AfterFast, Reliable Kitchen Remodeling Across Tamarac
A full kitchen remodel in Tamarac, FL typically runs $14,000 to $45,000, and most projects take four to eight weeks once cabinets and countertops arrive. The biggest variable in this city is what you find behind the drywall: Tamarac homes were built almost entirely within a tight 1965 to 1982 window on drained Everglades flatland, so a contractor opening up a wall here will frequently run into electrical panels, tie beams, and slab conditions that a newer-home remodel never deals with.
That’s not a reason to fear the project. It’s a reason to choose a crew that prepares for it. Barrett & Sons Construction knows Tamarac’s housing stock because we’ve been inside hundreds of these homes. We plan for what we’re likely to find before we cut the first opening. Call (877) 610-1318 to schedule a free estimate, and we’ll walk your kitchen with you, open cabinet doors, check what’s going on under the sink, and tell you straight what you’re looking at.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Tamarac’s Preferred Kitchen Remodeling Company
Tom Barrett started this company in 1998, and he still runs it with his sons on the job site most days. That matters in Tamarac, where a lot of homeowners have already been through the national-chain routine: a phone quote that sounded great, a crew that showed up in an unmarked van, and a final bill that didn’t match anything promised. Tom publishes his name, his address, and his license number. You can look all of it up before you sign.
Every kitchen job we take in Tamarac includes permits pulled and inspections signed. The permit inspector works for you, not for us, and Tom likes it that way. We also put every scope change in writing. You’ll never get a surprise invoice at the end, because an allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date.
Scheduling from our South FL office, our crews work Tamarac neighborhoods regularly, including the villa communities along Southgate Boulevard and the single-family streets around Tamarac Veterans’ Park. We answer our phones with a live person, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. When you call (877) 610-1318, you get a human being, not a voicemail box.
Written Guarantees, Not Handshakes
Every completed job carries our 90-Day Done Right Promise, written on the contract. If something isn’t done right, one call brings Tom back. It’s that simple. We also honor a permanent 10% senior and veteran discount, a $40 discount on any repair over $200, a free second opinion on any written estimate, and no trip charge inside the county.
Our Kitchen Remodeling Services in Tamarac
Full Kitchen Remodeling
A full kitchen remodel in Tamarac means taking the room down to studs and rebuilding it. In these older CBS homes, that almost always involves reworking electrical that hasn’t been touched since the Carter administration, and often relocating plumbing that was originally run through the slab. We handle all of it, and the permit file gets closed out with a passed final inspection. Plan on $14,000 to $45,000 depending on layout changes and material choices.
Cabinets & Countertops
We install KraftMaid and other premium cabinet lines, plus Cambria quartz and natural granite countertops. Tamarac kitchens from the 1960s and 1970s were built with narrow door openings and shallow counters. Refitting modern cabinetry into those footprints takes careful measurement, especially in the villa units where one wall may be shared with a neighbor’s kitchen. Cabinet installation runs $4,000 to $13,000; countertop installation runs $2,000 to $6,500.
Backsplash, Tile & Flooring
Tamarac’s humidity means grout and mastic selection actually matters here. We use moisture-rated products suited to South Florida’s year-round humidity, not whatever is cheapest off the shelf. A tile backsplash in Tamarac runs $800 to $2,500. Floor tile for a typical kitchen footprint runs another $1,500 to $4,500 depending on the material you choose.
Kitchen Design & Layout
Many Tamarac homes were originally built with the kitchen as an enclosed, separate room with a single doorway. Opening that wall into the living area transforms how the whole house lives. Before we touch anything, we check the load path, because in these older CBS structures, that interior wall is sometimes doing more work than it looks like. We handle the engineering, the permit drawings, and the build. Kitchen island installation in Tamarac runs $3,000 to $10,000.
Small & Partial Kitchen Remodels
Not every Tamarac kitchen needs a gut. Some just need new cabinet faces, updated counters, and a fresh backsplash. A partial remodel runs $9,000 to $20,000. We also do cabinet refacing, which is the smart move when the cabinet boxes are still solid but the doors are worn out. Quartz and granite replacement counters start at about $2,000.
Trusted Brands We Service in Tamarac
We put brands into Tamarac kitchens that you can look up yourself. In addition to KraftMaid cabinetry and Cambria quartz, we work with Simonton and PGT impact-rated windows when a kitchen remodel extends to the breakfast nook or patio door, and we use Andersen and Marvin for window replacement elsewhere on the house. No mystery brands off a van. If your kitchen project includes windows or a slider, ask us about getting a builder-grade upgrade to PGT impact glass while the walls are already open.
Common Kitchen Remodeling Problems We See in Tamarac Homes
- Original single-pane jalousie windows. Most Tamarac kitchens still have the aluminum jalousie windows installed when the house was built. They leak air, they don’t seal, and they’re against current Florida Building Code for wind uplift. A kitchen remodel is the best time to swap them for impact-rated units.
- Undersized electrical service. These homes were built for a 60-amp panel and a couple of countertop appliances. Modern kitchens with an electric range, microwave, and dishwasher often need a panel upgrade before any new circuits go in. We include that in the written scope so it’s not a surprise.
- Slab moisture wicking. Tamarac sits on drained Everglades flatland with a water table that rises during the June to October wet season. Older slabs wick moisture, which means flooring choices and underlayment need to be specified for that reality. We test before we tile.
- HOA approval layers. A big chunk of Tamarac’s kitchens sit inside HOA-governed villa communities. Exterior-facing changes, and sometimes even structural interior work on a shared wall, require board sign-off in addition to Broward County permits. We’ve navigated dozens of these, and we budget the time for it.

Most full kitchen remodels run four to eight weeks once demolition begins.

We give you a written schedule up front and keep you updated as each phase closes.
Yes. Every eligible job gets permits pulled and inspections signed. In Tamarac specifically, some kitchen work inside HOA-governed communities also requires board approval layered on top of county permitting. We handle that paperwork and fold the timeline into your schedule so it doesn’t stall the job.
Cabinet refacing in Tamarac typically runs $4,000 to $8,000 depending on cabinet count and door style, which is considerably less than a full replacement.
