Kitchen Remodeling in Lauderdale Lakes, FL: What It Actually Costs and What to Expect

A full kitchen remodel in Lauderdale Lakes typically runs $14,000 to $45,000, depending on whether you’re keeping the existing layout or moving plumbing and electrical. A smaller refresh, new counters and backsplash and cabinet work, usually lands between $9,000 and $20,000. We’re Barrett & Sons Construction, and we’ve worked in enough Lauderdale Lakes homes to know that the real cost of a kitchen remodel in this city usually has less to do with what you pick at a showroom and more to do with what’s hiding behind those 1960s and 1970s walls when we open them up.

Fast, Reliable Kitchen Remodeling Across Lauderdale Lakes

If your Lauderdale Lakes kitchen hasn’t been touched since the Carter administration, you already know the feeling: the cabinets that don’t close right, the outlets that can’t handle a toaster and a microwave at the same time, the counters that have seen better decades. We work in Lauderdale Lakes regularly, and we know the specific houses this city throws at us: single-story CBS builds from the 1960s and 1970s, original jalousie windows over the sink in a lot of them, and electrical panels that were sized for a much simpler era. Our Kitchen Remodeling team knows what to look for before we ever swing a hammer, because we’ve done this work all over Lauderdale Lakes and Broward County. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll come out, look at your kitchen, and tell you what you’re actually dealing with.

Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Lauderdale Lakes’s Preferred Kitchen Remodeling Company

We’re not a franchise. We’re not a call center that subcontracts your kitchen to whoever picks up the phone. Barrett & Sons is owned and operated by Tom Barrett, founded in 1998, and his sons run the crews. When you call about a kitchen remodel in Lauderdale Lakes, a live person answers, 24/7. When we give you a quote, Tom’s name, address, and license number are published for you to verify before you sign anything.

We’ve built our reputation in Lauderdale Lakes by doing what a lot of contractors won’t: pulling permits and getting inspections signed on every eligible job. That matters in a city this old. A kitchen remodel in a 1972 CBS home isn’t just swapping cabinets, it’s opening walls and finding what’s behind them. The permit inspector works for you, not for me, that’s why I like him. When we finish a Lauderdale Lakes kitchen, it’s done to current Broward County code, not to whatever was acceptable when the house went up.

Our 90-Day Done Right Promise is written on every contract: if it’s not done right, Tom comes back and makes it right, one call. No fine print, no runaround. We serve Lauderdale Lakes and the surrounding area directly, with scheduling and dispatch coordinated from our Miami South Florida office.

Our Kitchen Remodeling Services in Lauderdale Lakes

Full Kitchen Remodeling

A full kitchen remodel in Lauderdale Lakes means taking the room down to the studs when needed and rebuilding it right. In these older CBS homes, that almost always means upgrading the electrical panel to handle modern appliance loads, reworking plumbing that hasn’t been touched in 50 years, and squaring up walls that have settled. We handle the entire scope, from demolition to final inspection, and every change to that scope arrives as a written change order before a single nail moves.

Cabinets & Countertops

Cabinets in Lauderdale Lakes homes are often the originals, particleboard boxes that have been swelling in South Florida humidity for five decades. We install KraftMaid cabinetry and Cambria quartz countertops, materials you can look up and verify, not mystery brands off a van. If your existing cabinet boxes are still sound, refacing runs considerably less than a full replacement. If they’re not, we’ll tell you straight.

Backsplash, Tile & Flooring

The backsplash and floor tile in a 1970s Lauderdale Lakes kitchen is often sitting on a mud bed that’s cracked and tired. We remove it properly, address the substrate, and install tile that will handle the humidity and temperature swings this part of Broward County throws at it. We’ll walk you through material options and give you line-item pricing, so you know exactly what the tile work costs before we start.

Kitchen Design & Layout

Most Lauderdale Lakes kitchens were built closed off from the living space, with a footprint that worked for 1970 but doesn’t work for how families cook today. We help you rework the layout, opening walls where it makes sense (and where the structure allows it), repositioning the sink and range, and adding an island if the room can support one. A kitchen island installation in Lauderdale Lakes runs $3,000 to $10,000, depending on size, plumbing, and electrical.

Trusted Brands We Service in Lauderdale Lakes

We don’t install whatever is cheapest at the supply house this week. In Lauderdale Lakes kitchens, we regularly install KraftMaid cabinetry, Cambria quartz, and other premium brands you can research yourself. We keep solid access to local parts and materials in the Broward County market, so a backsplash order or a countertop template doesn’t stall your project for weeks. If you want Techo-Bloc or Cambridge pavers tied into an outdoor kitchen or adjacent patio, or need Fence Installation in Lauderdale Lakes, we handle that too. You’ll know exactly what’s going into your home, by name, before you pay a dollar.

Common Kitchen Remodeling Problems We See in Lauderdale Lakes Homes

• Undersized electrical panels. Most 1960s and 1970s CBS homes in Lauderdale Lakes were built with 60-amp or 100-amp panels. A modern kitchen with a microwave, a dishwasher, and a range pulls more than that. We upgrade the panel and run new circuits to meet Broward County code.
• Jalousie windows over the sink. Those original 1970s jalousie windows are still all over Lauderdale Lakes, and they’re usually the first thing a permit inspector flags. Removing them often exposes rotted pressure-treated window bucks behind decades of stucco patch work, so a “simple window swap” becomes framing and re-stucco repair.
• Groundwater and slab issues. Lauderdale Lakes sits on the flat, low-elevation Broward County coastal plain. The water table can be two to three feet below grade. Any work that touches a slab or requires excavation, moving a kitchen sink drain or adding a pot filler, has to account for groundwater. We handle it the right way, with continuous pumping when needed, not by pretending it doesn’t exist.
• Layered flooring and tired substrate. We routinely find three or four layers of old vinyl and tile when we open up a Lauderdale Lakes kitchen floor. That adds height and hides water damage. We strip it down to the substrate, repair what’s underneath, and install the new floor properly.
