Fast, Reliable Kitchen Remodeling Across Wellington
Kitchen remodeling in Wellington, FL typically runs $14,000 to $45,000 for a full remodel, with smaller partial projects starting around $9,000. Most Wellington homeowners we work with schedule major demolition between May and November, because the winter equestrian season shuts down heavy work in many communities. If you’re planning a kitchen remodel in Wellington, the first step is a written, line-item estimate, not a vague number tossed over the phone. Call Tom Barrett and his sons at (877) 610-1318 and we’ll walk your kitchen with a clipboard, not a sales pitch.
We know Wellington’s rhythm. The village empties out in summer, fills up for the Winter Equestrian Festival, and HOA rules shift with the calendar. A remodel here is different than one in Lake Worth or Royal Palm Beach, and you want a crew that has worked through a Wellington February before.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Wellington’s Preferred Kitchen Remodeling Company
We’re Barrett & Sons Construction, founded in 1998 and still owner-operated by Tom Barrett. Tom lives twenty minutes from Wellington and his sons run the crews. When you call, a live person answers, 24/7, not an out-of-state call center. That matters here because Wellington kitchen jobs move fast in May and you don’t want to leave a voicemail when the HOA approves your permit and the cabinet order needs to go in the same day.
Our reputation in Wellington and the surrounding villages is built on written change orders, permits pulled, and inspections signed. We publish Tom Barrett’s name, address, and license number, and we invite you to look it up before you sign anything. The permit inspector works for you, not for me, which is exactly why we want him on the job. We’ve remodeled kitchens from the gated communities off South Shore Boulevard to the equestrian estates out by Palm Beach Point, and the same rule applies everywhere: scope in writing, allowances in writing, change orders in writing. An allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date.
Every completed job carries our 90-Day Done Right Promise, written on the contract. If it’s not done right, Tom comes back and makes it right, one call.
Our Kitchen Remodeling Services in Wellington
Full Kitchen Remodeling
A full kitchen remodeling job in Wellington means we’re down to the studs in some places and refinishing in others. We handle the demolition, the slab work, the electrical, the plumbing rough-in, the drywall, the cabinets, the stone, and the final trim. In Wellington’s CBS slab-on-grade homes, most full remodels include moving or adding plumbing, which means cutting into the slab. That’s a groundwater conversation, and we’ll have it with you before the saw ever comes off the truck.

Cabinet Installation & Refacing
If your cabinets are structurally sound but look tired, refacing is the pragmatic move. We install new doors, drawer fronts, and hardware, and we can reframe the boxes if needed. Full cabinet installation in Wellington typically runs $4,000 to $13,000 depending on linear footage and whether you’re going stock or semi-custom. For homes built in the 1980s and 1990s, the original builder-grade cabinets are often on their last hinges, and refacing buys another fifteen years.

Quartz & Granite Countertops
Countertop installation in Wellington runs $2,000 to $6,500 for most kitchens. We stock Cambria quartz and a range of granite slabs, but we’ll also install what you pick from a local fabricator. The Wellington climate doesn’t warp stone, but the humidity does get into seams if they’re not sealed properly, and we use a two-part epoxy and careful joint layout to keep moisture out.

Kitchen Design & Layout
Most Wellington kitchens built in the 1990s have a closed-off footprint and a soffit above the upper cabinets. Opening that wall, removing the soffit, and adding an island changes how the whole house lives. Our Kitchen Remodeling team will draw the layout, pull the permit, and have the structural engineer sign off if we’re moving walls. Kitchen island installation alone runs $3,000 to $10,000 in Wellington, and the island often becomes the piece that sells the house later.

Trusted Brands We Service in Wellington
We install materials you can look up, not mystery brands off a van. In Wellington kitchens we work with KraftMaid and Cambria regularly, and we’ve built showers with Grohe fixtures and Schluter waterproofing systems. We keep local relationships with Wellington suppliers, which means a cabinet order or stone slab doesn’t sit in a warehouse for two weeks while a permit sits on a desk. Fast turnaround matters here because the May-to-November window is finite.
Common Kitchen Remodeling Problems We See in Wellington Homes
- Equestrian-season stop-work orders: Starting a kitchen gut in February without checking the HOA’s seasonal noise rules is the classic Wellington mistake. Some western communities restrict major interior demolition from January through April while owners are in residence for the Winter Equestrian Festival. We check the community’s architectural rules before the first hammer swings.
- Groundwater wicking through the slab: Wellington’s water table sits 18 to 24 inches below grade in most of the village. Open the slab for plumbing rough-in without a dewatering plan and groundwater seeps into the new subfloor, stalls the inspection, and rots whatever you just installed. We’ve handled this in enough Wellington homes to plan for it before we cut.
- Hurricane-code violations on kitchen expansions: If your remodel extends into a breakfast nook or adds sliding glass doors, Palm Beach County requires impact-rated openings and engineered roof-to-wall strapping to meet the 170+ mph design wind speed. Non-impact windows trigger a costly change order after permit review, so we spec them from the start.
- Builder-grade materials hitting end of life: Wellington’s housing stock is mostly CBS homes from the 1980s through early 2000s, and the original builder kitchens are hitting their first major replacement cycle. We see failed sink areas where years of slow leaks rotted the subfloor, and Formica counters that have delaminated in the Florida humidity.

FAQs - Kitchen Remodeling in Wellington
Yes, but with restrictions. Many Wellington HOAs and estate communities restrict major interior demolition from January through April while owners are in residence for the Winter Equestrian Festival. Light work like cabinet refacing, backsplash installation, or countertop templating is usually fine, but a full kitchen gut often has to wait until May. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll check your community’s rules before you commit to a timeline.
A full kitchen remodel in Wellington runs $14,000 to $45,000, and that includes permits, inspections, and hurricane-code compliance on any impacted openings. If you’re adding windows or sliding doors, plan for impact-rated glass, which adds to the total. The best way to know your number is a written, line-item quote, which we provide free.
Yes, in Wellington you do. The water table sits 18 to 24 inches below grade across much of the village, and cutting into a slab without a dewatering plan lets groundwater seep up into the new subfloor. We plan for this before any slab work starts, and it’s one of the reasons a Wellington kitchen remodel needs a crew that understands local drainage patterns.
Yes, cabinet refacing is a practical option in Wellington if the boxes are sound. You keep the frames, we install new doors, drawer fronts, and hardware, and the kitchen looks rebuilt for a fraction of the full cabinet replacement cost. Refacing runs roughly $4,000 to $13,000 depending on the size and door style, and it’s a good fit for the original builder kitchens in 1990s CBS homes.
Every price change at Barrett & Sons Construction is a written change order issued before work proceeds. We never do the work and bill you after. You avoid change orders by locking in your scope, your allowances, and your materials before demolition starts, and we walk through that with you line by line at contract signing. Call (877) 610-1318 for an exact quote, estimates are free.
