Kitchen Remodeling
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 showrooms in Sarasota and Bradenton. 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.
