AfterFast, Reliable Kitchen Remodeling Across Pompano Beach Highlands
Kitchen remodeling in Pompano Beach Highlands, FL typically runs $14,000-$45,000, and the houses here need a different set of materials than what a generic contractor will quote you. We’re talking about 1960s-1980s CBS construction sitting on porous limestone with a high water table, surrounded by salt humidity that corrodes cheap hardware within two seasons. Barrett & Sons has been pulling permits and fixing what we find in this ZIP for years, and we answer the phone at (877) 610-1318 when you call.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Pompano Beach Highlands’s Preferred Kitchen Remodeling Company
Tom Barrett founded this company in 1998, and his sons run the crews that show up in Pompano Beach Highlands. You’ll see Tom on-site most days, not a project manager who flies in and disappears. The permit inspector works for you, not for us, and we like it that way. Every scope change arrives as a written change order before a single nail moves, and every job carries the 90-Day Done Right Promise in the contract, not in fine print.
We’ve worked the 33064 ZIP long enough to know that Broward County’s wind mitigation inspection process surfaces problems on nearly every pre-1994 home we touch. When we pull a kitchen permit, the building division frequently requires a roof-to-wall strap retrofit on the exterior wall behind the kitchen. We tell you that before we swing a hammer, not after. Our customers in Pompano Beach Highlands don’t get surprises; they get a written scope, named brands, and a phone number that a live person answers 24/7.
Our Kitchen Remodeling Services in Pompano Beach Highlands
Full Kitchen Remodeling
A full Kitchen Remodeling project in Pompano Beach Highlands means dealing with the slab, the wind code, and the humidity before we ever set a cabinet. We demolish to the block walls, inspect what’s behind them, and build back with materials rated for South Florida’s moisture and wind-load requirements. This is the job where you find out whether the last remodel hid water damage under the toe-kicks.
Cabinets & Countertops
We install KraftMaid cabinets and Cambria countertops in Pompano Beach Highlands because these are brands you can look up, not mystery boxes off a van. The real difference is what we do behind them: marine-grade sealant at the slab edge so moisture doesn’t wick up into the plywood cases. Standard installers skip that step, and the toe-kicks swell within a year. We also swap every zinc hinge and drawer slide for stainless or hot-dip galvanized hardware because salt humidity doesn’t care that you’re three miles from the ocean.
Backsplash, Tile & Flooring
Tile work in Pompano Beach Highlands homes needs a substrate that can handle slab movement and ambient humidity without cracking grout lines. We inspect the slab for efflorescence and moisture intrusion before we lay tile, and we use sealed joints on everything within splash range of the sink. Our crews handle porcelain, ceramic, and natural stone with the same care, because a cracked grout line in this climate turns into a mold line by August.
Kitchen Design & Layout
The original floor plans in Pompano Beach Highlands’s CBS homes put the kitchen in a corner with one window and no thought for how people actually cook. We rework the layout around the block walls and the existing plumbing stack, and we tell you honestly whether moving that load-bearing wall triggers a strap retrofit you should know about before you fall in love with the drawing. Design decisions happen with the permit office in mind, not in spite of it.
Kitchen Island Installation
An island in a Pompano Beach Highlands kitchen has to work around the slab and the electrical runs beneath it. We install islands with stainless hardware and marine-grade finishes as standard, because the cost difference is small and the failure difference is enormous. Expect $3,500-$10,000 for a properly built island in this ZIP, and expect it to last.

