We’ve worked Cambria Construction in Oakland Park, FL and Fort Lauderdale kitchens since the brand’s slab sizes grew from the original 48-inch runs to the current jumbo formats that cover large islands without a seam. That evolution matters here because Fort Lauderdale’s housing stock - mostly CBS construction from the 1960s through 1980s - was built with smaller kitchens and narrower doorways than modern plans. Getting a 132-inch Britannica slab into a Rio Vista ranch or a Colee Hammock bungalow without a drywall cut is part of the job, and we price that access work in writing before we templating.
We are an independent construction firm, not an authorized Cambria dealer or warranty provider. Our loyalty is to your kitchen and your budget, not to a manufacturer’s sales quota. That independence means we can repair a chipped Cambria edge instead of pushing a full replacement, and we can source quality aftermarket sinks and mounting hardware when the OEM option doesn’t fit your cabinet layout.
Why Trust Rowan Construction Group Fort Lauderdale for Your Cambria Construction?
Our crew knows Cambria’s product line from fabrication to finish. We’ve templated Ella in Las Olas Isles condos where the elevator opening limits slab size, and we’ve cut Torquay for Victoria Park homeowners who wanted the marble look without the etching. Grant Rowan, who grew up watching crews retrofit older homes in Beverly Hills and trained at Los Angeles Trade-Technical College before putting in years on residential projects, brought that standard to Fort Lauderdale. He reads a set of plans the way most people read a menu - fast, but without missing anything - and his estimates list material brands by name, line items in plain language, no bundled charges.
We carry Cambria-specific diamond tooling for clean cuts without micro-fractures, color-matched seam adhesive that flexes with slab-on-grade foundation movement, and a stock of aftermarket undermount sink rails and support brackets sized for Cambria’s 1.25-inch and 2-centimeter profiles. Every technician is background-checked and uniformed; every visit includes a documented photo record as standard, not an upgrade. Under Clause 1 of The Haven Standard, your price is written before anyone picks up a tool. Under Clause 3, no change proceeds without a signed change order - the discipline that has kept our projects within a few percent of the agreed cost across 4,000-plus jobs since 2007.
Measure twice, write it down, then say it once. That’s how we scope Cambria work in Fort Lauderdale.
Common Cambria Construction Problems We Fix in Fort Lauderdale

- Chipping along polished edges and sink cutouts. Cambria Britannica and Berwyn show this most often in humid, high-traffic kitchens where a heavy cast-iron pan or a dropped bottle hits an unsupported overhang. The chip usually extends past the polish layer into the body of the slab. We repair with color-matched epoxy fill and re-profile the edge with a supported round-over, or we replace the section if the crack runs deep.
- Staining or hazing on light Cambria designs. Britannica’s white ground with grey veining looks great until red wine or citrus cleaner sits overnight. Cambria is nonporous, not stain-proof - the resin binder can react with prolonged acid exposure. We surface-hone the affected area and apply a Cambria-friendly sealer that doesn’t void the manufacturer’s finish warranty, then re-polish to match the surrounding sheen.
- Visible seam creep over time. This happens when installers use brittle epoxy and rigid-set seams in Fort Lauderdale homes with slab-on-grade foundations that shift slightly with seasonal moisture changes. Our crew uses flexible, color-matched seam adhesive with a 1/16-inch relief gap that absorbs movement without opening the seam. In Victoria Park, where mature tree roots and older fill soils create more foundation movement than newer developments, this detail matters.
- Impact cracks near undermount sinks or cooktops. The cutout was too close to the edge, or the cabinet frame wasn’t dead-flat when the slab went in. Cambria tolerates compression well but not point-load flex. We assess whether the crack is localized - repairable with reinforcement and a new sink rail - or whether it runs through a load-bearing edge that requires replacement. We tell you which in the written estimate.
- Backsplash separation from countertop movement. In Fort Lauderdale’s HVHZ environment, impact-rated window and door upgrades often change wall stiffness and transfer vibration to adjacent surfaces. A full-height Cambria backsplash behind a gas range can delaminate if the wall substrate wasn’t prepped for the combined weight. We remove, re-embed on cement board with proper thinset, and re-seal with movement joints at changes of plane.

