Kitchen & Bath Remodeling in Ave Maria, FL

Ave Maria is one of the newest towns in Southwest Florida — a master-planned community in eastern Collier County, built around its town center and Ave Maria University, about 20 miles from North Naples. Most homes here were built from the late 2000s onward by national builders, including Del Webb Naples, the town’s active-adult community of roughly 1,400 homes, along with neighborhoods by CC Homes, Lennar, and Pulte.

That makes Ave Maria different from older parts of Naples. The bones of these homes are usually sound; what owners want to change are the builder-grade finishes and the layouts that were never chosen with them in mind. A&E 24 Renovations is a small, family-run remodeling business based in Naples. Enmanuel and Ashley lead every Ave Maria project personally, and you get one fixed price in writing before any work begins.

What remodeling in Ave Maria involves

Newer homes, builder-grade finishes. Many Ave Maria kitchens came with standard cabinets, basic laminate or entry-level granite, and a single flooring choice throughout. Upgrading those finishes — without moving walls or plumbing — is often the best-value project in town, because the layout and systems are already in good shape.

Builder warranties. If your home is only a few years old, part of it may still be covered by the builder’s warranty. It is worth checking how a remodel could affect that coverage before work starts, and we are glad to talk it through with you.

Associations and gated access. Most Ave Maria neighborhoods have homeowners associations, and gated communities such as Del Webb Naples usually require outside companies to be registered or announced before they can enter. Interior remodels rarely need association approval, but we always check your community’s rules and arrange access before day one.

Permits. Ave Maria is in unincorporated Collier County, so any permits go through Collier County. Work that moves plumbing, electrical, or walls usually needs one. We help you understand what your project needs before any work begins.

The Ave Maria projects we are asked for most

• Tub-to-shower conversions — replacing a tub nobody uses with a walk-in shower that is easy to step into and waterproofed properly underneath.
• Builder-grade kitchen upgrades — quartz or natural stone countertops, a new backsplash, upgraded or new cabinetry, and better lighting.
• Flooring throughout — replacing bedroom carpet and mismatched tile with continuous luxury vinyl plank or porcelain flooring that is cool, durable, and easy to clean.
• Primary bath refresh — new vanity, comfort-height counters, better lighting, and tile you actually chose.
• Interior painting to move past builder beige, room by room or all at once.

What an Ave Maria remodel typically costs

Because most Ave Maria homes are newer and the layouts usually stay the same, many projects here cost less than a full coastal remodel. As a planning guide: a builder-grade kitchen upgrade with new counters, backsplash, and cabinet changes often runs $20,000 to $45,000, and a full kitchen remodel $45,000 to $75,000. A tub-to-shower conversion typically runs $10,000 to $20,000, and a full primary bath remodel $20,000 to $40,000. Whole-home flooring is one of the highest-impact upgrades for the money.

Walk-in showers for the next 15 years

Many Del Webb Naples owners tell us the same thing: they love the home, but stepping over the tub is getting old. A walk-in shower solves it without looking medical — a wide opening, a low or zero threshold, and a bench or niche where you want one. The part you never see matters most: a waterproofing membrane, a correctly sloped pan, and sealed niches and corners. We explain all of it in Getting Rid of the Tub.

How an Ave Maria project runs

We visit your home, listen to how you use the space, and give you clear options at different price points. Once you choose, you get one fixed price and a schedule in writing. We arrange community access ahead of time, protect your floors, keep the site clean and safe every day, and keep you updated as the work moves along. When we finish, we walk through everything together, and your workmanship is backed in writing. Enmanuel or Ashley is always the person you talk to.
