Kitchen Remodeling Without the Month-Four Surprise
The room your home revolves around, rebuilt right the first time. Cabinetry, islands, plumbing, and finishes run by one licensed builder, not a patchwork of subs.
Florida Certified Residential Contractor | CRC1333975
Everyone has a kitchen-remodel horror story. Here's why.
The cabinet guy blames the plumber. The plumber blames the countertop template. Week six becomes month four, the "allowance" for fixtures turns out to cover half of what you picked, and you're washing dishes in the bathtub wondering who's actually in charge. Most kitchen remodeling disasters aren't craftsmanship failures. They're coordination failures.
That's the problem Sosnin Builders was built to remove. Your kitchen remodel runs under one licensed residential contractor who plans the entire sequence, from demolition through rough plumbing and electrical, cabinetry, counters, tile, and appliances, before the first cabinet comes off the wall. You approve a written scope with real selections, then watch it happen in order, with updates almost daily.
The result is the kitchen you actually planned: the island with seating for homework hour, the storage that fits how you cook, done once and done correctly.
If the kitchen is part of a larger project, review whole-home remodeling before deciding the scope.
What your kitchen remodel includes
Full kitchen renovations & islands
Layout changes, wall openings, and islands with seating and storage, engineered and permitted when structure or services move.
Cabinetry, counters & finish carpentry
Precise installation of the surfaces you'll touch every day: level, plumb, aligned, with trim work that stands up to a close look.
Plumbing & electrical to code
Sinks, disposals, dishwashers, ranges, and lighting moved or added under permit. This behind-the-walls work decides whether your remodel appraises or haunts you.
Flooring, tile & backsplash
Porcelain, luxury vinyl, and tile installed flat and straight, including the backsplash that pulls the whole design together.
A clean, livable jobsite
Dust containment, daily cleanup, and a sequence that keeps some kitchen function as long as possible. Our reviewers mention the cleanup almost as often as the craftsmanship.
One builder in charge changes everything
When the same licensed contractor owns demolition, trades, and finishes, the excuses disappear. There's no one to hand the blame to. Tony plans kitchen remodels the way he was trained to prep an operating room: everything laid out, sequenced, and confirmed before the first cut. Selections are locked before demo, so "vague allowances" never get the chance to become hidden costs.
It shows in the record: 78 bathrooms and 26 kitchens remodeled across Southwest Florida, a 4.9★ average over 97 Angi reviews, and clients like Richard L. describing cabinets, plumbing, and appliance hookups all landing correctly, on time, from one crew.
Asked before every project like yours.
Cost is driven by scope (refresh vs. layout change), cabinetry grade, counter material, appliance package, and whether plumbing or electrical moves. Anyone quoting sight-unseen is guessing. We review your kitchen and your selections, then give you one written scope with a real number before demolition, not after.
Most full kitchen remodels run about four to eight weeks of construction once demolition starts, assuming materials are on hand. That's exactly why we confirm selections and deliveries before we open a single wall. You'll have the real schedule in writing first.
If plumbing, electrical, or structure changes, the answer is yes in every Southwest Florida jurisdiction. Cosmetic swaps may not. As your licensed contractor we make the call correctly and pull what's required, so the work protects your insurance and resale instead of jeopardizing it.
Partially, for parts of the schedule. We sequence demolition and installs to preserve function where possible, set up a temporary station, and warn you in advance about the genuinely kitchen-less days, so you can plan around them instead of being ambushed.
Usually, yes. Open-concept conversions are one of our most-requested changes. Some walls are load-bearing and need an engineered beam and permit; we assess that up front and include the structural work in the written scope, not as a mid-project surprise.
