Small & Partial Kitchen Remodels in Pompano Beach, FL
A small or partial kitchen remodel in Pompano Beach typically runs between $4,500 and $22,000, depending on which components you’re updating and the materials you choose. Most projects are scoped, priced, and completed without touching the plumbing rough-in or the load-bearing walls – which is exactly what keeps the number manageable. At Rowan Construction Group Pompano Beach, every kitchen remodeling project starts with a written price and a signed scope before anyone opens a cabinet door.
Not every kitchen needs a full gut. In Pompano Beach, we see a lot of 1980s and 1990s kitchens where the bones are solid – the cabinet boxes are square, the layout works – but the surfaces read as dated, worn, or both. A targeted remodel addresses what’s actually failing: the laminate countertops that are swelling near the sink, the drawer fronts that won’t close, the fluorescent strip light that flickers. Replacing those specific elements, done in the right sequence with the right materials, adds real function and current aesthetics without the cost or the disruption of moving walls.
If you want to understand the full scope of what kitchen renovation can look like, our Kitchen Remodeling in Pompano Beach page walks through every service level we offer. For a focused update – countertops, cabinet doors, a backsplash, a fixture swap – this page is where to start. Call (754) 714-6540 and a live person will pick up, any hour.
When You Need Small & Partial Kitchen Remodels
- Your countertops are failing but the cabinets are fine. Laminate that’s delaminating near the sink, or tile grout that’s cracked and stained through, are cosmetic problems with a targeted fix. Swapping to a Caesarstone quartz surface or a similar engineered stone resolves the issue without touching the cabinet boxes underneath.
- The cabinet doors look rough but the boxes are solid. In Pompano Beach’s humidity, paint peels and thermofoil lifts – especially on doors facing west-exposure windows. Refacing with new door fronts and matching drawer fronts gives the kitchen a current look at roughly 40 to 60 percent of full cabinet replacement cost.
- One or two appliances are outdated and the surrounding build-out doesn’t fit the new dimensions. A refrigerator upgrade from a 30-inch to a 36-inch model, or a range hood installation that didn’t exist before, often requires a small amount of carpentry and finish work. That’s a partial remodel, not a full one.
- The sink and faucet are corroded or low-pressure and you want the work done properly. A Kohler undermount sink swap paired with a new faucet requires countertop cutout work and proper plumbing connection – it’s a half-day job for a qualified crew, not a DIY afternoon. We price this as a discrete scope and provide a written warranty on both the fixture and the workmanship.
- The lighting is inadequate or the electrical layout no longer matches how the kitchen is used. Under-cabinet lighting, a new pendant drop over an island, or replacing a fluorescent surface mount with recessed cans are all partial-scope electrical items that change how the kitchen feels without requiring a full remodel permit in most cases. We pull the appropriate permit when one is required – Broward County’s building department is specific about what triggers a permit, and we follow that line exactly.
- The backsplash is dated and the grout has never sealed properly. South Florida’s cooking humidity and the salt air that comes with being a few blocks from the Intracoastal make a failed backsplash worse than it would be inland. Retiling with a properly set and sealed backsplash – one that uses the right membrane on the wall substrate – is a standalone scope we complete in one to two days.
Our Small & Partial Kitchen Remodels Process

- Written scope and flat price before any work starts. Under Clause 1 of the Haven Standard, the price is in writing before anyone starts. We measure the space, photograph the existing conditions – cabinet condition, countertop substrate, fixture connections, tile substrate – and produce a written quote with a flat number and a line-item scope. You receive that document before signing anything. There is no “call for a quote” step at Rowan.
- Material selection with honest lead times. We carry sourcing relationships with more than fifty vetted brands. For countertops, that means options from Caesarstone and Silestone – both engineered quartz lines with strong stain and heat resistance, which matters in a kitchen that gets daily use. We tell you the actual fabrication and delivery lead time for each slab so your project schedule is accurate, not optimistic.
- Signed change order before any scope deviation. If we open a wall to run a new circuit and find that the existing wiring doesn’t meet current code – which happens in pre-2000 Pompano Beach construction more often than it should – we stop, document what we found with photographs, and present a written change order before proceeding. No work on the deviation starts until you sign. That’s not a courtesy; it’s the administrative discipline that has kept Rowan’s projects within a few percent of the agreed price across more than 4,000 jobs since 2007.
- Sequenced installation that protects finished work. In a partial remodel, sequencing matters more than in a full gut, because some surfaces are staying. We tape and protect existing flooring, painted surfaces, and appliances before demo begins. Countertop installation follows any electrical rough-in. Backsplash tile sets after countertops are in, so the tile base elevation is accurate. Cabinet hardware installs last. Each step is photographed and logged.
- Documented photo record at closeout. Every Rowan visit ends with a documented photo record delivered to the customer – not an upgrade, standard on every project. At closeout, you receive photographs of the finished installation alongside photographs of what existed before. That record includes any substrate conditions we found, how they were addressed, and what materials were installed. It’s evidence, not a marketing piece.
- 365-Day Done Right Promise. The warranty isn’t a handshake. The 365-Day Done Right Promise is printed in the project documentation: if it’s not done right, Rowan makes it right. Grant Rowan has run this operation since 2007 and the promise means what it says. If a tile lifts, a drawer front shifts, or a fixture connection shows a slow leak within the warranty period, we return and correct it.

