AfterFast, Reliable Kitchen Remodeling Across Lighthouse Point
Kitchen remodeling in Lighthouse Point, FL typically runs $14,000-$45,000 for a full renovation, with cabinet and countertop jobs landing between $4,000 and $13,000. Most projects take 4-8 weeks depending on scope, and the smart money goes to a contractor who understands canal-front construction before the first demo day. Barrett & Sons Construction has been owner-operated since 1998, and we know exactly what salt air does to a kitchen on the Intracoastal. Call (877) 610-1318 and Tom Barrett will answer himself.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Lighthouse Point’s Preferred Kitchen Remodeling Company
We’re not a franchise dispatching strangers to Lighthouse Point. Tom Barrett and his sons run the crews that show up at your door, and Tom publishes his name, address, and license number so you can look him up before you sign anything. Background-checked, uniformed crew members carry the Barrett & Sons name on every visit, and every price change arrives as a written change order before a single nail moves. That’s how we’ve built a local reputation over 29 years: scope in writing, allowances in writing, change orders in writing.
Lighthouse Point homeowners call us because we already know what a canal-front kitchen demands. We’ve replaced seized aluminum cabinet hinges near the Lighthouse Point Yacht Club, dealt with swelling MDF toe-kicks on finger-canal lots off 33064, and walked owners through HOA architectural reviews before relocating a sink run. The permit inspector works for you, not for me, so we pull permits and sign inspections on every eligible job. If something isn’t right after we leave, the 90-Day Done Right Promise means one call brings Tom back.
Our Kitchen Remodeling Services in Lighthouse Point
Full Kitchen Remodeling
A full Kitchen Remodeling project in Lighthouse Point means gutting to the studs on homes built between 1955 and 1985, many of which still carry original flat or low-slope built-up roofs and undersized electrical panels. We coordinate the panel upgrade, spec marine-grade fasteners throughout, and pull the Broward County permits the job actually needs. Expect $14,000-$45,000 depending on layout changes and finish level.
Cabinets & Countertops
Canal humidity punishes cabinets that inland contractors install without a second thought. We spec plywood boxes with sealed cut edges, stainless steel soft-close hinges, and moisture-resistant finishes that hold up within a block of the Intracoastal. Cabinet and countertop packages in Lighthouse Point run $4,000-$13,000. Countertops alone, including quartz and granite, land at $2,000-$6,500.
Backsplash, Tile & Flooring
Backsplash installation in Lighthouse Point runs $800-$2,500, and we use epoxy grout rated for high-moisture kitchens rather than the standard cement grout that stains and crumbles in salt air. Tile and flooring choices matter here too. Porcelain wears better than natural stone near a canal, and we’ll tell you that straight instead of selling you something pretty that fails in three years.
Kitchen Design & Layout
Lighthouse Point’s finger-canal lots were platted narrow and deep, which means kitchens often sit on an exterior wall facing a 25-ft seawall setback. Adding an island with plumbing or bumping out a wall can trigger a variance that adds 6-10 weeks before you can pour a footer. We design around that from day one, so your layout works without a stop-work order. Island installation itself runs $3,000-$10,000.

Trusted Brands We Service in Lighthouse Point
We install materials you can look up, not mystery brands off a van. In Lighthouse Point kitchens, we regularly work with KraftMaid cabinetry and Cambria quartz, along with Techo-Bloc and Cambridge Pavers when a remodel extends to outdoor hardscapes. If you’re curious how one brand holds up against canal humidity versus another, ask Tom. He’ll give you a straight answer, and we stock the fast-turnaround parts our Lighthouse Point customers need most so you’re not waiting on a backorder for drawer slides.
Common Kitchen Remodeling Problems We See in Lighthouse Point Homes
- Salt-air corrosion on standard hardware. Zinc-plated fasteners and uncoated steel brackets corrode within a season on canal-front lots, leading to sagging cabinets and failed drawer slides. We spec hot-dipped galvanized or stainless hardware every time.
- Swelling MDF and unsealed wood bases. The high seasonal water table, often within 18-24 inches of grade, means ground-level moisture wicks into unsealed cabinet edges during the June-October wet season. We seal every cut edge on plywood boxes before installation.
- Seawall setback conflicts on kitchen additions. The required 25-ft seawall setback and rear yard setback overlap on many narrow Lighthouse Point lots. Moving a sink line or adding an island with plumbing can hit a variance requirement that out-of-area GCs don’t see coming.
- Undersized electrical panels on 1960s-1980s CBS homes. Older Lighthouse Point homes frequently can’t support modern appliance loads without a panel upgrade, which current Broward County permit rules flag during any kitchen remodel. We pull that permit and coordinate the inspection before we close the walls.

FAQs - Kitchen Remodeling in Lighthouse Point
Yes, in most cases you do. The 25-ft seawall setback and rear yard setback overlap on Lighthouse Point’s narrow finger-canal lots, which means any kitchen expansion that moves plumbing closer to the canal triggers a variance from the city before you can pull a permit. That variance typically adds 6-10 weeks. We file the paperwork and coordinate the review so your project doesn’t stall. Call (877) 610-1318 for an exact read on your lot.
No. Cabinet replacement and most kitchen remodels do not void a structural warranty unless the work alters load-bearing walls or compromises the building envelope. Your structural warranty covers the frame, roof, and foundation. What you do want is a contractor who pulls permits on any electrical or plumbing changes, because unpermitted work can absolutely void portions of a builder warranty. We pull permits and sign inspections on every eligible Lighthouse Point job.
Plywood boxes with sealed cut edges outperform MDF in Lighthouse Point’s salt-air environment, and stainless steel soft-close hinges replace the zinc-plated hardware that seizes within a season near the Intracoastal. We specify marine-grade cabinet materials for canal-front kitchens and sealed-edge plywood as the minimum standard for any home in 33064. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll walk you through the options line by line.
Yes. Quartz handles salt spray and humidity better than natural stone because it’s non-porous and doesn’t require sealing, but the adhesive and support brackets must be marine-grade. On a waterfront home near the Lighthouse Point Yacht Club, our crew installed quartz with a marine-grade adhesive after replacing seized aluminum cabinet hinges. The countertops held, and the brackets won’t rust. Expect $2,000-$6,500 in Lighthouse Point.
Because the inspector verifies that electrical, plumbing, and structural work meets current Broward County code before it gets hidden behind drywall. In Lighthouse Point, that inspection also confirms compliance with the city’s seawall setback requirements on canal-front lots. If the inspection doesn’t happen, the work isn’t signed off, and you’re left with an open permit that complicates any future sale. We schedule the inspection and stand there while it happens. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate.
