Kitchen Remodeling in St. Johns County & Jacksonville
Integrity Construction Co. designs and builds custom kitchens in St. Johns County and Jacksonville — from layout reconfiguration and custom cabinetry to countertops, islands, lighting, and appliance integration — with a fixed price and an owner on your jobsite every day.
The kitchen is where every morning starts and every dinner ends. It's also the room that either makes your home feel like yours or reminds you daily that a builder made decisions to hit a price point. A well-executed kitchen remodel is one of the most meaningful investments you can make in a home — and one of the most complicated to get right.
At Integrity Construction Co., we manage kitchen projects end to end: layout planning, permit handling, custom cabinetry (built and installed by the same craftsmen every time), stone countertops, tile work, lighting design, appliance coordination, and finish carpentry. Every trade that touches your kitchen is a licensed specialist who does that one thing — not a generalist crew covering four crafts at once.
The promise that matters most in a kitchen remodel: nothing gets torn out until every material is on hand, inspected, and confirmed correct. Custom cabinetry runs 6–8 weeks from order to delivery. Countertop slabs need to be templated after cabinets are set. Appliances have lead times. We sequence all of it before your old kitchen comes down — so you are not living with plywood counters and a utility sink for two months waiting on backordered parts.
Layout First — Then Everything Else
Builder-grade kitchens in Nocatee and Ponte Vedra neighborhoods were designed to sell a floor plan, not to function at the standard you actually cook and entertain at. The first question we ask is not what cabinets you like — it's how you use the space. Where does the prep happen? Do you need a dedicated baking zone? Is the island a traffic bottleneck or a gathering point? Do you want the refrigerator visible from the foyer or tucked away?
Answers to those questions drive layout decisions. Sometimes that means opening a wall to connect the kitchen to a dining or living space. Sometimes it means relocating a cooktop to free up a run of counter. We handle the structural work — permits, engineering if required, framing, MEP rough-in — as part of a coordinated scope, not as a surprise add-on after demo.
Custom Cabinetry — Not a Box Store Order
Your cabinetry sets the tone for the entire room. We work with dedicated cabinet shops — craftsmen who build and install cabinets and nothing else. The result is precision: doors that close flush, drawer boxes that glide silently, crown that meets your ceiling correctly, and toe-kicks scribed to your floor.
Plan for 6–8 weeks from cabinet order to delivery — that is normal for custom work and the reason we front-load selections. You will have your cabinet door samples, finish choices, and hardware selections locked in before anything else is ordered, so the entire material timeline runs in parallel, not sequentially.
We offer face-frame and frameless construction, a full range of painted and stained finishes, inset and overlay door styles, and interior fittings — pull-out shelves, drawer inserts, appliance garages, spice pull-outs, lazy Susans, built-in trash and recycling. If you can sketch it, we can build it.
Countertops and Stone Work
Countertops are where kitchens either feel premium or don't. We work with quartz for its consistency and low maintenance, granite for its durability and natural variation, quartzite for the natural look of marble with significantly better durability, and marble for clients who want the real thing and understand its character. Porcelain slabs are an increasingly popular option for large-format island tops and waterfall edges.
Template and fabrication happen after your cabinets are set and level — never before. That sequencing is non-negotiable; it's how joints align and overhangs land correctly. Our stone fabricator is a dedicated specialist with the same precision equipment and standards you'd find at a high-end fabrication shop, not a contractor calling in a favor.
Lighting Design — The Detail Most Remodels Skip
A kitchen can have beautiful cabinets and stone and still feel flat if the lighting plan is an afterthought. We work through three layers: general (recessed or a ceiling fixture), task (under-cabinet LED strip for countertop work), and accent (pendants over an island, interior cabinet lighting for glass-front uppers). The electrical rough-in happens early in the construction sequence so that fixture placement is intentional, not wherever a box was left.
In Florida, natural light coordination matters too. East-facing windows mean morning sun on your work surface; we factor orientation into where you want task lighting versus where ambient light carries the load.
Permits, HOA, and Florida Code
Most kitchen remodels in St. Johns County require a permit — especially when structural work, electrical panel upgrades, or plumbing relocation is involved. We handle the permit application and inspection coordination. If you are in Nocatee, Ponte Vedra, or another community with an HOA or ARB architectural review process, we prepare the full submission package for you.
Florida's humidity environment also has real implications for a kitchen: proper vapor management behind tile, ventilation sizing for range hoods, and moisture-resistant substrate behind any wet areas adjacent to the sink. These are standard practice in our scopes, not upgrades.
How the Process Works
We start with a consultation to understand how you use the space, what you want it to feel like, and what your timeline and budget look like. From there we produce a detailed, all-in fixed-price proposal — every line item included, every genuine unknown flagged in writing before you sign. If we miss something we did not flag, we cover the cost. That is not a marketing line; it is the way we operate.
Our allowances are set to middle-of-the-road finishes, not bare minimums — and if your selections come in under the allowance, the price goes down and the savings are yours. Once you sign and the 10% deposit is in, we move into selections. When selections are made and materials ordered, 50% of the project is due. Nothing comes out until everything is in. An owner is on site every single day construction is active. At the end, we walk the space with you, close out the punch list, and the final payment is due on completion. The warranty on all materials and labor we provide is 12 months.
The Way We Quote
Honest allowances — and the savings are yours
We don't quote bare builder-grade finishes and then turn every showroom selection into an upcharge. We quote middle-of-the-road finishes as your baseline. Choose upgrades and the price goes up; choose less expensive options and the price goes down — and we don't keep the difference. See how we quote →
Questions
Kitchen Remodeling — common questions
How long does a kitchen remodel take?
Timeline depends heavily on the scope. A cosmetic update — new countertops, backsplash, and hardware — can run 2–3 weeks once materials are in. A full gut-and-reconfigure with custom cabinetry typically runs 4–5 weeks of active construction. The longer variable is the front end: custom cabinet lead times run 6–8 weeks from order, so total project duration from signed contract to move-in is often 10–13 weeks for a full remodel. We give you an honest timeline in the proposal, not an optimistic one.
Do I have to move out during a kitchen remodel?
Plan on being without a working kitchen for the full active-construction window — roughly 4–5 weeks. Most clients set up a temporary kitchen — a fridge, microwave, and coffee station in the garage, dining room, or laundry area — to get through it. You don't have to move out of the house, but the kitchen itself won't be usable until we're done. We seal the work zone with dust barriers to keep the rest of the home livable, and we give you a clear schedule up front so you can plan around it.
Can you help with design, or do I need to bring my own designer?
You do not need to arrive with a design package. We work through design with you directly and have partner designers we bring in at no additional cost for projects that benefit from professional renderings or material sourcing help. If you already have a designer you love, we are comfortable working from their plans.
What if we find something unexpected behind the walls?
Genuinely unknown conditions — old plumbing that turns out to be galvanized, wiring that doesn't match the permit drawings, a header sized for a different load — are the only honest reason a scope changes. We flag every known risk in writing in the scope before you sign. If an unexpected condition arises that was not flagged, we deal with it. If it was flagged as a possible discovery, we discuss options before proceeding. Either way, there is no surprise invoice on a Friday afternoon.
