What Our Clients Say

"I rarely give 5 star reviews, but Dave and Chris deserve it. I had an idea that they brought to reality using creative, cost effective, and collaborative decisions. My older home kitchen had 3 ceiling heights, strange electric lights, and it made me feel like we had to cook in a cave. During the remodel, they were kind, clean, and careful, especially with our cats. I work from home and they talked with me to coordinate my needs with theirs so we could both be productive with noise or electric. We love the results."

"Highly recommend Dave and his team for any kitchen remodeling job. He put in new countertops, backsplash, sink and faucet. Everything came out perfect! Dave is very conscientious and has a great disposition. He communicated well and it was great to work with him!"

"Dave and the Gulf Coast Kitchen team are phenomenal! I had a super tight turnaround time for this project as I had come down from Canada to oversee a renovation project rebuilding after we had a mold issue. In the final week, we realized the bathroom countertop we had tried to save was not going to work and needed a replacement ASAP. I was leaving at the end of the week, and Dave was super flexible and fit me in to finish the project within a few days. I called him on Monday afternoon and he was on site in Apollo Beach Tuesday morning to assess the countertop. He provided a few samples over text and after I selected the countertop he said he would install the next day. On his way over on Wednesday, the countertop cracked and Dave quickly provided me with different options and was here on Thursday to install the new countertop. I had also received three quotes for this project and Dave was the most transparent and reasonable with his pricing. He was polite, friendly & professional. Easy and responsive communication via phone and text. If you need any bathroom countertop work in Apollo Beach, I can’t recommend Gulf Coast Kitchens enough. Dealing with contractors can be a pain, but working with Gulf Coast Kitchens was painless. Thanks Dave for making this process easy and completing this project on such short notice. I am thrilled with the results!"

Yes. You do not need to have every detail figured out before getting started. Gulf Coast Kitchens can help evaluate your existing space, discuss how you want it to function and help develop a remodeling plan that brings together the layout, materials, finishes, storage and design elements.

Not necessarily. The right approach depends on the condition of your existing kitchen and what you want to change. Some projects may focus on specific improvements such as cabinetry, countertops, lighting or flooring, while others may require a more extensive redesign. Gulf Coast Kitchens can evaluate the space and help determine which approach makes the most sense.

The timeline depends on the size and complexity of the project, the materials selected and whether plumbing, electrical or structural changes are involved. Smaller renovations may require significantly less time than complete kitchen or bathroom transformations. A more accurate project timeline can be established once the scope of work and material selections are known.

Remodeling costs vary depending on the size of the space, cabinetry, countertops, fixtures, flooring, layout changes and the overall scope of the project. Rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all price, Gulf Coast Kitchens evaluates each project individually so homeowners can understand the options available for their space and budget.

Think about how you currently use your kitchen and what you would most like to improve. Storage, countertop space, lighting, traffic flow, seating, appliance placement and overall style are all worth considering. You do not need to have all the answers before contacting Gulf Coast Kitchens—the planning process can help turn your ideas into a practical remodeling plan.

Start by contacting Gulf Coast Kitchens and telling us about the kitchen or bathroom you would like to remodel. We can discuss your goals, the existing space and the type of improvements you are considering, then determine the best next steps for your project.
