Kitchen Remodeling

Kitchen Remodeling in Tampa, FL

At Velez Design Consulting & Remodeling, we provide comprehensive kitchen remodeling services for homeowners in Tampa, FL. Whether you're modernizing an outdated layout or creating a custom chef-inspired kitchen, we manage every phase from initial design to project completion with architectural accuracy and attention to local permitting requirements.

Design Planning and Space Configuration

Every kitchen remodel begins with a detailed design and spatial assessment. Our team evaluates the existing kitchen footprint to determine structural limitations, mechanical systems, and code compliance specific to Tampa and Hillsborough County. This ensures the proposed layout aligns with both practical use and aesthetic goals.

Preliminary Concepts and Drafting

Load-Bearing Walls and Structural Changes

When structural adjustments are required—such as removing or shifting walls—our team performs assessments and coordinates with licensed engineers to ensure the integrity of the structure remains intact throughout the renovation. These modifications are engineered and drafted for permit submittal, reducing the risk of inspection delays.

Custom Cabinetry and Storage Integration

Storage planning is an essential element of kitchen remodeling. Velez Design Consulting & Remodeling collaborates with local cabinet fabricators and suppliers to produce tailored storage solutions based on client use-cases and appliance placement.

Base and Wall Cabinet Configuration

We evaluate cabinet dimensions in relation to ceiling height, lighting clearance, and plumbing locations. Designs often include staggered-height cabinets, built-in drawer organizers, and soft-close hardware to optimize usability.

Pantry and Specialty Storage

We incorporate custom pantry options including walk-in pantry enclosures, tall cabinet units, and pull-out shelving where applicable. Specialty options such as appliance garages and vertical tray dividers are also planned in alignment with final elevations.

Countertop and Surface Installation

Countertops are selected based on durability, style, and material compatibility with kitchen use. Popular options in the Tampa market include quartz, granite, and solid surface materials.

Material Coordination and Fabrication

We assist with selecting colors and edge profiles that coordinate with flooring and backsplash materials. Measurements for fabrication are taken after cabinet installation to ensure a seamless fit, and final installations are completed with precision to reduce seams and achieve flush finishes.

Plumbing and Appliance Relocation

Many kitchen remodeling projects require rerouting plumbing lines or upgrading connections to accommodate new sinks, dishwashers, and refrigerators.

Plumbing Layout and Inspection

Our team provides new plumbing diagrams to meet Tampa’s municipal plumbing requirements. Inspections are scheduled after rough-in and prior to drywall enclosure to confirm all pipework complies with code.

Appliance Sizing and Hookup Prep

We verify appliance dimensions to ensure clearance around surrounding cabinets and countertops. Power and water access are coordinated for ranges, hoods, refrigerators with ice makers, and under-sink filtration systems.

Lighting and Electrical Configuration

Electrical upgrades are often necessary when converting fluorescent fixtures to recessed lighting or installing new under-cabinet lights and pendant fixtures.

Circuit Mapping and Load Calculation

Velez Design Consulting & Remodeling performs detailed circuit mapping to avoid overloading panels and ensure compliance with GFCI/AFCI standards. Outlets, switches, and lighting zones are configured in advance to streamline electrical rough-in.

Fixture Layout and Trim Installation

After drywall and paint are complete, final trim-out includes installing pendant lights, recessed LED lighting, and under-cabinet strips based on client preferences and lighting plans.

Flooring and Finish Carpentry

New flooring installation is scheduled near the end of the remodel to minimize risk of damage. Materials are selected based on durability, water resistance, and compatibility with adjacent rooms.

Flooring Options and Prep

We offer installation of tile, engineered hardwood, and luxury vinyl plank (LVP) flooring. Subfloor leveling is completed prior to installation to reduce shifting and creaking over time.

Trim Work and Final Details

Baseboards, crown molding, toe kicks, and decorative trim are added to complete the kitchen aesthetic. All trim elements are painted or stained to match design specifications.

Permit Coordination and Inspection

Velez Design Consulting & Remodeling handles all aspects of the permitting process for kitchen remodels in Tampa.

Permit Application and Submission

Construction plans, material specifications, and structural details are submitted to the City of Tampa for review. Our team monitors application progress and addresses comments or revisions as requested by building officials.

Scheduled Inspections and Documentation

Required inspections—such as framing, electrical rough-in, plumbing rough-in, insulation, and final—are coordinated and completed with proper documentation to satisfy local codes. We ensure the final Certificate of Completion is issued before project closeout.
