Kitchen remodeling in Ocala, FL

A kitchen remodel in Ocala is usually about one of two things: a kitchen that looks tired, or a kitchen that works badly. The first can often be solved with cabinets, countertops, a backsplash, lighting and flooring. The second means changing the layout: moving the sink, adding an island, opening a wall to the living room or reworking a cramped corner. Both are worth doing well, and the second one takes a licensed contractor.

Pro Specialty Services remodels kitchens across Ocala and Marion County under Florida certified general contractor license CGC1538852. We plan the kitchen with you, handle the structural, plumbing and electrical work and permits, and coordinate every trade on one schedule.

Kitchen layout and design in Ocala homes

Good kitchens start with how you use them. At the design visit we measure the room, look at where the plumbing, gas and electrical run, and ask how you cook, who else is in the kitchen and what drives you crazy about the current one. From there we sketch options: keeping the footprint and upgrading everything in it, or reworking the layout for better flow, more counter space and more storage.

Many Ocala homes built in the 1970s through the 1990s have closed-off kitchens that the owners would like open to the family room. Whether a wall can come out depends on whether it carries load and what runs through it. When it is a bearing wall, we design the beam and support it needs and permit the change, rather than guessing.

Cabinets, countertops and finishes for Ocala kitchens

• Cabinets. Stock, semi-custom and custom lines, with soft-close hardware, pull-outs and organizers where they earn their keep.
• Countertops. Quartz, granite and other solid surfaces, templated after the cabinets are set so the fit is exact.
• Backsplash and flooring. Tile and flooring chosen to stand up to Florida humidity and daily wear.
• Lighting. Recessed, under-cabinet and pendant lighting on circuits designed for the new layout.
• Appliances. We plan cabinet openings, circuits and venting around the appliances you choose.

We help you choose finishes that suit the house and the budget, and every selection goes into the written scope so there is no confusion about what is being installed.

Kitchen remodel permits in Ocala and Marion County

Removing or changing walls, moving plumbing, adding circuits for appliances or lighting and changing windows or doors all make a kitchen remodel permitted work. Homes inside city limits are permitted by the City of Ocala, and homes in unincorporated Marion County by Marion County Building Safety, where residential alterations go through plan review before work starts. We prepare the drawings and paperwork, pull the permits and schedule every inspection. Plumbing and electrical are done by Florida-licensed trade contractors under their own permits, scheduled and supervised by us.

Kitchen remodel cost and timeline in Ocala

Kitchen remodel pricing depends on the size of the kitchen, whether the layout changes, the cabinet line, countertop material, appliances, lighting, flooring and what is found behind the old cabinets. Call for today's price, or book a design visit and we will write up the scope with clear allowances for the selections you have not made yet.

Cabinet lead times often set the schedule, so we order early and plan the demolition to start when materials are close. Once work begins, a full kitchen remodel typically takes several weeks on site, longer when walls move or the job includes new flooring through adjoining rooms. We help you set up a temporary kitchen elsewhere in the house and keep you informed at every stage. Financing is available for qualified homeowners through a third-party lender, subject to credit approval.
