AfterFast, Reliable Kitchen Remodeling Across Pembroke Pines
A full kitchen remodel in Pembroke Pines typically runs $14,000 to $45,000, and the two things that shape your timeline most are HOA architectural review and whether your slab has settled. We know both of them cold. Barrett & Sons Construction has worked the 33028 and 33082 corridors long enough to file HOA submittal packets in our sleep and to spot the settlement cracks that hide under old tile in western Pembroke Pines tract homes. If you want a real number for your kitchen, call (877) 610-1318 and ask for a free estimate. Tom Barrett will walk the job himself.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Pembroke Pines’s Preferred Kitchen Remodeling Company
We’re the owner-operated crew your neighbors already know. Tom Barrett founded Barrett & Sons in 1998, and his sons run the crews that show up in Pembroke Pines week after week. That’s not a line on a website. It’s the same faces at the permit counter, the same truck at your curb, and the same phone number Tom answers himself, 24 hours a day.
Our reputation in Pembroke Pines is built on the boring stuff that saves you money: permits pulled and inspections signed on every eligible job, every allowance and scope change issued as a written change order before work starts, and a 90-Day Done Right Promise written into each contract. One call brings Tom back if something is not right. That’s the promise, in plain language.
Pembroke Pines customers call us because we know the difference between a Chapel Trail home and a SilverLakes home. We know which communities require renderings with the submittal packet, which boards meet monthly versus biweekly, and how long that wait actually is. When we tell you a schedule, it already includes the HOA. That’s local knowledge you can’t phone in.
Our Kitchen Remodeling Services in Pembroke Pines
Kitchen Design & Layout
Design in Pembroke Pines starts with the HOA. Before we finalize a layout, we pull the community’s architectural guidelines and build the submittal around what the board will actually approve. In master-planned communities like SilverLakes and Chapel Trail, that means cabinet colors, island placement, sightlines, and sometimes even the cabinet hardware finish have to be in the packet. We file everything for you, with material samples and color renderings attached, so your remodel doesn’t stall waiting on a committee.
Cabinets & Countertops
We install KraftMaid cabinetry and Cambria quartz throughout Pembroke Pines. Those are brands your HOA board has likely seen before, and that helps the review process move. On western 33028 homes with settled slabs, we check level before we ever set a base cabinet. A half-inch dip under a cabinet run becomes a cracked countertop seam later. We’d rather catch it at rough-in.
Kitchen Island Installation
A heavy quartz island on a settled slab is a real problem in Pembroke Pines. We just finished a full kitchen remodel in the 33028 corridor where the client wanted a Cambria quartz island with a new Kohler sink and KraftMaid cabinets. Halfway through rough-in, our crew spotted a one-inch settlement crack running under the old tile at the slab edge. We called in a mudjacking crew to re-level the affected area before we continued. That added three days to the schedule, but the HOA’s architectural review had already cost us two weeks. We filed the submittal packet with our scope of work, material samples, and color renderings on day one, and the board’s approval came back just in time to keep the project from stalling. That’s what a real Pembroke Pines schedule looks like.
Backsplash, Tile & Flooring
Large-format tile in a kitchen is unforgiving on a slab that has settled. We check the floor with a laser level before tile goes down. If the slab needs work, that happens first, in writing, as a change order. No surprises at the end. We also work with Schluter waterproofing systems on kitchen backsplashes and wet zones, which matters in South Florida where humidity pushes moisture behind tile if the underlayment is wrong.

Trusted Brands We Service in Pembroke Pines
We stock and install brands your neighbors know and your HOA board recognizes: KraftMaid and Cambria in kitchens, GAF on roofs, Andersen and Marvin on windows, Belgard and Techo-Bloc on hardscapes. In Pembroke Pines, we keep common cabinet and countertop material samples in our South FL office for faster submittal packets. If your board wants to see the material, we can usually have a sample at your door the same week. That speed only comes from years of working these communities and knowing what gets approved without a fight.
Common Kitchen Remodeling Problems We See in Pembroke Pines Homes
- Settled slabs under CBS tract homes. The western 33028 ZIP sits on drained Everglades muck with engineered fill. It settles unevenly, pulling slabs apart and leaving tile lippage and cracked grout within months. We check level before we install anything heavy.
- Skipped HOA architectural review. In Pembroke Pines’ master-planned communities, skipping the review can mean a stop-work order and forced rework of cabinet layouts or island placement that don’t match the approved submittal. We file first, every time.
- Unlevel floors under existing tile. Just because the old tile looks fine doesn’t mean the slab under it is flat. We find waves and dips under old kitchen floors all the time, especially in 1990s builds where the fill has had thirty years to move.
- Rough-in that fails inspection before drywall. Broward County wants to see plumbing and electrical before the walls close. If the inspector can’t sign off at rough-in, the kitchen gets caught in a reopen-the-walls change order. We schedule inspections the right way on every job we run in Pembroke Pines.

FAQs - Kitchen Remodeling in Pembroke Pines
Yes, in nearly all cases. Pembroke Pines requires HOA architectural review before work starts. We file the packet for you, with our scope of work, material samples, and color renderings included, and we build the review time into your schedule so the project doesn’t stall. Call (877) 610-1318 to talk through your community’s specific requirements.
The high water table means drain lines and supply lines can sit closer to the slab than in drier climates. We plan the rough-in with that in mind and make sure the Broward County inspector signs off before drywall goes up. If you’ve had drainage backups in the past, tell us at the estimate. It changes where we place the rough-in and how we handle the trap depth.
We install KraftMaid cabinetry most often. HOA boards in Pembroke Pines have seen it before and know it meets most architectural guidelines. If your community has a specific approved list, we’ll match it. Cambria quartz is another brand we regularly put in front of Pembroke Pines boards, and it clears review easily. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate and we’ll bring samples.
Usually yes, but only after the slab is checked and often re-leveled first. In western 33028 tract homes, settled fill creates those cracks and dips under the kitchen floor. We use a laser level to check, and if the slab needs work, we bring in a mudjacking crew before any cabinetry or the island goes in. The added cost and time goes into a written change order before we start, so you know exactly what you’re approving.
Two reasons: HOA architectural review and settled-slab leveling. The review itself can add two to four weeks depending on when your board meets, and if your slab has moved, leveling adds days before finish work starts. In older eastern Broward cities, many homes are on stable ground and outside HOA governance, so those delays don’t exist. In Pembroke Pines, we plan for both upfront so the schedule we give you is the schedule that holds.
Planning a kitchen remodel in Pembroke Pines means dealing with HOA packets, settled slabs, and Broward County inspections. We handle all three. If you’re ready for a real price, call (877) 610-1318 today and ask Tom for a free estimate. He’ll tell you what he’d do with your kitchen, what it will cost, and what your HOA is going to say. No surprises, because it’s all in writing before a single nail moves.
