Cabinets & Countertops in Pompano Beach, FL

Cabinet and countertop replacement in Pompano Beach typically runs $4,800 to $28,000 depending on kitchen size, cabinet line, and surface material – and that number is on the page because Rowan Construction Group puts it in writing before anyone picks up a tool. If your kitchen layout is staying the same but the surfaces are worn, delaminating, or simply dated, this scope of work is the highest-return update most Pompano Beach homeowners can make without moving walls or relocating plumbing.

Grant Rowan founded this company in 2007 with one administrative rule that still holds on every project: the price is written and signed before the first cabinet door comes off. That discipline – 4,000-plus projects later – is why Rowan’s jobs finish within a few percent of the agreed number. If you’re ready to talk scope, call (754) 714-6540. If you’re still researching, the rest of this page has the numbers and the process you need to compare contractors honestly.

This page covers the cabinets and countertops scope specifically. For the full picture of what a kitchen overhaul involves – layout changes, appliance coordination, permits – see our Kitchen Remodeling in Pompano Beach page, which covers the complete trade.

When You Need Cabinets & Countertops Work

• Cabinet boxes are delaminating or swelling. Pompano Beach’s coastal humidity gets into particleboard cabinet boxes faster than most homeowners expect. Once the substrate swells, drawer slides bind, doors rack, and the damage spreads. Repainting over swollen boxes buys months, not years.
• The countertop laminate is lifting at the seams. Lifted edges around the sink or cooktop are not cosmetic – water is already migrating into the substrate below, and in Pompano Beach’s climate that moisture leads to mold growth in the cabinet beneath within one rainy season.
• You’re replacing appliances and the height or depth no longer matches. Standard appliance dimensions shifted slightly over the past decade. New 36-inch refrigerators and 30-inch ranges sometimes sit proud of older cabinet runs, and a cabinet replacement is the right time to correct the alignment rather than leave visible gaps.
• The layout is staying but the kitchen reads as fifteen years old. Raised-panel oak cabinets with almond laminate tops were standard in Pompano Beach tract homes built between 2000 and 2010. Buyers in the current market notice them immediately; updating to shaker doors and quartz surfaces changes the perceived age of the home without a structural remodel.
• Storage capacity is wrong for how the kitchen is used. Shallow upper cabinets, no drawer base cabinets, and a single lazy Susan in the corner are all solvable within the existing footprint. A new cabinet plan with pull-out shelves and deep drawer stacks reorganizes the space without moving walls.
• You’ve had a second opinion and the competing estimate has no written scope. If a contractor handed you a single line item labeled “kitchen cabinets and countertops” with no brand, no box construction spec, and no warranty term, bring that document to us. Grant Rowan will review it line by line at no charge – that’s a standing offer, not a sales call.

Our Cabinets & Countertops Process

1. Measure and document the existing kitchen. Before any discussion of budget or materials, we photograph the existing cabinet condition, measure every run to the quarter inch, and note anything that will affect installation: out-of-plumb walls, soffit height, floor slope, and the location of electrical outlets inside the cabinet run. You receive a copy of those photos as part of your documented project record – included as standard, not an add-on.
2. Deliver a written price with a named scope. Under Clause 1 of the Haven Standard, the price is written before any work starts. That means the quote names the cabinet line (KraftMaid, Wellborn, or the alternative you’ve selected), the box construction spec (plywood box vs. MDF box, dovetail drawer vs. stapled), the countertop material and edge profile, the sink cutout allowance, and the warranty term. No line item reads “allowance” without a dollar figure attached to it.
3. Order and confirm lead times before scheduling demo. Cabinet lead times vary by line and finish. We confirm the order, get a written ship date from the manufacturer, and schedule the demolition and installation dates around the confirmed delivery – not around an estimate. This is how kitchens avoid the two-week limbo with plywood counters that homeowners complain about in contractor reviews.
4. Demolition and substrate inspection. When the old cabinets and countertops come out, we inspect the wall sheathing, the floor structure at the base cabinet line, and the condition of any plumbing rough-in that may have leaked behind the sink cabinet. If something unexpected requires a change in scope, no work proceeds until you’ve reviewed and signed a written change order with the revised cost. That policy has held on every one of our 4,000-plus projects.
5. Cabinet installation and leveling. Base cabinets are scribed to the floor and shimmed level; upper cabinets are hung to a level ledger line. In older Pompano Beach homes, walls are rarely plumb and floors are rarely flat – experienced installation means hiding that reality inside tight scribe moldings, not papering over it with wide filler strips. Doors and drawers are adjusted and confirmed before countertop templating begins.
6. Countertop template, fabrication, and final install. Stone and engineered quartz tops – Caesarstone, Silestone, and similar lines – are templated after the cabinets are confirmed level and plumb. The fabricator cuts from the template, not from the original measurements, so seam placement and sink cutouts are exact. After installation, the crew photographs the finished surfaces, documents the edge profile and material for your records, and walks through the punch list before leaving the site.

