How We Work

A clear, step-by-step process that keeps you informed at every milestone.

Our Kitchen Remodel Process

We begin with an in-home consultation to understand your vision, lifestyle, and budget. We assess your current kitchen layout, discuss plumbing and electrical needs, and review any structural or permit requirements specific to your Melbourne Beach property. Next, we outline the work scope and provide a transparent estimate—no surprises mid-project.

Plan & Permit

We prepare detailed designs and handle all building permits—plumbing, electrical, structural. Melbourne Beach and Brevard County permits are submitted early.

Demo & Prep

Careful removal of old cabinetry, appliances, and fixtures. We protect your home and manage debris professionally throughout the project.

Install Systems

Plumbing lines, electrical circuits, gas connections, and structural framing are installed first—all inspected per code before finishes begin.

Finishes & Details

Cabinets, countertops, backsplash, flooring, lighting, and hardware are installed. Your new appliances arrive and are connected safely.

Inspect & Verify

Building inspector approves all work. We walk through your kitchen with you, test every system, and address any final adjustments.

Permit Closeout

Final inspections are complete, permits are closed, and your kitchen is now part of your home's permanent record. Ready to enjoy.

You'll always know what's happening next—and when.

Our Services

We handle every aspect of kitchen renovation—from cosmetic upgrades to full structural rebuilds.

Custom Cabinet Installation

Custom cabinetry transforms storage and style. We build or install frameless and face-frame cabinets tailored to your layout, finish preferences, and budget. Near the historic Melbourne Beach Pier, many homes benefit from smart corner solutions and appliance garage designs. Hardware installation, soft-close hinges, and interior organizers add function.

Countertop & Backsplash Work

Granite, quartz, laminate, or wood countertops—we measure, template, and install with precise seams and undermount sinks. Backsplashes in subway tile, glass, stone, or custom patterns protect walls and define style. Coastal kitchens near Indialantic benefit from moisture-resistant finishes and salt-spray-hardy materials.

Plumbing & Utility Moves

Moving sinks, adding island plumbing, rerouting supply lines, and upgrading drain systems all require permits in Florida. We coordinate with licensed plumbers to ensure code compliance and proper venting. Older homes near Ryckman Park often need supply line updates and new vent stack configurations.

Kitchen Lighting & Electrical

Under-cabinet task lighting, recessed fixtures, pendant lights, and new outlets require electrical permits. We add dedicated circuits for high-draw appliances and install GFCI protection near sinks—all per Florida code. Smart lighting and dimmer upgrades modernize your space safely.

Kitchen Islands & Layouts

Island design—with or without plumbing, electric, and seating—opens up tight kitchens. We handle layout changes, wall removal (when safe), and flooring transitions. Many beachfront cottages and condominiums benefit from open-concept islands that capture ocean views and improve flow.

Why Local Permits Matter

Building permits protect your investment, home value, and safety—especially on the Space Coast.

Plumbing, Electrical & Structural Work Require Permits

In Florida, kitchen remodels that move sinks, add islands with plumbing, upgrade electrical circuits, or alter walls legally require permits. Melbourne Beach is no exception. Building inspectors verify that work meets the Florida Building Code—protecting against fire, flood, and structural failure. We handle all applications and inspections for you.

Unpermitted work can result in stop-work orders, fines, insurance claim denial, and sale delays. We make sure your project is documented and closed properly.

Coastal Building Considerations

Melbourne Beach sits on a barrier island with strict regulations for elevation, wind resistance, and salt-spray durability. Many older homes were built before modern code updates. We assess existing conditions, apply for necessary variances, and ensure your new kitchen meets current Brevard County standards without compromise.

Resale Value & Peace of Mind

A permitted, inspected kitchen increases your home's appraisal and appeal to future buyers. Lenders and title companies review permit history. A complete permit file proves your investment was done right—and is one of the best long-term protections for your property.

What About Kitchen Remodels Involving Structural Changes?

Some kitchen updates involve more than utilities. Removing walls between the kitchen and dining area, enlarging doorways, adding beams or headers, or altering joists all require structural permits and often engineer approval. Melbourne Beach has many single-story homes from the 1960s–1980s where wall removal opens up the kitchen beautifully—but must be done safely and to code.

Cosmetic Updates That Don't Require Permits

Replacing cabinets in the exact spot without touching plumbing or walls, painting, or swapping out light fixtures (without rewiring) are generally cosmetic and don't need permits. Still, confirm with Brevard County Building Department before starting—flood-prone areas and condominiums sometimes have additional requirements.

500+ Projects

Full Permitting Handled

We manage all building, plumbing, electrical, and structural permits from application through final inspection and closeout.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a permit to move my kitchen sink?

Yes, moving a sink requires a plumbing permit in Florida. We'll reroute water supply and drain lines, add or relocate vents if needed, and ensure the work passes inspection before walls are closed.

Can I add an island without permits?

An island without utilities (cosmetic only) may not require permits. But if it includes plumbing, gas, or electrical, permits are mandatory. We'll confirm with Brevard County before you commit.

What happens if I remodel without permits?

Florida building inspectors can issue stop-work orders, force you to tear out completed work, deny insurance claims, and block home sales. After-the-fact permits often cost more and require rework to meet code.

How long does the permitting process take?

Permit review times vary. We submit detailed plans and track approvals closely. Required inspections occur at rough-in and final stages—timing depends on your specific project scope.

What's included in permit costs?

Permit fees typically range from $100–$500+ per permit type (building, plumbing, electrical) and depend on project value and scope. We provide a clear breakdown upfront.

Are Melbourne Beach kitchens subject to coastal building rules?

Yes. As a barrier island town, Melbourne Beach requires wind-resistant materials, elevated finishes in flood zones, and salt-spray-durable hardware. We ensure your kitchen meets all Brevard County coastal standards.
