Fast, Reliable Kitchen Remodeling Across Naples
A full Kitchen Remodeling project in Naples typically runs $14,000 to $45,000, with smaller partial remodels starting around $9,000. The biggest variable is rarely the finish you pick. It’s what hides inside the walls of an older CBS-construction home, and nobody in Naples knows that better than our crews.
We are Groundwork Construction Co. of Fort Myers, and we have walked through countless Naples kitchens where original 1960s wiring was submerged during Hurricane Ian’s storm surge. Before we touch a single cabinet, we inspect for that damage. It sets the whole budget, and we build that reality into your quote from day one. Call us at (844) 638-7249 for a free project estimate that accounts for what’s actually inside your walls, not just what you see.
Why Groundwork Construction Co. of Fort Myers Is Naples’s Preferred Kitchen Remodeling Company
Naples isn’t a generic Florida market. It’s a place where a 1958 block home in Old Naples sits three blocks from a $12 million Pelican Bay estate, and both can have the same corroded Romex behind the drywall. Our reputation here was built on handling that reality without flinching. We dispatch background-checked, uniformed crews who know Collier County’s post-Ian building code amendments cold. When a homeowner on Gulf Shore Boulevard calls because a cabinet installer walked off the job after finding surge-damaged framing, our team is there the next morning with a scope of work and a written allowance already priced in.
We answer every call with a live person, 24/7. Not a voicemail. Not a Monday morning callback. A real human picks up, whether you’re in Port Royal at 9 PM or on Marco Island at 7 AM. That matters when a remodel uncovers a problem that needs a decision before the crew can safely proceed.
Every Naples kitchen we finish is backed by our 730-Day Done Right Promise. If it is not done right, we make it right. It’s one of the longest workmanship guarantees you’ll find on a residential remodel in southwest Florida, and it’s in writing. From foundation to finish line, we combine upfront pricing with 0% financing for 18 months and $1,000 off projects over $10,000, so a major kitchen overhaul in Naples isn’t held hostage by hidden change orders.
Derek Hollenbeck leads a team that has earned trust across the Naples market by treating surprises differently. Most contracts punish you for what’s found behind a wall. Ours anticipate it, with inspection-first protocols and allowances written into the agreement before demolition ever starts. That’s the difference between a quote that drifts and a quote that holds.
Our Kitchen Remodeling Services in Naples
Full Kitchen Remodeling
A complete kitchen renovation in Naples starts by understanding the home’s construction era. A 1970s CBS house near Moorings Bay almost certainly has original wiring that cannot carry a modern appliance load and may have been compromised by saltwater immersion from Ian. We open walls carefully, inspect for corrosion and framing separation from surge uplift, and present a revised scope with line-item pricing before we proceed. Then we handle every phase: structural corrections, rough electrical to current Collier County code, drywall, flooring, and the custom finish work that turns the space into the kitchen you actually wanted.
Kitchen Design & Layout
Naples kitchens in older bayfront neighborhoods often have tight, closed-off layouts that made sense in the 1960s but fight against how people live today. We redesign floor plans to open sightlines, relocate plumbing for island sinks, and rework the electrical layout so your new KraftMaid cabinets and quartz countertops land on walls that are properly reinforced and wired. Our design process includes verifying the current advisory Base Flood Elevation for your parcel, because Collier County’s post-Ian FEMA maps have shifted more than once mid-project.
Quartz & Granite Countertops
Countertop installation in a Naples remodel is rarely as simple as templating and dropping a slab. We frequently find that existing base cabinets in older homes have settled or pulled away from the slab due to surge uplift, and the substrate needs to be leveled and re-anchored before any Cambria or granite surface goes in. Our team handles that structural prep, then installs the stone with the kind of precision that holds up through decades of humidity and seasonal slab movement.
Cabinets & Countertops
When we pair new cabinetry with countertops in a single Kitchen Remodeling in Naples project, the efficiency is tangible. We’re not handing off between separate subs. The same crew that verifies the wall framing and electrical placement installs the Wellborn or KraftMaid cabinets, levels the base, and templates for the stone. It removes the finger-pointing that happens when a cabinet installer blames the countertop fabricator for a half-inch gap.

Trusted Brands We Service in Naples
We spec materials that can handle Naples’s humidity and salt air without warping, delaminating, or losing their finish. Our curated portfolio includes KraftMaid and Wellborn for cabinetry, Cambria and Silestone for quartz surfaces, and Kohler fixtures across sinks and faucets. These are not entry-level builder-grade products. They are selections we stand behind with the same 730-Day Done Right Promise that covers our labor. We keep sample kits in our trucks for Naples appointments, so you can see full-size door profiles and stone slabs without leaving your living room.
