Kitchen Addition Services in Orlando, Florida
A kitchen addition transforms how your family lives and entertains in your Orlando or Central Florida home. Whether you're in Avalon Park, Waterford Lakes, or downtown Orlando neighborhoods like Doctor Phillips and Hunters Creek, our team designs and builds additions that match your existing home's architecture while maximizing functionality. We work with homeowners who need more cooking space, a larger dining area, or an integrated family room-all with premium materials like Shaker cabinets, quartz countertops, and LED recessed lighting.
Our kitchen addition process starts with a detailed in-home consultation where we assess your foundation, electrical service, and plumbing lines. We then create 3D renderings, pull building permits from Orange County, coordinate with inspectors, and frame the addition using pressure-treated lumber and engineered trusses. Next comes rough-in work: HVAC ductwork, 200-amp electrical circuits, PEX plumbing, and insulation. Finally, we install cabinets, countertops, backsplash, flooring, fixtures, and paint-completing the project with final walk-through and permit sign-off.

Our Kitchen Addition Process
Consultation and Site Assessment
We visit your home in Orlando, Altamonte Springs, or surrounding areas to measure existing kitchen, check foundation integrity, evaluate electrical panel capacity, and assess water/sewer lines. This takes 1-2 hours and includes a detailed estimate. We also discuss design preferences, material selections, and timeline expectations.
Design and Permit Planning
Our team creates architectural plans with dimensions, electrical layouts, and plumbing diagrams. We then submit to Orange County Building Department for kitchen addition permits, which typically takes 1-2 weeks for approval. You receive 3D renderings and a detailed specification sheet listing all materials and finishes.
Foundation and Framing
Once permits are approved, we excavate footings, pour concrete foundation with frost protection, and frame the addition using 2x6 pressure-treated walls and engineered roof trusses. This phase takes 2-3 weeks and includes final foundation inspection.
Rough-In: Electrical, HVAC, and Plumbing
We run new 200-amp electrical service or upgrade existing panel, install HVAC ductwork with dampers, and run PEX plumbing for sink, dishwasher, and ice maker. All rough work is inspected by Orange County inspectors before drywall, taking approximately 1-2 weeks.
Interior Finishes and Installation
Drywall, insulation, and primer go up; then we install custom cabinets, countertops, backsplash tile, flooring, fixtures, and appliances. Interior painting, lighting, and hardware follow. This phase takes 2-3 weeks depending on cabinet lead time.
Final Inspection and Handoff
Orange County Building Inspector performs final electrical, plumbing, and structural sign-off. We conduct a complete walk-through with you, address any punch-list items, and provide warranties and operation manuals. Total project duration is typically 4-6 weeks from permit approval to completion.
