PGT Kitchen Remodeling: The Pompano Beach Owner’s Guide
PGT kitchen remodeling in Pompano Beach typically runs $14,000-$45,000 for a full renovation, with cabinet installation, countertop replacement, and island reconfiguration available as standalone services. We stock PGT-compatible components and can usually begin material procurement within 48 hours of a signed agreement. Most Pompano Beach homeowners discover their PGT kitchen needs attention when cabinet hinges sag in the humidity, drawer glides stick from salt-air corrosion, or the original particleboard boxes swell after years of the subtropical moisture that seeps through even well-sealed homes near the Intracoastal.
Which PGT Models This Applies To
PGT’s kitchen product lines include the Heritage Series, Signature Series, and Builder’s Choice collections, each with distinct box construction and hardware mounting patterns. The Heritage Series uses ¾-inch plywood boxes with soft-close Blum hinges; Signature upgrades to full-extension dovetail drawers; Builder’s Choice employs a hybrid MDF-core construction that performs adequately inland but shows stress faster within three miles of the Pompano Beach coastline. To identify your series, check the interior stamp on the cabinet wall or the hinge cup bore pattern: Heritage uses a 35mm cup with three adjustment screws, Signature a 35mm cup with two screws plus a clip-on mounting plate. We source OEM PGT replacement doors and drawer fronts where the finish match matters, but for hardware and internal components we typically specify Blum, Salice, or Rev-A-Shelf equivalents that meet or exceed PGT’s original spec at lower lead time. One compatibility gotcha: PGT’s 2016-2019 Builder’s Choice cabinets used a proprietary 5mm shelf pin spacing that standard 32mm-system replacement parts will not fit without re-drilling.
Signs Your PGT Kitchen Remodeling Is Failing

- Doors hang crooked or won’t stay closed. The Blum hinge cups loosen in the humid Pompano Beach air, or the MDF door substrate swells and shifts the bore alignment. We see this most in kitchens west of Dixie Highway where afternoon heat builds without coastal breeze.
- Drawers bind, jump their tracks, or require two hands to open. The roller glides corrode from salt-laden humidity, or the particleboard drawer box sides delaminate and expand. Full-extension soft-close glides are the fix, not another round of WD-40.
- Shelf pins pull out or shelves tilt. This happens when the original 5mm pin holes wallow out in the composite board, especially under the weight of countertop appliances. A proper fix involves hardwood or metal pin sleeves, not larger pins hammered in.
- Water stains or swelling at the sink base cabinet. PGT’s standard sink base uses a melamine-coated particleboard floor that fails when the sink seal degrades. In Pompano Beach’s hard water environment, that degradation accelerates.
- Finish peeling or discoloring at door edges. Thermofoil wraps lift from the MDF core in heat and humidity; painted finishes chalk from UV exposure through east-facing windows. Neither repairs well, but replacement doors in a marine-grade finish solve it.

The range depends on box construction (plywood vs. MDF), door style and finish grade, hardware specification, and whether we are working within existing footprints or reconfiguring layouts. Every quote is a flat written price with line-item breakdown: materials, labor, demolition, disposal, and permit fees if the scope triggers them. Under Clause 1 of The Haven Standard, that written price is delivered before any work starts. No change proceeds without a signed change order, which is why our projects finish within a few percent of the number you agreed to. The 365-Day Done Right Promise covers the installation; manufacturer warranties cover the PGT or equivalent components.
DIY or Call Us?

What you can safely check: confirm the hinge model number, measure drawer box dimensions, and photograph the shelf pin spacing before ordering anything. What goes wrong fast: drilling new hinge bores without a 35mm Forstner jig, forcing drawer glides into swollen boxes, or assuming standard 32mm spacing on those 2016-2019 Builder’s Choice cabinets. Cabinet work involves no high-tension danger, but a misaligned door cascade - one door off by 1/16 inch throws the adjacent door, then the whole run - consumes weekends and still ends with a service call. We carry common PGT-compatible hardware on our trucks, and Grant Rowan sequences kitchen jobs so the cabinet crew, countertop templater, and electrician don’t sit idle waiting on each other. If you’re staring at a cabinet that won’t close straight, call (754) 714-6540 and we’ll schedule a free estimate with a written price.
FAQs
Expect 15-20 years for plywood-box Heritage and Signature series with proper ventilation; Builder’s Choice MDF-core units often show swelling or hinge failure in 8-12 years within a mile of the coast. The salt-air humidity is the variable you cannot control, but exhaust fans and periodic hardware adjustment extend service life. Call (754) 714-6540 for an exact quote on replacement or refacing - estimates are free.
Yes, if the boxes are structurally sound: new doors, drawer fronts, and hardware on existing plywood boxes is a standard refacing scope that runs roughly half the cost of full replacement. MDF-core boxes that have swollen or delaminated are not candidates - the substrate will continue to degrade behind new facings. We assess box condition during the estimate and tell you straight which path makes sense. Call (754) 714-6540 for a free evaluation.
A full replacement in Pompano Beach typically runs 4-7 weeks from demolition to final walkthrough, with cabinet lead time (3-5 weeks for PGT Heritage custom finishes) driving the schedule more than field labor. Refacing or hardware-only jobs finish in 3-5 days. We sequence trades tightly so nothing sits idle - that’s the discipline Grant learned watching crews rebuild along Coldwater Canyon and applied here for fifteen-plus years. Call (754) 714-6540 to review your timeline.
We stock Blum, Salice, and Rev-A-Shelf hardware that fits PGT specifications, plus common door and drawer front sizes in standard finishes. Custom PGT Heritage colors or Signature specialty glazes ship from the factory; we order those once the written quote is approved, not before. Our documented photo record on every visit includes cabinet condition shots, so you see what we found before any procurement begins. Call (754) 714-6540 to schedule.
