Fast, Reliable Kitchen Remodeling Across Palm Beach
A full kitchen remodel in Palm Beach typically runs $14,000 to $45,000, depending on cabinet grade, countertop choice, and whether you’re reworking the footprint of the room. Smaller partial remodels and cabinet refacing land between $9,000 and $20,000. If you’re standing in a 1940s Mizner-era kitchen with original plaster walls and a floor plan that no longer works, you’re also dealing with an island where permits and architectural review touch nearly every change you’d want to make. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll come look at your kitchen, walk the scope with you, and put numbers on paper before anything gets ordered.
We know the Town of Palm Beach runs differently than West Palm Beach or Lake Park across the bridge. That’s not a problem for us. Our crews serve Palm Beach regularly, and we coordinate scheduling out of our South FL office so someone can be on Worth Avenue or South Ocean Boulevard when you need us there.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Palm Beach’s Preferred Kitchen Remodeling Company
Tom Barrett founded this company in 1998 and his sons run the crews. That’s not marketing copy; it’s how the business actually operates. When you hire Kitchen Remodeling with us, the person who shakes your hand at the first walkthrough is the same person accountable if something isn’t right ninety days after the final inspection. Every contract carries our 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing, and Tom’s name, address, and license number are published and verifiable before you sign anything.
Palm Beach homeowners have called us after national outfits quoted one number on the phone and presented a different one at the door. We don’t work that way. Every allowance, every scope change, every material substitution arrives as a written change order before a single nail moves. If a countertop allowance was $4,200 and you pick a Cambria slab that runs $6,800, you’ll see that difference on paper and sign it before fabrication starts. No surprise invoices at the end.
Permits get pulled and inspections get signed on every eligible Palm Beach job. We don’t tell you permits are optional. The town’s building department and ARCOM process will be part of your remodel whether anyone likes it or not, and a contractor who waves that off is setting you up for a problem when you go to sell.
Our Kitchen Remodeling Services in Palm Beach
Full Kitchen Remodeling
A full gut renovation on the island means more than swapping cabinets. Many of these homes sit on Keystone foundations with hand-applied stucco and original plumbing rough-ins from the 1940s or 1950s. We open walls and find what’s actually there before we order anything. In Palm Beach, full remodels typically land between $14,000 and $45,000, and the spread comes down to whether you keep the existing footprint or start moving walls, gas lines, and drain stacks.

Cabinets & Countertops
Cabinet installation in Palm Beach runs $4,000 to $13,000, and cabinet refacing is a smart option when the boxes are sound but the faces and hinges have lived through thirty salt-air summers. Countertop installation runs $2,000 to $6,500, and we install KraftMaid cabinetry and Cambria quartz alongside granite and other natural stone. Given the humidity and temperature swings on the island, we spec hardware and door materials that won’t swell or delaminate the way cheap imports do after a few seasons.

Backsplash, Tile & Flooring
Backsplash work in Palm Beach runs $800 to $2,500 for a typical kitchen. Kitchen floor tile is another story entirely because the island’s shallow water table and periodic king-tide flooding mean slab moisture and elevation need attention before setting tile. We test for that during the walkthrough. If you’ve ever seen grout cracking six months after installation in this town, moisture movement was usually the culprit, not the installer’s trowel technique.

Kitchen Design & Layout
The smallest kitchens on the island are often the most expensive to change. Many of the older condos and smaller mid-century homes along South County Road have galley kitchens wedged between load-bearing walls. Opening one up isn’t impossible, but it means a structural engineer, beams, and engineering drawings submitted with your permit package. We walk the space with you before you commit to any design, and we’ll tell you straight if the wall you want gone is holding up the roof above it.