AfterSmall & Partial Kitchen Remodels Pricing in Pompano Beach
Partial remodel pricing in Pompano Beach varies most by material choice and whether the work touches electrical or plumbing – two trades that require licensed sub-contractors and, sometimes, permits. The ranges below reflect the Pompano Beach market as we currently see it, including local material delivery costs and Broward County permit fees where applicable.
| Scope | Typical Range (Pompano Beach) | Key Variables |
|---|---|---|
| Countertop replacement only (up to 30 linear ft) | $2,800 – $7,500 | Material choice (laminate vs. quartz vs. natural stone), edge profile, cutout count |
| Cabinet door and drawer front refacing | $3,500 – $9,000 | Number of doors, box count, wood species or thermofoil finish |
| Backsplash installation (standard tile) | $900 – $2,800 | Tile material, linear footage, substrate condition |
| Sink and faucet replacement (undermount, with countertop cutout) | $750 – $2,200 | Fixture grade (e.g., Kohler vs. builder-grade), countertop material already in place |
| Under-cabinet and recessed lighting | $1,200 – $4,500 | Circuit availability, number of fixtures, permit requirement |
| Combined countertop + backsplash + fixtures | $6,000 – $14,000 | Material grade, existing substrate condition, plumbing complexity |
| Full partial remodel (counters, cabinets, tile, lighting, fixtures) | $12,000 – $22,000 | Kitchen size, appliance coordination, permit scope |
A few things move these numbers in Pompano Beach specifically. Homes built in the 1980s near the McNab Road corridor and the older neighborhoods around Atlantic Boulevard often have original cast-iron drain lines that need inspection before a sink swap – that adds a plumber’s time to the scope. Properties east of US-1, where salt air corrosion is more aggressive, sometimes need additional substrate prep on backsplash, tile & flooring walls where moisture has worked behind existing tile. We photograph both conditions during the walkthrough and price for what we actually see, not what the average project looks like.

FAQs – Small & Partial Kitchen Remodels

How much does a small kitchen remodel cost in Pompano Beach?
A small kitchen remodel in Pompano Beach typically costs between $4,500 and $14,000, depending on what you’re changing. A countertop-only swap with new hardware and a backsplash sits at the lower end – around $5,000 to $8,000 for a mid-range material like Silestone quartz. Adding cabinet installation & refacing and a sink fixture swap pushes the number toward $10,000 to $14,000. What affects the price most is whether the work touches electrical or plumbing, which adds licensed trade costs and sometimes a Broward County permit fee. Call (754) 714-6540 and we’ll schedule a written estimate at no charge – you’ll have a flat number in hand before any decision.
Can you remodel just the countertops and leave the cabinets?
Yes, countertop-only replacement is a common and well-defined scope. We remove the existing surface, inspect and repair the cabinet substrate (the decking the cabinets & countertops sit on), and install the new material – typically an engineered quartz like Caesarstone or a natural stone slab. The cabinet boxes and doors stay entirely undisturbed. The job usually takes one day for templating and one day for installation, with a fabrication lead time in between. We provide a written warranty on both the installation and the material transition points.
Do small kitchen remodels in Pompano Beach require a permit?
It depends on the scope. Cosmetic work – countertops, cabinet fronts, backsplash tile – generally does not require a permit in Broward County. Electrical work (adding circuits, moving outlets, installing a new range hood vent through an exterior wall) and plumbing work (relocating a drain or supply line) typically do require a permit, and we pull it before any of that work starts. We tell you upfront which elements of your scope trigger a permit requirement and what that adds to the timeline. No surprises at the inspection stage.
How long does a partial kitchen remodel take in Pompano Beach?
Most partial kitchen remodels in Pompano Beach run between three and ten business days of active work, not counting material lead times. A countertop and backsplash scope takes roughly four to six days: one day for countertop demo and substrate prep, a fabrication wait of five to eight business days (during which tile work can sometimes proceed), one day for countertop installation, and one to two days for backsplash tile and grouting. A larger scope combining cabinets, counters, lighting, and fixtures runs eight to fourteen business days of on-site work. We build the schedule into the written scope so you know the sequence before the crew arrives.
Why Pompano Beach Homeowners Choose Rowan for Partial Kitchen Work
A partial remodel is, in some ways, harder to execute cleanly than a full gut. When everything is staying except the countertops, the crew has to protect what’s there, work in a tighter sequence, and make sure the new elements match the existing ones in height, finish, and proportion. We’ve been doing this work since 2007 across more than 4,000 projects, and the administrative side of the job – the written scope, the signed change orders, the documented photo record – exists because Grant Rowan built that system from the beginning. It wasn’t added later because someone asked for it.
Pompano Beach has its own set of conditions that a contractor doing general work across South Florida doesn’t always account for. The city’s older inventory – particularly the ranch-style homes in areas like Cypress Isles and the mid-century blocks near Pompano Community Park – often has original substrate behind the tile that needs evaluation before anything new goes down. The Intracoastal-adjacent properties deal with higher ambient moisture and corrosion rates that affect fixture longevity and grout performance. We know these conditions because we work here regularly, and we price for them accurately.
The home page gives a broader view of the seven trades Rowan covers and how the Haven Standard applies across all of them. For kitchen work specifically, this is the crew and the system.
