Kitchen Remodeling In St. Petersburg

We remodel St. Petersburg homes from Old Northeast and Historic Kenwood bungalows to waterfront condos downtown. Every kitchen remodel is built to current Florida Building Code, with materials and finishes chosen to hold up to Tampa Bay humidity and coastal salt air.

St. Petersburg sits in Pinellas County, so we handle the permits and inspections Pinellas County requires and coordinate scheduling and trade work through one local team, start to finish.

Your St. Petersburg kitchen remodel is run from our Pinellas Park location at 3851 62nd Ave N Suite A, Pinellas Park, FL 33781. We come to you for a free in-home estimate.

Call (727) 800-4050 to schedule your St. Petersburg consultation with a licensed Florida contractor (CBC1268077).

If you're starting to plan a St Petersburg kitchen project, the questions we hear most are about cost, timeline, and which decisions need to happen first. We'll walk you through all of it at your free in-home consultation, including a clear scope, a written proposal, and what to expect week-by-week during the build.

Depending on scope, a kitchen project touches several trades: cabinet install, countertop fabrication and template, tile and flooring, plumbing rough-in for sink and dishwasher relocations, electrical for lighting and appliance circuits, drywall patching, paint and trim. TGA coordinates the whole sequence so you have one team accountable for the finish.

At TGA Kitchens & Remodeling, we have the team and trade coordination to manage the full scope. From demolition pros to true craftspeople, we help transform your kitchen into a warm, welcoming space that fits your style.

From cozy and inviting to modern and streamlined, we’ll help you plan the right kitchen. Contact our St. Petersburg kitchen remodeling team for a free, no-obligation consultation and we’ll help craft the perfect space.

Initial Consultation and Planning

The first step in a kitchen remodel is getting estimates. We provide free kitchen remodeling quotes and no-obligation consultations to answer questions and understand your vision.

Design and Material Selection

Once you’re ready to move forward, we start design and selections. If you’re unsure where to start, our team helps guide cabinet styles, finishes, countertops, backsplash, flooring, lighting, and layout decisions.

The Remodeling Process

After design is finalized and materials are selected, construction begins. Skilled craftsmen and technicians work efficiently with attention to detail, while we coordinate schedules to minimize disruption.

Final Walkthrough and Completion

The project ends with a final walkthrough to confirm details meet expectations. Any last touches are addressed, and you can begin enjoying your newly remodeled kitchen.

We’ve built relationships with trusted suppliers so you get high-quality materials and strong value. Our team can help transform your space with:

Custom Kitchens

We work with stock, semi-custom, and custom cabinetry in a range of styles, from shaker to modern high-gloss, so you can get the look and storage you want.

Kitchen Countertops

Choose from granite, quartz, and other surfaces to match your practical needs and design goals, with guidance on durability, maintenance, and style.

Backsplashes

From classic subway tile to mosaics and full-height designs, we’ll help you pick a backsplash that complements your counters and fits how you cook.

Appliances

We help ensure your appliance package fits your layout and style, so everything looks cohesive and functions well for years.

We’re happy to partner with professional contractors and suppliers who provide high-quality kitchen products and support.

Most St. Petersburg kitchen remodels in 2026 land in one of three tiers. Across the local market, cosmetic refreshes run $15,000-$30,000, midrange renovations $30,000-$60,000, and full gut projects $60,000-$120,000 and up. Our own numbers sit slightly higher because we build with custom cabinetry and manage the whole job turnkey. Here's what each tier buys in a St. Pete house.

Cosmetic refresh: $20,000-$35,000

This tier keeps your layout and replaces surfaces. Think cabinet refacing or repainting, new quartz counters, a tile backsplash, updated lighting, and fresh paint. It fits St. Pete's mid-century block homes well, where the bones are solid and the finishes are tired. If your 1958 Disston Heights kitchen works but looks dated, start here.

Midrange remodel: $35,000-$70,000

This is the most common tier for St. Pete homes. You get new custom or semi-custom cabinets, stone counters, new appliances, flooring, and updated plumbing and electrical connections. In older houses, this budget usually absorbs the surprises too: galvanized supply lines or an undersized panel found behind the walls. We scope those risks during design so the quote already reflects them.

