Fast, Reliable Kitchen Remodeling Across Sunrise
Kitchen remodeling in Sunrise typically runs $14,000 to $45,000 for a full gut renovation, with smaller partial remodels landing between $9,000 and $20,000. Most Sunrise kitchens can be torn out and rebuilt in four to eight weeks depending on scope and whether you’re moving plumbing or electrical. If you’re standing in a 1970s Sunrise kitchen with the original flat-front cabinets and a soffit you’d rather not think about, call Tom Barrett at (877) 610-1318 and get a written estimate before you decide anything.
We’ve spent nearly three decades working in Broward County, and the kitchens in Sunrise follow a pattern you won’t find ten miles east. The homes around 33304 were mostly framed and poured in the same era, which means the same cabinet layouts, the same soffit issues, and the same plumbing chases behind the drywall. Knowing that before we open a wall saves you from surprises that turn a $15,000 job into a $28,000 job.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Sunrise’s Preferred Kitchen Remodeling Company
Tom Barrett founded this company in 1998 and still answers his own phone. His sons run the crews, and they work in Sunrise regularly enough that half the time they already know the house layout before they walk in. You’re not getting a rotated crew from three counties away. You’re getting people who know that a kitchen in central Sunrise built in 1978 is going to have cast-iron drain lines under the slab and that anyone who says otherwise hasn’t done the job.
Every Sunrise kitchen remodel we take on gets a scope in writing. Every change gets a written change order before we touch it. Permits get pulled and inspections get signed, because Broward County doesn’t make exceptions and we wouldn’t take a job where the homeowner had to pretend permits are optional. If the work isn’t done right, the 90-Day Done Right Promise means one call brings Tom back. It’s printed on the contract, not hidden in a drawer.
We also handle Bathroom Remodeling in Sunrise for homeowners who would rather tackle both rooms with one crew and one set of permits.
Our Kitchen Remodeling Services in Sunrise
Full Kitchen Remodeling
A full kitchen remodel in Sunrise means taking it to the studs and rebuilding it so it finally makes sense for the way you actually cook. In the 1970s tract homes around Northwest 60th Street and the neighborhoods stretching toward Sawgrass Mills, kitchens were built small and closed off. Opening the wall between the kitchen and the living room changes the entire house, and we plan for the structural header that move requires. Most full remodels include new cabinets, countertops, flooring, lighting, a tile backsplash, and usually moving or upgrading appliance lines.

Cabinets & Countertops
Cabinets in Sunrise homes from the 1970s and early 1980s were built with particleboard boxes and glued-on face frames. The humidity from June through October has been warping them for forty years. We install KraftMaid cabinets and Cambria or quartz counters that don’t move when the humidity sits at 90 percent for a week. If you want granite, we service it the same way and seal it before it comes off the truck.

Backsplash, Tile & Flooring
The flat concrete slab under most Sunrise kitchens makes tile installation predictable but unforgiving. You can’t hide a bad subfloor with a layer of plywood the way you can up north. Our tile setters prep the slab and run the layout from the true center of the room so the cut lines land where a dishwasher and range will hide them. We install ceramic, porcelain, and glass tile backsplashes, and we won’t lay the floor until the old flooring is up and the slab is clean enough to hold a bond.

Kitchen Design & Layout
Most 1970s Sunrise kitchens have a soffit above the upper cabinets, and nobody misses it. Removing the soffit means you gain vertical cabinet space that never existed. We also reconfigure layouts for homeowners who want a peninsula gone and an island in. Kitchen islands in Sunrise ran $3,000 to $10,000 depending on whether you want plumbing for a prep sink and whether the electrical needs a dedicated circuit. We’ll tell you the difference between a wish and a code requirement before you commit to either.

