Fast, Reliable Kitchen Remodeling Across Lauderhill
A full kitchen remodel in Lauderhill typically runs $14,000-$45,000 and takes 4-8 weeks from permit pull to final inspection, depending on whether your home’s age triggers additional code requirements. We dispatch crews from our South Florida office and coordinate permits through Broward County for every job. Call (754) 254-7676 to schedule your free estimate.
We’ve worked in Lauderhill long enough to know the difference between a straightforward cabinet swap in a 1990s townhouse and a full gut in a 1960s CBS home off Inverrary Boulevard, where unpermitted additions and stacked roofing layers turn a simple scope into a multi-trade coordination. Our Kitchen Remodeling team plans for these conditions before we quote, not after we open the walls.
Why Rowan Construction Group Fort Lauderdale Is Lauderhill’s Preferred Kitchen Remodeling Company
Grant Rowan founded this company in 2007 on a single discipline: every project gets a written price before any work starts, and no change proceeds without a signed change order. That discipline has kept 4,000-plus jobs within a few percent of the original quote. In Lauderhill, where Broward County’s strict enforcement of pre-1994 building codes routinely expands project scope, that written discipline matters more than enthusiasm.
Our crews are background-checked, uniformed, and arrive with a documented photo record as standard - not an upgrade. A live person answers calls 24/7. The 365-Day Done Right Promise, backed by The Haven Standard, is printed on every contract, not hidden behind an asterisk. And our Free Second Opinion on Any Written Estimate means you can bring a competitor’s quote and we’ll review it line by line at no charge.
We know Lauderhill’s neighborhoods - Inverrary, the central districts off Commercial Boulevard, the areas near the Swap Shop - and we know the housing stock that defines them. That local knowledge changes what we look for during the initial walkthrough and what we build into the quote.
Our Kitchen Remodeling Services in Lauderhill

Full Kitchen Remodeling
A full kitchen remodel in Lauderhill means more than new cabinets and countertops. The typical home here is a 3/2 CBS structure built in the 1960s or 1970s with original single-pane jalousie windows, a 100-amp Federal Pacific or Zinsco panel, and often an unpermitted Florida-room or carport enclosure touching the kitchen wall. When we pull a permit, Broward inspectors routinely require full code compliance on the entire structure - not just the kitchen. We build that compliance review into our initial scope and price, so the quote you sign reflects the work you’ll actually need.

Kitchen Design & Layout
Lauderhill’s tight lots and shared-wall density constrain how we stage materials, manage dumpster placement, and sequence deliveries. Our design process accounts for these constraints from the first measurement. We measure parking access for our material trucks, identify neighbor notification requirements for party-wall work, and confirm whether your property falls under any overlay district with additional review periods. The design we present includes a logistics plan, not just a rendering.

Cabinet Installation & Refacing
We source KraftMaid and Wellborn cabinets through our vetted supplier network, with lead times locked in writing. For Lauderhill’s older CBS homes, we verify wall framing before quoting - the original construction sometimes lacks the backing required for modern cabinet loads, especially where unpermitted enclosures have compromised the structural integrity. Refacing is an option when the boxes are sound and the layout works. We tell you which applies after we inspect, not before.

Countertop Installation
Quartz and granite countertop installation in Lauderhill runs $2,000-$6,500, with Cambria and Caesarstone as our primary stocked brands. The high humidity and inland water table - 18-24 inches below grade across much of the city - affect how we seal sink penetrations and manage island plumbing rough-ins. Any sink relocation requires dewatering and compacted backfill, a cost line that coastal contractors often miss in their quotes. We include it in writing.

Backsplash, Tile & Flooring
Backsplash installation in Lauderhill ranges from $800-$2,500. For flooring, we account for the slab-on-grade construction common in CBS homes, which limits elevation changes and requires moisture-mitigation underlayment for certain materials. We specify the exact product and installation method in the written quote, with no “allowance” language that shifts cost later.

Kitchen Island Installation
A kitchen island in a Lauderhill home runs $3,000-$10,000, but the real variable is utility rough-in. Running electrical, gas, or plumbing to a new island location in a 1970s slab requires core drilling and careful coordination with the existing systems. We map these routes during the design phase and price them as line items, not contingencies.

