SRQ Woodworks offers kitchen remodeling in Pebble Creek, the New Tampa golf community of 9,624 residents off Bruce B. Downs Boulevard, about 90 minutes (74 miles) from our Sarasota shop. It is one of the farthest points we serve, so the building happens in Sarasota and visits stay few and well planned.
Pebble Creek's quirk is its map. The CDP is unincorporated Hillsborough County, yet the City of Tampa wraps around it on three sides and Pasco County's Wesley Chapel sits to the north. Which office permits your project depends on which side of those lines your house falls.
New Tampa subdivisions off Bruce B. Downs and Cross Creek
Most homes here were built in the 1990s and 2000s in HOA neighborhoods around the golf course and along Cross Creek Boulevard: stucco over block, vaulted family rooms, and kitchens open to a breakfast area. Their builder cabinets are reaching the age where finishes wear through at the sink and drawer bottoms sag.
Owners here often want more than kitchen boxes: closets that actually organize, a study with real shelving, storage in the bonus room. Humidity is hard on melamine closet systems, so we lean toward sealed hardwood, as explained in closet systems for Florida humidity. We build custom closets and custom kitchen cabinets side by side in the shop.
Open plans raise the stakes on finish. With the kitchen in full view of a vaulted family room, a mismatched replacement door or a bare end panel shows from across the house, so we draw the kitchen, the breakfast area and any adjoining built-ins as one set of elevations.
Our process for the far north end of the county
Distance makes planning matter. Here is what to expect:
- A single measuring visit covering the kitchen and any closets or built-ins, with photos of ceilings and outlets.
- Working drawings and a 3D model sent for review, with revisions by email or video call.
- Cabinets made and finished on Lewis Ave, each drawer dovetailed and each face frame joined mortise-and-tenon.
- Installation on consecutive days, then coordination with the stone fabricator for countertop templating.
County or city permits at the Pasco line
Because Pebble Creek itself is unincorporated, licensed trades pull plumbing and electrical permits from Hillsborough County, while homes just outside the CDP may fall under the City of Tampa or Pasco County. We confirm the jurisdiction before the design is final. Our New Tampa coverage also takes in Thonotosassa, University and Lutz.
In practice the difference shows up in the portal your contractor uses. Hillsborough County takes applications through HillsGovHub, while the City of Tampa's Construction Services Division, part of its Development and Growth Management Department, takes them through Accela Citizen Access. North of the line in Wesley Chapel, Pasco County runs a separate building department of its own.
Kitchen remodeling in Pebble Creek and closet upgrades
These are the services that suit New Tampa homes of this age.
Kitchen Remodeling
Kitchen redesigns that update open builder layouts, with licensed trades handling any relocated lines. Typical moves here: fold the desk nook into the cabinetry, widen the island and turn the sink run toward the family room.
Custom Kitchen Cabinets
Hardwood cabinets replacing worn builder boxes on the existing footprint. Keeping the footprint off Cross Creek Boulevard means the plumbing and island outlets stay put, so licensed trades have little to move.
Custom Closets
Sealed hardwood closet systems for primary suites in place of sagging melamine shelves. Drawer banks and hanging sections are sized to the wardrobe on the first visit, and sealed hardwood holds up through humid New Tampa summers.
Home Office Cabinetry
Study and bonus-room cabinetry for households that work from home. We fit file drawers, a printer pull-out and closed storage into a spare bedroom or bonus room, finished to match the new kitchen down the hall.
Pantry & Kitchen Storage
Builder pantries in Pebble Creek homes of this age are usually reach-in closets with wire shelves. Wood roll-outs and adjustable shelving in the same opening put far more of it within easy reach.
Entertainment Centers & TV Walls
A vaulted family room open to the kitchen leaves one tall wall for the TV. A media wall built from the kitchen's wood and door style keeps both rooms reading as one space.

FAQ
Pebble Creek kitchen remodeling questions
Is Pebble Creek too far for SRQ Woodworks to serve?
No, though at about 90 minutes from Sarasota it is near the edge of our map. We plan around the distance: one thorough measuring visit, design review by email and video, a complete build in our shop, and an install scheduled over consecutive days. That way you get custom work without a string of extra trips.
Do I need a City of Tampa or a Hillsborough County permit?
Inside the Pebble Creek CDP, permits come from Hillsborough County because the area is unincorporated, even though mailing addresses read Tampa. Neighborhoods just south and east may sit inside City of Tampa limits. If plumbing or wiring moves, the licensed trades pull the permit, and we verify your parcel's jurisdiction during design so nothing stalls.