AfterCambria Parts & Our Repair-vs-Replace Approach
We use Cambria-specific diamond tooling, color-matched seam adhesive, and Cambria-approved fabrication guidelines for durability. As an independent shop, we source quality aftermarket sinks, faucets, and mounting hardware from brands like Kohler and Toto when the OEM option doesn’t fit your cabinet depth or when you’re matching existing fixtures in a partial remodel.
If a crack is localized - say, a 3-inch chip on a Britannica island edge - we often repair and refinish the Cambria top in place. If it runs through a seam or a load-bearing edge, or if the substrate underneath is failing, replacement is the honest call. We don’t bundle that decision into a sales pitch. The written estimate shows both options where both exist, with the price and timeline for each. Call (754) 254-7676 and we’ll look at it.
Our Cambria Service Process - Step by Step

- 1
Diagnosis and templating. We measure your existing Cambria or cabinet layout with digital templating for jumbo slabs, checking cabinet flatness with a 6-foot level and marking cutout locations for sinks, cooktops, and faucet drillings. We note foundation type - slab-on-grade, stem wall, or elevated - because that determines seam placement and overhang support.
- 2
Fabrication and edge profiling. Your slab is cut with continuous-rim diamond blades, not segmented blades that leave micro-fractures. Edge profiles - eased, beveled, ogee, or the 1/4-inch round-over we often recommend for high-traffic Fort Lauderdale kitchens - are shaped wet to control silica dust.
- 3
Installation and seam work. We set the slab on silicone bed with mechanical clips at overhangs, seam with color-matched adhesive, and support all cutouts with sink rails or cooktop brackets. In Britannica and Ella, where the veining needs to align across seams, we dry-fit before final bonding.
- 4
Testing and documentation. We check seam level with a straightedge, verify faucet and fixture alignment, and photograph the finished installation for your record. You get the photo set, the written warranty, and the 365-Day Done Right Promise before we leave.
Cambria Products We Service & Install in Fort Lauderdale
We work the full Cambria quartz line: Britannica, Ella, Torquay, and Berwyn, in both the original 48-by-96-inch slabs and the current jumbo formats, including Cambria Construction in Wilton Manors, FL. We stock color-matched seam adhesive for the most common Fort Lauderdale selections - the white-and-grey family that dominates local kitchen design - and carry aftermarket undermount sinks and support hardware for 1.25-inch and 2-centimeter profiles. For backsplashes, we fabricate full-height Cambria panels with proper movement joints at changes of plane, or we pair Cambria countertops with tile backsplashes from our vetted brand list.
We Also Service These Brands

Our sourcing depth runs across fifty-plus vetted brands. For kitchens, that includes KraftMaid and Wellborn cabinets, Silestone and granite countertops, and Kohler and Toto fixtures, plus Kitchen Remodeling services. We’re not single-brand dependent - we specify what fits your budget and your existing layout, with honest numbers in writing.
FAQs - Cambria Construction Service in Fort Lauderdale
Most chips and localized cracks in Cambria Britannica can be repaired with color-matched epoxy fill, edge re-profiling, and reinforcement of the underlying support. Full slab replacement is necessary only when the crack runs through a seam, extends into a load-bearing edge, or when the substrate itself has failed. We assess this in person and put both options in the written estimate if both apply. Call (754) 254-7676 for an exact quote - estimates are free.
Yes. We use Cambria’s specified overhang limits - 8 inches for 1.25-inch material with corbels, 6 inches without - and their recommended seam spacing from sink and cooktop cutouts. In Fort Lauderdale’s slab-on-grade homes, where seasonal moisture movement is real, we add flexible seam adhesive and 1/16-inch relief gaps beyond the minimum spec to prevent the creep we see in rigid-set installations.
Cambria and Silestone are both engineered quartz - resin-bound, nonporous, and unaffected by humidity in the way natural stone is. Granite is porous and requires periodic sealing in humid climates, or it will absorb moisture and show staining. Cambria’s advantage over Silestone in Fort Lauderdale is mostly aesthetic breadth and domestic fabrication lead times; performance is comparable. We quote both brands with line-item pricing so you can compare.
Yes, with proper substrate prep. Cambria is heat-resistant to 300°F intermittent exposure, but a full-height backsplash behind a gas range needs cement board backing, proper thinset, and expansion joints at changes of plane to handle the thermal cycle. We also verify that your range hood clearance meets local gas code - Broward County enforces the Florida Building Code strictly, and we pull permits and pass inspections as part of the job.
Templating takes 2-3 hours. Fabrication runs 5-10 business days depending on slab availability and edge profile complexity. Installation is typically one day for a standard kitchen, two days if we’re removing existing granite or tile and adjusting cabinet framing. Seams cure for 24 hours before full use. We schedule around Fort Lauderdale’s municipal inspection sequencing where permits are required, which can add a few days in pump-station construction zones.
No. We are an independent Cambria service provider, not an authorized dealer or warranty representative. We fabricate and install Cambria using brand-specific tooling and guidelines, but we do not sell Cambria slabs directly and we cannot process manufacturer warranty claims. Our independence means we can recommend repair over replacement when that’s the honest call for your kitchen.
We use Cambria-specific diamond tooling, color-matched seam adhesive, and fabrication guidelines that match OEM standards for cut quality and finish durability. For sinks, faucets, and mounting hardware, we source quality aftermarket products - often Kohler or Toto - that meet or exceed Cambria’s installation specs. We list every part brand in your written estimate.
