We’ve worked on kitchen remodels throughout Lauderdale Lakes, from the single-family homes near Somerset Drive to the garden apartments along State Road 7. The housing stock here is almost entirely built out - modest CBS homes and low-rise complexes from 1960 to 1978 - which means we’re not remodeling new construction. We’re opening walls that haven’t been touched in fifty-plus years, and we know what that turns up. Our Kitchen Remodeling team plans for it in the initial quote, not as a surprise halfway through demolition.

Why Rowan Construction Group Fort Lauderdale Is Lauderdale Lakes’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 Lauderdale Lakes specifically, that discipline matters more than most places - the age of the housing stock and the insurance-compliance pressure here mean kitchen remodels routinely expand scope once walls open. We price those scenarios upfront.

Our crews are background-checked and uniformed; a live person answers calls 24/7. Under the Haven Standard, Clause 1 requires a written price before any work starts, and no change proceeds without a signed change order. That administrative discipline is why our projects finish within a few percent of the agreed number. We also offer a Free Second Opinion on any written estimate - bring a competitor’s quote and we’ll review it line by line at no charge.

Our Kitchen Remodeling Services in Lauderdale Lakes

Full Kitchen Remodeling

A full kitchen remodel in Lauderdale Lakes means working within CBS walls that may contain original two-wire cloth wiring, rusted steel jalousie window frames, and stucco that’s cracked from decades of South Florida sun and salt. We pull permits on every job, and we write allowances into the contract for the wind-mitigation upgrades that often become necessary once inspection opens the walls. On a 1968 CBS home near Somerset Drive, our crew opened the kitchen wall for a load-bearing removal and found rusted steel jalousie frames, no continuous header, and original two-wire cloth wiring. We pulled the permits, priced a dewatering allowance for the new island slab, and wrote every change order in writing before touching the framing. The homeowner got impact windows integrated into the same scope of work, passed inspection sign-off, and kept their insurance policy intact.

Kitchen Island Installation

Installing a kitchen island in Lauderdale Lakes requires planning for the shallow water table - often just 18-24 inches below grade in western sections of the city. Any cut into the slab for plumbing rough-in hits groundwater and needs dewatering, a step almost never required in newer Broward cities. We include this allowance in our written quote from day one. The island itself gets priced with cabinetry from KraftMaid or Wellborn and countertop from Cambria or Caesarstone, with the full scope documented before demolition.

Kitchen Design & Layout

Designing a kitchen layout in Lauderdale Lakes starts with understanding the original construction: modest footprints, load-bearing walls that may lack continuous headers, and electrical service that predates modern appliance loads. We measure the existing framing, check the panel capacity, and verify whether that wall you want removed is holding up the roof. Our design includes a written scope with line-item pricing for each phase, plus allowances for the code upgrades that permitting will trigger.

Cabinets & Countertops

Cabinet installation in Lauderdale Lakes runs $4,000-$13,000, with KraftMaid and Wellborn as our standard offerings. Countertop installation adds $2,000-$6,500 for Cambria or Caesarstone. In older CBS homes, we often find the original cabinets were built in place rather than installed as units, which means removal exposes wall conditions that weren’t visible during the initial walkthrough. We document this with photos and price any framing repair in writing before proceeding.

Backsplash & Tile Flooring

Backsplash installation in Lauderdale Lakes costs $800-$2,500, but the real question is what’s behind the existing tile. Cracked original CBS stucco and undersized wall framing are common failure modes here, requiring load-bearing correction and a permit-driven framing inspection before new tile goes up. We check for this during our initial site visit and build the possibility into the written quote.

Common Kitchen Remodeling Problems We See in Lauderdale Lakes Homes

• Unpermitted prior kitchen work. We regularly find electrical and plumbing that was updated without permits in the 1980s or 1990s. Once we open walls for a current remodel, that work becomes visible to the inspector and must be brought to code. We price this scenario as an allowance in the original contract.
• Rusted jalousie window frames. These original aluminum units are completely uninsurable under current Florida wind-mitigation rules. A kitchen permit often forces their replacement before final inspection sign-off, turning a cabinet refresh into a full window retrofit. We flag this possibility during our first visit.
• Shallow water table flooding slab cuts. At 18-24 inches below grade in western Lauderdale Lakes, groundwater enters any excavation for island footings or relocated plumbing. Without dewatering in the scope, the subfloor sits wet and concrete delays cascade. We include this allowance in every quote that involves slab work.
• Cracked CBS stucco and undersized framing behind backsplashes. The original construction in these 1960-1978 homes often lacks the continuous headers and adequate stud spacing that current code requires. We inspect for this before tile installation and price any structural correction in writing.
