AfterFast, Reliable Kitchen Remodeling Across Tamarac
A full kitchen remodel in Tamarac typically runs $14,000-$45,000, with most projects taking 6-10 weeks from permit to final walk. We dispatch crews to Tamarac from our South Florida office daily, and we know what opening a 1960s-era CBS home here actually turns up. Call (754) 714-6540 to schedule your free estimate - written, line-item, and delivered before anyone picks up a tool.
Tamarac’s homes were built fast and built uniform, nearly all of them concrete block construction from the mid-1960s through the late 1970s. That means aluminum wiring, 100-amp panels, and galvanized plumbing are not surprises to us - they’re what we plan for. Our Kitchen Remodeling team prices the allowances into the original scope, so when we open walls and find what we expect, the number you agreed to is the number you pay.
Why Rowan Construction Group Pompano Beach Is Tamarac’s Preferred Kitchen Remodeling Company
We’ve completed kitchen remodels across Tamarac’s Mainlands, Woodlands, and Westwood communities - enough of them that the city’s building department knows our permit packets and our inspection track record. Homeowners here leave reviews mentioning the same thing: we said what we’d find, we found it, and the price didn’t drift.
Our crews are background-checked, uniformed, and equipped with the photo documentation system that sends you dated images of every wall we open, every pipe we expose, and every change order we write. A live person answers our phones 24/7, and scheduling is coordinated from our Miami office with same-week availability for estimates in most Tamarac neighborhoods.
The 365-Day Done Right Promise backs every job - if it’s not done right, we make it right, with terms printed on every page, not an asterisk. And under Clause 1 of The Haven Standard, the written price comes before any work starts. Always.
Our Kitchen Remodeling Services in Tamarac
Full Kitchen Remodeling
A full kitchen remodel in Tamarac means more than new cabinets and counters. In a 1972 CBS home on a canal lot near Commercial Boulevard, opening the walls triggers current Florida Building Code compliance - Broward County wind-load calculations and Miami-Dade NOA product approvals for windows, doors, and any structural modification. We build this into the permit strategy from day one, not as a surprise in week three. Typical range: $14,000-$45,000.
Cabinet Installation & Refacing
KraftMaid and Wellborn cabinet lines are our standard spec in Tamarac - both carry the Miami-Dade NOA documentation that Broward permits require for impact-rated product approval. Cabinet installation runs $4,000-$13,000 depending on linear footage and whether we’re reconfiguring a galley layout common in the Woodlands section. Refacing existing boxes is viable when the carcasses are structurally sound, but we won’t recommend it if the substrate shows moisture damage from the roof leaks these flat-built-up homes hide.
Quartz & Granite Countertops
We source Cambria, Caesarstone, and Silestone quartz direct - no distributor markup inflated into your quote. A typical Tamarac kitchen island with waterfall edge in Caesarstone runs $2,000-$6,500 for countertop installation alone, with slab selection and templating done before demo starts so you’re never without a working surface longer than necessary. The high Everglades water table here accelerates subfloor moisture issues; we check with a moisture meter before setting stone on any cabinet base.
Backsplash & Tile Flooring
Backsplash installation in Tamarac runs $800-$2,500, with porcelain and ceramic meeting Florida Building Code wet-area requirements for the sink wall and any pot-filler location. For flooring, we see a lot of original 9-inch tile and sheet vinyl that can’t be left in place - the mastic often contains asbestos in this vintage housing stock, and we handle abatement through certified subcontractors with documentation you keep. Kitchen island installation, when you’re expanding the footprint, adds $3,000-$10,000 including electrical rough-in and structural footings if needed.

AfterTrusted Brands We Service in Tamarac
We maintain supplier relationships across fifty-plus vetted brands so your written quote carries honest numbers, not placeholder allowances that balloon later. For Tamarac kitchens, that means Kohler and Moen fixtures with the Florida-product-approval documentation already on file, KraftMaid and Wellborn cabinets spec’d to Miami-Dade NOA standards, and Cambria and Caesarstone countertops templated and fabricated locally for two-week turnaround instead of six. We don’t show you a catalog and hope - we stock local inventory, name the brand and model in the contract, and deliver the spec sheet with your permit packet.
