Chef-Inspired Kitchens
Elevating St. Pete's architectural footprint from outdated galleys to luxury culinary centerpieces. True master craftsmanship in every mitered joint.
We Don't Stop at the Quartzite. We Rebuild the Bones.
A beautiful kitchen means nothing if it’s sitting on rotting 1950s cast iron plumbing.
At Runestone Renovation, our kitchen overhauls involve rigorous structural engineering. Most St. Pete bungalows require failing plaster removal, subfloor leveling, and massive electrical box upgrades to support modern luxury appliances. While volume contractors just install cheap MDF cabinets over your old problems, we execute "down-to-the-studs" restorations so your new kitchen lasts a lifetime.
- FEMA 50% Rule Navigation: We manage appraisal margins.
- Structural Steel Beams: Safely creating "Open Concept" layouts.
- Infrastructure Upgrades: PVC stacks & dedicated 20-amp circuits.

Kitchen Remodeling FAQ
How long will I be without a kitchen?
Once demolition starts, a massive Kitchen Structural Overhaul typically takes 8-12 weeks. We completely eliminate supply-chain delays by refusing to swing a sledgehammer until every custom cabinet box and appliance is safely staged in our local warehouse.
Can I supply my own cheap cabinets?
Out of immense respect for our craftsmanship, we do not install big-box store MDF cabinets. We only install custom, solid-plywood cabinetry that can support the structural weight of quartzite slabs without bowing over time.
