Kitchen Remodeling in Tampa

We remodel Tampa homes from South Tampa and Hyde Park bungalows to newer builds in New Tampa. 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.

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

Your Tampa 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 Tampa consultation with a licensed Florida contractor (CBC1268077).

If you're starting to plan a Tampa 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 Tampa 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 Tampa kitchen remodels in 2026 land between $35,000 and $70,000. The full spread runs from about $20,000 for a true refresh to $150,000 and up for a custom gut. These figures come from our recent Tampa Bay projects, not national averages, and Bay-area labor costs more than the national norm.

Refresh: $20,000 to $35,000

Keep your layout and your cabinet boxes. This tier buys new quartz counters, a tile backsplash, sink and faucet, lighting, paint, and hardware. Refacing or repainting cabinets fits; new custom boxes don't. It works best in kitchens under 15 years old where the layout already functions. Nothing behind the walls changes, so it's also the fastest tier.

Midrange: $35,000 to $70,000

This is where most Tampa remodels land. You get semi-custom cabinets, quartz or granite counters, new appliances, tile flooring, and reworked lighting on a mostly unchanged footprint. Wherever we open walls, plumbing and electrical get brought to current code. For scale: on a $45,000 project, cabinets take roughly 29% of the budget and installation labor about 17%.

Custom: $70,000 to $150,000+

A full gut. Walls come down, islands go in, and plumbing and electrical move to serve the new layout. Cabinetry is built to the room, and appliance packages step up. Opening a load-bearing wall, common in South Tampa ranch homes, adds engineering and a longer permit review. Carry a contingency at this tier; older houses keep secrets until demo.

Two things push any tier higher: layout changes and the age of the house. Budget for permits too, City of Tampa fees typically run $200 to $950 by scope, plus Florida's 2.5% state surcharge.

Do I need a permit for a kitchen remodel in Tampa?

Yes, if the work touches plumbing, electrical, gas, or walls, and most real remodels do. The City of Tampa runs permitting through its Accela Citizen Access portal under Construction Services. As your contractor, we file the application, pay the fees, and schedule every inspection through Accela. You can track permit status on the portal yourself, no login needed. Purely cosmetic swaps, paint, hardware, some counter replacements, usually skip the permit.

How long does a Tampa kitchen remodel take?

Plan on 6 to 12 weeks of construction once materials arrive. Design, cabinet lead times, and City of Tampa permit review add several weeks before that. Cabinets usually set the pace. We don't start demo until yours are in hand, so the construction clock runs clean.

Can we live in the house during the remodel?

Most of our clients do. Before demo, we set up a temporary kitchen, fridge, microwave, coffee station, in another room. Plastic dust barriers and floor protection keep the mess contained. Water and power shutoffs get announced a day ahead, never sprung on you. The hardest stretch is between demo and cabinet install, when the room sits bare.

What surprises hide inside older Tampa homes?

Cast iron drains and aluminum wiring top the list. Seminole Heights bungalows and 1950s-70s ranch homes often have cast iron drain lines rusting from the inside out. Houses wired from the mid-1960s to early 1970s may carry aluminum branch wiring, which many insurers now flag. We check for both before demo and price a contingency. A surprise becomes a line item, not a crisis.

How does your 3D design process work?

You see your finished kitchen in photorealistic 3D before we order a single cabinet. We model your room's actual dimensions, then render the cabinets, counters, backsplash, and lighting. You approve or revise the design while changes still cost nothing. What you sign off on is what we build.

How do Tampa homeowners pay for a remodel?

Most of our clients use cash, a HELOC, or a home equity loan. Rising Tampa home values have made the equity routes common. Renovation loans work too, though rates and closing costs vary by lender. Tell us your number at the first design meeting, and we'll build the scope to fit it.

TGA Kitchens & Remodeling holds Florida Certified Building Contractor license CBC1268077, and we're bonded and insured. That license class covers structural work, so moving a wall in your Tampa kitchen sits inside what the state certifies us to do.

Verify it in about two minutes. Search CBC1268077 at MyFloridaLicense.com, the state's DBPR database. You'll see the license status, the qualifying agent, and any discipline history. We'd rather you check before you call.

Here's why it matters in Tampa. The city issues remodel permits only to licensed contractors or to owners building for themselves. When we pull your permit under CBC1268077, inspections, corrections, and code compliance are legally our responsibility, not just a verbal promise. Hire unlicensed labor and that liability shifts to you, including injuries on your property and problems at resale.

A valid license also connects you to Florida's Homeowners' Construction Recovery Fund; unlicensed work gets no such backstop. Our design center is in Pinellas Park, a short drive across the Gandy from South Tampa. Check our 110+ Google reviews, we hold a 4.9-star rating, then check the license.
