AfterFast, Reliable Kitchen Remodeling Across Boca Del Mar
Kitchen remodeling in Boca Del Mar runs $14,000-$45,000 for a full gut renovation, with smaller projects like cabinet installation starting around $4,000 and countertops around $2,000-$6,500. If you live in a 1970s or 1980s CBS home here in 33433, your project will almost certainly trigger Palm Beach County wind-mitigation requirements that a City of Boca Raton contractor won’t see coming. That’s exactly why we keep our permits, inspections, and product specs dialed into county code, not city code. Call (877) 610-1318 to talk through your kitchen with Tom Barrett or one of his sons – no call center, no runaround.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Boca Del Mar’s Preferred Kitchen Remodeling Company
We’ve worked in Boca Del Mar long enough to know that the single biggest risk on a kitchen project here isn’t the tile layout – it’s the permit. Boca Del Mar is unincorporated Palm Beach County, which means your kitchen remodel goes through the county’s building department, not Boca Raton’s. Contractors who don’t work here regularly pull the wrong permit, schedule with the wrong inspection portal, and end up with a failed inspection and a stop-work order on your kitchen. We don’t. Tom Barrett publishes his name, address, and license number – look it up before you sign anything.
Every Kitchen Remodeling job we take in Boca Del Mar includes written change orders before any scope change touches the job. That’s not a policy, it’s how Tom has run the company since 1998. Our 90-Day Done Right Promise is printed on every contract: if it’s not done right, one call brings Tom back. Homeowners around Camino Real and the communities off Powerline Road have seen the difference between a quote that holds and one that doesn’t.
Our Kitchen Remodeling Services in Boca Del Mar
Kitchen Design & Layout
Most Boca Del Mar kitchens were built in the late 70s and 80s, when the standard layout was a closed-off galley with a peninsula separating the cook from everyone else. Our Kitchen Remodeling team works with you to open those tight footprints, relocate load-bearing walls where the budget allows, and design a kitchen that actually fits how you cook now – not how the original builder assumed you would in 1982. We pull the Palm Beach County permit for every structural change, including the roof-to-wall connector retrofits current code requires.
Cabinet Installation & Refacing
Whether you’re refacing existing boxes or installing new KraftMaid cabinets, we measure for the exact tolerances of your Boca Del Mar villa or single-family home. Cabinet installation here typically runs $4,000-$13,000 depending on linear footage and whether you’re going stock, semi-custom, or full custom. Refacing is a strong option for CBS homes where the original cabinet boxes are still solid but the doors and faces have gone out of style – and it keeps your project below the cost threshold that triggers full hurricane-compliance upgrades.
Countertop Installation
Quartz and granite countertops in Boca Del Mar run $2,000-$6,500, with Cambria quartz being the most common premium choice we install in this community. We template, fabricate, and install with an eye toward one thing the big-box installers miss: your kitchen island will carry a lot of weight in a high-velocity hurricane zone home, and the slab underneath has to be sound. We check for slab settling and water-table issues before we set stone.
Backsplash, Tile & Flooring
Backsplash installation in Boca Del Mar typically costs $800-$2,500. Given South Palm Beach County’s humidity and the fact that many of these homes sit on slabs rather than raised foundations, we specify moisture-rated setting materials and proper underlayment. The last thing you want in a 33433 kitchen is grout that starts wicking moisture from the slab up into your tile a year after the job is done.

Trusted Brands We Service in Boca Del Mar
We install and service premium-name materials you can actually look up: KraftMaid and Cambria in kitchens, Simonton and PGT on windows and doors. When your kitchen remodel includes impact-rated window replacement – and in a high-velocity hurricane zone, many of them do – we quote PGT or Simonton products with the specific design pressure ratings that Palm Beach County will sign off on. We don’t put mystery brands off a van into your home, and we don’t swap specifications after you sign.
Common Kitchen Remodeling Problems We See in Boca Del Mar Homes
- Pulling a City of Boca Raton permit by mistake. Unincorporated Boca Del Mar goes through Palm Beach County’s building department, not the city’s. A contractor who assumes otherwise will get a failed inspection and a stop-work order on your project.
