Kitchen Remodeling in Florida: ROI, Costs, and Must-Have Features in 2025

For Florida homeowners, the kitchen isn’t just another room... it’s the heart of the home. It’s where families gather, where friends linger, and where memories are made. That’s why kitchen remodels remain one of the most popular and valuable home upgrades in 2025.

But here’s the truth: a kitchen remodel is both an emotional and financial investment. Understanding the ROI, costs, and design features that matter most can help you make confident decisions and avoid surprises along the way.

At Avery Construction, we’ve guided countless clients through luxury kitchen remodels across Pinellas County and beyond. Here’s what you need to know before starting your project in 2025.

How Much Does a Kitchen Remodel Cost in Florida (2025)?

Costs vary depending on size, scope, and finishes — but here’s a breakdown based on today’s market:

• Mid-Range Remodels: $40,000 – $75,000

  • Updating cabinetry with refacing or semi-custom options

  • New countertops, backsplash, and upgraded appliances

  • Fresh paint and lighting updates

• Luxury Remodels: $100,000 – $250,000+

  • Custom cabinetry and millwork

  • High-end appliances (Sub-Zero, Wolf, Miele)

  • Natural stone or quartzite countertops

  • Structural changes like removing walls or adding an island

  • Specialty features: hidden pantries, wine fridges, or sculleries

Pro tip: In Florida, kitchens often require extra considerations like humidity-resistant materials and hurricane-safe windows.

What’s the ROI on a Kitchen Remodel in Florida?

According to 2025 industry data, a minor to mid-range kitchen remodel delivers up to 80% ROI in Florida. Luxury remodels tend to return slightly less on paper (50–60%), but that’s only part of the story.

Here’s why ROI isn’t just financial:

• Resale boost: Kitchens sell homes — buyers in Florida expect updated kitchens in the $500K+ market.

• Lifestyle ROI: An open, functional kitchen improves daily living and family connection.

• Longevity: A high-end remodel done right lasts decades, not just years.

At Avery Construction, we encourage homeowners to consider both monetary value and lifestyle value. Your dream kitchen should make life better today and pay off tomorrow.

Must-Have Kitchen Features for 2025

Here’s what Florida homeowners are asking for this year — and what we’re building most often:

1. Open-Concept Layouts

Walls are coming down. Homeowners want kitchens that connect seamlessly to dining and living areas for entertaining and family gatherings.

2. Oversized Islands

The island is no longer optional — it’s essential. Think 8+ feet, with seating, prep space, and built-in storage.

3. Custom Cabinetry

Luxury remodels almost always include fully custom cabinetry — designed for both style and smart storage. Hidden pantries and appliance garages are trending.

4. High-End Appliances

From professional-grade ranges to built-in espresso makers, premium appliances elevate function and wow factor.

5. Statement Lighting

Chandeliers, pendant clusters, and layered lighting transform kitchens into design showcases.

6. Durable, Beautiful Surfaces

Quartzite, marble, and engineered quartz are in high demand — especially with dramatic veining. Many homeowners pair bold countertops with warm wood tones for balance.

7. Smart Home Integration

Voice-activated lighting, app-controlled ovens, and hidden charging stations keep kitchens future-ready.