Cabinets & Countertops Pricing in Pompano Beach

The honest answer on pricing is that cabinet and countertop costs in Pompano Beach vary more than almost any other remodeling scope – a stock-box laminate kitchen and a semi-custom plywood-box kitchen with quartz tops are both called “cabinet and countertop replacement” but they cost four times as much apart. The table below covers the main tiers.

What moves the number

• Kitchen footprint. Linear feet of cabinet run is the primary cost driver. A 12-foot galley kitchen and a 22-foot L-shaped kitchen are not in the same ballpark even at the same cabinet tier.
• Cabinet box construction. Plywood boxes cost more than particleboard and hold up significantly better in Pompano Beach’s humidity. The difference shows up in the quote and, five years later, in the cabinet condition.
• Countertop material and thickness. Engineered quartz (Caesarstone, Silestone) is priced per square foot of slab, and 3cm thickness costs more than 2cm. Natural quartzite and marble add fabrication complexity and material cost. Laminate is least expensive but carries the shortest expected life in a coastal Florida kitchen.
• Sink and plumbing coordination. An undermount sink requires a waterfall edge or at minimum a solid stone or engineered surface – laminate won’t support it cleanly. If the plumbing rough-in needs adjustment for a new sink position, that’s a separate line item in the written scope.
• Existing condition surprises. Mold remediation behind a wet-area cabinet, a rotted sub-floor section at the dishwasher, or out-of-code electrical inside the cabinet run are each a signed change order before work continues. We photograph what we find; you decide how to proceed.

Every Rowan project quote is a flat price with a written scope – not an estimate that grows after demo day. Call (754) 714-6540 to schedule a site visit and receive a written price for your kitchen in Pompano Beach. Estimates are free and the number you get is the number we build to.

FAQs – Cabinets & Countertops in Pompano Beach

How long does a cabinet and countertop replacement take in Pompano Beach?

A full cabinet and countertop replacement in a standard Pompano Beach kitchen – 15 to 25 linear feet of cabinets – runs 7 to 14 working days from demo to punch-list close, not counting the cabinet lead time before work starts. The cabinet order is typically 3 to 6 weeks depending on the line and finish; semi-custom lines like KraftMaid run closer to 4 weeks in current lead times. The quartz template happens after the cabinets are installed and level, then fabrication and return installation adds another 5 to 7 business days. We build that sequencing into the project schedule and give you a written timeline before demo day, so you know exactly how long the kitchen will be out of service. Call (754) 714-6540 if you need to plan around a specific date.

Is it worth replacing cabinets, or should we just reface them?

Refacing makes sense when the existing cabinet boxes are solid – no swelling, no delamination, plywood or solid-wood construction – and the layout works for how you use the kitchen. If the boxes are particleboard and have absorbed moisture (very common in Pompano Beach homes from the 2000s), refacing puts new doors on a failing substrate and you’ll be back in two to four years with the same problem. We inspect the box condition during the initial visit and tell you plainly what we find. If the boxes are sound, refacing at $3,200 to $7,500 is a legitimate option. If they’re not, a full replacement at the semi-custom tier is the better 15-year investment.

