Fast, Reliable Kitchen Remodeling Across Lehigh Acres
Kitchen remodeling in Lehigh Acres typically runs $14,000 to $45,000 for a full renovation, with smaller projects like cabinet installation landing between $4,000 and $13,000. We serve every corner of the 33976, 33936, 33970, and 33971 zip codes, from the older grid sections off Lee Boulevard down to the newer builds along Homestead Road. If you’ve been putting off a kitchen that’s showing its age since the mid-2000s boom, or you’ve got a 1960s CBS block home that’s never been updated, call Tom Barrett and his sons at (877) 610-1318 for a straight answer and a free estimate.
Why Lehigh Acres Homeowners Call Barrett & Sons First
Barrett & Sons Construction has been owner-operated since 1998, and Tom Barrett’s name, address, and license number are printed right where you can look them up. That matters in a town where plenty of folks have been burned by a phone quote that didn’t match the invoice. Around Lehigh Acres, Tom and his sons run the crews themselves. You won’t get a franchise sending strangers in a wrapped van. You’ll get the same faces who shook your hand at the estimate, and if something’s not right, the 90-Day Done Right Promise says one call brings Tom back. No vague language. It’s on every contract.
We’ve worked on homes across Lehigh Acres long enough to know that the original 1950s platted grid created a construction pattern you won’t find in Fort Myers or Cape Coral. Tens of thousands of individually owned parcels sit scattered among developed streets, which means we’re often remodeling kitchens in infill new builds where the lot had no prior site prep. That changes how we handle slab work, utility coordination, and Lee County elevation requirements. It also means we’re not surprised when a remodel on a 1972 block home on the east side near the drainage canal network needs different floor prep than a 2006 production home on the west side. That local knowledge keeps your schedule honest.
Reviews from Lehigh Acres customers consistently mention two things: written change orders before any price moves, and a live person answering the phone at (877) 610-1318 around the clock. Not a call center in another state. Tom Barrett’s phone. When heat indices push past 105°F in July and August out here with no coastal breeze to cut it, we adjust pour schedules and crew rotations. That’s not corporate policy. That’s knowing Lehigh Acres summers.
Our Kitchen Remodeling Services in Lehigh Acres
Full Kitchen Remodeling
A full kitchen remodel in Lehigh Acres usually means gutting a space down to the studs, reworking the layout on slab-on-grade concrete, and rebuilding with materials that can handle humidity and hard water. We pull permits on every eligible job and get inspections signed before you ever use the sink. Most full remodels here land between $14,000 and $45,000, and that number stays put because any change comes to you as a written change order first. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll walk you through the scope line by line.

Cabinets & Countertops
Whether it’s KraftMaid cabinets or Cambria quartz countertops, we install materials you can look up by name. In Lehigh Acres, cabinet installation runs about $4,000 to $13,000, and countertop installation typically $2,000 to $6,500. We measure tight against block walls that are rarely perfectly square, especially in the 1960s and 70s CBS homes that dominate the original grid. That’s the difference between a countertop that sits flush and one with a silicone caulk line the width of your thumb.

Backsplash, Tile & Flooring
Backsplash installation in Lehigh Acres generally costs $800 to $2,500 depending on material and layout. Tile and flooring work here faces one consistent challenge: the flat, low-lying terrain and high water table mean slab moisture is a real factor. We test before we tile. If you’re on the east side near the canal network where drainage is slower, that test matters even more. A backsplash that looks good in a showroom can fail in a Lehigh Acres kitchen if the substrate wasn’t prepped for Florida humidity, and we’d rather tell you that before we start than after grout cracks in year two.

Kitchen Design & Layout
Lehigh Acres kitchens come in two basic shapes: the closed galley style from the original CBS construction era, and the more open layouts from the mid-2000s production wave. Our Kitchen Remodeling team has rebuilt enough of both to know which walls are load-bearing and which plumbing runs can move without fighting a concrete slab. We’ll show you options for kitchen islands, pantry pulls, and sight lines that actually work in your floor plan, not a stock rendering that ignores your home’s bones. You’re also getting the same design eye whether you spend $9,000 on a small partial remodel or $45,000 on a full gut.

