Sample insight
Mid-range full kitchen remodels in Florida typically run $50,000–$100,000 in 2026 with semi-custom cabinetry and quartz counters. South Florida coastal markets commonly run 15–25% above this range. Layout changes that move sink, range, or wall openings on slab-on-grade homes add $14,000–$38,000 once permits, slab work, and MEP rerouting are accounted for. (Estimate based on 2024–2025 Florida permit and bid data.)

Pricing reflects 2026 Florida fabricator and dealer ranges with notes on lead-time exposure.