Trusted Brands We Service in Palm Beach
We carry premium brands you can look up rather than mystery products off a van. In kitchens, that means KraftMaid cabinetry and Cambria quartz. On exterior hardscape work tied to kitchen additions or outdoor entertaining areas, we use Belgard and Techo-Bloc pavers. When a Bathroom Remodeling in Palm Beach project runs alongside a kitchen reno, we coordinate materials so both spaces ship on the same schedule. And if your remodel scope extends to the roof line, our Roofing in Palm Beach crew handles that too. We don’t stock cheap cabinet lines in a warehouse somewhere; we order what your job needs, when it needs it.
Common Kitchen Remodeling Problems We See in Palm Beach Homes
- ARCOM and permit timelines. In the Town of Palm Beach, exterior changes require Architectural Commission review, and even interior remodels can trigger plan reviews that add 60 to 90 days before permits are filed. We plan for that from day one instead of letting it surprise you mid-project.
- Salt-air corrosion on hardware and hinges. Living a few blocks from the Atlantic means cabinet hinges, drawer slides, and plumbing rough-ins corrode faster than anywhere inland. We spec stainless or hot-dip galvanized fasteners throughout. Cheap zinc-plated hardware fails fast here.
- Original 1920s-to-1960s framing and plaster. Many Palm Beach kitchens sit in homes built with old-growth lumber, hand-mixed plaster, and no modern moisture barriers. Opening a wall often reveals surprises. We write scope allowances in the contract so those surprises don’t turn into a bill you didn’t approve.
- Tight staging access. On Worth Avenue and the surrounding historic core, there’s nowhere to park a container or stage materials without coordinating with the town. We schedule deliveries in small drops and protect the right-of-way. It costs more in labor. It’s what the job requires here.
Pricing for Kitchen Remodeling in Palm Beach, FL
A full kitchen remodel in Palm Beach runs $14,000 to $45,000. A small or partial remodel runs $9,000 to $20,000. Cabinet installation alone runs $4,000 to $13,000, while countertops run $2,000 to $6,500 and a new kitchen island runs $3,000 to $10,000 depending on size, plumbing, and electrical. Backsplash tile lands between $800 and $2,500.
What moves your number is cabinet grade, countertop material, whether you’re moving walls or keeping the footprint, and how much of the existing plumbing and electrical needs replacement. On the island, ARCOM review and permit fees also add to the project cost in ways mainland remodelers don’t face. We give you line-item pricing before work starts, and every change after that is a written change order you approve first. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate and we’ll walk the space with you.

FAQs - Kitchen Remodeling in Palm Beach
We can typically get eyes on your kitchen within a few days, but an honest answer on start date depends on ARCOM review timelines, permit processing, and material lead times. Cabinetry from KraftMaid and Cambria slabs both have fabrication windows. We’ll give you a realistic schedule in writing before you commit. Call (877) 610-1318 for an exact timeline on your job.
Yes. We pull permits and shepherding ARCOM submittals is part of what we do on Kitchen Remodeling jobs in Palm Beach. The review process can add 60 to 90 days before permits are filed, and we build that into the schedule from the start. The permit inspector works for you, not for us, and we like it that way.
Only if you change the scope or we uncover something the contract never anticipated, like termite damage or a rusted cast-iron drain stack inside a wall. In that case, you receive a written change order with the new price before any extra work proceeds. No surprises at the end. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll walk you through how allowances work on your specific project.
Expect to pay more in Palm Beach than across the bridge. A full remodel here runs $14,000 to $45,000, and the premium comes from ARCOM-driven design constraints, tighter staging access, salt-air hardware requirements, and the age of the housing stock. In West Palm Beach or Lake Park, you might save 10 to 15 percent on the same scope because approvals and staging are simpler. Call (877) 610-1318 for a line-item comparison for your street.
Every job carries our 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If something wasn’t done right, Tom comes back and makes it right after one call. That’s the same warranty whether you’re on South Ocean Boulevard or a side street off South County Road. Call (877) 610-1318 and ask us about it before you sign anything.
If your Palm Beach kitchen is dated, cramped, or just not working for the way you live now, we’ll give you a straight answer on what it costs and how long it takes. Call (877) 610-1318 to schedule your free estimate. Tom or one of his sons will come out, walk the space with you, and put the scope in writing.
