A kitchen remodel in Fort Lauderdale typically runs $15,000–$75,000+. In dockside neighborhoods like Las Olas Isles and Rio Vista, we build kitchens in teak and sealed hardwoods that handle waterfront salt air.
Waterfront Fort Lauderdale kitchens face the same salt air as boats, so material choice is part of the design, not an afterthought.
Our marine millwork experience carries straight into these homes — durable species, sealed finishes, corrosion-aware hardware.
What Fort Lauderdale homes mean for kitchen remodeling
- Marine and yacht millwork built in teak and quartzite — a specialty few cabinet shops offer
- Dockside and waterfront homes facing constant salt air and humidity
- Fort Lauderdale (Broward County) runs its own permitting, separate from Palm Beach County
Permits: Cabinet refinishing, refacing, and painting with no plumbing, electrical, or structural change are generally permit-exempt in Boca Raton. Moving walls, relocating plumbing or electrical, or running power to new cabinetry requires a permit. Rules vary by city — Delray Beach, Boynton Beach, and West Palm Beach run their own building departments with their own fees.
What moves the price in Fort Lauderdale
The biggest swings are cabinetry (stock vs. custom, and the wood species), countertop material, and whether walls, plumbing, or electrical move. Keeping the existing footprint and refinishing or refacing sound cabinetry is the fastest way to control budget; relocating the sink and range is the fastest way to grow it.
- Custom hardwood cabinetry vs. semi-custom boxes
- Quartzite, quartz, or stone counters and full-height backsplashes
- Layout changes that trigger plumbing, electrical, and a permit
