Valrico is one of the larger communities east of Tampa. Apollo Beach Custom Cabinets helps Valrico homeowners upgrade kitchens, baths and closets with cabinets that fit their space and their style. This page explains how we approach work in Valrico.

Valrico facts

  • Valrico is an unincorporated community in east-central Hillsborough County. The 2020 census counted 37,895 residents.
  • The name was adopted in the 1880s and is described as meaning rich valley.
  • It sits about 14 miles east of Tampa along State Road 60, next to Brandon, Bloomingdale and FishHawk.
  • The census listed 14,347 housing units, with 4.5 percent vacant.
  • Growth picked up in the 1950s after State Road 60 was linked to Tampa.

A community of family homes

With more than 14,000 housing units, Valrico has a wide range of homes. In a house with several people, cabinets get used all day. We plan storage so each person has a place for their things. A shared kids' bath, for example, can get a vanity with a separate drawer for each child.

Modern or traditional?

Style is the first question many Valrico homeowners ask. Flat-panel doors give a clean, modern look. Raised-panel and shaker doors feel warmer and more classic. Neither is better. It depends on your home and your taste. See our full comparison of modern and traditional cabinet doors, or browse our modern kitchen cabinets page for contemporary options.

The kitchen as a family hub

Homework, snacks and dinner all happen in the same room. A well-planned kitchen separates those zones. Put the snack drawer low so kids can reach it. Keep knives and hot pans higher. Give the cook a clear work aisle. The NKBA suggests a 42 inch aisle for one cook and 48 inches when two cooks share the room. Our kitchen cabinet installation service puts those numbers into practice.

Primary bath and closet upgrades

If your home has a large primary suite, a double vanity with a drawer stack for each person ends the daily fight over counter space. A matching linen tower adds storage. In the closet, custom closet cabinets organize clothing and shoes by season, so the room feels larger. Check our custom bathroom cabinets for design ideas.

Florida conditions to plan for

Heat, humidity and summer storms are normal in Hillsborough County. Choose finishes that resist moisture. Keep cabinets away from direct sun if you can, because strong light fades some finishes. Allow airflow around the dishwasher and under the sink. These small choices extend the life of a cabinet.

Garage and laundry

Many families store sports gear, tools and holiday boxes in the garage. Garage cabinets and a laundry room cabinet run near the door help keep clutter out of the house.

Colors and finishes that age well

White and light gray remain popular because they brighten a room. Wood tones add warmth and hide fingerprints better. Dark colors look rich, but they show dust and scratches more. Bring a sample of your counter and floor to the visit, so we can check colors in your light. Strong afternoon sun can change how a finish looks, which is worth testing before you decide.

Lighting that shows off your work

Good light turns a nice kitchen into a great one. Add strip lights under the uppers to wash the counter. Place small lights inside glass doors, so dishes glow. Use dimmers to shift from task light to dinner mood. Plan the wiring before cabinets go up, since it is far easier then.

Phase your remodel

Start with the kitchen, then move to the baths and closets. Draw one plan for all rooms, so door styles and hardware match when you finish.

Nearby places

We also serve Fish Hawk to the south, Lithia and Plant City, which is about ten miles northeast.

Valrico FAQs

Can you work with the cabinet style I already have?

Yes. If you add to an existing kitchen, we can match door styles and finishes.

Do you install in new construction?

Yes. Share your floor plan and appliance list early, so we can size cabinets correctly.

Can I replace only the doors?

Often yes, if the boxes are in good condition. We check the boxes at your visit.

How do I compare quotes?

Ask each company what the boxes are made of, what hardware is included and who handles install. Our cost guide lists the main price drivers.

Can you add a pantry to a kitchen with no space?

Often yes. A tall pantry cabinet can replace a narrow wall section or fit into a corner.
