About Kitchen Remodels

A Kitchen Remodel Is Really Four Decisions

Countertops have to meet cabinets cleanly, the backsplash has to land on both, and the floor has to transition into every adjoining space. When one company handles all four, those lines are planned from the start instead of negotiated between crews who have never met.

We fabricate your quartz, granite, marble, or porcelain countertops in-house at our Auburndale shop. The same team that templates your kitchen handles the fabrication, so there is no broken telephone between the company that sold you the stone and the company that shaped it.

Most clients pair countertops with custom cabinets in the same showroom visit, since cabinet color and door profile decisions tie directly to countertop selection. A coordinated flooring choice from our Lakeland showroom completes the scope.

We keep the worksite tidy and on schedule, and before we leave we walk every surface with you and confirm you are satisfied. The project is not finished until you say it is.

What We Replace

Surfaces in Your New Kitchen

Countertops

Quartz needs no sealing and is the most forgiving for indoor cooking. Granite and porcelain stand up to heat and, when sealed or UV-stable, to outdoor kitchens.

🚪
Cabinets

Semi-custom cabinetry built to your layout and matched to your countertop and edge profile. Shaker, flat panel, raised panel, and inset options.

Brands: KCD · Tribeca
Backsplash & Tile

Porcelain and ceramic backsplashes installed to TCNA standards, with cutouts and edges finished to match your countertop seams.

Brands: Alpha Tile & Stone · Keystone
Flooring

A kitchen floor takes spills, traffic, and dropped pans. Waterproof LVP is the most popular choice, with tile and engineered hardwood available.

Choosing a Countertop

Match the Material to How You Cook

Each material has different maintenance needs and performs differently under heat and UV. Use the table to narrow your choice before visiting the showroom. Each column links to that material's full detail page.

Florida note: quartz resins are not UV stable and begin yellowing in direct sun within 12 to 36 months. For an outdoor kitchen, porcelain slab is the correct material, with sealed granite as the next-best choice. For natural stone, view the actual slab at our Auburndale showroom before deciding.

Common Questions

Kitchen Remodeling FAQs

For an indoor kitchen, quartz is the most forgiving because it needs no sealing and resists stains. Granite is the most heat resistant. For an outdoor kitchen, choose porcelain or sealed granite, since quartz yellows in direct Florida sun.
Yes, and doing both together is the cleanest way to remodel. We set cabinets first, then template the countertop against them so the fit is exact. One crew handling both means the reveal lines and overhangs are planned, not improvised.
After. Templating once the cabinets are set is the only way to guarantee the countertop matches the real installed layout rather than a drawing. It is a core reason our finished installs sit flush and level.
Yes. We install porcelain and ceramic backsplash tile to TCNA standards, with cutouts and edges finished to align with your countertop seams. Having one crew do the counters and the backsplash keeps those transitions clean.
