Fast, Reliable Kitchen Remodeling Across Palm Beach Gardens
Kitchen remodeling in Palm Beach Gardens runs $14,000-$45,000 for a full job, with small remodels starting around $9,000. The work usually takes 4-10 weeks depending on whether you’re swapping cabinets in a 2005 BallenIsles villa or gutting a 1970s concrete-block kitchen in eastern 33410. Barrier & Sons has worked in pretty much every community between PGA Boulevard and Northlake, and we know what each one’s architectural board will and won’t approve. Call (877) 610-1318 if you want a straight answer on scope, timeframe, and what the HOA will put you through first.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Palm Beach Gardens’s Preferred Kitchen Remodeling Company
Tom Barrett started this company in 1998, and his name is on the truck. Not a franchise logo. Not a call center. When we work in Palm Beach Gardens, the crew showing up is either Tom’s sons or people they’ve personally trained and background-checked. We don’t dispatch strangers to your house. That matters more in Palm Beach Gardens than almost anywhere else we work, because half the kitchens here sit behind a gated security booth that wants a daily vehicle roster, and some communities want worker names 48 hours in advance.
We handle the dual-approval process for every job: HOA architectural review first, city permit second. Most homeowners in Pga National, Mirasol, or BallenIsles don’t realize their kitchen won’t even get a city permit until the community board signs off. We do. We’ve done enough Palm Beach Gardens kitchens to submit the board package correctly the first time, which saves you two to four weeks of back-and-forth.
Our Kitchen Remodeling team answers the phone live, 24 hours a day. You call (877) 610-1318, a person picks up. Not a voicemail. Not an out-of-state call center. Tom publishes his license number and his address. You can look it up before you sign anything. He expects you to.
Our Kitchen Remodeling Services in Palm Beach Gardens
Cabinets & Countertops
Cabinet installation in Palm Beach Gardens runs $4,000-$13,000, and countertop installation runs $2,000-$6,500. We install KraftMaid and carry the full catalog, but we also do custom and semi-custom work. In east PBG’s older concrete-block homes, you’re usually fighting a layout from 1972 where the refrigerator is in another zip code and the sink faces a wall. We fix that. In western 33418’s newer production homes, it’s usually builder-grade boxes that looked fine in the model and started peeling at the slab seams within five years. Both are different jobs, and we’ve done plenty of both.

Kitchen Island Installation
A kitchen island in Palm Beach Gardens runs $3,000-$10,000 depending on size, plumbing, and electrical. This is one of the first upgrades we see in Avenir and the newer PGA National sections, because builder islands are often undersized for the room. One caution that’s specific to western Palm Beach Gardens: the water table is high out there, and new-production slabs can settle unevenly in the first couple years. We check the subfloor before we set a 12-foot island on it. An island racked out of level by half an inch looks wrong forever, and it’s a hundred times easier to fix before the countertop goes on.

Backsplash, Tile & Flooring
Backsplash installation in Palm Beach Gardens runs $800-$2,500, and full tile or flooring on top of a kitchen job adds from there. What we see most in the golf communities: homeowners who want a full-height quartz slab backsplash to match their Cambria island, or a glass tile that can stand up to the humidity. That’s not a minor point. Palm Beach County air is wet year-round, and cheap grout or unsealed stone in a kitchen that gets daily steam from cooking will fail faster here than it would in a drier climate. We seal properly and use materials rated for a high-moisture room.

Kitchen Design & Layout
We do full design and layout in-house, and we’ll sit at your kitchen table with samples and a tape measure. In Palm Beach Gardens’s older eastern homes, the biggest win is usually opening the kitchen to the living space. But you can’t just knock out walls. Some of those 1960s and 70s concrete-block houses have load-bearing walls that require a beam, an engineer’s letter, and two inspections before the city will pass you. We handle that paperwork. In the newer gated communities, design review happens before anything else. The board wants elevations, material lists, and finish samples before they’ll even look at a permit application.

Trusted Brands We Work With in Palm Beach Gardens
We stock and install KraftMaid and Cambria for kitchens, plus PGT and CGI for the impact-rated windows and doors that Palm Beach County code now requires on any substantial renovation. You can look up every brand we install before you sign. That’s the point. You won’t find us pushing a mystery cabinet line off the back of a van. In Palm Beach Gardens specifically, impact glazing isn’t optional. If your kitchen remodel touches an exterior wall or a sliding door, the inspector will check the product approval numbers. We order PGT or CGI products that already have Miami-Dade and Florida Building Code approval, so the inspection doesn’t become an argument.
Common Kitchen Remodeling Problems We See in Palm Beach Gardens Homes
- HOA stall before the permit is even pulled. In communities like BallenIsles, Mirasol, and PGA National, the city will not issue a building permit until the community’s architectural review board approves the scope in writing. That process adds 2-4 weeks, and out-of-county contractors routinely misjudge it. We submit the package the way the boards in Palm Beach Gardens expect to see it, the first time.
- Impact-glazing mistakes. Florida Building Code after the 2004-2005 hurricane seasons requires hurricane-impact glazing on any substantial renovation. If a contractor bids standard windows to save a few hundred dollars, the kitchen fails final inspection. We spec PGT or CGI on anything that touches the building envelope.
- Builder warranty surprises in Avenir and newer western sections. Many Avenir homes are still under builder warranty when the owner wants a kitchen island or a pantry pulled out. If a contractor starts cutting into a load-bearing wall or rewiring without checking, the builder can void portions of the warranty. We read the warranty before we write the scope, and we put the sequencing in writing.
- Water-table settlement under new slabs. The flat, low-lying western sections near Avenir sit on a high water table, and new-construction slabs move a little in the first few years. If you install a large island or full-height cabinetry on a slab that hasn’t been checked for level, the doors stop lining up within 18 months. We check before we build.

FAQs - Kitchen Remodeling in Palm Beach Gardens
Yes. BallenIsles requires architectural review board approval before the City of Palm Beach Gardens will issue a permit, and the board package includes scope, elevations, and finish samples. We submit that package for you, but plan for 2-4 weeks of HOA review before demolition starts. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll walk you through the exact timeline for your community.
Most PGA National homeowners start with countertops and island work, usually running $2,000-$10,000 combined depending on whether the island needs plumbing or electrical moved. Builder islands in the 1990s and 2000s sections tend to be undersized, and the builder-grade countertop is usually the first material that shows age. We’ll give you a written line-item quote before anything gets ordered.
The short answer is that removing a load-bearing wall in a newer Avenir home can void portions of the builder’s structural warranty if it’s not engineered and permitted correctly. Many Avenir homes are still under warranty, and builders look for any reason to deny a future claim. We bring in a licensed engineer, pull the city permit, and get the inspection signed, which is exactly the documentation that protects the rest of your warranty. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free assessment.
The high water table in western Palm Beach Gardens can cause new-construction slabs to settle unevenly in the first few years, which means a large island set on an unlevel subfloor will rack out of level and the cabinet doors will stop aligning. We check subfloor level before we set the island, and if shimming or correction is needed, that goes in the written change order before work proceeds. A free estimate includes that check.
Impact-rated windows and doors. Palm Beach County’s post-2004 building code requires hurricane-impact glazing on any substantial renovation that touches the building envelope, and an out-of-county contractor bidding standard glass will either fail final inspection or hand you a change order at the end. We spec PGT or CGI from the start, and the price you see in the written estimate is the price that holds unless you change the scope. Call (877) 610-1318 to get your line-item quote.
