Full Kitchen Remodeling in Boca Raton, FL

Kitchen Remodeling Near Me in Boca Raton, FL typically runs between $45,000 and $120,000, depending on square footage, cabinet line, and whether the layout changes. That number is written into a flat-price quote before any crew member sets foot in your kitchen – under Clause 1 of the Haven Standard, a written price and written scope come first, every time. If you want to see exactly what your project costs before committing to anything, call (754) 254-8065 and we’ll put a number on paper at no charge.

Kitchen Remodeling means every major system gets touched: cabinets, countertops, flooring, lighting, plumbing rough-in, appliance placement, and sometimes the wall configuration itself. It’s different from a cosmetic refresh – you’re not painting cabinet doors or swapping a faucet. You’re rebuilding the room from the substrate out. That scope requires a contractor who can coordinate trades in sequence, pull the right permits with the City of Boca Raton Building Department, and hold a written price steady while doing it.

Rowan Construction Group has been delivering projects exactly this way since 2007 – 4,000-plus jobs, every one with a written price before work started and a documented photo record when the crew left. Our Kitchen Remodeling in Boca Raton service covers everything from cabinet swaps to full gut renovations, and this page focuses specifically on the latter: what a complete remodel involves, what it costs in this market, and how we manage the process so the final number stays close to the number you approved. Grant Rowan leads every project team personally, and his name goes on the quote.

When You Need Full Kitchen Remodeling

Not every kitchen problem calls for a full remodel. But some do, and recognizing the difference saves time and money. Here are the situations where a complete rebuild is the right call in Boca Raton homes:

• The layout no longer works for the household. Kitchens in older Boca Raton homes – particularly in Woodfield Country Club and the Via Mizner corridor neighborhoods built in the 1980s and early 1990s – were often designed with enclosed galley configurations that don’t fit how people cook or entertain today. Moving a wall to open the kitchen to a dining or living space is a structural change that triggers a full remodel scope.
• Cabinets are delaminating or showing moisture damage. South Florida’s humidity is hard on cabinet boxes over time. When face frames are warping or the interiors show soft spots from years of humidity cycling, a cabinet refresh won’t hold – the boxes need to come out and the wall cavity inspected before anything new goes in.
• Plumbing or electrical is undersized for current appliances. Induction cooktops, panel-ready refrigerators, and under-counter beverage drawers draw more power than a 1990s kitchen was wired for. If your panel capacity is at its limit or your plumbing supply lines are original copper showing mineral buildup, integrating appliance upgrades means touching the rough-in work – which puts you into full remodel territory.
• The flooring runs under the cabinet toe-kicks. In many Boca Raton homes, tile or hardwood was installed before cabinets were set, meaning the flooring runs beneath the toe-kick. Replacing the floor without removing the cabinets isn’t possible without visible seams. If floor replacement is part of the goal, the sequence requires a full teardown.
• You’re preparing the home for resale above the $900K price point. Buyers in Boca Raton’s East Side and the Broken Sound area at this price tier expect quartz countertops, soft-close cabinetry, and current appliances. A partial update that leaves original cabinets alongside new counters rarely photographs well or holds up to buyer scrutiny. A cohesive, documented remodel with a warranty attached – like the 365-Day Done Right Promise – reads differently to a buyer’s agent than a piecemeal update.
• Multiple trades need to be sequenced and permitted. If your project involves a licensed electrician, a plumber, a tile setter, and a cabinet installer, coordinating them independently through the Boca Raton permit process is a full-time job. When three or more trades are touching the same room, a general contractor managing the sequence and holding the permit is the practical choice.

Our Full Kitchen Remodeling Process

Every full kitchen remodel Rowan handles follows the same documented sequence. The order matters – skipping or compressing steps is how projects go over budget and past schedule.

1. On-Site Assessment and Measured Drawing

   We start with a site visit where we measure the room precisely and document existing conditions with photographs – wall configuration, ceiling height, soffit locations, existing plumbing stub-outs, electrical panel capacity, and floor substrate condition. This is the documented photo record that goes to the customer after every visit, standard, not an upgrade. In Boca Raton’s older neighborhoods, we regularly find surprises inside soffits above cabinets: original knob-and-tube wiring in homes near El Rio Trail that were extended in the 1970s, or cast iron drain lines that need lining before new plumbing fixtures go in. Finding these at the assessment stage means they’re priced before work starts, not after.

2. Written Flat-Price Quote with Scope and Timeline

   After the assessment, Grant Rowan reviews the findings and produces a flat-price quote with a written scope of work, material specifications (cabinet line, countertop material, flooring type), and a project timeline. The price is a number – not a range, not a starting-at figure. Under the Haven Standard, no work starts until the customer has reviewed that number and signed. If you have a competitor’s written estimate, bring it: our Free Second Opinion offer means we’ll go through it line by line at no charge so you can compare the scopes, not just the totals.

3. Permit Application with the City of Boca Raton

   Full kitchen remodels in Boca Raton that involve electrical, plumbing, or structural changes require permits through the City of Boca Raton Building Services Department. We handle the application, the drawings, and the inspection schedule. Permit timelines in Boca Raton currently run four to six weeks for kitchen projects, and we factor that into the project timeline at the quote stage so it’s not a surprise mid-project.

4. Demolition and Rough-In

   Cabinets, countertops, existing flooring (where specified), and fixtures come out. The substrate – the wall framing, subfloor, and ceiling – gets inspected and documented before any new material goes in. If the demo reveals a condition that changes scope (a deteriorated subfloor under the sink, say, or a load-bearing wall where a pass-through was planned), we stop, photograph it, write a change order describing the additional work and the additional cost, and get your signature before proceeding. No change moves forward without that signed document.

