Kitchen electrical and lighting across Tampa Bay

A Tampa Bay kitchen remodel is the right time to bring the electrical and lighting up to current code. We add dedicated circuits for the range, oven, and microwave, swap to GFCI outlets at the counter, install recessed and under-cabinet LED runs, and rough in pendants over the island. All work is permitted and inspected, not just done.

What do homeowners ask about Kitchen Electrical?

How much does kitchen electrical work cost in Tampa Bay?

A typical Tampa Bay kitchen electrical scope runs $2,200-$7,500 depending on the number of new circuits, the lighting layout, and any panel upgrade. Adding a dedicated range circuit, four recessed lights, and under-cabinet LED runs is on the lower end. A panel upgrade or a full rewire lands at the higher end.

Do I need a permit for kitchen electrical work in Tampa Bay?

Yes. The City of Tampa and most surrounding Tampa Bay jurisdictions require an electrical permit for any new circuit, panel change, or significant rewire. The permit covers the rough inspection (before drywall closes the walls) and the final inspection. We pull the permit before rough-in and schedule both inspections.

How many outlets do I need in a kitchen?

The National Electrical Code, as adopted in Florida, requires two 20-amp small-appliance circuits serving the counter, with outlets every 4 feet along the counter run, plus a dedicated circuit for the fridge, dishwasher, garbage disposal, and any large appliance. Many Tampa Bay kitchens built before the mid-1990s do not meet this standard, which is why a remodel is the right time to bring it up to code.

What kind of lighting works best in a Tampa Bay kitchen?

A layered approach works best: recessed LEDs for general lighting, under-cabinet LEDs for task lighting at the counter, and pendants over the island for accent and seating-area light. We size the recessed layout to the ceiling height and the counter runs, and we put the under-cabinet on a separate switch from the ceiling.

Can I add a 240V outlet for an induction range?

Yes. Most modern induction ranges use a 240V, 40-50 amp dedicated circuit on #6 or #8 wire, depending on the model. We confirm the range spec, pull the permit, run the new circuit from the panel, install the outlet, and coordinate the final inspection. This is also a good time to add a 240V outlet for a future wall oven or a tankless water heater on the same circuit run.

Service area

Where do we offer Kitchen Electrical in Tampa Bay?

We provide kitchen electrical in every city and community in Tampa Bay County. Pick your city for local climate notes and service specifics.

Central Tampa Kitchen Electrical in Tampa Tampa's kitchens span nearly a century of design, from pre-1960 bungalows in Seminole Heights and Tampa Heights to newer builds spreading toward New Tampa and Carrollwood. A full remodel here typically runs $32,000-$75,000, with cabinet refacing landing between $9,000-$18,000 for homeowners who aren't ready to gut the space. Florida's humidity is the quiet factor in every quote, so we don't spec particleboard cabinet boxes near the sink and dishwasher since it swells fast in this climate.

St. Pete & Gulf Beaches Kitchen Electrical in St. Petersburg St. Petersburg's kitchens split along the same lines as its housing stock. Old Northeast and Kenwood are full of 1920s Craftsman bungalows with kitchens still boxed off from the dining room, and most remodels here open that wall while keeping the original trim, running $48,000-$95,000 for a full renovation. Florida's humidity favors plywood cabinet boxes over MDF in these older homes, since particleboard swells fast without steady air conditioning.

St. Pete & Gulf Beaches Kitchen Electrical in Largo Largo has been building continuously since the 1950s, and its core neighborhoods around Downtown Largo and Ridgecrest still carry mid-century block ranch kitchens, small, closed-off rooms owners are steadily opening toward the living space. A full kitchen remodel here runs $30,000-$62,000, with countertop swaps at $3,500-$9,000 a popular starting point for owners not ready for a full gut. Gulf-coast humidity makes waterproof LVP flooring and elevated slab prep standard specs, not upgrades, on any Largo kitchen job.

North Pinellas Kitchen Electrical in Clearwater Clearwater's kitchen work splits along the same line as the city itself: beach condos in Island Estates need flood-zone waterproofing and salt-resistant cabinet hardware, while Harbor Oaks and the Cleveland Street bungalow blocks carry original 1940s-60s layouts never built for modern appliances. A full kitchen remodel here typically runs $34,000-$68,000, with cabinet refacing landing between $9,000-$18,000 for owners keeping the existing footprint. Humidity is the quiet issue across every neighborhood, since plywood cabinet boxes installed before better moisture barriers tend to swell and warp faster than newer construction.

North Pinellas Kitchen Electrical in Palm Harbor Palm Harbor is one of the largest, most affluent communities in Pinellas County, and Lansbrook, East Lake, and Ridgemoor homeowners in the 1970s-80s housing stock consistently request custom cabinetry, oversized islands, and a full 3D design render before committing to a remodel. Full kitchen remodels here run $48,000-$95,000, among the highest in our North Pinellas territory. Humidity still finds its way into original plywood cabinet boxes in these decades-old homes, so a gut remodel usually starts with pulling everything back to the studs.

Pasco County Kitchen Electrical in Wesley Chapel Seven Oaks, Meadow Pointe, and Bexley grew fast over the last two decades. Most kitchens here still carry original builder-grade cabinets, prime candidates for an island rebuild. An open-concept great-room remodel in this corridor runs $42,000-$85,000, reflecting the area's newer, higher-income housing stock.

East Hillsborough Kitchen Electrical in Brandon Brandon's kitchens mostly trace back to the 1990s and early 2000s building boom. Subdivisions like Lakeside and Providence Lakes got the same builder-grade oak cabinets, many of them ready for refacing today. A full kitchen remodel runs $32,000-$62,000, with cabinet refacing closer to $9,000-$18,000, and Florida humidity has usually taken a toll on those original plywood boxes.

East Hillsborough Kitchen Electrical in Riverview Riverview is one of the fastest-growing corners of Hillsborough County, and its kitchens show it. Master-planned communities like Panther Trace, Summerfield, and South Fork favor open-concept great-room layouts built for entertaining. A full remodel with a large island runs $40,000-$78,000, and design and 3D render work is common here before owners commit to a layout.

Homeowners who hired us for this

Our bungalow kitchen was original to the 1940s house and the layout made no sense. The crew that came out through this referral gutted it, moved the fridge wall, and worked around our tiny lot without a single scheduling delay through two rain weeks.

We went with quartz after they explained how granite needs resealing every year in this humidity. Install took two days and they protected our floors the whole time. Counters still look brand new five months in.

Devin MarshKitchen Countertop Installation · St. Petersburg

Refacing instead of a full teardown saved us a lot and the new doors closed the gap where humidity had swelled the old MDF fronts for years. Looks like a new kitchen for a fraction of the cost.