Trusted Brands We Service in Sunrise
We install KraftMaid and Cambria in the kitchens because we want you to be able to look those names up. We also carry Simonton windows and PGT impact windows for Sunrise homeowners replacing the kitchen window or adding a pass-through. When we tell you a brand is going in, that’s the brand that shows up. The boxes don’t get swapped at the loading dock, and you’ll see the labels yourself before the first panel gets hung. If you’re on the fence about impact windows for the kitchen, Tom will walk you through the PGT options and what they mean for your insurance quote.
Common Kitchen Remodeling Problems We See in Sunrise Homes
- No hurricane strapping on the roof-to-wall connection. In Sunrise’s older central neighborhoods, roof trusses are often toe-nailed to the concrete block walls with no metal straps at all. When a kitchen remodel includes removing an interior load-bearing wall or adding a pass-through, Broward County’s structural review is going to catch it, and you’ll be retrofitting before you can hang a cabinet. We include a strapping allowance in the bid up front so it doesn’t blow the budget mid-job.
- Cast-iron drain lines under the slab. 1970s CBS homes in Sunrise typically have cast-iron waste lines that have been rusting from the inside for half a century. When we open a wall to move the kitchen sink, we inspect the drain before closing anything up. Replacing a section now is cheaper than a slab leak later.
- High water table during the wet season. Sunrise sits on a flat limestone shelf where the water table comes within inches of grade from June through October. It doesn’t affect a wall-hung kitchen remodel much, but it changes how we handle any slab work, floor demo, or changes to plumbing rough-ins under the slab. You need a dry, stable base before you lay tile on it.
- Flat built-up roofs over the kitchen. Many Sunrise kitchens sit under low-slope built-up roofs that have outlived their design life. If you’re planning to knock out a load-bearing wall or run new exhaust ducting, we coordinate with our Roofing in Sunrise crew so you don’t put a new kitchen under an old roof that’s about to become a problem.
Pricing for Kitchen Remodeling in Sunrise, FL
Here’s what we see in Sunrise, and these numbers are line-item honest:
- Full kitchen remodel: $14,000 to $45,000
- Small or partial kitchen remodel: $9,000 to $20,000
- Cabinet installation and refacing: $4,000 to $13,000
- Countertop installation: $2,000 to $6,500
- Backsplash installation: $800 to $2,500
- Kitchen island installation: $3,000 to $10,000
What moves the number is scope. Moving a sink or range means plumbing and possibly slab work. Removing a wall means structural engineering. And with a home built before the 1994 Florida Building Code, you may be required to bring the roof-to-wall connection up to current code, which is a real line item. We give you all of it in writing before you sign. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll come walk the kitchen with you. The estimate is free.

FAQs - Kitchen Remodeling in Sunrise
Most Sunrise kitchen remodels can be scheduled within two to four weeks of signing the contract, depending on permitting and the scope of structural work required. A straightforward cabinet-and-counter swap starts faster than a wall removal that needs structural review. Call (877) 610-1318 and Tom will give you a real start date, not a range that means “maybe.”
Yes. We cover all of Sunrise’s 33304 zip code and the surrounding neighborhoods, including the areas around Sawgrass Mills, the Amerant Bank Arena corridor, Northwest 60th Street, and the older central tracts near the Springtree neighborhoods. Dispatch and scheduling are coordinated from our Miami office, and crews serve Sunrise locally, so you’re not dealing with a rotating cast.
A live person answers the phone 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and we can respond to urgent kitchen problems like a leaking supply line or a broken pipe under the sink. For full remodels, we schedule during your chosen window with a written timeline. Call (877) 610-1318 and someone will pick up, not a voicemail box.
The numbers are close, and in our experience Sunrise runs about the same as the rest of central Broward, with prices tracking material costs and the structural requirements of the home’s age. The biggest variable is whether your home triggers the Broward County roof-to-wall retrofit requirement, which hits older Sunrise stock harder than most newer neighboring housing. We’ll tell you in the estimate whether that applies to your project, before you spend a dollar.
Every job comes with the 90-Day Done Right Promise written into the contract. If something isn’t done right, one call brings Tom Barrett back to make it right. Materials from KraftMaid, Cambria, Simonton, and PGT carry their own manufacturer warranties, and we handle any claims. Call (877) 610-1318 for the full warranty details in writing, along with your free estimate.
