Kitchen Remodeling in Middleburg, FL
Mark Tivey personally manages every kitchen remodeling project in Middleburg — design through final inspection, on one Florida-licensed contract (CGC1511598). 37+ years of Northeast Florida-specific work, no subcontracted oversight.
Built to Middleburg standards.
Middleburg's 87.2% owner-occupancy rate is the highest in Tivey's service area, and lots are typically larger than the Fleming Island norm — making custom additions, detached shops, and pool projects core to the local remodeling market. Mark's institutional cost-control discipline (audits on Guaranteed Maximum Price contracts producing significant savings, per his résumé) is a direct match for the no-surprises ethos rural Clay homeowners expect.

The questions Middleburg homeowners ask first.
Can I still use my kitchen during the remodel?
Kitchen access during remodeling varies by project scope. For cosmetic updates or projects completed in phases, you may have limited kitchen use with some disruption. During major remodels, your kitchen will be largely unusable for several weeks. Many homeowners set up temporary kitchens in another room with a microwave, coffee maker, and mini-fridge. I can sometimes maintain sink access longer or restore it quickly, and I work to have your kitchen functional for evenings and weekends when possible.
What should I consider when planning my kitchen layout?
The kitchen work triangle—the relationship between your sink, stove, and refrigerator—is fundamental for efficient workflow. Each leg should be 4-9 feet, with clear pathways between stations. Consider how you cook: do you need abundant prep space, multiple work zones for multiple cooks, or proximity to dining areas for serving? Plan for adequate storage with cabinets positioned near where items will be used. Ensure proper clearances—at least 42 inches for walkways, 36 inches minimum for work aisles.
Should I choose stock, semi-custom, or custom cabinets?
Stock cabinets are pre-manufactured in standard sizes, offering the most affordable option with quicker availability. They come in limited sizes, styles, and finishes but work well for straightforward layouts and tighter budgets. Semi-custom cabinets offer more size options, door styles, finishes, and organizational features while maintaining reasonable pricing—they're the most popular choice for kitchen remodels. Custom cabinets are built specifically for your space with unlimited design possibilities but cost significantly more and have longer lead times.
