Kitchen Remodeling in Sarasota & Manatee County
Kirkplan Kitchen & Bath provides kitchen remodeling in Sarasota and throughout Manatee County, from cabinet refacing and countertop upgrades to complete custom kitchen renovations. We have been a licensed general contractor for 27 years. We build our own cabinet boxes in our local workshop, fabricate countertops in-house and handle plumbing, electrical, demolition and installation with our own team. You work with one company from the first sketch to the final walkthrough.
The kitchen is where the day starts, where homework happens and where guests always end up. A great remodel makes it easier to cook, easier to gather and easier to keep clean, with materials that hold up to Florida humidity instead of fighting it. Whether you need a fresh look or a completely new layout, we design around the way you actually live.
Kitchen Remodeling Built for Florida Homes
A kitchen in Sarasota or Bradenton deals with humidity, heat and steam every day. After 27 years of local installations, we know which materials last here:
· Moisture-stable cabinet materials. We steer clients away from thermofoil, which tends to peel and yellow near the range and dishwasher.
· Non-porous countertops like quartz that resist stains and moisture.
· Ventilation that works, so cooking heat and humidity leave the room.
· Indoor-outdoor flow. Layouts that open toward the lanai, pool or backyard and suit the Florida lifestyle.
· Permits handled correctly for plumbing, electrical and structural changes, by a licensed general contractor (CGC1524705).
Kitchen Remodeling Projects
This project started with a young couple ready to create a home that could grow with their family. Their existing space felt dated and closed off, making everyday living a challenge. Their goal was a space that is updated with current trends but also reflected their personal style.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a full kitchen remodel and kitchen refacing?
A full remodel involves a complete transformation, often changing your kitchen’s layout, moving plumbing or electrical lines, and installing entirely new cabinet boxes. Kitchen refacing is a “smart makeover” where we keep your existing, sturdy cabinet boxes but replace all the doors, drawer fronts, and hardware with fresh styles. It’s an ideal way to get a brand-new look with less mess and a faster turnaround.
Can you help with the design phase, or do I need to have a plan ready?
We love starting from scratch with you. Our process begins with an initial consultation where our designers listen to your vision and offer expert advice on layouts and materials. We handle the technical survey and planning to ensure your new kitchen is as functional as it is beautiful.
Do you handle the plumbing and electrical work as part of the remodel?
Yes. We are a one-stop shop. Our team manages the entire project, including demolition, build work, and the essential technical details like plumbing and electrical updates. You won’t have to worry about coordinating with multiple outside contractors—we handle the heavy lifting from start to finish.
What kind of materials do you offer for cabinets and countertops?
We pride ourselves on variety and quality. From locally built custom cabinetry and modern textured laminates to premium granite, quartz, and quartzite countertops, we source materials that fit both your aesthetic and your lifestyle. We even help you select the perfect slab to ensure the final result “wows” you every time you walk into the room.
Can Kirkplan help with specialty spaces like butler pantries or outdoor kitchens?
Absolutely. We specialize in custom solutions that extend beyond the main kitchen. Whether you want to add a functional butler’s pantry for entertaining or a weather-resistant outdoor kitchen designed to handle the Florida sun and humidity, we have the experience to create a seamless, cohesive look for your home.
Where can I see your work and material samples in person?
We invite you to visit our showroom in Sarasota. There, you can explore different kitchen styles, feel the textures of our finishes, and speak directly with our team to get expert guidance on your specific project.
What financing options are available?
We offer flexible financing solutions through trusted partners, subject to credit approval, to make your remodeling project more affordable. Contact us for more details.