Common Kitchen Remodeling Problems We See in Tamarac Homes
- Original aluminum wiring and 100-amp panels. In the Mainlands, we opened a galley kitchen in a 1972 CBS home and found original aluminum branch wiring, a 100-amp panel with no room for a dedicated range circuit, and galvanized supply lines feeding the sink wall. We wrote the allowances into the scope of work, priced the electrical rough-in and panel upgrade as a change order approved in writing before demo, and passed inspection sign-off on the first walk. The homeowner got a quartz island and KraftMaid cabinets on a draw schedule that never moved because every surprise was priced before we touched it.
- Slab plumbing and failed waterproofing behind original tile. The high Everglades water table means underslab drain lines and old lead or galvanized supply lines can’t be left as-is under current Florida Building Code. Hidden moisture rots the subfloor once cabinets come out - we probe with a moisture meter and scope the drain line before quoting, so the plumbing allowance is real.
- Low-slope built-up roofing and weekend-warrior re-covers. These hide leaks that show up as cabinet rot and mold after demo. A kitchen remodel balloons into roof and drywall work before a single cabinet is hung - we inspect the ceiling cavity with a borescope during our initial walk to catch it early.
- Canal-lot seawall failure accelerating foundation settlement. On properties backing Tamarac’s 55-plus miles of internal canals, failing 1960s-era seawalls allow soil subsidence that cracks slab-on-grade floors and throws cabinet runs out of level. We check with a laser level and note any structural referral in the written scope, not after tile is set.

FAQs - Kitchen Remodeling in Tamarac
Yes, almost certainly. Broward County requires permits for any electrical, plumbing, or mechanical work, and Tamarac’s building department enforces current Florida Building Code compliance on any permitted kitchen remodel - including Miami-Dade NOA product approvals for cabinets, counters, and fixtures in wind-borne debris regions. Even a “cosmetic” update with new cabinets and counters triggers inspection if plumbing or electrical is touched. We pull the permit, schedule inspections, and include all fees in your written quote. Call (754) 714-6540 for an exact scope review - estimates are free.
It doesn’t have to. Quotes move when contractors don’t price the surprises that 1960s-70s CBS homes reliably contain: aluminum wiring, 100-amp panels, galvanized plumbing, and hidden moisture damage. We build allowances into the original scope based on what we find during our borescope and moisture-meter inspection, then write any necessary change order before demo starts. Under The Haven Standard, no work proceeds on a change until the change order is signed - the discipline that has kept our projects within a few percent of the agreed price across 4,000-plus jobs. Call (754) 714-6540 to see how we scope it differently.
You need a licensed general contractor. Broward County requires a GC to pull the permit and coordinate inspections for any project involving multiple trades, and Tamarac’s building department will not issue a homeowner permit for electrical or plumbing work in these pre-Andrew homes that trigger full code compliance. We carry the license, coordinate the subs, and deliver one written price with one warranty - not five separate invoices and no one accountable. Call (754) 714-6540 to discuss your project.
Sometimes, but we verify first. The original cabinets in Tamarac’s 1960s-70s homes are often particleboard or early MDF that swells with the humidity and roof leaks these flat-built-up homes develop. We inspect the carcass structure, check for moisture damage with a meter, and test drawer glide mounting integrity before recommending refacing. If the boxes are sound, refacing with new doors, hardware, and veneer runs significantly less than full replacement. If not, we show you the photo evidence and price full KraftMaid or Wellborn replacement in the same written quote. Call (754) 714-6540 for an assessment.
Most full kitchen remodels in Tamarac take 6-10 weeks from permit issuance to final walk, with 2-3 weeks of that being permit review and inspection scheduling through Broward County. Small kitchen remodels or cabinet-and-counter replacements run 3-5 weeks. The timeline extends if we find conditions requiring structural or electrical upgrades - which is why we inspect thoroughly before quoting, price the allowances in writing, and never promise a speed we can’t document. Every visit includes a dated photo record, so you see progress without guessing. Call (754) 714-6540 to schedule your free estimate and get a real timeline for your specific home.
