Kitchen Remodeling in Lutz, FL

It depends on the size of the kitchen, the cabinet and countertop choices, and how much of the layout changes. A cosmetic refresh (paint, backsplash, fixtures) costs far less than a full gut with custom cabinets, new layout, and high-end finishes. We work with a wide range of budgets — what matters is an honest, detailed written estimate for your Lutz kitchen, not a guess off a website. Call us and we'll walk through it with you.

A typical full kitchen remodel takes 4 to 8 weeks from demo to final walkthrough. Cabinet lead times are usually the longest pole in the tent, so we order early and schedule trades tight. We'll give you a real timeline up front and keep you posted if anything shifts.

Usually not. We seal off the work area with dust barriers, keep a clear path through the house, and clean up daily. You'll be without a working kitchen for part of the project — most families set up a temporary station with a microwave, toaster oven, and mini fridge in another room.

Yes. As a Florida Certified General Contractor (CGC 1535379), we pull all required permits and schedule inspections. Lutz is mostly unincorporated Hillsborough County, so permits go through the county. Electrical, plumbing, and structural changes all get permitted properly.

If the cabinet boxes are solid and you like the layout, refacing can save money. But if the layout doesn't work, the boxes are damaged, or you want deeper drawers and modern storage, replacement is the better investment. We'll look at what you have and give you an honest recommendation — not an upsell.

Yes. We walk you through every selection — cabinets, countertops, backsplash tile, flooring, fixtures, paint colors — and tell you straight what holds up in Florida humidity and daily family use versus what just photographs well. You make the calls; we make sure the choices work together and fit the budget.

Sometimes. If the structure and setbacks allow, we can push a kitchen wall out or reconfigure the footprint — but it adds permitting, foundation work, and cost. In most Lutz homes, reconfiguring the existing space and opening it to the family room gets you the kitchen you want without an addition. We'll look at the house and give you an honest read.

Yes. Cheval and the other Lutz custom-home communities are a regular part of our work. These kitchens call for custom cabinetry, stone throughout, and finishes chosen for the house — not off the shelf. We give a detailed written estimate before work starts and coordinate every licensed trade ourselves.
