CWS Construction in Lighthouse Point, FL | Rowan Construction Group Pompano Beach
We provide independent CWS cabinet, countertop, and Lighthouse Point Kitchen Remodeling service across Lighthouse Point, FL - not through any manufacturer-authorized dealer program, but with OEM-compatible parts and a written price before work starts. The one thing that makes our CWS work here different is that we build around Lighthouse Point’s actual conditions: the salt air off the canals, the 1960s CBS construction, and the seawall-permit inspections that can halt an interior remodel mid-project. Call (754) 714-6540 to schedule your free estimate.
Why Lighthouse Point Residents Choose Us for CWS Service
We’ve worked on CWS cabinets and countertops in Lighthouse Point long enough to know where the brand’s standard hardware fails and where its Coastal Collection finish actually earns its keep. Our crew is background-checked and uniformed; a live person answers calls 24/7. Every visit produces a documented photo record, included as standard.
Grant Rowan, our owner, keeps a worn copy of the Florida Building Code on his truck’s passenger seat and has read more of it than most people would find reasonable. That matters in Lighthouse Point, where Broward County’s HVHZ enforcement is strict and inspectors know the local seawall inventory by heart. We source CWS-spec and marine-grade equivalent parts, so we’re not waiting on dealer-authorized supply chains when a hinge corrodes through or a drawer slide seizes.
Under Clause 1 of the Haven Standard, the price is written before anyone picks up a tool. Under the 365-Day Done Right Promise, if it’s not done right, we make it right. We’ve delivered 4,000-plus projects since 2007, and our discipline of signed change orders has kept costs within a few percent of the agreed number every time. Measure twice, say it once, show your work.
Common CWS Construction Problems We Solve in Lighthouse Point

- Salt-air corrosion of CWS cabinet hinges and drawer slides. Even “stainless” hardware pits within a few years on canal-front properties in Lighthouse Point. The salt air here is relentless, and standard CWS hardware wasn’t spec’d for continuous marine exposure. We replace with marine-grade stainless or soft-close equivalents that survive the environment.
- Finish delamination on CWS thermofoil and painted doors. Original 1960s CBS homes in Lighthouse Point often have kitchens sitting directly on slab with no vapor break. Humidity migrates up through the block, and the adhesive behind thermofoil or paint film eventually lets go. We flag this during the free estimate and recommend the CWS Coastal Collection or all-plywood alternatives when the substrate is compromised.
- Particleboard-core cabinet boxes swelling from water intrusion. Many Lighthouse Point homes have had at least one water event tied to a roof leak, failed ice-maker line, or seawall breach. Once particleboard swells, it doesn’t return to dimension. We replace with CWS all-plywood RTA boxes or full refacing when the damage is localized.
- Countertop seam and edge failures on uneven block walls. CWS quartz and granite tops installed over the original 1960s block construction often telegraph cracks once the wall shifts. That shift frequently follows a HVHZ re-roof or impact-window installation that changes the load path. We re-flatten the wall surface and reset the tops on proper support.
- Permit holds triggered by failing seawalls during interior remodels. Broward County inspectors maintain a flagged list of aging 1960s poured-concrete seawalls. Pull a permit for a CWS kitchen remodel on a canal-front lot, and the inspector may red-tag the project until the seawall is addressed. We’ve navigated this sequence multiple times and can coordinate the repair scope so the interior work resumes without restarting from zero.
Before
AfterCWS Service in Lighthouse Point: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Lighthouse Point was purpose-built in the late 1950s and 1960s as a planned canal community, and today nearly every one of its roughly 3,800 single-family lots is either directly on a navigable canal or within steps of one. This means construction here - even interior renovations - almost always intersects with seawall condition, flood-zone elevation requirements, and marine-grade material specifications in a way that would not apply to an inland Broward city like Margate or Tamarac.
For CWS owners specifically, this canal-grid reality shows up in three ways. First, the salt-air exposure accelerates corrosion of standard cabinet hardware to a degree we simply don’t see three miles west. Second, the original CBS construction, built to looser codes, often lacks the vapor barriers and wall flatness that modern cabinet and countertop installation assumes. Third, and most distinctively, Broward County inspectors routinely flag failing 1960s poured-concrete seawalls when homeowners pull permits for unrelated interior work - so a Lighthouse Point Bathroom Remodeling or kitchen project can be stopped mid-demo until the seawall is repaired or replaced. That interaction between a canal-wall permit and a cabinet/countertop scope is effectively absent in inland Broward cities. On a canal-front home off Lighthouse Drive, our crew opened a CWS kitchen only to find the original 1960s poured-concrete seawall was on the county’s flagged list, so the remodel paused while the wall was repaired. Once we were back inside, we replaced swollen CWS particleboard base cabinets with all-plywood boxes and marine-grade stainless hardware, reset the CWS quartz tops on a re-flattened block wall, and the kitchen finally held its seams through the next hurricane season.
CWS Models & Products We Service in Lighthouse Point

We work with the full CWS product range sold through South Florida building-supply channels, including the CWS sales & service lines that move through independent distribution. Our crew handles the CWS Ready-to-Assemble (RTA) all-plywood cabinet line, the CWS Vero and Vero Matte series, and the CWS Coastal Collection with its marine-grade finish option marketed specifically for humid, salt-air climates. For countertops, we template, fabricate, and install from the CWS quartz and granite program using local stone yards.
Because we are independent - not manufacturer-authorized - we can source true-to-spec CWS components, flag where the Coastal Collection finish or marine-grade hardware upgrade adds real value, and tell a homeowner plainly when a repair is the smarter call versus full replacement. We stock common CWS hinge and slide equivalents locally for fast Lighthouse Point turnaround, and we keep marine-grade stainless hardware on hand for canal-front properties where the original grade won’t survive.

FAQs - CWS Construction in Lighthouse Point
Yes. We are an independent CWS service provider, not a manufacturer-authorized dealer. We source OEM-compatible and marine-grade equivalent parts, install to CWS spec, and warranty our workmanship under the 365-Day Done Right Promise. Authorization is not required for installation or repair. Call (754) 714-6540 for a free estimate.
Salt-air corrosion attacks standard cabinet hardware even when labeled “stainless,” and the persistent humidity in unconditioned or under-ventilated 1960s CBS kitchens accelerates finish delamination. The CWS Coastal Collection finish and marine-grade hardware upgrades are designed specifically for this environment. Call (754) 714-6540 and we’ll assess whether your existing cabinets can be salvaged with upgraded components.
Not directly, but Broward County inspectors may flag a failing 1960s poured-concrete seawall when they review permits for interior work. If your lot is on the county’s flagged list, the remodel pauses until the seawall is repaired or replaced. We check permit history during the estimate phase and coordinate the sequence so interior work resumes efficiently. Call (754) 714-6540 to discuss your specific property.
The countertops themselves do not, but the wall they sit on must be stable under High Velocity Hurricane Zone requirements. HVHZ re-roofs and impact-window installations can shift 1960s block walls enough to crack seams. We re-flatten and reinforce the substrate before setting CWS quartz or granite tops. Call (754) 714-6540 for an exact quote - estimates are free.
We repair when the boxes and finish are sound and only the hardware or a single door is failing. We recommend replacement when cabinet boxes are swollen from water intrusion, moldy, or the finish is delaminating across multiple doors. The salt-air environment and common water events in canal-front Lighthouse Point homes often push the decision toward replacement with all-plywood boxes and marine-grade hardware. Call (754) 714-6540 for a free assessment.