- Quoting a kitchen without the mandatory HVHZ upgrades. If your remodel crosses the cost threshold, Palm Beach County requires impact-rated windows and roof-to-wall connector retrofits. A quote that leaves those out is a stalled permit and an uninsurable renovation waiting to happen.
- Excavating for a kitchen addition without dewatering. Boca Del Mar’s water table sits just 2-4 feet below grade in many parts of the community. If you’re pushing the kitchen out and your contractor doesn’t plan for groundwater, you’ll flood the crawlspace or undermine the existing slab.
- Rusted or loose hurricane tie-downs discovered mid-project. The original roof-to-wall straps on many 1970s CBS homes in this area are corroded. A kitchen remodel that opens load-bearing walls is the right time to inspect and replace them – and document it for your wind-mitigation file.
Pricing for Kitchen Remodeling in Boca Del Mar, FL
Here’s what we tell homeowners in Boca Del Mar before we ever write a contract:
| Service | Typical Price Range |
|---|---|
| Full Kitchen Remodel | $14,000 - $45,000 |
| Small Kitchen Remodel | $9,000 - $20,000 |
| Cabinet Installation | $4,000 - $13,000 |
| Countertop Installation | $2,000 - $6,500 |
| Backsplash Installation | $800 - $2,500 |
| Kitchen Island Installation | $3,000 - $10,000 |
Your price is affected most by two things: whether you’re changing the footprint (which triggers structural work and hurricane-compliance retrofits) and what materials you choose. KraftMaid and Cambria aren’t the cheapest lines. They’re also not the ones that delaminate in Florida humidity after two summers. Call (877) 610-1318 for a written line-item estimate on your kitchen – free, no trip charge inside the county.

FAQs - Kitchen Remodeling in Boca Del Mar
You need a Palm Beach County permit – Boca Del Mar is unincorporated, so it’s outside Boca Raton’s jurisdiction. Any structural, electrical, plumbing, or mechanical work in your kitchen goes through the county’s building department, its portal, and its inspection checklist. Contractors who pull a city permit by mistake will get the application bounced or fail the first inspection, which stalls your project until it’s corrected. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll verify the exact permit pathway for your address before we quote.
When your remodel crosses certain cost thresholds, Palm Beach County requires bringing the affected areas up to current HVHZ standards – typically impact-rated windows and doors plus roof-to-wall connector retrofits. Because your kitchen remodel involves the exterior wall if you’re adding or replacing windows, those openings must carry the design pressure ratings listed for your specific wind zone. We include those upgrades in the written quote up front, so you don’t discover a $6,000 “surprise” line item after demolition starts. Call (877) 610-1318 to review your home’s specific trigger points.
A documented hurricane-compliance remodel – impact windows, new tie-downs, and the county’s signed inspection reports – gives your insurer verifiable wind-mitigation credits. Many Boca Del Mar homeowners see premiums drop after submitting the wind-mitigation inspection. The key word is documented: if the work wasn’t permitted and inspected, the insurer won’t recognize it. We pull the permit, pass the inspection, and hand you the paperwork. Call (877) 610-1318 if you want to understand which retrofits would actually move your premium.
Most likely because they filed with a municipal building department – often Boca Raton’s – unaware that Boca Del Mar is unincorporated and falls under Palm Beach County. We hear this constantly. The county runs on a different scheduling portal, different fee schedule, and a different inspection checklist. The rejection wasn’t about your kitchen design; it was about filing in the wrong jurisdiction. We file everything through Palm Beach County from day one. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll review where your last project stalled.
Yes, but there are three things you have to plan for before cutting into the slab: water supply lines, drain lines, and Boca Del Mar’s high water table. The slab in this community often sits close to groundwater, so your trench for plumbing needs proper dewatering and you’ll want an electrician to verify the circuit capacity before we set the island. A kitchen island installation in Boca Del Mar typically runs $3,000-$10,000 including plumbing and electrical rough-in. Call (877) 610-1318 for an exact number based on your floor plan.