Trusted Brands We Service in Lehigh Acres
You shouldn’t have to guess what’s going into your kitchen. We install KraftMaid and Cambria in kitchens, and when your remodel touches windows or a sliding door leading out to the lanai, we work with Simonton and PGT products that hold up to Lehigh Acres storms. Those are brands you can research yourself before you sign. We keep common hardware and trim pieces stocked for quick turnaround on Lehigh Acres projects, which matters when you’re living without a kitchen and the clock is ticking. Every product line we carry is something we’d put in our own homes, and Tom means that literally. His sons install them.
Common Kitchen Remodeling Problems We See in Lehigh Acres Homes
- Slab moisture and high water table. Lehigh Acres sits flat and low with a water table that runs high, especially in the eastern grid sections near the drainage canals. We test slab moisture before any tile or wood-look flooring goes down, because skipping that step in this town means cupped planks and cracked grout within two seasons.
- Off-square block walls from the 1960s and 70s. The original CBS homes were built fast during a land boom, and their walls drift. Installing modern cabinetry against those walls requires scribing and shimming that a crew without local experience will get wrong. We’ve done it enough that it’s second nature.
- Utility uncertainty on infill lots. Because the Lehigh Acres grid was platted and sold lot-by-lot decades before utilities reached many sections, a kitchen remodel on an infill parcel can turn up water, sewer, or septic questions that don’t exist on established streets in Fort Myers. We coordinate with Lee County and utility providers before we open walls.
- Hurricane Ian reconstruction shortcuts. After Ian, a wave of quick renovations hit Lehigh Acres, and some of that work wasn’t done to code. We regularly find kitchens where electrical wasn’t permitted or cabinet bases were set on unleveled slab. When we’re in a post-Ian home, we check what’s behind the drywall before we quote, because the permit inspector works for you, not for us.
Pricing for Kitchen Remodeling in Lehigh Acres, FL
A full kitchen remodel in Lehigh Acres runs $14,000 to $45,000. Small or partial remodels land around $9,000 to $20,000. Cabinet installation runs $4,000 to $13,000, countertops $2,000 to $6,500, backsplash $800 to $2,500, and a kitchen island $3,000 to $10,000. What moves the number? Square footage, whether you’re moving plumbing or keeping the sink where it is, and what you pick for cabinets and countertops. KraftMaid full-inset costs more than stock, and Cambria runs higher than builder-grade quartz. But here’s what doesn’t change: the price we quote is the price you pay unless we both sign a written change order first. Every allowance is on paper before work begins. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate, and ask about the permanent Senior & Veteran 10% discount if it applies to you.

FAQs - Kitchen Remodeling in Lehigh Acres
We typically schedule Lehigh Acres kitchen remodels two to four weeks out from the signed contract, depending on permitting and material lead times. Cabinets and quartz tops come from manufacturers with their own production schedules, and we won’t promise a start date we can’t keep. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll give you an honest timeline in the first conversation, then confirm it in writing.
Yes. We work across all four Lehigh Acres zip codes: 33976, 33936, 33970, and 33971. That includes the original CBS grid sections, the mid-2000s production subdivisions, and the scattered infill lots that make this town’s construction unique. No trip charge inside the county, either.
Only if you change the scope, and even then, only after we hand you a written change order and you sign it. An allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date, and we don’t do surprises. That’s the Barrett & Sons rule since 1998.
Kitchen pricing in Lehigh Acres is generally in line with the rest of Lee County, running $14,000 to $45,000 for a full remodel. What differs here isn’t the labor rate; it’s the site conditions. Infill lots with no prior utility work and high water table slab prep can add cost that a typical Fort Myers remodel doesn’t carry. We’ll tell you if your specific lot has those issues before you commit to anything.
Every kitchen remodel comes with our 90-Day Done Right Promise, written on the contract. If it’s not done right, one call brings Tom Barrett back to make it right. On top of that, we pull permits and get inspections signed on every eligible job, so the county’s inspector has verified the work before we call it done. You can look up our license anytime. Call (877) 610-1318 to schedule your free estimate.