Trusted Brands We Service in Pompano Beach Highlands
The brands we specify in Pompano Beach Highlands survive here: KraftMaid and Cambria in kitchens, Simpson hardware and stainless fasteners in the rough-in, and impact-rated windows from PGT or CGI when a remodel exposes an exterior wall. We keep common parts stocked for turnaround times that respect your schedule, and we service what we install without pointing you to a manufacturer’s 800 number. If a hinge fails under our 90-Day Done Right Promise, one call brings Tom back.
Common Kitchen Remodeling Problems We See in Pompano Beach Highlands Homes
- Slab-edge saturation under cabinets. The high water table in Pompano Beach Highlands pushes moisture up through the slab, and it wicks into MDF toe-kicks and cabinet bases within the first wet season. We seal the slab edge with a marine-grade coating before installation, which most contractors only do on beachfront jobs.
- Missing hurricane clips behind the kitchen’s exterior wall. Pulling a remodel permit in this ZIP routinely triggers a wind-mitigation inspection, and that inspection routinely finds no straps connecting the roof to the block walls. The retrofit adds $1,200-$2,800, and we tell you before the permit is filed, not after the wall is open.
- Salt-humidity corrosion on hardware. Even inland, the ambient salt humidity in Pompano Beach Highlands eats zinc cabinet hinges and drawer slides in two seasons. Stainless or hot-dip galvanized hardware costs a bit more up front and eliminates the callback.
- Original jalousie windows rusted behind walls. On a 1968 CBS home off NE 36th Street, our crew opened the kitchen wall for a load-bearing header and found the original jalousie window frame had rusted from ambient salt humidity even though the house is miles from the ocean. That discovery changed the scope, and because we document every change in writing, the owner knew exactly what the fix cost before we did it.
Pricing for Kitchen Remodeling in Pompano Beach Highlands, FL
Here’s what kitchen remodeling actually costs in Pompano Beach Highlands when you build to the moisture and wind code that applies in this ZIP. These are real ranges from jobs we’ve done here, not national averages:
| Service | Price Range (Pompano Beach Highlands) |
|---|---|
| Kitchen Remodel (coastal-spec) | $18,000-$45,000 |
| Kitchen Remodel (standard range) | $14,000-$45,000 |

| Countertop Installation | $2,000-$6,500 |
| Backsplash Installation | $800-$2,500 |

The gap between the cheap spec and the coastal-spec version of the same job is real. A contractor who quotes $12,000 for a kitchen remodel in Pompano Beach Highlands is either skipping the slab sealing, skipping the hurricane strap retrofit, or installing hardware that will corrode before the warranty expires. Within a decade, that cheap spec costs more than ours did on day one. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free written estimate, and we’ll show you the line items before you sign anything.

FAQs - Kitchen Remodeling in Pompano Beach Highlands
Because most pre-1994 CBS homes in this ZIP were never built with hurricane clips connecting the roof structure to the block walls, and Broward County’s wind mitigation inspection process exposes that absence the moment a permit is pulled. We tell you about the potential retrofit before we file, and we include it as a line item in your written quote rather than springing it on you mid-job.
Yes. The ambient salt humidity in Pompano Beach Highlands corrodes zinc hardware and swells unsealed MDF within two seasons, even miles from the coast. We use stainless or hot-dip galvanized hinges and slides, and we seal the slab edge with a marine-grade coating before a single cabinet goes in. It’s the only way a cabinet install survives this climate.
Expect $18,000-$45,000 for the coastal-spec version versus a lower range that looks cheaper but skips the sealing and the strap retrofit. The cheap spec fails within a decade; the coastal-spec version is built to match the house you actually own. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll walk you through the line items so you can compare honestly.
Cabinet replacement alone may not require a permit, but if the work touches plumbing, electrical, or a load-bearing wall, Pompano Beach Building Division will want a permit. And any permit on a pre-1994 home can trigger the wind mitigation inspection. We’ll tell you exactly what your scope will trigger before you decide, and every eligible job gets permits pulled and inspections signed.
Most often because the contractor didn’t anticipate the roof-to-wall strap retrofit or the moisture-sealing requirement the inspector is bound to enforce. We’ve done enough of these in the 33064 ZIP to know what the inspector will look for, and we build that into the schedule and the written price before we start. Call (877) 610-1318 for an estimate that accounts for Pompano Beach Highlands, not a generic ZIP code.
