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.

Permit requirements depend on the scope and the property's jurisdiction. The City of Tampa handles permits within its jurisdiction; a mailing address outside city limits may use the county or another municipality. TGA verifies the responsible building department and coordinates required permits and inspections for the agreed work.

For planning, read our kitchen remodeling process and construction timeline. Our Kenneth City kitchen and living project is a nearby Tampa Bay design example, with an open layout and coordinated kitchen, dining and living spaces. That project is in Kenneth City; your Tampa scope starts with your own measured room.

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.

Planning a Tampa kitchen remodel starts with your room and the changes you need. A designer or project manager visits the home, depending on the project, to take measurements and discuss your priorities for a TGA 5-Star Estimate. Proposal approval is followed by the Design Phase & Material Selections, then your signoff before work begins.

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.

Home visit and TGA 5-Star Estimate

Depending on the project, a designer or project manager visits your home to take measurements and discuss your needs. That information forms the basis of your TGA 5-Star Estimate.

Proposal approval

Review the proposed scope and ask about the assumptions, allowances and decisions still to resolve. Proposal approval moves the project into the Design Phase & Material Selections.

Design Phase & Material Selections

Review the layout and coordinate the cabinetry, surfaces, fixtures and other selections for your scope. The design and selections come back to you for signoff before work begins.

Client signoff and construction

After your signoff, the project moves toward construction with the required preparation for the agreed scope.

Estimates are free for homeowners. On-market home evaluations cost $400; multifamily and commercial projects are subject to qualification. Contact TGA to confirm the appropriate appointment.

Learn about the TGA team, or use our kitchen planning guide to prepare for the first visit.

Before comparing proposals for your Tampa kitchen, clarify the cabinet, material and layout choices below. Replacing cabinets within an existing layout and reconfiguring the room are different scopes of work.

What happens to the existing cabinets?

Decide whether you want to keep the existing cabinets or replace them. TGA does not provide cabinet refacing. If you want to keep the existing cabinet boxes, compare a qualified specialist’s scope with a full cabinet-replacement proposal.

Which materials and appliances are included?

Identify the cabinetry, counters, flooring, lighting, fixtures and appliances you want included. Ask which selections the proposal is based on and which remain to be chosen. Bring details of any appliances you plan to keep so their size and placement can be discussed.

Will the room layout change?

Distinguish replacing items in their current positions from moving cabinets, appliances or the sink. Discuss storage, circulation and any adjoining spaces included in the work. Ask the team which construction details need to be resolved for the proposed layout.

Keep a list of included items and open decisions when you compare proposals. Your estimate needs to reflect your measured room and requirements, rather than a general market range.

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

Permit requirements depend on the scope and the property’s jurisdiction. The City of Tampa’s Construction Services department handles city permits; an address outside city limits may use the county or another municipality. Confirm the applicable requirements and any exemptions with the responsible authority before work begins. Changes involving plumbing, electrical, gas or structure need particular attention.

How long does a Tampa kitchen remodel take?

The duration depends on the agreed scope, design and selection approvals, material availability and required permits and inspections. Separate preparation from the construction period when reviewing the schedule. Ask which materials must be checked before demolition and how changes or concealed conditions will affect the next milestone.

Can we live in the house during the remodel?

That depends on the work area, access to essential facilities and your household’s needs. Discuss temporary meal preparation, material storage, work-area protection and expected utility interruptions before construction. Agree with the team on what arrangements are included in your scope and how changes will be communicated.

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?

After proposal approval, your project moves into the Design Phase & Material Selections. Review the layout, cabinetry, surfaces and lighting with the design team, and discuss how 3D views can help you evaluate the room. You sign off before work begins. Confirm how requested revisions or changed selections affect your agreement.

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.
