Fast, Reliable Kitchen Remodeling Across Pembroke Pines
Kitchen remodeling in Pembroke Pines, FL typically runs $14,000 to $45,000, and the single biggest timeline variable isn’t materials or labor. It’s HOA architectural review. In master-planned communities like SilverLakes, Pembroke Falls, and the western 33028 corridor, cabinet colors, island footprints, and even countertop edge profiles have to clear a committee before a single cabinet box gets ordered. We handle that paperwork for you, and we schedule around the review calendar so your kitchen doesn’t sit half-gutted waiting on a signature. Call (877) 610-1318 to talk through your project.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Pembroke Pines’s Preferred Kitchen Remodeling Company
We’re the owner-operated crew that actually shows up with Tom Barrett’s name on the truck and his sons on the job. Since 1998, Barrett & Sons has built our reputation one kitchen at a time, and in Pembroke Pines that means knowing the difference between a 1994 SilverLakes CBS home and a 2005 tract house west of I-75. They look similar from the street. Under the slab, they settle differently, and that changes how we set a kitchen island or lay large-format tile.
Our Pembroke Pines customers call back for a second project because we do two things every other contractor in their past skipped: we pull Broward County permits on every eligible job, and we put every allowance and scope change in writing before the work happens. No stop-work orders from an HOA that never got the submittal. No surprise invoice at the end. Tom Barrett publishes his name, his address, and his license number. Look them up before you sign anything with anyone.
Every price change on a Kitchen Remodeling job in Pembroke Pines arrives as a written change order before we touch the wall. Every completed job carries our 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing on the contract. If something’s not right, one call brings Tom back. We also honor a standing 10% Senior & Veteran discount and a Free Second Opinion on any written estimate you’ve gotten from another contractor.
Our Kitchen Remodeling Services in Pembroke Pines
Full Kitchen Remodeling
A full kitchen remodel in Pembroke Pines means taking a 1990s or early 2000s CBS tract home kitchen down to the slab and building it back with code-compliant plumbing, wind-rated assemblies where required, and materials your HOA will approve. In the 33028 and 33082 ZIP codes, that almost always includes evaluating whether the slab under the original footprint has settled, a problem we see routinely in homes built on engineered fill over drained Everglades muck. Full projects in Pembroke Pines run $14,000 to $45,000, and that range reflects cabinet grade, countertop material, and whether you’re moving plumbing or gas lines.

Cabinets & Countertops
The Pembroke Pines housing stock is heavy on cookie-cutter builder kitchens from the 1990s and 2000s: oak or maple fronts, laminate counters, soffits above the uppers. We replace those with KraftMaid cabinet lines and quartz or granite tops from Cambria and other brands you can look up by name. Cabinet installation alone in Pembroke Pines runs $4,000 to $13,000. Countertop installation lands between $2,000 and $6,500 depending on slab size and edge detail.

Backsplash, Tile & Flooring
Large-format porcelain tile on a settled Pembroke Pines slab will telegraph every low spot as a cracked grout line within months. That’s why we check flatness with a straightedge and correct subfloor deviations before tile goes down. Backsplash installation in Pembroke Pines runs $800 to $2,500. We use Schluter uncoupling membranes under floor tile where the substrate has moved or shows hairline cracking, a common condition in the western 33028 corridor.

Kitchen Design & Layout
This is where most Pembroke Pines kitchen remodels actually succeed or fail before demolition starts. The HOA architectural committee wants dimensions, door style, finish color, proposed materials, and a site plan with the existing elevation. We build that submittal packet for you. We also draw layouts around the way your family actually cooks, not the way a magazine shoots. A smart layout change, like moving the range off a shared wall or adding a prep zone with a second sink, gets priced in writing before you approve anything.

Kitchen Island Installation
In the 33028 corridor, a simple island install is almost never simple. Kitchens in these homes were built over organic muck fill, and a surprising number of slabs have settled a half-inch or more under the original island footprint. We check with a laser level before we cut anything. Kitchen island installation in Pembroke Pines typically runs $3,000 to $10,000, and that includes the structural assessment, base reinforcement where needed, and the countertop fabrication and set. If we find settlement, we fix it before the island goes in, not after the quartz is down.

