Kitchen remodels for Lakewood Ranch homes, under one licensed contractor
Lakewood Ranch is a master-planned community, and that shapes the kind of kitchen work we do here. Most of these homes were finished in the last decade or two with builder-grade kitchens: a standard cabinet package, laminate or entry-level stone counters, and a closed layout that separates the cook from everyone else. The bones are good and the houses are well built, but as families settle into villages like Country Club East, Greenbrook, Esplanade, and Polo Run, the kitchen is usually the first room they want to bring up to the level the rest of the home already lives at.
The remodel that comes up most out here is opening the kitchen to the great room so it works for how Lakewood Ranch families actually entertain. That often means taking down a wall, and because these are newer two-story and open-truss homes, that wall may be carrying load. We handle that the right way: proper engineering, the permit pulled, and the beam sized and installed to Florida code, not a guess. From there it is custom cabinetry, a stone island built for gathering, an upgraded appliance layout, and the lighting and electrical to support it, all coordinated by one licensed contractor instead of a stack of subs you manage yourself.
Because Lakewood Ranch is governed by an HOA and architectural review, we plan the project around the rules from day one and provide the spec sheets and drawings your review board asks for. Whether you are in one of the established gated villages or a newer neighborhood off the main corridor near Waterside Place, you get the same thing: a full written scope, materials, timeline, and price before any demo starts, every permit pulled and inspected, all under one licensed contractor. This is a higher-end kitchen market, and we treat it that way.

Your whole kitchen remodel, under one licensed contractor
The kitchen is the project that changes how a whole house feels, and the one where coordination matters most. Cabinets, countertops, tile, lighting, electrical, and plumbing all have to land in the right order, and when that work is split across separate subcontractors you manage yourself, that is where kitchens stall and budgets drift.
Hildebrand manages the entire kitchen remodel for Lakewood Ranch homeowners under one licensed contractor: layout and design, cabinets, countertops, tile, lighting, electrical, and plumbing. We can open up a closed-off kitchen, including removing load-bearing walls with proper engineering and permits. Most kitchens run 4 to 8 weeks depending on scope and cabinet lead times. You get the full plan in writing up front, with no change-order surprises later.

Lakewood Ranch kitchen remodel questions, answered
How long does a kitchen remodel take?
Most kitchens are 4 to 8 weeks from demo to final cleanup, depending on the scope, cabinet lead times, and inspections.
Can you open up a closed-off kitchen in a Lakewood Ranch home?
Often, yes. Many Lakewood Ranch homes have a wall between the kitchen and the great room, and that wall may be load-bearing. We handle it the right way: proper engineering, the permit pulled, and the beam sized and installed to Florida code. We confirm what is structural before any demo and price it up front so there are no surprises.
Do you handle HOA and architectural review requirements?
Yes. Lakewood Ranch is an HOA-governed, master-planned community with architectural review. We plan the project around the rules from the start and provide the spec sheets and drawings your review board asks for, so the approval side does not stall your remodel.
Can I stay in my home during a kitchen remodel?
Most clients do. We seal off the work area to control dust. You will lose the kitchen for the duration, so plan a temporary setup with a microwave, fridge, and sink elsewhere in the house.
Do you offer free estimates?
Yes. In-home consultations and written estimates are free. Call or text (941) 284-2218 to schedule.
Will the price change once you start?
We put the full scope, materials, timeline, and price in writing before any work begins. If something genuinely unexpected comes up behind a wall, we talk to you and get your approval before we do anything, never after. No change-order surprises.
Do you handle permits?
Yes. As a licensed Florida general contractor we pull every required permit and meet every Florida Building Code inspection. You do not have to coordinate any of that with the county yourself.
Are you licensed and insured in Florida?
Yes. Hildebrand Construction & Remodeling is a Florida Certified Building Contractor, license CBC1257253, and fully insured. We have been Florida-licensed since 2009, and Josh has 22 years of hands-on construction experience. You can verify our license at myfloridalicense.com.
