Call (754) 254-7676

We’ve remodeled kitchens in Fort Lauderdale’s 1960s CBS ranches, 1980s split-levels, and the newer master-planned communities off Davie Boulevard and Stirling Road. The housing stock here is concrete block and stucco, mostly built before modern hurricane-strap requirements, which means we regularly open walls to find shared drains, cast-iron rough-ins, and electrical panels that need upgrading before the first cabinet goes in. That familiarity matters. A crew that knows Fort Lauderdale’s slab construction, its HVHZ product-approval rules, and its flood-zone elevations won’t pause mid-project to research what a Palm Beach contractor already guessed wrong.

Why Rowan Construction Group Fort Lauderdale Is Fort Lauderdale’s Preferred Kitchen Remodeling Company

Rowan Construction Group has delivered more than 4,000 projects since 2007, every one with a written price before work started and a documented photo record when the crew left. In Fort Lauderdale, that discipline translates to kitchens that finish within a few percent of the quoted number, because no change proceeds without a signed change order. Clause 1 of The Haven Standard requires it.

Our Fort Lauderdale customers receive the same documentation: a flat written quote with line-item scope, a 365-Day Done Right Promise printed with terms, and a photo record of every visit included as standard. Background-checked, uniformed technicians arrive with the quote already reviewed; a live person answers calls 24/7. We also offer a Free Second Opinion on any written estimate from another contractor, reviewed line by line at no charge.

Response time to Fort Lauderdale neighborhoods averages same-week scheduling for estimates, with kitchen remodels typically starting within two to four weeks of signed agreement depending on material lead times. We know the difference between a Rio Vista 1968 slab and a Victoria Park townhouse kitchen, and we quote accordingly.

Our Kitchen Remodeling Services in Fort Lauderdale

Full Kitchen Remodeling

A full kitchen remodel in Fort Lauderdale strips the room to studs or slab and rebuilds layout, mechanicals, finishes, and fixtures. In this market, that often means reworking cast-iron drain lines buried in the slab, upgrading electrical for modern appliance loads, and selecting cabinets and countertops that withstand South Florida humidity. We quote full remodels from $14,000-$45,000, with written scope that specifies every brand and spec before demolition.

Cabinets & Countertops

This is where most Fort Lauderdale owners start. Builder-grade cabinets in the city’s 1960s-1980s stock and newer master-planned homes are typically the first replacement, and for good reason: particleboard boxes swell in humid months, and laminate tops stain within a few years. We install KraftMaid and Wellborn cabinet lines with plywood construction, paired with Cambria or Caesarstone quartz countertops that carry full warranties in Florida’s climate. Cabinet installation runs $4,000-$13,000; countertops $2,000-$6,500. Both quoted in writing before order.

Kitchen Design & Layout

Fort Lauderdale’s older homes often have galley kitchens or closed-off layouts that don’t match how owners actually cook. Our design process measures the existing space, notes structural walls and shared plumbing stacks, then proposes layouts that respect the CBS construction without pretending a load-bearing wall is decorative. In newer master-planned communities, we also review HOA architectural guidelines before finalizing plans, because many Fort Lauderdale developments require pre-approval for exterior window changes or structural modifications.

Small & Partial Kitchen Remodels

Not every Fort Lauderdale kitchen needs full demolition. Partial remodels target the components that date fastest: cabinet refacing, countertop replacement, backsplash upgrade, or appliance swap with panel modifications. These projects run $9,000-$20,000 and typically finish faster than full remodels, with less disruption to households where the kitchen is the primary gathering space. We flag what can be refaced versus what needs replacement, and we quote both paths so you can compare.

Backsplash, Tile & Flooring

Fort Lauderdale kitchens need moisture-resistant finishes. We install porcelain and ceramic backsplash tile from $800-$2,500, with grout specifications matched to the application’s exposure. Flooring selections account for slab-on-grade construction; we specify moisture barriers and installation methods appropriate for concrete substrates in flood-adjacent neighborhoods. Every material is vetted for the local climate, not just the catalog photo.

Kitchen Island Installation

Island additions require electrical and often plumbing rough-ins through the slab, which in Fort Lauderdale’s older stock means locating original cast-iron or copper lines before cutting. We quote island installation from $3,000-$10,000 with exploratory provisions built in, so you’re not surprised by what sits beneath the concrete.

Trusted Brands We Service in Fort Lauderdale

Our sourcing runs fifty-plus vetted brands across seven trades, and for Fort Lauderdale kitchens we stock and specify KraftMaid and Wellborn cabinets, Cambria and Caesarstone quartz countertops, and Kohler and Toto fixtures. These aren’t placeholder names; they’re the products we quote with real local pricing because we maintain supplier relationships that keep lead times predictable and replacement parts available. A written quote from Rowan names the exact SKU, not “or equivalent.” That’s the difference between a number you can screenshot and compare, and a number that shifts once the order goes in.

Common Kitchen Remodeling Problems We See in Fort Lauderdale Homes

• HVHZ product-approval failures. Broward County is one of only two Florida counties in the High Velocity Hurricane Zone. An exterior kitchen window or patio door installed without separate HVHZ product approval fails inspection sign-off and forces a full re-order. We verify approval numbers before quoting.
• Builder-warranty voids on newer homes. Fort Lauderdale’s master-planned communities often carry structural warranties that prohibit wall modifications or appliance relocation without notification. We review warranty terms before cutting into CBS shared walls or moving range rough-ins.
• Slab plumbing surprises in postwar stock. In neighborhoods like Rio Vista and Colee Hammock, we regularly find original cast-iron drain lines still active beneath 1960s slabs. A kitchen island or sink relocation triggers a full rough-in re-pipe, scoped and quoted before the saw hits concrete.
• Flood-corridor scheduling conflicts. Fort Lauderdale’s ongoing street-raising and pump-station programs in finger-isle neighborhoods mean active utility work can shift depths and close roads mid-project. We check municipal infrastructure schedules before setting delivery dates for cabinets and countertops.
