Their showroom shows terrific craftsmanship and attention to detail. > Having a designer on staff is a huge help is making sure the design works! ### All 4 reviews **★ — E.F., Aug. 2024** > Feedback for Future Customers: My Experience with Cabex and my full Kitchen Remodel project. > I recently completed a kitchen remodel with Cabex, costing over $100K+. I'd like to share my experience to help future customers make informed decisions. > Pros: > •Project Planning: They provided a project plan and generally adhered to it. > •Product Knowledge and Design: Their expertise in kitchen design and product knowledge convinced us to choose them. > Cons: > •Lack of Cost Transparency: When signing the contract, Cabex does not provide a detailed cost breakdown. Even if requested, it is not provided. Be aware of this. > •Customer Service Issues: When problems arise during the project, customer service is poor. They tend to deflect responsibility and ownership. > •Lack of Empathy: After being without a kitchen for months, their empathy for our situation was non-existent. > •Follow-Up: Follow-up by the owner to address issues or concerns was poor at best. > Summary: My overall experience with Cabex did not meet my expectations, especially considering the significant investment. The key issues were the lack of customer service and ownership. I provided them with this feedback after the project's conclusion. I hope future customers find this information useful before engaging with Cabex for their projects. **Comment from Cabex Construction:** > Thank you for your feedback. We genuinely appreciate the opportunity to complete your full kitchen and home renovation and are pleased that you recognized our design expertise, product knowledge, and adherence to the project schedule. > > Regarding the concern referenced after project completion, we would like to clarify for future readers that the water leak originated from a pre-existing issue within the home’s plumbing system in an area that was not part of our construction scope and had not been accessed during the renovation. When the issue was discovered late on a Friday, our team responded immediately, arrived on site the same day, cleaned and dried the affected area, installed mitigation equipment, and brought in an independent mold remediation professional to verify conditions. No damage or mold was found. > > While we understand that unexpected situations during a renovation can be stressful, our team acted quickly and responsibly to protect the home and ensure there were no lasting impacts. > > Regarding pricing structure, Cabex operates as a design-build firm using a contract model that clearly outlines scope, specifications, and total project investment prior to construction. This structure is standard within the design-build industry and is discussed in detail with clients before contract execution. > > We strive to provide exceptional craftsmanship, communication, and service to every client, and we regret that your experience did not meet your expectations. We remain available to discuss any concerns directly and wish you many years of enjoyment in your new kitchen and renovated space. > > — Cabex Construction **★★★★★ — HU-202126136, Jan. 2021** > If you looking for a professional and honest contractor, stop looking any further. These people are the most helpful that I have had the pleasure of doing business with. You can not go wrong going here! **★★★★★ — kellylpace, June 2020** > We have performed several projects with Cabex. The professional service we received was outstanding. The attention to detail was exceptional. All projects have some issues, but Cabex had a solution that actually saved us money. Great Company. **Comment from Cabex Construction:** > Thank you so much for the positive feedback!

