Client Story · Old Southeast
“We had multiple contractors tell us that our 100-year old bungalow in Old Southeast should be torn down instead of remodeled. Revolution worked with us on an extensive plan to rebuild structural components and remodel the entire house. Now we have the best house on the block!”
— Sean K., Old Southeast historic bungalow renovation
Cast-iron drain replacement to the street added $14,000 to the project before a single cabinet was installed — caught during pre-construction camera scope, not surfaced as a mid-project surprise.
“Revolution handled our kitchen remodel, bathroom remodel, and rental property repairs. Brent and the team came in under budget. We keep coming back because they deliver every time.”
“The whole team was great, and everyone that worked on my kitchen was polite and helpful. They were very clean and even great with my dogs. Would absolutely use Revolution again.”

Kitchen remodel questions
How much does a kitchen remodel cost in St. Petersburg?
A cosmetic refresh runs $40,000 to $60,000. Mid-range remodels with semi-custom cabinets and stone counters run $75,000 to $100,000+. Luxury kitchens with Wolf, Sub-Zero, or Thermador appliances exceed $100,000. Cast-iron drain replacement in pre-1960s homes can add $10,000 to $20,000. Full cost breakdown by tier at our Kitchen Remodel Cost guide.
How long does a kitchen remodel take in St. Pete?
A cosmetic refresh takes under a month of construction. A full remodel with layout changes runs one to two months of construction. Major renovations with structural work take two to three months. Add four to eight weeks of pre-construction planning and two to five weeks for permits.
Do I need a permit for a kitchen remodel?
Yes, if the work touches plumbing, electrical, or structural framing. Cosmetic-only work (cabinet paint, countertop swap, backsplash, flooring) does not require a permit. Revolution pulls permits under Florida licenses CRC1331628 and CGC1522463 and handles all inspections.
Can I live in my house during a kitchen remodel?
Yes, most homeowners stay in the home. You will not have kitchen access during construction, so plan for eating out, delivery, or a temporary kitchen setup in another room. Revolution sequences the work with dust barriers, dedicated work hours, and weekly client meetings.
Why does Revolution use Time & Materials pricing?
Kitchens carry more variable-cost surprises than any other remodel — cabinet lead times, cast-iron drain failures in older homes, and long luxury-appliance delivery windows. T&M prices every cost as it surfaces, with a 30% markup stated up front and weekly budget reports comparing actuals to your estimate. You see the same invoices we do.
