Kitchen Remodeling in Longwood, FL
Designed in 3D, permitted with the right Seminole County or city office, and built by a licensed Florida general contractor that also holds its own plumbing license.
Kitchen remodel projects in Longwood
A lot of Longwood kitchens date from the 1970s and 1980s, when the kitchen was its own room with a soffit over the upper cabinets, a breakfast area and a pass-through to a separate family room. In larger homes around Sweetwater Oaks and Sabal Point, owners usually want the opposite: remove the soffit, take cabinets to the ceiling, open the wall to the family room and center the space on a big island.
What changes for a kitchen remodel in Longwood
Soffits in Longwood kitchens often hide ductwork, plumbing vents or wiring, so we open and inspect them before promising a clean ceiling; sometimes ducts can be rerouted, sometimes a smaller bulkhead stays. These homes are on slabs, so a sink or prep sink in a new island means trenching concrete. Depending on the address, the permit goes to the City of Longwood or Seminole County, and we file whichever applies.
Local details we plan around
- Much of the Longwood mailing area, especially 32779, is unincorporated Seminole County, so the county, not the city, issues those permits.
- Large 1970s and 1980s homes often have sunken rooms and soffits; removing a step-down or soffit changes flooring, ductwork and lighting plans.
- Mature oak canopy means leaves, roots and shade around many homes, so we plan dumpster and delivery placement to protect driveways and trees.
- Homes in the historic district near Church Avenue are older wood-frame construction, so ask city planning staff whether exterior changes need design review before you plan an addition.

Scope
What the work includes
In-home measure and design
We come to your home, measure every wall, window and opening, note where the plumbing, gas and electrical run today, and talk through how you actually cook and use the room.
3D design rendering
Your measurements become a 3D model of the new kitchen, so you can see the layout, cabinet heights, island size and finishes before anything is ordered or torn out.
Cabinets
European-style frameless cabinets and custom cabinetry are our specialty, with framed options when they suit the house. Storage inserts, soft-close hardware and tall pantry units are planned into the design.
Countertops and backsplash
Quartz, granite, quartzite, marble or solid surface, templated after the cabinets are set. We coordinate sink and cooktop cutouts, seams and the backsplash tile so everything lines up.
Plumbing under our own license
Sink moves, island sinks, dishwasher and ice maker lines, gas line work for a new range location and fixture installation are handled under our Certified Plumbing Contractor license, not handed off.
Electrical and lighting
New circuits for appliances, code-required GFCI protection, recessed and under-cabinet lighting, pendants over an island and outlet placement planned around how you work at the counter.

FAQ
Kitchen Remodeling in Longwood: questions
Do not see your question? Call us or send the estimate form and we will answer it on the phone.
How long does a kitchen remodel take in Longwood?
Most full kitchen remodels take 6 to 10 weeks of construction once materials are on site, following design, selections and permitting. Removing a soffit that holds ductwork, or opening a wall in a larger 1980s home, can add time for HVAC rerouting or beam work, and we build that into the schedule from the start.
Is my Longwood home permitted by the city or by Seminole County?
It depends on whether the parcel is inside Longwood city limits. Many homes with a Longwood address, particularly in 32779 around Sweetwater Oaks, Sabal Point and Wekiva Hunt Club, are in unincorporated Seminole County, which means the county Building Division issues the permit. We check the property appraiser tax district at the first visit and file with the right office.
Can you remove a sunken living room during a Longwood remodel?
Usually yes. A sunken room is a lower section of the slab, and it can be filled and leveled to match the rest of the house, so new flooring runs continuously. We check for plumbing, ductwork or drainage in that area first, and the change is typically part of a permitted remodel rather than a separate project.
What is the average cost to remodel a kitchen in Orlando, Florida?
There is no honest single average, because a refresh that keeps the layout and a full remodel that moves plumbing through the slab are very different projects. The cost is set by layout changes, cabinet construction and linear footage, countertop material, appliances, lighting and permits. We give a written estimate after measuring your kitchen at home. Our kitchen remodel cost guide explains typical ranges and what each level includes.
How long does a kitchen remodel take?
Most full kitchen remodels take about 4 to 8 weeks on site once materials have arrived. Design, selections and ordering usually add several weeks before demolition. Kitchens that keep the existing layout finish faster; moving a sink across a slab, opening a wall or waiting on custom cabinets adds time. We give you a schedule before work starts and keep you updated as it moves.
Do I need a permit to renovate my kitchen in Florida?
You usually need a permit when the remodel changes plumbing, electrical, gas, structure or the layout. Cosmetic, like-for-like work such as paint, flooring, or cabinets and countertops replaced in the same spot without plumbing changes generally does not require one, but your city or county building department decides. As a licensed general contractor, we pull the permit and handle the inspections.
