AfterFast, Reliable Kitchen Remodeling Across North Andrews Gardens
Kitchen remodeling in North Andrews Gardens typically runs $14,000 to $45,000 for a full remodel, with smaller partial projects starting around $9,000. The number that matters more, though, is what happens when the inspector opens your walls. North Andrews Gardens sits in unincorporated Broward County, which means every permit and every inspection routes through the county building division, not a city hall. If you’re planning a kitchen remodel here, you need a contractor who already knows how that process works. Call Barrett & Sons Construction at (877) 610-1318 and we’ll walk you through it.
The homes here were built between roughly 1955 and 1975, mostly single-story concrete block and stucco. That’s important. These houses predate the post-Andrew building codes, so the moment you open a load-bearing wall for a new layout, Broward County’s high-velocity hurricane zone requirements kick in. A quote that doesn’t account for that is a quote that will grow the moment the inspector shows up.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is North Andrews Gardens’s Preferred Kitchen Remodeling Company
Tom Barrett founded this company in 1998. His sons run the crews.

We know the quirks of this unincorporated pocket of Broward County. We’ve pulled county permits for remodels along NE 56th Street, worked on galley kitchens in the 33334 zip code, and navigated the jurisdiction line where a street can split between North Andrews Gardens and Oakland Park. That’s not knowledge you get from a franchise playbook.

Our Kitchen Remodeling Services in North Andrews Gardens
Full Kitchen Remodeling
A full kitchen remodel in North Andrews Gardens usually means reconfiguring a space that’s been the same since the Eisenhower or Johnson administration. We handle everything: demolition, framing, electrical, plumbing, drywall, flooring, cabinets, counters, and finish work. Because we’re working in unincorporated Broward County, we sequence the work so the county inspector signs off on wind-load strapping and roof-deck fastening in North Andrews Gardens before we close any wall.
Kitchen Design & Layout
Most kitchens in this part of North Andrews Gardens were built compact, with a galley or L-shaped footprint and a single window over the sink. Opening that up properly means understanding where load-bearing walls sit in a 60-year-old CBS house. We map the existing structure first, then design around what’s actually holding the roof up. You get a layout that works, not one that collapses the first time a hurricane tests the envelope.
Cabinet Installation & Refacing
If your cabinets are solid but outdated, refacing can save you thousands in North Andrews Gardens. We install KraftMaid cabinetry and carry the premium lines you can look up before you sign. For full cabinet installation, expect $4,000-$13,000 depending on linear footage and whether you’re replacing boxes or just doors and faces.
Cabinets & Countertops
We pair named brands like KraftMaid cabinets with Cambria quartz and natural granite counters. For a North Andrews Gardens kitchen, we recommend surfaces that hold up to humidity and daily salt air from the Atlantic. Quartz doesn’t stain the way marble does, and it handles the moisture swings common to eastern Broward County homes with flat or low-slope roofs.
Backsplash, Tile & Flooring
Backsplash installation in North Andrews Gardens runs $800-$2,500 for a typical kitchen, and we handle tile and flooring work alongside it. If you have original terrazzo floors, we’ll tell you before anyone touches them. That’s a feature worth keeping in many of these older homes, and a contractor who doesn’t know terrazzo may grind it down or cover it without asking.

Common Kitchen Remodeling Problems We See in North Andrews Gardens Homes
- Wind-load compliance surprises. Older CBS homes in North Andrews Gardens were built before Broward County adopted high-velocity hurricane zone standards. Open a load-bearing wall and you’re now legally required to bring the roof-deck fastening and wall strapping up to current code. Cheap quotes skip this line item. Then the inspector shows up.
- Jurisdiction mix-ups on the Oakland Park boundary. Some streets in and around North Andrews Gardens straddle the unincorporated-county line. Pull a county permit for a parcel that’s actually incorporated Oakland Park and you start over. We check the Broward County Property Appraiser map before we touch the first hammer.
- Original jalousie windows still in place. Those old glass-slat windows are charming but they leak air and fail modern wind-load requirements. If a remodel triggers window replacement, they need impact-rated or wind-rated products that meet HVHZ standards.
- Moisture intrusion from flat and low-slope roofs. North Andrews Gardens kitchens frequently show water staining above cabinets where the old roof decking has warped. We address the decking and flashing as part of the remodel so your new cabinets don’t absorb the same damage the old ones did.
Pricing for Kitchen Remodeling in North Andrews Gardens, FL
The price you’ll pay depends on what’s behind the walls, and in North Andrews Gardens, that means a 1960s CBS shell. Here’s what our customers typically see in this market:
| Service | Typical Range in North Andrews Gardens |
|---|---|
| Full Kitchen Remodeling | $14,000 - $45,000 |
| Small Kitchen Remodel | $9,000 - $20,000 |

