboard boxes are swelling from Tampa humidity, hinges are pulling out of the faces, and drawer slides are shot. When the cabinets themselves are done, refacing will not save them.
- Water damage has reached the subfloor or studs. In older Tampa homes, a slow leak under the sink or dishwasher can rot the substrate before you ever see it. Once the framing is compromised, you are into a full remodel whether you planned one or not.
- You are reworking the electrical and plumbing anyway. Older Tampa houses, especially in Seminole Heights and Hyde Park, often need panel upgrades, new circuits for modern appliances, and repiping. Do it while the walls are open, not a year after you finished a cosmetic update.
- The kitchen is too small or too closed off. Knocking down a wall to open the kitchen to the living room means structural work, soffit removal, and rerouting mechanicals. That is the definition of a full remodel.
- You are staying in this house for ten or more years. If you are going to live with the kitchen long term, build it for how you actually cook and live, not for the next buyer’s imaginary taste.
Our Full Kitchen Remodeling Process
Here is how a Bradford Remodeling Co Tampa full kitchen comes together, in order, with no mystery between steps, from Kitchen Island Installation to final finishes:
- Site walk and measurements. We come to your home, measure the actual space, and talk through how you use the kitchen. We check the existing electrical panel, plumbing location, and whether the wall you want removed is load-bearing. This is the step where we find the real scope of the job.
- Written scope and price. You get a line-item proposal with materials, labor, and a schedule. The Garrison Standard governs this step: every price is on paper before work starts, and the number does not move at the door. If something changes during demo, we stop, show you what we found, and get your written approval before proceeding.
- Demolition and debris removal. We clear the old kitchen down to the studs and subfloor. The site is kept clean during the process, and debris leaves in a dump trailer, not in your driveway for three weeks.
- Rough-in: framing, plumbing, electrical, HVAC. New partition framing if needed, new supply and drain lines, new circuits, and any ductwork adjustments. This is where permits get closed out with the city of Tampa. We handle the inspections.
- Drywall, flooring, and finish surfaces. Substrate prep, drywall, painting, and flooring installation. Then cabinets go in, countertops get templated and installed, and fixtures are set. We install name-brand materials with manufacturer specs behind them, so you know exactly what you are getting.
- Final walkthrough and written guarantee. You walk the kitchen with the project lead. Any punch-list item gets noted and corrected. You leave the final walkthrough with a signed copy of the 365-Day Done Right Promise in your hand. If the work does not hold for a full year, we come back and fix it at no charge. That is the deal, and it is in writing.
Full Kitchen Remodeling Pricing in Tampa
Here are the honest numbers for a full kitchen remodel in the Tampa market as of 2025:
| Scope | Typical Tampa Range |
|---|---|
| Full gut, mid-grade finishes, 10×12 kitchen | $45,000 – $60,000 |
| Full gut, custom cabinets, stone counters, 12×16 kitchen | $60,000 – $90,000 |
| Load-bearing wall removal (structural) added | $8,000 – $18,000 on top |
| Panel upgrade to 200-amp service | $3,500 – $6,000 on top |
| Custom cabinetry (KraftMaid or Wellborn, fully custom) | $18,000 – $35,000 depending on layout |
What drives the price:
- Cabinet cost. Stock boxes are the cheapest. Semi-custom from KraftMaid or Wellborn runs higher. Fully custom runs the most. The cabinet line is usually the single largest line item.
- Countertop material. Laminate is the entry point. Quartz from Cambria or Caesarstone sits in the middle. Natural stone with a full-height backsplash pushes the top of the range.
- Scope of structural work. Removing a load-bearing wall means a beam, engineering, and potentially footing work. That cost is real and you should plan for it.
- Condition of what is behind the walls. In Tampa, we regularly open up kitchens in older homes and find cast-iron drain lines that need replacement, knob-and-tube wiring, or termite damage in the sill plate. A written contract should include a contingency line for these discoveries, and ours does. You approve any change before we spend your money.
The written price you get from Bradford Remodeling Co Tampa includes all labor, materials, permits, and debris removal. The number on the proposal is the number you pay. Call (941) 655-9297 for a free, no-obligation estimate on your Tampa kitchen.
FAQs – Full Kitchen Remodeling
How much does a full kitchen remodel cost in Tampa, FL?
A full kitchen remodel in Tampa typically costs between $45,000 and $90,000 depending on the size of the kitchen, the cabinet line, and whether structural work is involved. Most of the full gut remodels we do in Tampa neighborhoods like Westchase and Carrollwood land between $55,000 and $70,000. Your price is set in writing before we start, and we do not change it at the door. Call (941) 655-9297 and we will give you a real number for your specific kitchen.
How long does a full kitchen remodel take in Tampa?
Most Kitchen Remodeling Near Me in Tampa, FL projects we complete take six to ten weeks from demo day to final walkthrough, depending on the scope of structural and mechanical work. A kitchen with a load-bearing wall removal and a panel upgrade will run toward the longer end. We give you a schedule in writing with your proposal, and we tell you immediately if a hidden condition changes that schedule.
Is it cheaper to remodel a kitchen or replace the cabinets and counters only?
Replacing cabinets and countertops only is always cheaper in the short term, typically $20,000 to $40,000 less than a full gut. But if your Kitchen Design & Layout is bad, your electrical is undersized, or your subfloor is compromised, a surface-level replacement leaves those problems in place and you will pay to fix them later. A full remodel fixes the whole system at once. We will tell you honestly which one your kitchen actually needs after we walk the site.
What is the 365-Day Done Right Promise?
The 365-Day Done Right Promise is our written guarantee on every full kitchen remodel: if any part of the work fails within one year of completion, Bradford Remodeling Co Tampa returns and corrects it at no charge. The promise is in writing and you get a signed copy at your final walkthrough. The Garrison Standard requires it on every project, no exceptions.
Can you do a full kitchen remodel while we live in the house?
Yes, and we do it regularly in Tampa. We isolate the work area with dust barriers, keep a clean path to the exits, and keep the site squared away at the end of every workday. Expect noise, dust control measures, and a stretch of weeks where cooking is limited to a temporary setup. We will tell you exactly what to expect before demo day.
Do you handle the permits for a Tampa kitchen remodel?
Yes. Bradford Remodeling Co Tampa pulls all required permits for full kitchen remodels in the city of Tampa and Hillsborough County, and we close them out with inspections before your final walkthrough. Permits are included in your written price. You never have to chase a permit office or wonder whether the work was inspected.
What “Squared Away” Looks Like at Job Close
Here is what you should expect when a full kitchen remodel from Bradford Remodeling Co Tampa is done: the cabinets are set level, the doors and drawers are adjusted, the countertop seams are tight, the sink drains without gurgling, the range and hood are wired and vented, and every outlet is dead-front straight. The floors are swept, the job trailer is gone, and the site is clean. Your permit card is signed off. Your written guarantee is in your hand. That is The Garrison Standard, and that is the only way we close a job.
