Kitchen remodeling in Broward County & South Florida
Full custom kitchens — cabinetry, countertops, backsplashes, lighting and flooring — designed, built and finished by one accountable team. Insured ($1M liability), bilingual, free in-home estimates.
Most Broward kitchens are older than they look
The median home in Fort Lauderdale was built in 1973, and in Pompano Beach in 1974. That matters more than the finishes do. Behind a kitchen that looks merely dated sits half a century of plumbing, wiring and cabinetry that was never meant to run this long — and it is the reason two kitchens of the same size can quote thousands of dollars apart.
The most common surprise in this corridor is cast iron drain line. Homes built before about 1975 across Broward and Miami-Dade were plumbed with it, and it typically fails somewhere between forty and sixty years — which is now. We look for it before we quote, not after demolition, because finding it on day three is what turns a fixed price into a moving one.
The second is the cabinet boxes. If the boxes are square and solid, painting or refacing gives you a kitchen that reads as new for a fraction of a full replacement. If they are particleboard that has taken on water under the sink, no finish will save them and we will tell you that at the estimate rather than after you have paid for paint.
We quote in writing after seeing the space, we order materials before demolition starts so the job does not stall waiting on a countertop, and we clean up daily — because you are going to be living here while we work.

These are real ranges for Broward County, not national averages — most projects in this corridor land inside them. Your number depends on the size of the kitchen, the condition of what is behind the cabinets, and the materials you choose. Budget separately for permits: a Broward kitchen permit typically runs $500 to $2,000, and the City of Pompano Beach requires separate structural, plumbing, electrical and mechanical applications for a kitchen remodel, plus an association approval letter if you are not in a single-family home. We give you a written, itemized estimate after an in-home visit — usually within 24 hours.
What we need to quote your kitchen
The first question decides most of the number: are you buying the cabinets, or are we? Both are fine, and the estimate looks completely different depending on the answer. Have these ready and we can price it properly on the first visit.
Before we quote
- Whether you are supplying the cabinets or we are
- If you are supplying them — photos and the spec or quote from your supplier
- Linear feet of cabinet run, or the cabinet count
- Whether countertops are in scope, and which material you are leaning toward
- Backsplash area in square feet
- Full tear-out, or keeping the existing layout
- Appliances — yours to install, or ours to source
- Whether flooring is part of the job
On the day
- A spot where the crew can cut materials and leave tools for the duration
- Access to a restroom
- A plan for where you will cook — we will tell you honestly how long the kitchen is out
Choosing your countertop and cabinet route
- Quartz counters
- Granite counters
- Butcher block
- Painting the cabinets
- Refacing the cabinets
- Replacing the cabinets
Quartz counters
Engineered, non-porous and the default choice in South Florida for a reason: it does not need sealing, it shrugs off the humidity, and it holds a consistent pattern across a long run. The most forgiving surface if the kitchen gets heavy daily use.
Granite counters
Natural stone, every slab different, and still the better value per square foot at the mid range. It wants resealing every year or two — worth knowing before you choose it over quartz, because that is the whole practical difference for most households.
Butcher block
Warm, comparatively inexpensive, and repairable — you can sand out a burn or a deep cut, which you cannot do with stone. It needs oiling and it does not belong next to a sink in a humid climate unless it is sealed properly and you are willing to maintain it.
Painting the cabinets
If the boxes are square and solid, this is the highest-return decision in the whole project. We degrease, sand, prime for adhesion and spray the finish, so it stands up to daily use in Florida humidity. Usually under a week, and it keeps the kitchen usable throughout.
Refacing the cabinets
New doors, drawer fronts and veneer over the existing boxes. It changes the door style, not just the color, and it costs meaningfully less than replacement while taking a fraction of the time.
Replacing the cabinets
The right call when the boxes are water-damaged, out of square, or when you are changing the layout. It is also the only route that lets you rethink storage from scratch — deeper drawers, a pantry, different heights.

Frequently asked questions
- How much does a kitchen remodel cost in Broward County?
- Every kitchen is different, so we price by scope, not by square footage alone: cabinetry quality, countertop material, whether plumbing or electrical lines move, and flooring all drive the number. Instead of a guess, we give you a free written estimate after walking the space — typically within 24 hours of the visit — so you can compare it line by line with any other quote.
- How long does a kitchen remodel take?
- Most full kitchen remodels take 3–6 weeks from demolition to final walkthrough. Cabinet lead time is the biggest variable, which is why we order materials before demolition starts. Smaller updates — cabinet painting, backsplash and countertop swaps — often finish in under two weeks.
- Can I stay in my home during the remodel?
- Yes. We contain the work area, keep pathways clean, and set up so the rest of the home stays usable. Most clients live at home through the entire project; we simply agree on working hours and a temporary kitchen corner before we start.
- Do you handle permits, plumbing and electrical?
- We coordinate the full scope, including the plumbing and electrical work a kitchen requires, and we tell you up front — in the written estimate — exactly what is included. You deal with one team and one schedule, not a chain of subcontractors.
