AfterFast, Reliable Kitchen Remodeling Across Iona
Most kitchen remodels in Iona, FL fall between $14,000 and $45,000, depending on whether you’re updating cabinets and counters or gutting the room to the block walls. That’s the range we write into most contracts on this side of Lee County, and it’s the number we’ll stand behind before the first hammer swings. If you live off McGregor Boulevard, along the Caloosahatchee side, or back in the neighborhoods near the Iona-McGregor fire district, you’re probably dealing with a 1970s-era concrete block kitchen that’s outlived its layout. Call Barrett & Sons at (877) 610-1318 and we’ll walk the room with you, measure, and hand you a written scope and price before we leave the driveway.

Our Kitchen Remodeling Services in Iona
Full Kitchen Remodeling
A full Kitchen Remodeling job in Iona usually means taking the room down to studs, reworking plumbing and electrical, and rebuilding with materials that meet current Lee County wind and flood codes. We handle the permit, the inspections, and the entire build, and every change to the original scope arrives as a written change order before work proceeds. No surprises on the final invoice. That’s non-negotiable here.
Cabinets & Countertops
We install KraftMaid cabinets and Cambria quartz in Iona kitchens, and we don’t swap those for mystery brands when the order gets placed. Cabinet installation in Iona typically runs $4,000 to $13,000. Countertop installation runs $2,000 to $6,500 depending on material and square footage. You’ll see the brand name on the order sheet before we order it.
Backsplash, Tile & Flooring
Backsplash installation in Iona runs about $800 to $2,500 for a standard kitchen. Tile flooring adds more, depending on whether we’re tearing out old vinyl or laying over a post-Ian slab. We recommend porcelain or ceramic tile that handles the humidity coming off San Carlos Bay, not laminate that swells when the summer air sits thick for six months straight.
Kitchen Design & Layout
Many Iona kitchens are original to 1960s through 1980s block homes, which means the refrigerator is often somewhere the original builder never intended it to be. We’ll redraw the layout, move the range if the gas line and vent allow it, and give you a plan that actually works when two people cook at once. If you’re also redoing a bathroom while we’re there, we’re the same crew that handles Bathroom Remodeling in Iona, so the site stays cleaner and the schedule stays tighter.

Trusted Brands We Service in Iona
We stock and install materials from brands you can look up before you spend a dollar: KraftMaid and Cambria in kitchens, plus Techo-Bloc and Belgard if the remodel extends into a patio or outdoor kitchen adjacent to the house. We keep common cabinet hardware and tile trim in our local inventory for Iona jobs, which means we’re not waiting on a shipment from another state when the last drawer pull doesn’t match. If we need a specialty piece, we’ll tell you the day it’s ordered, not the day it’s supposed to arrive.
Common Kitchen Remodeling Problems We See in Iona Homes
- Original 1970s layouts that don’t work anymore. Iona’s concrete block ranch homes were built when kitchens were closed-off rooms. Opening them up often means cutting into a load-bearing block wall, which requires a header, a permit, and an inspector. We’ve done enough of these to know exactly what Lee County will ask for before we even submit the drawings.
- Moisture and salt air doing a number on cabinets and hinges. Homes west of McGregor sit close enough to San Carlos Bay that salt air corrodes cheap hinges in a season or two. We spec stainless or powder-coated hardware in those neighborhoods, and we use door bumpers that don’t fall apart in the humidity that sits over this part of the county from May through October.
- Post-Ian flood damage hiding behind lower cabinets. Hundreds of Iona properties took surge water in September 2022, and we regularly pull base cabinets to find water stains, warping, or mold on the drywall behind them that nobody spotted during the initial cleanup. If your home flooded even lightly, tell us before we quote. We’ll know where to look.
- Electrical panels and wiring that don’t meet current code. A kitchen remodel that adds a microwave, range hood, and under-cabinet lighting will usually trigger the requirement to upgrade the kitchen’s dedicated circuits, and sometimes the panel itself. This is one of the most common written change orders we issue on Iona jobs, and we’ll put it on paper before we touch a wire.

FAQs - Kitchen Remodeling in Iona
Yes. We schedule and run crews in Iona regularly, and a live person answers the phone 24/7 to set up your walkthrough. Most Iona estimates happen within a week of your call, and there’s no trip charge inside Lee County. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll put a time on the calendar that works around your schedule, not ours.
We cover the entire 33906 ZIP code, including homes along McGregor Boulevard, the neighborhoods between the Caloosahatchee and San Carlos Bay, and the side streets running toward the beach side of the county. Our crews know the area, the access issues on the narrower residential streets, and the Lee County inspection schedules that affect how fast your job can move once the permit is filed.
We do. Iona sits in one of the hardest-hit flood corridors from Hurricane Ian, and FEMA’s revised flood maps now set Base Flood Elevations that didn’t exist when most of these homes were built. If your kitchen remodel triggers Lee County’s substantial improvement threshold, the entire structure may need to come up to current elevation code, and that changes the scope significantly. We’ll tell you if that’s coming before you spend a dollar, not after the walls are open. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll walk the property and check the flood map together.
Only if you change the scope, add materials, or the county requires something that wasn’t visible during the estimate. Any change goes on a written change order that you sign before the work happens. We don’t hand you a different bill at the end, and we don’t work off allowances that aren’t in writing.
Every kitchen remodel we complete in Iona carries our 90-Day Done Right Promise, written on the contract itself. If something’s not done right, one call brings Tom Barrett back to the job. No phone trees, no argument about whose mistake it was. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll make it right.