5. Trade Work in Sequence: Plumbing, Electrical, Framing

   Rough-in trades run in the right order: framing first if walls are moving, then plumbing, then electrical. Each trade passes inspection before the next starts. Our crews are background-checked and uniformed; a live person answers calls 24/7 if you have a question between visits. This stage is where the Kitchen Design & Layout gets marked on the wall so electricians can position outlets at the right heights for under-cabinet lighting and appliance circuits.

6. Cabinet Installation, Countertop Fabrication, and Finish Trades

   Kitchen Island Installation and cabinets go in after rough-in inspections pass. For full remodels, we source from KraftMaid and Wellborn depending on the project’s specification – both lines offer full-extension drawer boxes and soft-close hardware as standard on our quotes, not as upcharges. Countertop templates are cut after cabinets are level and secured; fabrication for Cambria or Caesarstone quartz typically runs two to three weeks in this market. Tile, flooring, lighting, and fixtures follow in sequence. The project closes with a final walkthrough, a documented photo record of the finished space, and the written 365-Day Done Right Promise printed on the project closeout document – not referenced from a website, physically in your hand.

Full Kitchen Remodeling Pricing in Boca Raton

Full kitchen remodel costs in Boca Raton range from $45,000 on the low end to $120,000 or more for larger kitchens with custom cabinetry and premium stone. The spread is wide because the variables are real – here’s how the cost builds:

What Moves the Number Up

• Layout changes. Moving a sink crosses a plumbing vent line. Moving a range means gas line relocation if the home uses gas. Each structural or utility relocation adds $2,500 to $8,000 depending on scope.
• Countertop material and slab count. Caesarstone and Cambria both run $85 to $140 per square foot installed in the Boca Raton market, depending on the pattern. An island plus perimeter counters in a 200-square-foot kitchen can require four to five slabs.
• Cabinet door style and box construction. Inset cabinets (where the door sits flush with the face frame) require tighter tolerances and run 20 to 30 percent more than standard overlay. It’s a visible detail that’s worth understanding before the quote is signed.
• Permit and inspection fees. The City of Boca Raton Building Services Department charges permit fees based on project valuation. For a kitchen remodel in the $70,000 to $90,000 range, budget $800 to $1,400 for permit fees alone. We include this in the flat-price quote so it doesn’t appear as a surprise line item at closeout.
• Substrate conditions found during demo. Homes in the older sections of Boca Raton near Camino Real and the Intracoastal neighborhoods sometimes have moisture intrusion at the base cabinets from prior appliance leaks or dishwasher drain failures. Remediation before new materials go in is non-negotiable for durability. This is the scenario where a signed change order matters most – you see the condition in photos, you approve the fix, you know the added cost before it’s done.

Every quote from Rowan Construction Group is a flat written number with a written scope. Call (754) 254-8065 or reach out through our home page to schedule the on-site assessment – it’s free, and the written estimate costs you nothing.

FAQs – Full Kitchen Remodeling in Boca Raton

How long does a full kitchen remodel take in Boca Raton?

A full kitchen remodel in Boca Raton typically takes 10 to 16 weeks from permit approval to final walkthrough. The permit process with the City of Boca Raton Building Services runs four to six weeks at current processing times, and that period runs concurrently with material ordering – cabinets and countertop fabrication are ordered during the permit window so the crew isn’t waiting on material when the permit clears. Active construction on a standard 150-to-200-square-foot kitchen runs four to seven weeks depending on whether the layout changes. We put the timeline in writing at the quote stage so you have a date to plan around, not an estimate to guess from. Call (754) 254-8065 for a timeline specific to your scope.

Do I need a permit for a full kitchen remodel in Boca Raton?

Yes – any kitchen remodel in Boca Raton that involves electrical work, plumbing changes, or structural modifications requires a building permit through the City of Boca Raton. A cosmetic refresh (painting, hardware replacement, a new faucet on existing supply lines) typically doesn’t. A full remodel almost always does. Pulling permits protects you at resale – unpermitted work surfaces in title searches and buyer inspections, and correcting it after the fact costs more than doing it right the first time. Rowan handles the permit application and inspection scheduling as part of the project, not as an add-on fee.

Is it cheaper to reface cabinets than to do a full kitchen remodel?

Cabinet refacing costs less upfront – typically $8,000 to $18,000 for a Boca Raton kitchen versus $45,000 and up for a full remodel – but it only makes financial sense if the cabinet boxes are structurally sound and the layout works for your household. If the boxes are soft from moisture, if the interior configuration doesn’t function well, or if you need to move plumbing or electrical, refacing leaves the underlying problems in place. We’ll tell you honestly at the assessment stage which option makes sense for the condition we find – and we’ll document what we found so you have the evidence either way.

What’s included in Rowan’s 365-Day Done Right Promise on a kitchen remodel?

The 365-Day Done Right Promise means that if any work Rowan performed isn’t done right within one year of project completion, we make it right – the terms are printed on your project closeout document, not referenced from a fine-print footnote. This covers our workmanship: cabinet installation, countertop fabrication, tile work, plumbing connections, and electrical finish work. It does not cover manufacturer defects on appliances or damage caused by misuse, but those are covered by the product manufacturer’s own warranty, which we document for you at closeout. The practical meaning: if a cabinet hinge fails because it was installed wrong, or a grout line cracks because the substrate wasn’t prepped correctly, we come back and fix it. Call (754) 254-8065 if you have a question about what’s covered on your specific project.
