Kitchen Remodel in Spring Hill, FL
Honest price. Clear timeline. No vanishing act. Cosmetic refreshes to full gut remodels with one licensed contractor managing every detail.
Spring Hill kitchens from the 1990s and early 2000s have a very specific look: raised-panel oak cabinets in a honey stain, ceramic tile countertops with colored grout stained beyond recovery, and a layout designed around 1992's idea of where the refrigerator should go. In Sterling Hill, where much of the housing stock dates to the late 1970s through 1990s, the polybutylene supply lines running to the kitchen sink and dishwasher show oxidation stress fractures at connection points — visible only when the cabinet box is removed during demolition. In communities like Timber Pines, work scheduling matters as much as material selection: the community enforces a 6 a.m.-to-7 p.m. work window with a 72-hour material staging limit, which shapes how Drome Contracting sequences deliveries and demolition debris removal. Hernando County Development Services processes permits through eTRAKiT at 20 N Main St, Brooksville, (352) 754-4000, with typical 10-to-15-business-day review under license CGC1515971.

FAQ
Common Questions
My Spring Hill kitchen floor tiles are cracking. Should I be concerned about the foundation?
In Hernando County, cracked floor tiles in a straight or diagonal pattern can indicate foundation movement from the limestone karst beneath the slab. The cover-subsidence mechanism is gradual, not catastrophic, but it does cause measurable floor plane shifts over time. Drome Contracting levels the floor and assesses for movement before cabinet layout is finalized — if the slab is shifting, installing new tile and cabinets over the problem produces cracked results within a year.
Should I replace the kitchen plumbing during a Spring Hill remodel?
If your home is from the Sterling Hill area or elsewhere in Spring Hill and was built between 1978 and 1998, the supply lines running to your kitchen sink and dishwasher are almost certainly polybutylene. Internal oxidation stress fractures are found at more than 65% of poly-B connections in Sterling Hill homes from the late 1970s era. Since the cabinet boxes come out during a remodel anyway, replacing poly-B with PEX at that point adds minimal cost compared to doing it as a standalone project later.
What is the work schedule for a kitchen remodel inside Timber Pines?
Timber Pines enforces construction hours from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m., with noise restrictions that effectively push loud demolition work to start no earlier than 8 a.m. Materials cannot be staged on your property for more than 72 hours. Drome Contracting sequences the demolition, cabinet delivery, and appliance delivery on a daily schedule that complies with community rules while maintaining project momentum.
How long does a kitchen remodel take in Spring Hill?
Cosmetic refreshes take 2-4 weeks. Full gut remodels take 6-10 weeks depending on scope, material lead times, and Hernando County inspection scheduling.
Can I use my kitchen during a remodel?
For cosmetic refreshes, partial use is sometimes possible. For full remodels, plan on setting up a temporary kitchen elsewhere in your home for 4-8 weeks.
Do kitchen remodels require permits in Hernando County?
Yes, if the project involves plumbing, electrical, or structural changes. Cosmetic-only work (paint, hardware, countertop replacement without plumbing changes) typically does not require a permit.
