We’ve worked on enough 1960s and 1970s CBS ranch homes along Royal Palm Boulevard and around the Coral Square area to know what the county inspector will flag before he does. Margate’s housing stock is specific, and the permitting path is specific too. That local knowledge keeps our quotes accurate and our change orders rare.
Why Rowan Construction Group Fort Lauderdale Is Margate’s Preferred Kitchen Remodeling Company
Our reputation in Margate was built project by project, not by advertising. Homeowners here read the three-star reviews, so we keep our documentation public: every visit produces a photo record, every quote is written and signed, and every crew member is background-checked and uniformed. The 365-Day Done Right Promise is printed on every page, backed by a terms page, not an asterisk.
Response time to Margate is same-week for estimates, with crews typically starting within two to four weeks of contract signing depending on material lead times. We know the difference between a city of Margate permit and a Broward County permit, and we know which one your project needs before we quote.
Our local knowledge runs deep. We know the original jalousie windows in the ranch homes off Banks Road and Rock Island Road are categorically non-compliant with High-Velocity Hurricane Zone impact standards. We know the flat, low-slope roofs and minimal attic space in these homes trap plumbing rough-ins if you don’t plan the chase before you open the wall. And we know the wet-season pooling on nearly level lots throughout western Broward can undermine a kitchen bump-out if drainage isn’t engineered into the scope from day one.
Our Kitchen Remodeling Services in Margate

Kitchen Design & Layout
Most Margate kitchens we remodel are galley-style or narrow U-shapes in 1,200-1,600 square foot CBS ranches. Opening a load-bearing wall to create an open plan with an island is the most common request, and it’s also the most commonly botched by contractors who don’t pull an engineer’s letter first. Under Clause 1 of The Haven Standard, we deliver a written scope that includes structural engineering review, permit type, and inspection sequence before any demolition starts. The price you sign is the price you pay.

Cabinets & Countertops
We source KraftMaid, Wellborn, and other vetted brands through our fifty-plus supplier relationships, which means the numbers in your written quote reflect actual material costs, not inflated allowances. For countertops, we stock and template Cambria, Caesarstone, Silestone, and granite - the field vignette on a 1972 CBS ranch off Royal Palm Boulevard involved KraftMaid cabinets and Silestone countertops delivered on schedule even after we discovered and re-permitted a non-compliant jalousie window mid-project. That’s the administrative discipline Haven acquired Rowan for.

Kitchen Island Installation
Island installs in Margate ranches almost always involve electrical and plumbing rough-ins that must navigate flat roofs with minimal attic chase space. We map the chase path before we quote, not after we open the ceiling. A kitchen island in Margate runs $3,000-$10,000 depending on size, electrical, plumbing, and finish - and that range is written into your quote before work begins, not presented as a change order when the vent stack won’t reach.

Backsplash, Tile & Flooring
Margate’s high water table and wet-season concentration mean any ground-level flooring transition in a kitchen bump-out needs a moisture barrier and proper slab elevation. We specify this in the written scope. Backsplash installation runs $800-$2,500 in the local market, with tile and flooring priced per square foot based on material and substrate condition.

Small & Partial Kitchen Remodels
Not every Margate kitchen needs a full gut. Cabinet refacing, countertop replacement, or a targeted backsplash update can run $9,000-$20,000 for a small remodel. We scope these precisely because even partial work on an exterior wall can trigger the HVHZ compliance review that turns a simple cabinet swap into a window replacement and re-permitting project.

AfterTrusted Brands We Service in Margate
Our supplier depth across fifty-plus vetted brands means we don’t sell you what we have in stock - we quote what your project actually needs. For Margate kitchens, that regularly means KraftMaid and Wellborn cabinets, Cambria and Caesarstone countertops, and Kohler or Toto fixtures. We maintain local supplier relationships that keep lead times predictable and replacement parts available without cross-country shipping delays. The written quote names the brand and the spec, not a generic allowance that evaporates when you make a selection.
Common Kitchen Remodeling Problems We See in Margate Homes

- Load-bearing walls opened without engineering. The original plans for 1960s-70s Margate ranches often aren’t on file with the city. We pull an engineer’s letter before demolition, every time, because guessing on a CBS block wall isn’t a risk we take.
- Flat roof plumbing traps. Relocating a sink or adding an island vent in a home with minimal attic space and a low-slope roof requires a mapped chase path. We plan this before we quote, not when the rough-in hits dead air.
- Jalousie window non-compliance. Those original windows above Margate kitchen sinks are categorically non-compliant with HVHZ impact standards. Replacing them triggers a full compliance review, and we build that sequence into the project timeline from the start.
- Wet-season drainage failures on bump-outs. Margate’s nearly level lots pool water fast during June-October. Any kitchen addition needs engineered grading and drainage, or you’ll be calling us back with slab moisture issues after the first heavy rain.

FAQs - Kitchen Remodeling in Margate

Yes. Jalousie windows are categorically non-compliant with High-Velocity Hurricane Zone standards, and any replacement must use impact-rated products that pass Miami-Dade or Florida Product Approval testing. We include the window spec, permit path, and inspection sequence in your written scope before work starts. Call (754) 254-7676 for an exact quote - estimates are free.
Yes, if the wall is non-load-bearing or if an engineer’s letter confirms a beam and post solution that meets Broward County structural code. We pull that letter before demolition, not after we find sagging blockwork. On a 1972 CBS ranch off Royal Palm Boulevard, our crew did exactly this - opened the wall, installed the island, and discovered a non-compliant jalousie window that we re-permitted as part of the same scope. Call (754) 254-7676 to schedule a site review.
Broward County’s HVHZ designation requires impact-rated materials, enhanced structural connections, and more intensive permitting review than many neighboring jurisdictions. If your project touches an exterior wall or window, the compliance work is non-negotiable. We build these requirements into our written quote upfront, not as surprise change orders. Our Free Second Opinion on any written estimate lets you compare line by line. Call (754) 254-7676 to bring us a competitor’s quote.
We engineer grading and drainage into the scope before ground is broken. Margate’s flat terrain and high water table mean any slab work needs proper elevation and site drainage to prevent wet-season pooling against the new foundation. We document the drainage plan in your written scope and photograph the finished grade as part of our standard photo record. Call (754) 254-7676 to discuss your specific site conditions.
It can. Broward County’s inspection process for HVHZ compliance often surfaces unpermitted additions during the required full-property review. Those additions must be legalized or removed before the new work receives a certificate of completion. We research permit history as part of our pre-quote site review and flag potential issues in the written scope, with a clear path to resolution. Call (754) 254-7676 for a free estimate that accounts for your specific property history.
