A professionally executed kitchen remodel in Orlando, FL turns the functional centerpiece of your home into an inspiring culinary showplace tailored to modern cooking, family gatherings, and effortless entertaining. Whether removing restrictive partition walls to create an open-concept great room, designing an expansive center island equipped with a prep sink and high-capacity garbage disposal, or installing dedicated gas lines for a chef-grade range, quality kitchen remodeling demands seamless coordination between structural framing, electrical infrastructure, and precision plumbing rough-ins.
Total Plumbing & Construction provides a complete turnkey advantage: we are state-certified as both a Florida Certified Master Plumbing Contractor (FL Lic #CFC1428520) and a Certified Building Contractor (FL Lic #CRC1331824). Led by founder Jason Smith since 2007, our team handles all concrete cutting, rough-in pipe relocations, gas piping, custom cabinetry, and countertop installations in-house—eliminating the costly markups, finger-pointing, and project delays common with general contractors who depend on outside plumbing subcontractors.

- Desire for a spacious central island with prep sink, dishwasher, and breakfast bar seating
- Old copper or galvanized supply lines causing low water pressure and metallic taste at the tap
- Wanting to convert an inefficient electric range to a professional gourmet gas cooktop
- Deteriorated cabinet boxes and subflooring damaged by historical sink or garbage disposal leaks

Island Sink & Dishwasher Additions (Slab Trenching & Island Vents)
Creating an open-concept kitchen in Orlando frequently involves installing a central island equipped with an under-mount sink, high-torque garbage disposal, and dishwasher. Because Central Florida homes are built on monolithic concrete slabs-on-grade, adding water supply and drainage to a freestanding island requires precision concrete saw-cutting, sub-slab soil excavation, and exact pipe sloping.
Our dual-licensed crews cut clean channels with dust containment, bed sanitary drain pipes in silica sand at code-mandated 1/4-inch-per-foot slopes, and engineer code-compliant island loop venting (or approved air admittance valves conforming to Florida Plumbing Code 8th Edition). We repour high-strength concrete, ensuring a flawless subfloor ready for tile or hardwood flooring without foul sewer gas migration.
Certified Gas Line Additions for Gourmet Chef Ranges
Passionate home chefs overwhelmingly prefer the responsive thermal control and instant heat of a natural gas or propane culinary range over electric elements. If your Orlando residence currently has an electric range, Total Plumbing calculates total household BTU demand and runs dedicated gas supply piping directly from your outdoor TECO gas meter or propane tank.
We install heavy-gauge black iron or CSST (corrugated stainless steel tubing) gas lines, complete with shutoff valves and sediment traps. Every gas system undergoes a mandatory 24-hour pressure test observed by municipal inspectors to ensure absolute safety and airtight operation before appliances are fired.
Under-Sink Reverse Osmosis, Pot Fillers & Appliance Lines
Central Florida municipal tap water sourced from the Floridan Aquifer contains elevated dissolved calcium, magnesium, and chlorine that leave stubborn water spots on glassware, degrade expensive ice makers, and alter the taste of coffee and cooking water. During a remodel, we integrate point-of-use multi-stage reverse osmosis (RO) drinking water filtration systems directly into the sink deck.
Additionally, we plumb dedicated copper or PEX-A supply lines for wall-mounted stove-side pot fillers—allowing you to fill heavy stockpots directly over the burner—as well as durable braided brass connections for refrigerator ice makers, completely eliminating the brittle plastic hoses notorious for catastrophic kitchen floods.
Turnkey Single-Contractor Project Management & Permitting
With Total Plumbing & Construction, you work directly with founder Jason Smith from the initial concept design to the final punch-list walkthrough. We pull all necessary building, plumbing, gas, and electrical permits through the City of Orlando or Orange County, coordinating mandatory rough-in and final inspections seamlessly.
By unifying structural carpentry, custom solid wood cabinetry, quartz countertop fabrication, and master plumbing under a single licensed organization, we keep your kitchen remodel on schedule, on budget, and finished to the highest standards of Florida craftsmanship.