Which countertop material holds up best in a Pompano Beach kitchen?

Engineered quartz – Caesarstone and Silestone are two lines we source regularly – holds up better than natural marble in a coastal Florida kitchen because it’s non-porous and doesn’t require annual sealing. It resists the humidity swings that are a normal part of life in Pompano Beach and won’t stain from the citrus and salt that come with South Florida cooking. Quartzite (not to be confused with quartz) is a natural stone that performs well but does need periodic sealing. Granite is durable but porous; in a high-use kitchen it needs sealing every one to two years to stay stain-resistant. Laminate is the most affordable but has the shortest life at a sink edge in a humid environment. We’ll show you samples and give you the maintenance requirements in plain terms before you choose.

Do I need a permit for cabinet and countertop replacement in Pompano Beach?

Cosmetic cabinet and countertop replacement – same footprint, no wall moves, no plumbing relocation – does not typically require a building permit in Pompano Beach under current City of Pompano Beach building code. If the scope includes moving a drain or supply line, adding or relocating an electrical outlet inside the cabinet run, or modifying a soffit, a permit is required for those trades. We identify the permit requirement during the scope review and include any applicable permit fees as a named line item in the written quote – not a surprise cost after the contract is signed. If you’re unsure what your project requires, call (754) 714-6540 and we’ll walk through the scope with you.

Why Pompano Beach Homeowners Work with Rowan Construction Group

Pompano Beach’s housing stock runs from 1960s concrete-block ranches in areas like Collier City and Cresthaven to newer builds east of Federal Highway and the mid-2000s communities along the Sample Road corridor. The cabinet and countertop scope – and whether you need kitchen island installation – reads differently in each one: the older homes often have non-standard cabinet heights, out-of-plumb walls, and soffits that were built to hide the gap rather than to spec; the newer homes frequently have builder-grade particleboard cabinets that look intact but are absorbing humidity at the box joints. Grant Rowan has been in enough Pompano Beach kitchens since 2007 to know which problems to look for before the demo crew arrives.

The written price before any work starts is the practical difference on a project like this. Cabinet and countertop scopes are where cost overruns are most common in residential contracting because the demo phase regularly uncovers substrate damage, water intrusion, or electrical work that the original estimate didn’t account for. Rowan’s process – photograph, document, and price what we find before work continues – means those discoveries become a signed change order at a disclosed cost, not a contractor’s verbal estimate delivered on demo day when you have no leverage. The 365-Day Done Right Promise covers the finished work: if it’s not right, we make it right, backed by the terms of the Haven Standard in writing.

If your kitchen is the one project on the house that you’ve been putting off because you don’t trust the process, this is worth a phone call. The Rowan Construction Group home page covers all seven trades and the full terms of the Haven Standard if you want to read the framework before you contact us.

Key Takeaways

• Cabinet and countertop replacement in Pompano Beach runs $4,800 to $28,000 depending on cabinet tier, material, and kitchen size – countertop-only scopes start around $2,400.
• Pompano Beach’s coastal humidity makes plywood box construction significantly more durable than particleboard over a 10-plus year horizon.
• Engineered quartz (Caesarstone, Silestone) is the lowest-maintenance countertop surface for a South Florida kitchen; it doesn’t require annual sealing and resists staining from the humidity and kitchen use typical in this climate.
• The written price and written scope come before any demo work starts – that’s Clause 1 of the Haven Standard, not a talking point.
• No change in scope proceeds without a signed change order at a disclosed cost, which is the mechanism that keeps final costs within a few percent of the agreed number.
• The 365-Day Done Right Promise covers the finished work in writing – not a handshake, not an asterisk.
• Cabinet and countertop replacement typically requires no permit in Pompano Beach unless plumbing or electrical work is part of the scope.
