AfterFast, Reliable Kitchen Remodeling Across Lauderdale Lakes
A full kitchen remodel in Lauderdale Lakes typically runs $14,000-$45,000, with most projects finishing within a few percent of the written quote once we account for what those 1960s-70s CBS walls actually contain. We’re Rowan Construction Group, and our crews work Lauderdale Lakes regularly from our Miami (South FL) office, dispatching to neighborhoods from the Oriole Estates area up through the central condominium corridors near State Road 7. Call (754) 714-6540 to schedule your free estimate.
Why Rowan Construction Group Pompano Beach Is Lauderdale Lakes’s Preferred Kitchen Remodeling Company
We’ve delivered kitchen remodels across Broward County since 2007, and Lauderdale Lakes has become one of our most frequent destinations, not because it’s convenient, but because the city’s aging housing stock demands contractors who understand what opens up when you pull the first cabinet. Our 4,000-plus project history includes dozens of Lauderdale Lakes kitchens, and our customers there leave reviews citing the same thing: the photo record showed them exactly what we found, and the change order was priced and signed before we fixed it.
Our response time to Lauderdale Lakes is same-week scheduling for estimates, with crews already running material through the city on other jobs. That matters when you’re living with a demo’d kitchen and the permit inspector wants the rough-in signed off before close of business Friday. We know the Broward County permitting office’s requirements, the Florida Building Code amendments that apply to pre-1975 construction, and the specific rebar and moisture issues that Lauderdale Lakes’s flat, low-lying geography creates in CBS walls.
Every technician is background-checked and uniformed. A live person answers our phones 24/7. And under Clause 1 of The Haven Standard, your written price arrives before any work starts - no exceptions, no “call for a quote.”
Our Kitchen Remodeling Services in Lauderdale Lakes
Full Kitchen Remodeling
A full kitchen remodel in Lauderdale Lakes means working within CBS (concrete block structure) walls that have absorbed decades of Broward County humidity. We strip to the block, inspect the sink-wall rebar and rough-in plumbing, then rebuild with allowances already written into your contract for the surprises we know to expect. Our Kitchen Remodeling team handles every trade in-house, from electrical panel upgrades to final tile, so the draw schedule stays predictable.
Kitchen Design & Layout
Lauderdale Lakes kitchens are often compact, especially in the city’s garden apartment and small condominium stock. We measure twice - once for the existing footprint, once for the code-required clearances a 2024 permit demands. Our design process includes a documented photo record of the existing conditions, a written scope with material specs from our fifty-plus vetted brands, and a fixed price before demolition starts.
Cabinets & Countertops
We source KraftMaid and Wellborn cabinets, Cambria and Caesarstone countertops, pricing them into your written quote at cost-plus rather than inflating for mystery. In Lauderdale Lakes, cabinet installation often requires re-framing after we discover carbonated block or oxidized rebar behind the old run. That work is allowance-backed and change-ordered in writing before we hang the first box.
Backsplash, Tile & Flooring
Backsplash installation in Lauderdale Lakes runs $800-$2,500, but the substrate behind old tile is where the money hides. We photograph the existing mortar bed and wall condition, then price any cement board or block repair separately. Flooring transitions in these older units frequently reveal uneven slabs from decades of minor settlement - we level and document, never assume.
Kitchen Island Installation
Island installation in Lauderdale Lakes condos and garden apartments demands verification of the slab’s load capacity and the location of underground utilities. The city’s flat terrain and high seasonal water table complicate any penetration of the slab. We pull permits, inspect, and price the structural work in writing.

Common Kitchen Remodeling Problems We See in Lauderdale Lakes Homes
- Galvanized plumbing weeping rust at the rough-in. Original 1960s-70s supply lines behind Lauderdale Lakes kitchen cabinets corrode from the inside. We find this on nearly every demo, price the copper replacement from contract allowances, and get written approval before we touch the water main.
- 100-amp panels that won’t pass modern kitchen load requirements. A Lauderdale Lakes permit for full kitchen remodeling triggers electrical inspection. If your panel is original, the upgrade isn’t optional. We price it upfront, not as a mid-job surprise.
- Carbonated block and oxidized rebar behind the sink wall. Decades of humidity and a water table that rises near grade during wet season turn CBS walls into sponge-like substrates that won’t support new cabinets or countertops without rebuilding.
- Out-of-area contractors who miss the roof-layer problem. Many Lauderdale Lakes garden apartments carry two or three roof layers, exceeding Florida Building Code limits. Any kitchen project that touches structure can trigger a roofing permit review, and contractors unfamiliar with the city’s inspection history get caught flat.

FAQs - Kitchen Remodeling in Lauderdale Lakes
Because the first quote probably didn’t price the galvanized-to-copper plumbing change, the 100-amp panel upgrade, or the sink-wall rebar rebuild that a Lauderdale Lakes permit triggers once your CBS walls open. Out-of-area contractors routinely miss these items, then hand you a mid-job change order. We inspect first, write allowances into the contract, and price any surprise in writing before we touch it. Call (754) 714-6540 for an exact quote - estimates are free.
Yes, if the work touches plumbing, electrical, or structure - which it almost always does in Lauderdale Lakes’s 1960s-70s stock. Broward County requires permits for any kitchen remodel involving fixture relocation, panel work, or wall modification. We pull permits as standard, include the inspection schedule in your written scope, and never start demo until the permit is posted. Call (754) 714-6540 to confirm what your specific project requires.
Carbonated concrete block, oxidized rebar reduced to pencil thickness, and galvanized supply lines weeping rust at the rough-in. We were midway through a full kitchen remodel in a two-story CBS garden apartment on NW 31st Avenue when the demolition of the old cabinet run exposed exactly this combination. Our tech stopped, photographed everything, wrote a change order priced against the contract allowances, and had it approved in writing before we framed anything back - then rebuilt that wall so the new KraftMaid run had something solid to hang on. Call (754) 714-6540 and we’ll show you what to expect in your specific unit.
They don’t directly, until they do. Many Lauderdale Lakes garden apartments carry two or three roof layers, exceeding the Florida Building Code’s two-layer maximum. If your kitchen remodel touches structural walls or requires any roofing penetration for venting, the permit inspector may flag the roof assembly and require a full tear-off before closing your kitchen permit. We check roof-layer history during our initial inspection and price the contingency if it’s relevant. Call (754) 714-6540 for a review of your building’s permit record.
We design to the existing conditions we can see and probe, build allowances for what we know hides in Lauderdale Lakes CBS walls, and require signed approval before any change proceeds. The design process includes a documented photo record of your current kitchen, written material specs, and a fixed scope. Change orders happen when we find conditions no one could reasonably predict - not because we guessed wrong in the design phase. Call (754) 714-6540 to start with a measured, photographed, and written plan.