Trusted Brands We Service in Pembroke Pines
We install and service premium-brand kitchens, not mystery materials off a van. KraftMaid cabinet lines, Cambria quartz, Schluter waterproofing and uncoupling systems, and Grohe fixtures for the sink and prep zones. Every brand we specify has literature you can pull up by name from the manufacturer. For Pembroke Pines customers, that matters for two reasons: HOA submittals go through faster when the plan names recognizable product lines, and warranty claims stay clean when a national manufacturer stands behind the material and Barrett & Sons stands behind the install. We keep common Schluter profiles and cabinet hardware in local stock so a hardware swap or edge detail change doesn’t stall your project for a week.
Common Kitchen Remodeling Problems We See in Pembroke Pines Homes
- Settled slab under the kitchen floor. The western 33028 corridor was built on engineered fill over drained Everglades wetlands, and we routinely find slabs that have settled unevenly under islands, peninsulas, and appliance cutouts. New tile on an unlevel slab cracks within months. We level or float the substrate before any finish material goes down.
- Skipped HOA architectural review. Master-planned communities like SilverLakes and Pembroke Falls enforce architectural guidelines, and cabinet color or island size that wasn’t pre-approved can trigger a stop-work order. We file the submittal packet before demo, and we schedule to the review calendar so the job doesn’t sit half-finished.
- Non-impact-rated windows or sliders in the kitchen. Pembroke Pines sits in the Florida Building Code’s wind-borne debris zone, and a kitchen remodel that touches the exterior wall or replaces a window has to meet impact requirements. Homeowners sometimes assume an interior remodel avoids this. It doesn’t. We spec impact-rated product where the code requires it, every time.
- Builder-grade plumbing that wasn’t meant to move. Many 1990s Pembroke Pines kitchens have slab-over copper supply lines in places that make sense for the original layout and no sense once you move the sink. We plan plumbing relocations before cabinets go in, with the Broward County permit in hand, so you’re not paying for drywall repair on a brand-new kitchen.

FAQs - Kitchen Remodeling in Pembroke Pines
Plan for two to five weeks, depending on the community. SilverLakes, Pembroke Falls, and other master-planned HOA boards in Pembroke Pines review architectural submittals on monthly or bi-monthly meeting schedules, and a complete packet with cabinet style, finish color, island dimensions, and material samples avoids a bounce-back. We file the submittal before demolition and schedule tear-out around the review date, so your kitchen isn’t open to the studs waiting on a committee. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll map your timeline to your HOA’s actual meeting calendar.
Yes. Relocating plumbing or gas lines in a Pembroke Pines kitchen requires a Broward County permit, and the work has to be inspected and signed off. Skipping the permit isn’t a shortcut; it’s a code violation that follows the house through title and insurance reviews. We pull the permit on every eligible job, and the inspector works for you, not for us. That’s exactly why we like him there.
The most common issue is an island or peninsula that was never properly vented for the sink or disposal, a code detail that didn’t matter when the home was built in the late 1990s but does now. Refacing is cosmetic; if the rough-in behind the cabinets doesn’t pass, the inspector will flag it. We check plumbing and venting before we re-face or re-box, and we fix it with the permit open so the finished kitchen passes clean.
Usually yes, but the slab has to be fixed first. In Pembroke Pines homes built on engineered fill over drained Everglades muck, we’ve found settled slab under the original island footprint in a meaningful share of 33028 projects. If the floor has moved, we level the substrate before we set the island. We remodeled a 2001 CBS kitchen west of I-75 where the slab had settled three-quarters of an inch under the old island. We saw-cut the failed section, added compacted fill, and set the new Cambria quartz island on leveling clips before the HOA even asked for the first inspection sign-off. If you want a big island, call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll assess what your slab can carry before you buy the stone.
Some do. Master-planned communities in Pembroke Pines often carry architectural guidelines that restrict finish palettes, door profiles, and whether certain materials are permitted on street-facing openings. A door style that clears review in one neighborhood can get bounced in the next one over. We keep a file of the active guidelines for the communities we work in and design your kitchen to clear review the first time rather than fighting a resubmittal cycle. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate, and we’ll build your submittal packet around your HOA’s actual rules.
