AfterFast, Reliable Kitchen Remodeling Across Boca Raton
Kitchen remodeling in Boca Raton typically costs $14,000-$45,000 for a full renovation, with smaller projects like cabinet refacing or backsplash work running $800-$13,000. The timeline stretches further here than in neighboring cities because Palm Beach County’s post-Andrew wind-load codes and Boca Raton’s Architectural Review Board add mandatory inspection and approval steps. We know exactly which products pass and which permits get rejected. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll walk you through what your kitchen will actually require before you sign anything.
Tom Barrett founded Kitchen Remodeling as an owner-operated company in 1998, and his sons run the crews serving Boca Raton today. That means the person quoting your job is the same person who stands behind it. No franchise dispatch, no subcontracted strangers on your property. When a homeowner in Woodfield or Camino Real calls with a question, they get a live person who knows their street, not a call center in another state.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Boca Raton’s Preferred Kitchen Remodeling Company
Boca Raton presents a remodeling challenge most contractors from Delray or Boynton don’t understand until they’re standing in front of a stop-work order. The city’s Architectural Review Board enforces a Mediterranean Revival aesthetic that goes back to Addison Mizner’s 1920s master plan. An outside-venting range hood, an exterior electrical update, even a new Boca Raton Windows & Doors installation on a 1970s CBS home can require ARB submission and approval before drywall goes up. We file those submissions as part of the job, not as an afterthought when the inspector shows up.
Every Barrett & Sons job in Boca Raton pulls permits and schedules inspections before work starts. The permit inspector works for you, not for me. That’s the way Tom has run this company for 29 years. We carry KraftMaid and Cambria in kitchens, and when a Boca homeowner asks about wind-load ratings on an impact window over the sink, our crew can explain the difference between a Miami-Dade NOA and a standard Florida product code. That matters here. It’s not optional.
Our reviews from Boca Raton customers reflect what we hear in person: quotes in writing, change orders on paper, and a crew that shows up looking like they belong on a job site, not a parking lot. Background-checked, uniformed, and carrying the Barrett & Sons name.
Our Kitchen Remodeling Services in Boca Raton
Full Kitchen Remodeling
A full kitchen remodel in Boca Raton means gutting a 1980s CBS kitchen and rebuilding it to current code. That code now includes 150+ mph wind-load design pressures on any exterior penetration. If your design opens an exterior wall for a larger window or a new range hood vent, the rough-in gets inspected before the wall closes. For Roofing in Boca Raton, we apply the same wind-load standards. We price that into the scope up front, in writing. Not as a surprise after demolition.
Cabinets & Countertops
Cabinetry in Boca Raton’s west-side communities like Boca Pointe and Broken Sound tends to be original 1980s laminate over particleboard that’s swelling from decades of humidity. Refacing or replacing those cabinets with KraftMaid or a custom build changes the entire kitchen without moving a single wall. Cambria quartz countertops hold up to the salt air and humidity far better than porous stone that needs sealing twice a year.
Backsplash, Tile & Flooring
Kitchen floors in Boca Raton homes sit on concrete slabs with a water table two to four feet below grade. Tile goes down differently here than it does on a wood-framed floor in Delray. We account for slab movement, vapor barriers, and the reality that any plumbing relocation under the slab may require dewatering. You don’t want to discover that after the old tile is up.
Kitchen Design & Layout
Most Boca Raton kitchens in 1970s-1990s homes were built as enclosed rooms separate from the living space. Homeowners today want open sight lines and an island. Moving a sink or an island on a slab isn’t just plumbing. It’s excavation, dewatering, and a wind-load inspection if an exterior wall gets touched. We lay that out in the design phase so the quote you sign is the price you pay.

Common Kitchen Remodeling Problems We See in Boca Raton Homes
- Non-impact windows on exterior kitchen walls. A contractor quotes a standard window to save money, the permit gets rejected by Palm Beach County, and the homeowner eats three to five weeks of delay plus a change order after demo. We don’t quote products that won’t pass.
- Skipped ARB review on outside-venting range hoods. The Architectural Review Board issues a stop-work order, and the drywall sits open for a month. We file the ARB submission as part of the scope, not as a favor.
- Undercut dewatering budgets on slabs. Moving a kitchen sink or island plumbing on the west side means digging into a water table that sits two to four feet down. An excavation that floods during a summer downpour ruins subfloor and delays cabinet installation. We factor dewatering into every slab penetration quote.
- Salt-air spalling in A1A condos. The 1970s and 1980s concrete high-rises east of Federal Highway have rebar corroding from decades of sea air. Kitchen remodels in those units often surface structural issues in adjacent walls or balconies that need remediation before cabinets can go in. We know what to look for because we’ve worked those buildings.

FAQs - Kitchen Remodeling in Boca Raton
Yes. If the window is in an exterior wall of a single-family home or condo in Boca Raton, the replacement must meet the same 150+ mph wind-load design pressure as new construction, which means an impact-rated or wind-load-rated product. A standard window won’t pass the structural inspection Palm Beach County requires before drywall closes. The added cost runs roughly $1,200-$3,500 per opening depending on size and frame material. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll tell you what rating your specific opening needs.
Plan for six to eight weeks of ARB review before you can start exterior work on a Mediterranean Revival home in Boca Raton. That includes time for the initial submission, any revisions the board requests, and the approval meeting cycle. Interior-only work that doesn’t change the exterior envelope usually skips ARB review entirely. Either way, we file the submission as part of our scope so you’re not left guessing. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate that includes the ARB timeline.
In most of Boca Raton, yes. The water table sits two to four feet below grade, so any plumbing relocation under a slab excavation will require active dewatering, typically a sump pump running for one to three days. In the Woodfield job we completed in 2023, we ran a sump for two days just to keep the footing dry while rerouting island plumbing. A contractor who doesn’t budget for dewatering is pricing a flooded excavation. Call (877) 610-1318 for a quote that includes it.
A compliant Boca Raton kitchen remodel quote includes impact-rated or wind-load-rated products for every exterior opening, a structural inspection sign-off before drywall, permits pulled and inspections signed, any required ARB submission, and dewatering for slab plumbing work. A cheap quote omits all of it and then hits you with a change order after demolition. Get a written, line-item quote from Barrett & Sons at (877) 610-1318 and compare what’s actually in it.
Yes. The 1970s and 1980s concrete high-rises along A1A in Boca Raton have decades of salt-air corrosion in embedded rebar, which means concrete spalling on balconies and facades is common. During a kitchen remodel in those buildings, we often find structural issues in adjacent walls that need remediation before cabinets and counters go in, and Florida’s SB 4-D structural inspection law means the condo association may already have a report flagging those areas. You’ll want a contractor who has worked those buildings. Call (877) 610-1318 to schedule a free estimate.