Common Kitchen Remodeling Problems We See in Naples Homes
- Surge-compromised wiring hidden behind drywall. Opening a 1960s Naples kitchen wall often reveals Romex that was submerged during Hurricane Ian’s 10-to-15-foot storm surge. It’s corroded, unsafe, and does not meet current Collier County electrical code. Full rewire and panel upgrades are not optional, and they typically add $5,000 to $8,000 and two weeks to the timeline.
- CBS block damage beneath old tile. Removing original tile in a 1950s Old Naples home regularly exposes water-damaged block and anchor bolts so corroded they fail post-Ian wind-load tie-down requirements. A structural retrofit becomes mandatory before any new flooring or backsplash goes in.
- Slab settlement from former mangrove swamp conditions. Much of Naples is built on compacted fill over what was once mangrove swamp. The high water table, often just 18 to 24 inches below grade, causes slab movement that leaves cabinets unlevel and countertops cracked. We correct the substrate before installation, but it must be part of the initial quote.
- Mid-project FEMA flood map revisions. Collier County’s post-disaster map amendments are still being finalized. We have seen kitchen remodels where the advisory Base Flood Elevation shifted after permits were pulled, requiring a full structural re-evaluation. We verify the current BFE for your parcel before any footing or wall work begins, so you’re not six months into a project with a voided permit.
Pricing for Kitchen Remodeling in Naples, FL
Kitchen remodeling in Naples is priced honestly, with the understanding that older CBS homes carry different cost drivers than newer Pelican Bay or Grey Oaks properties. Below are the ranges we quote across the market. Every estimate is free and every number is upfront. No-hassle pricing means the figure you see on your written, line-item quote is the figure you pay.
| Service | Price Range (Naples, FL) |
|---|---|
| Full Kitchen Remodeling | $14,000 - $45,000 |
| Small Kitchen Remodel | $9,000 - $20,000 |
| Cabinet Installation | $4,000 - $13,000 |
| Quartz & Granite Countertops | $2,000 - $6,500 |
| Backsplash Installation | $800 - $2,500 |
| Kitchen Island Installation | $3,000 - $10,000 |
The range shifts based on what we find when walls are opened. A 1972 home near Aqualane Shores with original electrical will land toward the upper end of full-remodel pricing. A 2005 poured-concrete home in Grey Oaks with intact wiring and no surge history typically falls in the middle. We write allowances into every contract so that if we uncover a problem, the cost to fix it is already agreed upon, not sprung on you as a surprise. Call (844) 638-7249 to schedule your free estimate and get a fixed price that accounts for your specific home.

FAQs - Kitchen Remodeling in Naples
We inspect before we demolish. When we open a wall and find surge-damaged wiring, corroded anchor bolts, or framing that no longer meets wind-load code, we stop work, document the condition with photos, and pull a revised scope from the allowance already written into your contract. You approve a line-item price before we touch the repair. In practice, that means a homeowner in a 1960s CBS house in Old Naples knows within 24 hours exactly what the electrical rewire will cost and how it affects the timeline. Call (844) 638-7249 to discuss what code upgrades your specific home might trigger.
Not necessarily, but it depends on your current Base Flood Elevation and the scope of the remodel. Collier County’s post-Ian FEMA maps are still being amended, and your parcel’s advisory BFE may have changed since the last time you checked. A cosmetic kitchen update that does not alter structural components or the building footprint usually will not trigger elevation requirements. A full gut renovation that involves foundation work or changes to load-bearing walls might. We verify the current advisory BFE for your specific parcel before we open a permit. Get an exact assessment by calling us for a free consult.
Yes, in most cases. If the existing island cabinets are structurally sound and the electrical to the island meets current code, we can reface or replace cabinet fronts, install new quartz or granite countertops, and update fixture finishes to match the rest of the kitchen. The catch is that Pelican Bay homes built before 2000 sometimes have island electrical that no longer meets GFCI and dedicated-circuit requirements. We will verify that before ordering any materials, so you’re not paying for stone that can’t be installed legally. A full tear-out is only necessary when the underlying framing or wiring is too far gone to salvage.
Surge-compromised electrical is the single largest hidden cost we encounter. A 1970s CBS home in a neighborhood like the Moorings almost certainly has original wiring that was submerged during Ian. When we open the wall, corroded Romex and a panel that no longer meets code force a full rewire and service upgrade. That’s a $5,000 to $8,000 line item that most generic quotes ignore completely. Our contracts include an electrical allowance precisely because we expect to find this in Naples homes of that era, so you are not blindsided.
We pull permits immediately after the contract is signed and the design is locked, and we handle every submission, revision, and inspection internally. Our team has a working relationship with the Collier County building department and understands the specific documentation reviewers are flagging on post-Ian remodels, particularly around electrical, wind-load tie-downs, and flood elevation certificates. We front-load the paperwork so that permit approval does not become the bottleneck. Most of our Naples kitchen remodels have permits in hand before demo day arrives.