Full gut: $70,000-$150,000+

Down to the studs: walls moved, layout redrawn, new plumbing and electrical runs, permits and inspections throughout. Bungalows in Kenwood and Old Northeast often need this tier to fit a modern kitchen into a 1920s footprint. In flood-zone neighborhoods, the 49% rule below can cap how far this tier goes. Check it before you commit.

National data supports these ranges. The 2026 Houzz kitchen study puts the median minor remodel at $20,000 and a major one at $55,000. Zonda's latest Cost vs. Value report shows a minor kitchen remodel recouping 112.9% at resale, the best return of any interior project.

Do I need a permit for a kitchen remodel in St. Petersburg?

Yes, whenever the work touches plumbing, electrical, or structure, which covers most midrange and full-gut kitchens. Permits run through Construction Services & Permitting at the Municipal Services Center, One 4th Street N. Since July 1, 2026, Florida's HB 803 exempts jobs under $7,500. That exemption excludes flood hazard areas and any electrical, plumbing, mechanical, gas, or structural work. We pull and manage permits under our license, CBC1268077, so you don't stand in line downtown.

What's the 49% rule, and does it apply to my kitchen?

If your home sits in a flood zone, improvement costs reaching 49% of the building's market value trigger full floodplain compliance. That can mean elevating the house. St. Pete enforces 49%; FEMA's federal floor is 50%. The math counts the structure only, not your land or purchase price, and improvements add up cumulatively across permits. Much of Shore Acres, Riviera Bay, and the waterfront falls in a flood zone. We run these numbers before design so your remodel stays under the threshold when it needs to.

What surprises hide in Kenwood and Old Northeast bungalow kitchens?

Plaster walls, cloth-insulated wiring, cast-iron drains, and pier foundations. All standard issue in 1920s bungalows. Galley footprints are narrow, so smart storage design does more work than square footage. Both neighborhoods carry historic designations. Those don't restrict interior kitchen work, but exterior changes like new window openings can need review. We plan for all of it during the design phase, before demo uncovers anything.

How long does a St. Petersburg kitchen remodel take?

Construction typically runs 6-12 weeks once materials arrive. Cosmetic refreshes land at the short end, full guts at the long end. Before demo, budget added weeks for design, selections, cabinet ordering, and city permit review. You'll get a full schedule, ordering dates included, before work starts.

Will my mid-century St. Pete home need rewiring or replumbing?

Often, at least partially. Homes from the 1950s and '60s, in Shore Acres, Meadowlawn, and Disston Heights, frequently carry galvanized supply lines, cast-iron drains, or undersized electrical panels. A kitchen remodel is the cheapest moment to fix them, since the walls are already open. We check for these during design and price them upfront, not as mid-project change orders.

Can I see my new kitchen before you build it?

Yes. Every project starts with a photorealistic 3D design of your actual kitchen. You approve cabinets, counters, layout, and lighting on screen before demolition. Decisions made on paper cost far less than decisions made mid-construction, which is why we won't start without the design signed off.

Honest geography first: these two projects sit just outside the St. Petersburg city limits. They're close enough that the housing stock, flood rules, and permitting climate match what you're facing.

Kenneth City kitchen and living area renovation

Kenneth City is a small town bordered by St. Petersburg, with the same 1950s block construction as the St. Pete streets around it. We remodeled the kitchen and the adjoining living area as a single project, designed together in 3D first. Treating both rooms as one space kept finishes, lighting, and sightlines consistent. That's the usual weak point when kitchens get remodeled in isolation.

St. Pete Beach kitchen and bath project

Across Boca Ciega Bay, we completed a kitchen and bath remodel on the barrier island. Nearly all of St. Pete Beach sits in a flood hazard area, so improvement-value thresholds shape every scope decision there. That same discipline, pricing the work against the rules before designing it, carries into St. Pete's own waterfront streets.

Both projects were designed at our Pinellas Park Design Center, 3851 62nd Ave N, a short drive from most St. Pete neighborhoods. Our Google profile holds a 4.9-star rating across 110+ reviews. Call (727) 800-4050 and we'll talk through how either scope maps to your house.