The modern elements consist of a marble-look porcelain, which showcases high style with low maintenance, and we combined that with walnut cabinets. Merging these finishes with multi-functional design element… - [Condo Build-Out](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/condo-build-out-pj-vj~5682393) - Location: Sarasota, FL - Photos: 18 - Description: Full condo build-out including kitchen and bathroom in Sarasota. - [Riverwalk Oaks Bathroom Remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/riverwalk-oaks-bathroom-remodel-pj-vj~6591610) - Location: Lakewood Ranch, FL - Photos: 14 - Description: The client wanted to change their traditional Lakewood Ranch master bathroom into a modern retreat. We were able to convert the traditional everyday master bathroom with an oversized, unused built-in bathtub and small shower space to create a true spa-like experience with a beautiful and much more functional, two-person shower, spicing it up with a 3D-textured back wall tile and proper lighting for maximum effect. Other changes included removing the three wall-angled vanities with full height mi… - [Master Bath Remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/master-bath-remodel-pj-vj~6198154) - Location: Bradenton, FL - Photos: 7 - Description: Master bathroom remodel in Bradenton, FL. - [Rivo on Ringling Penthouse Remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/rivo-on-ringling-penthouse-remodel-pj-vj~6539634) - Location: Sarasota, FL - Photos: 25 - Description: Full Penthouse Remodel in Rivo at Ringling in Downtown Sarasota including kitchen, guest baths, master suite, living room, ceilings, flooring, and entryway, - [Ritz Residences Condo Build-Outs](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/ritz-residences-condo-build-outs-pj-vj~6942032) - Location: Sarasota, FL - Photos: 13 - Description: A Ritz condo surrounded by the best that Sarasota has to offer from boardwalks to marinas to restaurants to Sarasota Bay should have nothing but the best when it comes to its interior. The new Ritz-Carlton Residences in Downtown Sarasota exemplifies luxury living, and each of the 73 condominium residences deserve every chance they can get to show off the luxurious lifestyle they have to offer. With developer-built kitchens and bathrooms, it already had the essentials, but the wow factor wasn’t j… - [Sea Gate Condo Kitchen Remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/sea-gate-condo-kitchen-remodel-pj-vj~6844313) - Location: Longboat Key, FL - Photos: 9 - Description: The kitchen originally had some of the typical things that homeowners want to update like the standard white cabinets and the raised panels. This homeowner really wanted to bring his kitchen up to date and go a lot more modern. Regarding the backsplash, we wanted to update the design element from a glass tile with a multi-color pattern that had a bit of a modern element to it to a new glass mosaic tile that brought in some of the blue tones from the ocean that’s right outside the window, which i… - [Ritz Residence Build-Outs](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/ritz-residence-build-outs-pj-vj~6941995) - Location: Sarasota, FL - Photos: 6 - Description: Build-outs with electric fireplaces in condos in Sarasota's Ritz Residences. - [Brier Creek Full Home Remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/brier-creek-full-home-remodel-pj-vj~7029690) - Location: Lakewood Ranch, FL - Photos: 13 - Description: This home already had an open floor plan (as seen in the before photo above), but we opened it up even more. For example, when you first walked into the home, you passed two concrete columns that reflected the existing Mediterranean and Spanish style of the home and entered the dining room (we ended up boxing out and enclosing these round columns). Also, the dining room sat in a corner beside a wall that separated you from the kitchen. What we did was remove this wall to not only open the area b… - [Heritage Oaks Master Bath Remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/heritage-oaks-master-bath-remodel-pj-vj~6942110) - Location: Sarasota, FL - Photos: 7 - Description: Master bath remodel in Sarasota's Heritage Oaks Golf & Country Club. - [Rive Isle Kitchen Remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/rive-isle-kitchen-remodel-pj-vj~7121400) - Location: Parrish, FL - Photos: 9 - Description: Despite kitchen remodels trending toward having more colorful cabinets, daring hues, and bold backsplashes, there will always be a place for the minimalist white kitchen design. That’s exactly the kind of kitchen these Parrish homeowners wanted us to design for their Rive Isle kitchen remodel. This kitchen transformation depicts a mostly white space with extra touches of luxury with chocolate and coffee finishes compared to the original kitchen of dark wood cabinets. This kitchen was an updating… - [Stoneybrook Full Home Remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/stoneybrook-full-home-remodel-pj-vj~6196918) - Location: Sarasota, FL - Photos: 17 - Description: Driving by this home in Sarasota’s Stoneybrook Golf & Country Club, you wouldn’t guess the stunning transformation you’d see inside if you walked through the front door.

We removed the tub completely since the homeowners never really used it as it was too much of a slip hazard for them. In place of this tub, the homeowners wanted more of a seating area and a larger space for the vanity that has a Pompeii Quartz Serenata marble-look tile and polished nickel hardware. The removal of the tub gave them a much more functional usage of the space. The shower stayed in the same footprint but loo… - [River Strand Kitchen Remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/river-strand-kitchen-remodel-pj-vj~7029719) - Location: Bradenton, FL - Photos: 8 - Description: White never disappoints when giving a kitchen a timeless look.

This kitchen has all of your bells and whistles from your dividers above the oven, your roll-out shelves and pantries, and drawer systems underneath the oven. On one side of the counter, there’s a wine cooler. We had a frame made by Elmwood to match the cabinetry on the wine cooler to give it an integrated… - [Longboat Key Bathroom Remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/longboat-key-bathroom-remodel-pj-vj~6113467) - Location: Longboat Key, FL - Photos: 8 - Description: Master bath remodel in Longboat Key. - [Sea Gate Penthouse Build-Out](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/sea-gate-penthouse-build-out-pj-vj~6503122) - Location: Longboat Key, FL - Photos: 19 - Description: Beginning with the kitchen, we did what so many homeowners are asking for and tore down the wall that separated the kitchen from the living room. Everyone wants that open floor plan. This condo definitely needed it so that the homeowner could have that waterfront view even when in the kitchen. Polo blue cabinets by Elmwood Custom Cabinetry replaced the unimpressive white cabinets, giving the unit a much needed pop of color. The blue blends in perfectly with the reflections from the water outside… [See all 40 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/design-build-firms/cabex-construction-pfvwus-pf~1043490440) ## Video - [Company video](https://player.vimeo.com/external/1166741351.m3u8?s=169035e975b5e2bd8e7e0b4722d8dd25dba632f2&oauth2_token_id=1384357804) ## Frequently Asked Questions **Do you manage permitting and approvals?** Yes, we manage all necessary permitting and approvals for your project.
