What Opening a Wilton Manors Kitchen Actually Turns Up
The biggest reason a kitchen remodel quote moves in Wilton Manors is the water table. The city is encircled by the Middle River and its canal network, and on older slab foundations the water sits just feet below grade. That means we routinely find corroded rebar, failed waterproofing, and compromised mortar joints beneath original terrazzo or tile. A mile inland in Oakland Park, you almost never see it. Here, we plan for it from the first walkthrough.
On a 1963 CBS ranch near NE 26th Street, we opened the kitchen to find the original jalousie window frames rotted through and the subfloor spongy from decades of canal-side humidity. Our crew reframed the load-bearing wall for impact-rated windows, replaced that subfloor with marine-grade plywood, and wrote the corroded rebar repair into a change order before any slab work began. That is how we handle surprises: inspection first, allowances in the contract, and every price change approved in writing before a single nail moves.
This is the spine of how we work in Wilton Manors. Not a franchise dispatching strangers. Tom Barrett and his sons run the crews, most days they are on-site, and the permit inspector works for you, not for us. That is why we like him.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is the Local Choice for Kitchen Remodeling in Wilton Manors
We have been a family-owned construction company since 1998, and the same owner, Tom Barrett, still runs the jobs. When you call (877) 610-1318, a live person answers, 24/7. Not a voicemail box, not an out-of-state call center. Scheduling for Wilton Manors is coordinated through our South Florida office, and our crews work locally in the city every week.
Wilton Manors homeowners choose us because permits get pulled and inspections get signed on every eligible job. The last contractor most of our customers used told them permits were optional. They are not. Broward County post-Hurricane Andrew code requires impact-rated openings and verified roof-to-wall connections on permitted work. We quote that from day one, not after your kitchen is torn apart.
Every job is backed by our 90-Day Done Right Promise, written on the contract. If it is not done right, one call brings Tom back. Ask anyone on your street, or look up the license number yourself.
Our Kitchen Remodeling Services in Wilton Manors
We handle the full scope of Kitchen Remodeling work, from gut renovations to cabinet refacing on a 1950s bungalow. Here are the services our Wilton Manors customers ask for most.
Kitchen Design & Layout
Wilton Manors kitchens in CBS ranch homes are small, often under 120 square feet, with load-bearing walls that run through the middle of the room. We redesign the layout around how you actually cook and entertain, then pull permits for any wall we move. If your home still has original jalousie windows, the design includes replacing them with impact-rated units as part of the scope, because Browad County will flag them the moment we file for the renovation.
Cabinets & Countertops
Cabinets in canal-adjacent Wilton Manors homes take humidity abuse year round. We install plywood-box cabinets and stone tops that hold up to the moisture, not particleboard that swells and sags within five years. Quartz and granite countertops run $2,000 to $6,500 installed, depending on slab size and edge profile. Cabinet installation runs $4,000 to $13,000.
Backsplash, Tile & Flooring
Terrazzo floors are a Wilton Manors signature, and plenty of homeowners want to keep them. We can usually do that, and we will tell you if your slab needs waterproofing before we top it with new tile. Backsplash work runs $800 to $2,500, and we use epoxy grout near canals to resist the chloride-driven moisture that eats standard grout in a few years.

Common Kitchen Remodeling Problems We See in Wilton Manors Homes
- Corroded rebar under original terrazzo. The high water table near the Middle River accelerates chloride corrosion on structural steel. We epoxy-coat or replace it, and we budget for it in the allowance before we quote, not after we jackhammer.
- Rotted jalousie window frames. Original 1950s and 60s jalousies leak air and water. Code requires impact-rated replacements on permitted work. We quote Simonton and PGT windows as part of the kitchen scope when adjacent walls are opened.
- Failing flat-roof membranes over the kitchen. Many Wilton Manors ranch homes have low-slope or flat roofs with aging built-up membranes. If there is water staining above your kitchen, we inspect the roof during the estimate and tie the roof repair into the remodeling scope before the ceiling comes down.
- Inspector-flagged seawalls. On canal-front lots, Broward County inspectors will halt rear-yard work if the original 1950s concrete seawall is failing. We identify this during the permit pull and price the rebuild as a separate written change order, clearly, before any kitchen work is delayed.

FAQs - Kitchen Remodeling in Wilton Manors
Yes. If your kitchen remodel requires a permit and the jalousie windows are in or adjacent to the work area, Broward County code requires impact-rated replacements. We quote this during the initial walkthrough, not after the inspector flags it. Call (877) 610-1318 and we will tell you exactly which openings on your home are affected before you sign.
Because the water table in Wilton Manors sits just feet below grade on canal-adjacent parcels, and original waterproofing on 1950s and 60s slabs is frequently failed. We write a waterproofing allowance into every Wilton Manors kitchen scope so the cost is agreed to in writing before we find out what is under the tile.
Cabinet replacement and countertop installation (without plumbing, electrical, or structural changes) generally do not require a permit. The moment we touch plumbing, electrical, or any load-bearing wall, a permit is required, and we pull it. We will tell you in writing which scope triggers a permit before work begins.
Broward County inspectors can halt rear-yard work if the original concrete seawall on a canal-front lot is deteriorating, which is why we assess fence and rear-yard work carefully during the permit pull. We flag this during the permit pull, price it as a separate change order, and if the inspector requires the rebuild, that cost is approved by you in writing before any new work proceeds. No surprise invoices.
You can usually keep them. Terrazzo is a Wilton Manors signature, and we can work around it, polish it, and even tie new tile to it. If the slab beneath is compromised from canal-side moisture, we will show you photos, quote the repair as a written change order, and let you decide. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate. We will walk your floors with you and tell you the truth.
