Fast, Reliable Kitchen Remodeling Across Plantation
Kitchen remodeling in Plantation typically runs $14,000 to $45,000 for a full gut renovation, with smaller projects like cabinet installation starting around $4,000 and countertops between $2,000 and $6,500. Most of the homes we walk into here were built between the 1950s and 1970s, which means the work almost always involves more than swapping cabinets. If you live in a CBS ranch off Broward Boulevard or back in the neighborhoods near Plantation Central Park, call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll come out, look at your kitchen, and put a real number on paper before you spend a dime.
Why Plantation Homeowners Call Barrett & Sons Construction First
Tom Barrett started this company in 1998, and he runs it the same way today: his sons are on the crews, his name is on the truck, and his phone number is published where anyone can find it. When a homeowner in Plantation calls us about a Kitchen Remodeling project, they’re not getting a call center in another state. They talk to someone who knows what a 1960s CBS block wall looks like from the inside, and knows what happens when you open one up.
We’ve worked in neighborhoods all over Plantation, from the tree-lined streets near Plantation Acres to the condos and villas closer to University Drive. Homeowners here tend to ask the same two questions: will the price change once work starts, and will the permit actually get pulled. The answer to the first is no, not unless you sign a written change order first. The answer to the second is yes, every time. Tom likes to say the permit inspector works for you, not for us, and that’s exactly why we want him on the job.
Our Kitchen Remodeling Services in Plantation
Full Kitchen Remodeling
A full kitchen remodel in Plantation usually means gutting a 50-year-old space down to the block and starting fresh. We find original jalousie windows, undersized electrical panels, and cast-iron plumbing that’s been patched more times than anyone remembers. The good news is that the CBS construction holds up well structurally. The work is in updating everything around it, and doing it in a way that meets Broward County code without surprises. Most full kitchen remodels in Plantation fall between $14,000 and $45,000 depending on square footage, appliance choices, and how much the layout changes.

Cabinets & Countertops
Cabinet installation in Plantation runs $4,000 to $13,000, and countertops add another $2,000 to $6,500 depending on material. We carry KraftMaid cabinets and Cambria quartz, both brands you can look up and verify. For older Plantation kitchens, we often reface existing cabinet boxes when the framing is still solid, which keeps costs down without putting in materials that won’t match the rest of the house.

Backsplash, Tile & Flooring
Backsplash installation in Plantation typically costs $800 to $2,500. The humidity and heat here mean grout selection matters more than people expect. We use Schluter waterproofing membranes behind tile in wet zones and dry-set materials that hold up through South Florida’s wet season. If your kitchen floor has the original terrazzo or saltillo tile from the 1960s, we can work around it or remove it, but we’ll tell you which makes sense before we start swinging hammers.

Kitchen Design & Layout
Plantation’s older ranch homes were not built for open-concept living. The kitchens are often closed off, with a load-bearing wall between the kitchen and the living room. We help homeowners decide whether to take that wall down, how to handle the beam, and what the new layout should look like without losing the flow of the house. Design and layout changes are usually folded into the overall remodel cost, and we put every allowance in writing before the first cabinet comes off the wall.

Common Kitchen Remodeling Problems We See in Plantation Homes
- Undersized electrical panels from the 1960s. Original panels often lack capacity for modern appliances, and any permitted kitchen remodel that adds circuits usually triggers a panel upgrade. We catch this before it becomes a surprise.
- Single-wythe CBS walls with unfilled cores. In older Plantation neighborhoods, original block walls frequently fail current Florida Building Code wind-load calculations. When we open a wall for kitchen work, we may need to reinforce it before the new construction can pass inspection.
- Original jalousie windows that leak conditioned air. These windows were standard in 1960s Plantation builds and are a major source of heat gain and humidity. If your kitchen still has them, this is the time to address it.
- HOA approval layers on top of county permits. Much of Plantation was built as a planned community with active deed restrictions. That means a kitchen remodel here can require HOA architectural review before Broward County will even look at the plans. We help you navigate both.