Professional Master Plumber vs. Unlicensed Handyman: What's at Stake
Plumbing failures under Florida's humid climate and high water tables carry severe structural risks. Here is why hiring a dual-licensed contractor safeguards your investment:
| Standard of Work | Total Plumbing Master Plumber | Unlicensed Handyman / DIY |
|---|---|---|
| Diagnostic Precision | Digital acoustic correlators, thermal imaging, and self-leveling HD sewer cameras pinpoint root issues without guesswork. | Blind guesswork, unnecessary trenching, and destructive jackhammering of finished tile or hardwood floors. |
| Florida Code & Permits | 100% compliant with Florida Building Code (8th Edition); official trade permits pulled with municipal building departments. | Zero permits pulled; uninspected work violates municipal ordinances and triggers real estate closing disputes. |
| Insurance & Liability | Fully insured with $2M commercial liability, workers' comp, and insurance 4-point certification documentation. | No workers' comp; homeowner is personally liable for job-site injuries, and claims may be denied by carriers. |
| Warranty Coverage | Up to 10-year transferable warranties on repiping and written guarantees on all parts and craftsmanship. | Verbal promises or "tail-light warranties" that vanish the moment the repair truck leaves your driveway. |
Permits & Inspections for Kitchen Remodeling in Central Florida
Under the Florida Building Code (Plumbing Volume, Section 105), plumbing modifications involving water heaters, whole-house repiping, sewer line excavations, and gas lines legally mandate trade permits and inspections.
We coordinate all filings with municipal building departments across Orange, Seminole, Lake, and Osceola Counties to ensure third-party structural sign-off.
Unpermitted plumbing repairs can give property insurance adjusters grounds to deny water damage claims. Our permit receipts protect your policy status.
Orlando Pricing Factors & Cost Expectations
Kitchen renovation costs reflect cabinet quantity and construction, countertop square footage, appliance packages, and plumbing/gas reconfiguration scope.
Key Variables Influencing Your Final Quote:
- Adding an island sink or dishwasher requiring slab trenching
- Converting electric cooktop to natural gas or propane line
- Cabinetry grade (stock RTA vs. semi-custom vs. full custom hardwoods)
- Countertop material (quartz, quartzite, granite, or butcher block)

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I relocate my kitchen sink to an island during a remodel?▼
Yes! We specialize in cutting concrete slabs and installing proper plumbing drains and island loop vents (or air admittance valves per local code) so you can place your sink wherever your design desires.
How long does a complete kitchen renovation take in Orlando?▼
A full kitchen renovation typically takes 3 to 5 weeks from demolition to final punch-list completion, depending on custom cabinet lead times and countertop fabrication schedules.
Do you handle the city permits for kitchen remodeling?▼
Yes. Total Plumbing & Construction handles all building, plumbing, gas, and electrical permits and inspections with the City of Orlando or Orange County.
Can you run a gas line to my kitchen if I currently have an electric stove?▼
Yes. As licensed gas piping specialists, we calculate household BTU capacity and run certified black iron or CSST gas lines from your exterior TECO gas meter or propane tank to your kitchen stove, completing full pressure testing and city inspection sign-off.
Why is a reverse osmosis (RO) system recommended during an Orlando kitchen remodel?▼
Orlando tap water contains significant dissolved mineral hardness and municipal chloramines that affect cooking flavor and damage ice maker solenoids. Installing a multi-stage under-sink reverse osmosis system during a remodel provides pure, bottle-quality water directly from an auxiliary faucet and supplies crystal-clear ice to your refrigerator.
How do you vent an island sink without a wall for a vertical plumbing vent stack?▼
Because island sinks are freestanding without an adjacent wall to run a vertical vent through the roof, the Florida Plumbing Code permits an engineered island fixture loop vent or an approved Air Admittance Valve (AAV). We install these code-compliant venting solutions inside the island cabinetry to equalize atmospheric pressure and guarantee smooth drainage without gurgling.
