Layout, cabinetry, and finishes built around how you cook.
A straight answer about how long you’ll be without a kitchen. Full renovations carried from planning through finished delivery, in homes people are still living in.
Kitchens we’ve built.
Nothing on this list is an extra.
The cheap quote leaves out the parts nobody sees. Every range here is a full renovation — old kitchen out, new rough-in, new cabinetry and stone — and the free in-home assessment turns it into a fixed written proposal.

What’s in the proposal is the price. Nothing is added to it unless you approve it in writing.

without a kitchen, from the morning demo starts to the final walkthrough.
The number worth asking for is how long you can’t use the kitchen.
Two to four weeks is ten to twenty working days. The solid run is what every kitchen takes.
What you keep
The rest of the home stays usable throughout. What you will not have for those weeks is a sink and a range. Everything else, we work around.
What we do so it stays that way
A dust barrier at the openings, floors protected along the route in and out, one entrance agreed with you beforehand, hours you have agreed to, and debris hauled off as it is generated rather than stacked in your driveway.
Counters are templated against the cabinets
Once they are in, never from drawings. That wait is the usual reason a kitchen runs long — our fabricators turn one around quickly, which is what keeps the near end of that range real.
Nothing is torn out until the permit is in
We permit, order and take delivery first. Nothing is torn out until the permit is in and every material is on site — and you never call the county.
This is what the weeks without a kitchen buy.
on the concealed rough-in. In writing, handed over at the final walkthrough.
The longer term goes to the layer nobody can inspect.
Once the cabinets are in, the supply and drain connections behind them are the one thing you cannot check and the one thing that has to stay dry. So they carry the longer cover, on purpose.

If something does go wrong, you call the same person who ran your project — not a warranty department.
Common questions.
Pay monthly instead of all at once.
Monthly payment options can be arranged through third-party lenders. STRUX is paid in full for the work; the loan sits between you and the lender. Home equity lines work well too. We go through the options at the assessment, once the scope and the number are real. Tell us how you plan to pay, because budget shapes scope.
Ask about payment optionsCan I live in the house during a kitchen remodel?
Yes. Kitchen renovations happen while you are living in the house, and the rest of the home stays usable throughout. On every job we set a dust barrier at the openings, protect the floors along the route in and out, use one entrance agreed with you beforehand, work within hours you have agreed to, and haul debris off as it is generated rather than stacking it in your driveway. What you will not have for those weeks is a sink and a range. Everything else, we work around.
Do I need a permit for a kitchen remodel in Florida?
Yes for anything that moves plumbing, electrical or walls, and we pull it. The permit, the inspections and the closeout are part of the job. Watch for anyone suggesting you pull an owner-builder permit yourself. That moves legal responsibility for the work onto you.
Can the layout change, or only finishes?
Both. Moving the sink, range or dishwasher, and removing a wall, are priced as add-ons in the selector above. A load-bearing wall is a different category of work rather than a bigger version of the first: it needs an engineer’s calculation and letter, its own permit and inspections, and a beam. We tell you plainly which one you have before anything is priced.
How do I check that STRUX is licensed?
Look us up yourself — Florida’s DBPR license search is public and takes a minute. Search the license number CGC1541514, or search STRUX Development LLC. Check two things: that the status reads Active, and that the name on the license is the name on the contract you are being asked to sign. STRUX is licensed and insured. Do that on every bid you are holding, not only ours.
What deposit do you take, and when is the rest due?
A 10% deposit at signing. After that every payment is tied to something you can see happen: materials when your cabinetry, tile and fixtures are ordered and delivered, a progress payment when work starts, and the final 10% only after the final inspection passes and the permit is closed out.
We keep the deposit small on purpose. A large payment up front is the most common way a homeowner loses money on a renovation, and holding the last payment until the permit is closed is what makes sure someone actually closes it.
When can you start?
Two to four weeks of permitting and ordering, then your start date. We do not open a wall until the permit is approved and every material is on site. We run a small number of projects at a time, deliberately, so the honest answer is the one you get at the assessment: a date, not a season.
Do you use subcontractors?
Yes. In Florida plumbing, electrical and HVAC have to be performed by separately licensed trades, so every general contractor works this way — the question worth asking is who holds the contract.
You have one agreement, and it is with STRUX. One named project lead hires, schedules, supervises and pays the trades, and the workmanship warranty is ours. You never chase a subcontractor, and you never wonder who to call.
Can I supply my own fixtures or appliances?
Yes for finish items: appliances, light fixtures, faucets, sometimes tile. Two conditions: it has to be on site before that stage starts, and the warranty on the item is between you and wherever you bought it. If something arrives damaged or back-ordered, the schedule moves with it.
Rough-in components we supply ourselves. Those are the parts that get closed up inside a wall, and we warranty that layer for five years, which we can only do if we chose the parts.
