Fast, Reliable Kitchen Remodeling Across Greenacres City
Kitchen remodeling in Greenacres City runs $14,000 to $45,000 for a full renovation, and most projects on the CBS homes common here take four to eight weeks once permits clear. If you live off Jog Road, near the L-8 canal, or anywhere in the 33454 zip code, you already know the drill: the county inspection queue moves at its own pace, and the water table sits close enough to the surface that a moved sink drain is never just a simple pipe job. We’re Barrett & Sons Construction, and we’ve been working on these exact homes long enough to know what the county will flag before they flag it. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll walk your kitchen with you, no charge for the trip inside the county.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Greenacres City’s Preferred Kitchen Remodeling Company
We’re an owner-operated shop. Tom Barrett founded this company in 1998, and his sons run the crews. When we quote a Greenacres City kitchen, the price you sign is the price you pay unless you decide to change the scope, and when that happens, you get a written change order before a single nail moves. No allowance surprises at the end. No “we didn’t think the inspector would catch that.”
We know Palm Beach County’s building department, and we build their timelines into our contracts from day one. A failed rough inspection on a 1970s CBS home can push a project back two to three weeks, so our crew documents hurricane straps, impact openings, and under-slab routing the first time. We also answer the phone. A live person, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Not a call center. If Tom’s not on site, his sons are.
Every completed Kitchen Remodeling job carries our written 90-Day Done Right Promise. If something’s not right, one call brings us back. Period. That’s the same promise we give homeowners in Lake Worth, Lake Worth Corridor, and every other community around Greenacres City.
Our Kitchen Remodeling Services in Greenacres City
Full Kitchen Remodeling
Most full remodels in Greenacres City start with taking a 1970s or 1980s CBS kitchen down to the block and rebuilding it to current Florida Building Code. That means load-bearing beam work when walls come out, impact-rated openings where the scope touches exterior walls, and a rough-in inspection our crew schedules before closing anything up. We handle the full job: demo, framing, drywall, plumbing, electrical, flooring, cabinets, countertops, and finish work. One crew, one contract, permits pulled and inspections signed.

Kitchen Island Installation
Adding or moving an island in Greenacres City often means relocating the sink or dishwasher drain, and that’s where the water table changes the math. At two to four feet below grade in the wet season, under-slab plumbing needs over-excavation and gravel backfill to pass county inspection. We quote that work correctly the first time. Islands with a cooktop also trigger ventilation requirements the inspector will check, so we plan hood ducting before we cut the slab.

Cabinets & Countertops
We install KraftMaid cabinetry and Cambria, quartz, or granite countertops, measured and templated for the specific dimensions of Greenacres City kitchens. Many of these older CBS homes have slightly out-of-square walls and floors that have settled over 40 or 50 years, so we scribe and shim rather than forcing a factory-fit cabinet into a gap it doesn’t match. The result is a kitchen that looks built-in, not bolted-on.

Backsplash, Tile & Flooring
Backsplash installation in Greenacres City runs $800 to $2,500 for typical kitchens, and tile run through the whole kitchen floor changes the project scope because most of these homes sit on slab. We can’t run plumbing or electrical through the slab without cutting into it, so we factor that into the quote up front. We set tile with Schluter waterproofing membranes where moisture is a concern, and we call out any existing slab cracks before they telegraph through new tile.

Kitchen Design & Layout
We’ll sit with you at your kitchen table and lay out the new plan on paper before we touch a hammer. What fits in a 1978 Greenacres rancher kitchen isn’t the same as what fits in a newer Lake Worth townhome, so we work around what’s actually there: window placement on windward walls, existing drain locations, beam lines. We’ll tell you honestly if opening a wall is worth the structural work, or if refacing cabinets gets you 90% of the result for a third of the cost.

Common Kitchen Remodeling Problems We See in Greenacres City Homes
- Hurricane-strap documentation gaps. When a kitchen remodel opens an exterior wall on a Greenacres CBS home, the county inspector will want to see the existing straps and ties. If the documentation isn’t there from the original build, we document and retrofit what code requires before the wall gets closed. Missing paperwork alone can fail a rough inspection and add weeks to the timeline.
- Jalousie windows on windward walls. Many of these 1970s homes still have single-pane jalousies, and if your remodel touches the opening, current code requires impact-rated or protected openings. A cheap quote skips this line item. Ours doesn’t.
- Under-slab drain moves gone wrong. Moving a sink or island drain on a slab home with a high water table requires deeper excavation and proper gravel backfill to pass inspection and avoid a sinking, cracking floor later. We’ve seen slab patches fail within a year because a contractor cut this corner.
- Flat-roof and low-slope roofline conflicts. Many Greenacres kitchens sit under flat or low-slope roof sections, so when we add a range hood or vent we have to route the duct properly and flash the roof penetration to keep the wet season outside. This is standard for us, not an add-on.

FAQs - Kitchen Remodeling in Greenacres City
Not automatically, but the work can require bringing touched elements up to current code. If your remodel opens exterior walls, replaces windows, or modifies the roof decking, the county inspector will review those specific areas for high-velocity wind compliance. That’s different from a full 40-year recertification, which is a structural and electrical review your home may already be due for based on its build year. A bad surprise most homeowners hit is when a permit pulls in a recertification they weren’t planning on. We check this before we quote so you know what’s actually triggered. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll tell you what your home’s status is.
Any new opening on a windward wall in Greenacres City has to meet Palm Beach County’s high-velocity wind provisions under the Florida Building Code. In practice that means impact-rated windows or hurricane shutters on the openings you’re touching. If your kitchen remodel removes a jalousie or changes the back wall, the new windows need to be impact-rated for the zone. That cost should be in your quote from day one. Get a second opinion on any written estimate for free by calling (877) 610-1318.
It changes the under-slab plumbing scope. When the water table sits two to four feet below grade in the wet season, moving a drain means deeper excavation and gravel backfill around the new pipe run to keep the slab from shifting or cracking later. A contractor who doesn’t account for this will either price it wrong or fail inspection. We quote it correctly the first time, and we pull the permit so the inspector signs off on the work. Call (877) 610-1318 for a real number.
In Palm Beach County, a cabinet and countertop replacement with no plumbing, electrical, or structural changes typically doesn’t require a permit. The line gets crossed when you move a sink, add an island with power or water, or cut into a wall. If we’re not sure on your specific job, we call the building department and ask. Better to know before you start than to get flagged mid-project. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll confirm what your scope actually triggers.
If a storm damages your kitchen and the work was permitted and inspected, your insurer has a much harder time arguing the damage came from non-compliant construction. The county’s records show the work passed. If a contractor skipped the permit and the inspector never looked at it, you’re on your own proving the work was done right after a claim. That’s why every Barrett & Sons kitchen job in Greenacres City carries the permits and the inspection sign-offs, and why Tom publishes his license number for anyone to verify. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate and we’ll walk through what your home needs.
