AfterFast, Reliable Kitchen Remodeling Across Delray Beach
A full kitchen remodel in Delray Beach typically runs $14,000-$45,000, with smaller galley or condo kitchens landing closer to $9,000-$20,000 and larger custom jobs with premium stone and custom cabinetry exceeding that range. The work usually takes 4-8 weeks depending on scope and whether you’re in a 1980s CBS home west of I-95 or a mid-century ranch on the barrier island. If you’re weighing a remodel and want real numbers from someone who’s walked kitchens from Kings Point to the coastal side of 33483, call Tom at (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Delray Beach’s Preferred Kitchen Remodeling Company
We’re a family-owned operation founded in 1998, and Tom Barrett’s name, address, and license number are published and verifiable. Ask anyone on your street, or look up the license number yourself. When we remodel a kitchen in Delray Beach, the crew that shows up carries the Barrett & Sons name, and Tom’s sons are on-site most days. This isn’t a franchise dispatching strangers from three counties away.
Delray Beach homeowners keep calling us back for a simple reason: the price we quote is the price on the contract, and every change comes as a written change order before a single nail moves. The allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date. We pull permits and get inspections signed on every eligible kitchen remodel, whether it’s a small cabinet refresh off Linton Boulevard or a full gut renovation in a Century Village unit. A live person answers our phone 24/7, not a voicemail box or an out-of-state call center.
Our Kitchen Remodeling team knows Delray Beach’s housing stock cold: the 1980s and 1990s concrete block homes in 33446 and 33447 with cinder-block interior walls that complicate plumbing runs, the high-rise condo kitchens with strict HOA build windows, and the barrier-island teardown-and-rebuild homes in 33483 that need coastal-grade everything. That local knowledge keeps projects moving instead of stalling on surprises.
Our Kitchen Remodeling Services in Delray Beach
Full Kitchen Remodeling
A full remodel in Delray Beach usually means gutting to the studs in older homes, which exposes what’s hiding behind 30-year-old drywall: corroded shut-off valves, undersized supply lines, or wiring that predates modern code. We handle the entire scope in writing before demolition day: demolition, framing, plumbing, electrical, drywall, cabinetry, countertops, backsplash, flooring, and paint. Permits pulled, inspections signed. For a full tear-out and rebuild in a Delray Beach CBS home, expect $14,000-$45,000 depending on cabinetry grade and stone selection.
Cabinets & Countertops
Cabinet installation in Delray Beach runs $4,000-$13,000, and countertop installation runs $2,000-$6,500, with quartz and granite being the most requested materials. We install KraftMaid cabinetry and Cambria quartz when clients want brands they can look up, not mystery imports off a van. The humidity in South Florida causes cheap particleboard cabinet boxes to swell at the seams within a few years, so we spec plywood boxes on most jobs and keep the tropics in mind when selecting materials.
Backsplash, Tile & Flooring
Backsplash installation in Delray Beach runs $800-$2,500 for a typical kitchen, and tile flooring adds accordingly. Coastal homes near the Intracoastal in 33483 and older condos along Linton Boulevard often have slab-on-grade foundations that shift slightly with the water table, which means we pay extra attention to underlayment and expansion joints so tile doesn’t crack within the first year. The water table sits 18-24 inches below grade in much of the western ZIPs, and that moisture works its way into any flooring that isn’t prepped right.
Kitchen Design & Layout
We help you work through layout before we buy a single cabinet. The tight galley kitchens in older Delray Beach condos, especially in buildings along the Federal Highway corridor and in communities near Atlantic Avenue, present a real design puzzle: how do you get a dishwasher, a sink base, and a cooktop into 80 square feet without blocking the walkway? We measure in person, confirm it all on paper, and show you the plan in writing before we order anything. That’s the Kitchen Remodeling in Delray Beach service we’ve built our name on.

Trusted Brands We Service in Delray Beach
We don’t install brands you can’t pronounce or trace. In Delray Beach kitchens, we regularly work with Simonton and PGT windows when a remodel expands into the breakfast nook or needs new impact-rated glazing to meet Palm Beach County’s post-Hurricane Andrew wind code. When a client wants a broader upgrade, we also handle Bathroom Remodeling in Delray Beach so the kitchen and master bath get done in one permit cycle. For barrier-island homes in 33483 near the Coastal Construction Control Line, we coordinate impact-window and exterior work with our Roofing in Delray Beach crew, because a kitchen remodel that touches an exterior wall often triggers the same wind-load and permitting requirements that re-roofing does. We stock common parts locally for Delray Beach customers and order the rest in writing with confirmed lead times before the first cabinet is unloaded.
Common Kitchen Remodeling Problems We See in Delray Beach Homes
- Corroded water shut-off valves in 1980s-1990s CBS homes. In western ZIPs like 33446 and 33447, the original stop valves under kitchens built in the 1980s and 1990s are often frozen open or leaking. A remodel is the only sane time to replace them, because tearing out drywall twice is a waste of money.
- Humidity-driven cabinet delamination. South Florida’s constant moisture causes particleboard cabinet boxes and cheap laminate surfaces to swell and peel, usually starting at the kick plate and under the sink. We see this constantly in Delray Beach kitchens that were remodeled 15-20 years ago with low-grade materials.
- Slab foundation movement screwing up tile and countertop seams. The high water table under the western ZIPs means slabs move slightly over time. We see grout cracks and separated quartz seams in kitchens where the installer skipped proper underlayment and flexible expansion joints.
- Wind-code complications when the kitchen touches an exterior wall. In Delray Beach homes being remodeled near the coast, especially east of the Intracoastal Waterway, any structural change to an exterior wall can trigger Palm Beach County’s 160-170 mph wind-load requirements, which means replacing standard windows with impact-rated units and re-engineering the wall assembly. A GC who doesn’t know this will get kicked back at plan review and waste four to eight weeks.

FAQs - Kitchen Remodeling in Delray Beach
A kitchen remodel in Delray Beach typically costs $14,000-$45,000, with small kitchens running $9,000-$20,000 and larger custom jobs going higher depending on cabinetry, stone, and whether structural or coastal code work is involved.

Most Delray Beach kitchen remodels start within 2-4 weeks of contract signing, depending on permit processing with the City of Delray Beach and Palm Beach County, which for barrier-island projects can add four to eight weeks. We’ll give you a realistic schedule in writing before you commit, and we won’t promise a start date we can’t keep.
Yes, on every eligible job. Delray Beach and Palm Beach County both require permits for any work that changes plumbing, electrical, or structural elements, and a kitchen remodel almost always touches at least two of those. The permit inspector works for you, not for me - that’s why I like him. If a contractor tells you permits are optional, run.
Only if you change the scope and sign a written change order first. That’s the Barrett & Sons rule, and it’s written on every contract. No surprise invoices at the end, no allowances that evaporate. If a sub finds something hidden behind the drywall, we show you photos, we show you the number in writing, and you decide before we proceed.
We cover all of Delray Beach, including the western ZIPs 33446 and 33447, the central 33448 corridor, and the barrier island in 33482. Specific communities include Century Village, Kings Point, neighborhoods off Linton Boulevard and Military Trail, and the condos and homes near Atlantic Avenue and the Intracoastal. If you’re in Delray Beach, we’re there.
