Kitchen Remodeling in Apopka, FL
Designed in 3D, permitted with the right Orange County or city office, and built by a licensed Florida general contractor that also holds its own plumbing license.
Kitchen remodel projects in Apopka
Apopka kitchen remodels split by age. In older homes near downtown and around Errol Estate, the kitchen is often a closed room with a low soffit, a small window and limited counter space, and owners want it opened to the family room. In the newer subdivisions along the 429, the kitchen is already open and has an island, but with builder cabinets, base granite and a basic lighting plan that owners want to replace with better materials.
What changes for a kitchen remodel in Apopka
For older Apopka kitchens, the work is structural and plumbing: checking whether the wall to the family room carries roof load, trenching the slab if the sink moves and upgrading the electrical panel. For newer homes, it is mostly cabinets, counters, backsplash, lighting and sometimes extending the island. Permits go to the City of Apopka or Orange County depending on the parcel, and we work within the HOA's rules in newer communities.
Local details we plan around
- Wekiwa Springs, Zellwood, Plymouth and Clarcona are unincorporated Orange County, so permits there go through the county, not the City of Apopka.
- Newer builder homes often have sound structure but entry-level finishes, so many projects are upgrades to flooring, cabinets and showers rather than layout changes.
- Older homes near downtown and Errol Estate may still have original cast iron drains under the slab, best scoped before new tile goes down.
- Two-story production homes put baths over living space, so we take extra care with shower waterproofing and testing.

Scope
What the work includes
In-home measure and design
We come to your home, measure every wall, window and opening, note where the plumbing, gas and electrical run today, and talk through how you actually cook and use the room.
3D design rendering
Your measurements become a 3D model of the new kitchen, so you can see the layout, cabinet heights, island size and finishes before anything is ordered or torn out.
Cabinets
European-style frameless cabinets and custom cabinetry are our specialty, with framed options when they suit the house. Storage inserts, soft-close hardware and tall pantry units are planned into the design.
Countertops and backsplash
Quartz, granite, quartzite, marble or solid surface, templated after the cabinets are set. We coordinate sink and cooktop cutouts, seams and the backsplash tile so everything lines up.
Plumbing under our own license
Sink moves, island sinks, dishwasher and ice maker lines, gas line work for a new range location and fixture installation are handled under our Certified Plumbing Contractor license, not handed off.
Electrical and lighting
New circuits for appliances, code-required GFCI protection, recessed and under-cabinet lighting, pendants over an island and outlet placement planned around how you work at the counter.

"It is a pleasure to recommend Prime Construction / Kitchens for any of your home remodeling needs. Prime Construction helped me diagnose a problem with a wall in my garage related to a window leak. Prime Construction shared with me how I could address the issue myself and saved me the cost of a dispatch by their team. They were only concerned with helping me resolve my issue. I give my full recommendation to Prime Construction. Thank you"

FAQ
Kitchen Remodeling in Apopka: questions
Do not see your question? Call us or send the estimate form and we will answer it on the phone.
How long does a kitchen remodel take in Apopka?
Most full kitchen remodels in older Apopka homes take 6 to 10 weeks of construction after design, selections and permitting. Upgrades in newer homes that keep the layout often take 4 to 6 weeks once cabinets and counters are ready. Cabinet lead time is usually the longest wait, so we order once your selections are final.
Who issues building permits for my Apopka home?
If your property is inside Apopka city limits, the City of Apopka Building Safety division issues the permit through its online portal. If it is in unincorporated Orange County, such as Wekiwa Springs, Zellwood, Plymouth or Clarcona, the Orange County Division of Building Safety issues it through Fast Track. We check the property appraiser record and file with the right office.
Is it worth upgrading the builder finishes in a new Apopka home?
For many owners, yes, because the structure, roof and systems are new and the upgrade money goes straight into the finishes you see and use. The most common Apopka upgrades are replacing carpet with porcelain tile or waterproof plank, swapping builder cabinets and counters, and turning a fiberglass tub into a tiled shower. We design these so they do not affect any builder warranty items you still have.
What is the average cost to remodel a kitchen in Orlando, Florida?
There is no honest single average, because a refresh that keeps the layout and a full remodel that moves plumbing through the slab are very different projects. The cost is set by layout changes, cabinet construction and linear footage, countertop material, appliances, lighting and permits. We give a written estimate after measuring your kitchen at home. Our kitchen remodel cost guide explains typical ranges and what each level includes.
How long does a kitchen remodel take?
Most full kitchen remodels take about 4 to 8 weeks on site once materials have arrived. Design, selections and ordering usually add several weeks before demolition. Kitchens that keep the existing layout finish faster; moving a sink across a slab, opening a wall or waiting on custom cabinets adds time. We give you a schedule before work starts and keep you updated as it moves.
Do I need a permit to renovate my kitchen in Florida?
You usually need a permit when the remodel changes plumbing, electrical, gas, structure or the layout. Cosmetic, like-for-like work such as paint, flooring, or cabinets and countertops replaced in the same spot without plumbing changes generally does not require one, but your city or county building department decides. As a licensed general contractor, we pull the permit and handle the inspections.
