AfterFast, Reliable Kitchen Remodeling Across West Gate
A full kitchen remodel in West Gate typically runs $14,000 to $45,000, and most projects take four to eight weeks depending on scope, materials, and the county inspection schedule. Those are real numbers from real jobs in your neighborhood, not a national average pulled off a website. If you’re considering tearing out the old cabinets or reworking the layout of a 1960s CBS home near West Gate’s quiet residential streets, call Barrett & Sons Construction at (877) 610-1318 and we’ll give you a straight answer about what your kitchen will cost.
West Gate is unincorporated Palm Beach County, which means your project runs through one of the busiest building departments in Florida. We’ve pulled permits and scheduled inspections on enough West Gate kitchens to know the rhythm, and we build that reality into every schedule we give you. No surprises about county inspector delays. No promises we can’t keep.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is West Gate’s Preferred Kitchen Remodeling Company
Tom Barrett started this company in 1998, and his sons run the crews. That’s not a marketing line. When you hire Kitchen Remodeling through Barrett & Sons, the people showing up at your West Gate home answer to the name on the truck, not to a franchise office in another state. Tom publishes his name, his address, and his license number. Look them up before you sign anything.
West Gate homeowners tell us the same story over and over: a big company quoted one number on the phone, then handed them a different bill once the cabinets were half-hung. We don’t work that way. Every scope, every allowance, every price change arrives as a written change order before work proceeds. The allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date, and we’d rather be boring about the paperwork than dramatic about the bill.
We also answer our own phone, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. A live person, not a voicemail box, not an out-of-state call center. When you’re pricing a Kitchen Remodeling in West Gate project and have a question at 8 p.m. on a Tuesday, you’ll reach someone who can actually help.
Our Kitchen Remodeling Services in West Gate
Full Kitchen Remodeling
A full-gut kitchen remodel in West Gate means taking the room down to the studs and rebuilding it. For the older CBS homes that dominate this community, that often includes bringing framing, strapping, and openings up to current Florida Building Code before a single cabinet goes in. We handle all of it: demolition, structural work, rough-in plumbing and electrical, drywall, cabinetry, counters, flooring, and finish work. One crew, one contract, one written price.
Cabinets & Countertops
If your West Gate kitchen still has the original 1960s or 1970s cabinets, you already know they’re fighting you every time you open a drawer. We install KraftMaid cabinetry and Cambria countertops, among other premium brands you can actually look up. No mystery materials off the back of a van. Whether you want painted shaker doors and quartz counters or a full custom island, we’ll spec it in writing with every allowance itemized.
Backsplash, Tile & Flooring
South Florida humidity and decades of cooking grease take a toll on West Gate kitchens. We regularly strip old laminate backsplashes and vinyl flooring to install tile that holds up to the climate and actually looks like someone planned the room. Schluter waterproofing systems go under every tile surface we install near a sink or range, because water in this part of Florida never stays where you want it.
Kitchen Design & Layout
Many West Gate kitchens were built in an era when kitchens were closed-off rooms at the back of the house. We spend real time on layout before we ever open a wall. That means measuring traffic flow, locating plumbing and electrical constraints in your CBS structure, and designing a kitchen that works for how you actually cook, not how a catalog photo looks. We’ll show you options in writing before you commit to anything.

Trusted Brands We Service in West Gate
We carry and install materials you can verify: KraftMaid and Cambria in kitchens, Schluter for waterproofing, and Sterling for sink and plumbing fixtures where the project calls for it. When a West Gate homeowner wants a specific brand or model, we order it, track it, and schedule around it. If there’s an issue with a product, you call us and we handle the manufacturer. You don’t get bounced between a fabricator and a big-box store. That’s the difference between working with an owner-operated local contractor and a company that just collects a deposit.
Common Kitchen Remodeling Problems We See in West Gate Homes
- Missing hurricane straps and outdated roof-to-wall connections. West Gate’s housing stock predates Florida’s post-Hurricane Andrew code overhaul, so opening a wall for a kitchen remodel often reveals framing that doesn’t meet current fastening schedules. We bring it up to code before we close the wall back up.
- Cast-iron plumbing at the end of its life. Many West Gate homes still have original cast-iron drain lines under the slab. You don’t want to bury new cabinets and flooring over pipes that are already failing. We scope them before we build.
- County inspection scheduling delays. Because West Gate sits in unincorporated Palm Beach County, framing and rough-in inspections run through county inspectors covering a huge multi-community territory. We pad schedules realistically so a project doesn’t stall out waiting for a signature.
- Water damage hiding behind old cabinets. South Florida’s wet season means near-daily afternoon storms from June through October. The slow leaks those storms expose don’t always show themselves until we demo. We line-item the repair in a written change order before touching anything else.

FAQs - Kitchen Remodeling in West Gate
A full kitchen remodel in West Gate runs $14,000 to $45,000, with smaller updates starting around $9,000. The biggest variables are structural remediation on older CBS homes, material selection, and whether you’re moving plumbing or electrical. Call (877) 610-1318 for an exact quote on your specific kitchen. Estimates are free, and every price comes in writing.
Yes. Every eligible West Gate job includes permits pulled and inspections signed through Palm Beach County’s Building Division. We don’t treat permits as optional, because the last contractor many of our customers used told them permits were optional, and it cost them later. The permit inspector works for you, not for me. That’s why I like him.
Most full kitchen remodels in West Gate take four to eight weeks. County inspection scheduling in unincorporated Palm Beach County can add a few days between phases, so we build that buffer into our schedule up front rather than surprising you mid-project. Smaller updates move faster. We’ll give you a written schedule with your estimate.
Only if you change the scope. Every price change, every allowance adjustment, every additional item gets issued as a written change order and signed by you before work proceeds. We don’t do verbal surprises and we don’t send a different bill at the end. If we find something behind the walls that needs addressing, you’ll know the cost in writing before we touch it.
