Apollo Beach full home remodel

# Case Study #4: Apollo Beach Kitchen Remodel with Open-Concept Layout & 200-Amp Electrical Upgrade

**Location:** Apollo Beach, Florida

## Project Overview

The homeowners wanted to transform their outdated kitchen into a bright, open-concept living space that seamlessly connected the kitchen, dining, and living areas. By removing a non-load-bearing interior wall, we created a more spacious layout that improved natural light, traffic flow, and views throughout the home.

In addition to the kitchen renovation, the project included a complete electrical service upgrade to support the home's modern appliances and waterfront outdoor amenities, including the dock, swimming pool, and jacuzzi.

## Before the Renovation

* Closed-off kitchen with limited visibility into adjoining living spaces
* Outdated cabinetry, countertops, and finishes
* Limited countertop workspace and storage
* Older electrical panel with insufficient capacity for the home's current needs
* Poor lighting and an inefficient layout

## Scope of Work

* Removal of a non-load-bearing interior wall
* Complete kitchen demolition
* Installation of custom shaker-style cabinetry
* Quartz countertops and a large center island
* Tile backsplash installation
* Recessed LED lighting throughout the kitchen and living areas
* Luxury vinyl plank flooring
* Interior painting and finish carpentry
* Upgrade of the home's electrical service to a new 200-amp electrical panel
* Installation of dedicated electrical subpanels for the dock, swimming pool, and jacuzzi
* New dedicated circuits for kitchen appliances and lighting
* Final electrical testing, inspections, and project completion

## Challenges

Although the wall being removed was non-load-bearing, existing electrical wiring had to be carefully rerouted to accommodate the new open floor plan.

The home's original electrical system also lacked the capacity required for the remodeled kitchen and existing outdoor amenities. Our team upgraded the electrical service to a new 200-amp panel and installed dedicated subpanels for the dock, pool, and jacuzzi, ensuring reliable power distribution while meeting current electrical code requirements.

## Results

The completed renovation transformed the home into a bright, modern entertaining space with a functional open-concept layout and a significantly improved electrical infrastructure.

The homeowners now enjoy:

* Spacious open-concept kitchen and living area
* Improved natural light and sightlines throughout the home
* Custom shaker cabinetry with expanded storage
* Large quartz island ideal for cooking, dining, and entertaining
* Modern recessed LED lighting
* Luxury vinyl plank flooring throughout the main living areas
* A new 200-amp electrical service capable of supporting the remodeled home and future electrical needs
* Dedicated electrical subpanels providing safe, reliable power to the dock, swimming pool, and jacuzzi

This renovation not only modernized the home's appearance but also enhanced its safety, functionality, and long-term value by combining a thoughtfully redesigned floor plan with a comprehensive electrical service upgrade.