Common Kitchen Remodeling Problems We See in Lauderhill Homes

- Unpermitted enclosures trigger full-structure compliance. That Florida room or carport conversion the previous owner built without permits? When we pull a kitchen permit, Broward inspectors routinely require the entire structure to meet current code. We identify these conditions during our initial walkthrough and build the compliance work into the quote, not the change order.
- The 18-24 inch water table surprises coastal contractors. Any sink relocation or island plumbing rough-in requires active dewatering and compacted backfill. We include this in our Lauderhill quotes because we’ve done the work here before.
- Stacked BUR roofing over the kitchen forces mid-project scope changes. Two layers of modified-bitumen or built-up roofing over the original deck means any vent or skylight work triggers a full tear-off and structural deck inspection. We inspect the roof assembly before quoting kitchen work that touches it.
- Federal Pacific and Zinsco panels won’t pass modern inspection. These 100-amp panels are common in 1960s and 1970s Lauderhill homes, and they’re immediate red flags for insurers and inspectors. We check the panel location and capacity during our first visit and include upgrade costs in the quote when needed.

Lauderhill’s Unique Kitchen Remodel Conditions: What We Plan For

Lauderhill’s housing boom from 1955 to 1980 created a dense inventory of concrete block homes on tight lots, and the building codes that applied then bear little resemblance to post-Hurricane Andrew standards. This shapes every kitchen remodel we do here.
The two-roof-layer rule is the one that catches contractors unfamiliar with Broward enforcement. Code allows only one re-cover before a full tear-off is required, and inspectors here apply this strictly. In coastal markets with newer construction, a re-cover might be routine. In Lauderhill, that 1972 CBS home near Inverrary likely has two layers of modified-bitumen or BUR roofing already, so any kitchen work that touches the roof deck - a vent relocation, a skylight addition, soffit modification - triggers a full tear-off and structural deck inspection. We inspect the roof assembly during our initial walkthrough and price accordingly. The alternative is a mid-project stop-work order and a change order that blows the draw schedule.
Here’s how this played out in practice. In the Inverrary area, we took on a full kitchen remodel in a 1972 CBS home where the original jalousie windows had been replaced with unpermitted aluminum frames. The homeowner wanted quartz countertops and new KraftMaid cabinets, but the rough-in revealed a 100-amp Federal Pacific panel and two layers of modified-bitumen roofing under a skylight we were removing. We pulled permits, brought the panel to code, and coordinated a full tear-off with the roofer before our inspection sign-off - the project stayed on budget by locking allowances in writing and issuing one change order for the deck repair. That’s the discipline Haven acquired Rowan for.
Tight lots and shared walls add another layer. Staging a 20-foot material truck on a Lauderhill street requires planning. Dumpster placement often needs a neighbor conversation. Work hours are constrained by noise ordinances that we follow precisely - not because we’re cautious, but because a stop-work order from a noise complaint costs everyone. Our crews document every visit with a photo record, keep the site contained, and coordinate deliveries to minimize disruption. Neighbors who aren’t annoyed don’t call code enforcement.

FAQs - Kitchen Remodeling in Lauderhill
Yes. Broward County requires permits for any kitchen remodel involving electrical, plumbing, or structural modifications, which covers nearly every project beyond cosmetic surface replacement. The permit triggers a full code compliance review of the entire structure if unpermitted additions are present. Call (754) 254-7676 and we’ll verify permit requirements during your free estimate - no charge to review your specific property.
It affects staging, material delivery sequencing, dumpster placement, and neighbor notification requirements. We plan these logistics during the design phase and include them in the written quote, so the project doesn’t stall waiting for street access or resolving a party-wall dispute. Call (754) 254-7676 to schedule a walkthrough where we’ll assess your specific access constraints.
Usually yes, but we verify the wall framing and slab condition first. Original CBS construction sometimes lacks adequate backing for modern cabinet loads, and the 18-24 inch water table can complicate even minor plumbing modifications. We inspect these conditions before quoting and specify exactly what the existing structure will support. Call (754) 254-7676 for an exact assessment - estimates are free.
We stop work, document the condition with photos, and issue a written change order with a fixed price for the additional scope. No work proceeds on the change until you sign. This is Clause 1 of The Haven Standard, and it’s why our projects finish within a few percent of the original quote even when surprises occur. Call (754) 254-7676 - we’ll explain how we build contingency allowances into the initial quote for conditions we can anticipate.
We follow Broward County noise ordinances precisely, typically limiting loud work to 7 a.m.-6 p.m. weekdays and 8 a.m.-5 p.m. Saturdays, with no loud work on Sundays. We notify adjacent neighbors before demolition begins, contain debris within the property line, and schedule material deliveries to minimize truck presence. Our documented photo record includes site condition shots that demonstrate compliance if any question arises. Call (754) 254-7676 to discuss scheduling constraints for your specific street.