What moves the number? The condition of your roof decking, whether your slab has settled near the kitchen footprint, and whether the county requires a wind-load upgrade on the walls you’re opening. All of those are knowable before we start. We don’t hide them in an allowance that “might come in higher.” We put them in writing, with a change order, before the work begins.

FAQs - Kitchen Remodeling in North Andrews Gardens
No. Cabinet and countertop replacement alone typically does not require a permit in North Andrews Gardens, because no structural, electrical, or plumbing work is involved. But the moment you move a wall, relocate a sink, add a circuit, or open the roof decking, the county requires a permit. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll tell you whether your specific scope triggers one.
Because the homes here were built before Broward County adopted its post-Andrew high-velocity hurricane zone code. Once you expose the structure behind a wall, the inspector checks for hurricane straps, roof-deck fastening, and anchorage that meet current HVHZ standards. If the original construction doesn’t meet them, you have to upgrade before you close the wall. This is a county requirement, not a contractor upsell.
North Andrews Gardens is unincorporated, so permits and inspections route through the Broward County Building Division rather than a municipal building department. Oakland Park and Fort Lauderdale run their own permitting offices with different fee schedules, timelines, and code interpretations. Same street, different authority. We verify jurisdiction on the county property appraiser map before we submit anything.
Replacement windows in North Andrews Gardens must meet Broward County’s HVHZ requirements, which generally means impact-rated products designed for high-velocity hurricane zones, or non-impact windows protected by approved shutters. If your remodel triggers window replacement, we install Simonton or PGT impact-rated lines that carry the proper design pressure ratings for this wind-load zone.
Possibly yes, and usually in your favor. A documented remodel with permits pulled, county inspections signed, and HVHZ-compliant windows and roof decking gives your insurer evidence that the work met current wind-load standards. If you have a claim after a storm, that paper trail supports your case. A remodel done without permits can give the insurer a reason to reduce or deny coverage. Documented compliance matters here.
What a North Andrews Gardens Kitchen Remodel Actually Requires
Here’s the part most websites skip. Because North Andrews Gardens is unincorporated Broward County, a structural kitchen remodel on a 1950s to 1970s CBS home has a specific path through the county building division. The wall gets opened. The county inspector looks at the roof-to-wall connection. If the original strapping or anchor bolts don’t meet current HVHZ wind-load standards, you’re upgrading them before any drywall goes back up. That’s not optional. That’s code.
We recently remodeled a galley kitchen on a 1960s CBS ranch near the North Andrews Gardens boundary. The original jalousie windows and flat roof triggered a mandatory wind-load upgrade the moment we opened the load-bearing wall for the new layout. Our crew coordinated the county permit and inspection sign-off before rough-in, replaced the old roof decking to meet HVHZ uplift requirements, and installed impact-rated KraftMaid cabinets with Cambria quartz counters. We finished with a punch list that included the final county inspection, and the homeowner got a documented, compliant remodel.
A cheap quote doesn’t leave these line items out by accident. It leaves them out because the contractor doesn’t know the county rules, or hopes you won’t ask. When the inspector fails the work, you pay anyway. We put the full scope in writing, including every wind-load and roof-deck item, before the first nail moves. That’s the difference between a quote that survives the inspection and one that doesn’t.
If you’re planning a Kitchen Remodeling project in North Andrews Gardens, call us first. We serve the entire 33334 area from our dispatch office in South Florida, and our crews work locally throughout North Andrews Gardens. You’ll get a straight answer about what your house actually needs.
