Expert Kitchen Remodeling Services in Lake County
Pro Specialty Services is a licensed Florida general contractor (CGC1538852) remodeling kitchens across Lake County. The kitchen is the hardest-working room in the house, and remodeling it touches nearly every trade—demolition, framing, electrical, plumbing, drywall, cabinetry, counters, and flooring. We manage all of it as one accountable contractor, so you're not stuck coordinating a carpenter, an electrician, and a plumber who have never met.
Owner Caleb Hutchinson personally oversees every remodel. That matters most where kitchen projects go wrong: the rough-in stage, where moved plumbing and new circuits are buried behind walls, and the cabinet install, where an eighth of an inch decides whether counters sit level and doors line up. Because we're a general contractor and not a single-trade installer, layout changes—removing a wall for an open plan, adding an island, relocating the range—are on the table, not off-limits.
We remodel kitchens in Eustis, Mount Dora, Tavares, Clermont, Leesburg, Lady Lake, The Villages, and the surrounding Lake County communities. If your project grows beyond the kitchen, we also handle bathroom remodeling, home additions, and full builds as a licensed general contractor.
Every project gets a detailed written scope and price before work starts, permits pulled in our license where the work requires them, and a clean, dust-controlled jobsite while your household keeps running around us.
Why a Licensed Contractor Matters for a Kitchen Remodel
A kitchen remodel that moves plumbing, adds circuits, or opens a wall requires permits and licensed trade work in Florida. Unpermitted work can void your homeowner's insurance, surface during a sale, and force you to open finished walls for inspection later. We pull the right permits through Lake County and schedule the inspections, so the remodel adds value instead of liability.
Sequencing is where kitchen projects live or die. Cabinets ordered before the layout is final, counters templated before cabinets are set, or flooring installed at the wrong stage each cascade into weeks of delay. We run the schedule in the correct order and hold suppliers and trades to it—that's the job of a general contractor.
Structural judgment protects you on the exciting changes. That wall between the kitchen and living room may be load-bearing; an island needs adequate clearances and dedicated circuits; a relocated sink needs proper venting. We evaluate all of it before demolition, engineer what needs engineering, and tell you honestly what your budget does and doesn't support.
What Our Kitchen Remodels Include
From a facelift to a full gut renovation, we handle the complete scope:
Design & Layout Planning
We help you refine the layout—work triangle, island sizing, storage, and traffic flow—and confirm what's structurally and mechanically feasible before anything is ordered.
Cabinetry & Countertops
Cabinet replacement or full reconfiguration, set level and scribed tight, followed by templated countertop fabrication in quartz, granite, or solid surface.
Electrical & Lighting
New circuits for appliances and islands, under-cabinet and recessed lighting, and outlet placement brought up to current code by licensed electricians.
Plumbing & Fixtures
Sink and faucet upgrades, relocated supply and drain lines, pot fillers, and proper venting—roughed in, inspected, and finished correctly.
Walls, Floors & Finishes
Wall removal and openings (engineered where load-bearing), drywall, tile backsplashes, flooring, paint, and trim for a finished, cohesive result.
Appliance Coordination
We coordinate delivery and installation of ranges, hoods, dishwashers, and built-ins so hookups, venting, and clearances are right the first time.

Punch list, final inspection where applicable, and a clean handover with warranty documentation.
Budget, Timeline & Permits in Lake County
The three questions every kitchen remodel starts with:
Realistic Budget Ranges
Kitchen remodels vary enormously—a cosmetic refresh, a full replacement in the same layout, and a structural reconfiguration are different projects. We scope and price yours in writing after a consultation instead of quoting a blind per-square-foot number.
Typical Timeline
A straightforward pull-and-replace kitchen typically runs 3–6 weeks of construction; layout changes and structural work extend that to 8–12. Cabinet and counter lead times drive the calendar, so we order early and demo late to keep your downtime short.
When Permits Are Required
Moving or adding plumbing, electrical circuits, or walls requires permits in Lake County; a like-for-like cosmetic refresh usually doesn't. We tell you which side your project falls on and handle the paperwork when it's required.
Living Through the Remodel
Most families stay home during a kitchen remodel. We contain dust, keep water and power interruptions short and scheduled, and can help you plan a temporary kitchen setup.

Common Questions
It depends on scope more than square footage. A cosmetic refresh, a full pull-and-replace in the same layout, and a structural reconfiguration are very different projects. After a free consultation we provide a detailed written scope and price, with allowances for your selections clearly itemized.
A straightforward replacement in the existing layout typically runs 3–6 weeks of construction. Layout changes, wall removals, or structural work extend that to roughly 8–12 weeks. Cabinet and countertop lead times drive the calendar, so we place orders early and schedule demolition close to delivery to minimize your downtime.
In Lake County, permits are required when you move or add plumbing, electrical circuits, or walls. A like-for-like cosmetic update usually doesn't need one. We tell you exactly which side your project falls on and pull any required permits in our license.
Usually, yes. Many of those walls are load-bearing, which means the opening needs a properly engineered beam and the load path has to be maintained. As a licensed general contractor we evaluate the structure, coordinate sealed engineering when required, and do the work with permits and inspections.
Yes. Licensed electricians and plumbers perform the trade work under our general contract, and the rough-ins are inspected before the walls close. You get one contract and one point of accountability instead of hiring trades separately.
Almost all of our clients do. We contain dust, protect floors and adjacent rooms, keep water and power interruptions short and scheduled, and help you set up a temporary kitchen so the household keeps functioning.
Yes. We help you refine the layout and make cabinet, counter, tile, and fixture selections that fit your budget, and we confirm feasibility before anything is ordered so the design you fall in love with is one that can actually be built.
We remodel kitchens throughout Lake County, Florida—Eustis, Mount Dora, Tavares, Clermont, Leesburg, Lady Lake, The Villages, and surrounding communities.
