A kitchen remodel is one of the highest-ROI projects you can undertake, but it also disrupts your daily life. Here is what to expect regarding timelines, costs, and the remodeling process.
Realistic Cost Expectations
In Northwest Florida, a full custom kitchen remodel typically ranges from $35,000 to $85,000+, depending on the size of the space, whether walls are being moved, and the level of finishes.
Major cost drivers include custom cabinetry, high-end stone countertops (quartz or quartzite), luxury appliances, and structural changes like removing load-bearing walls to create an open concept.
The Remodeling Timeline
A full kitchen remodel usually takes 6 to 12 weeks of active construction. However, the planning and material ordering phase can take just as long.
We don't start demolition until all major materials (especially cabinets and appliances) are on hand or have confirmed delivery dates. This minimizes the time your kitchen is out of commission.
The Construction Process
Phase 1: Demolition and structural changes.
Phase 2: Rough-in plumbing, electrical, and HVAC.
Phase 3: Drywall, flooring, and cabinet installation.
Phase 4: Countertop templating and installation (this often causes a 1-2 week pause while the stone is cut).
Phase 5: Fixtures, appliances, backsplash, and final touches.
Sugar Sands Construction manages every step of this process, coordinating our trusted tradesmen to ensure a seamless and high-quality finish.
