That promise is stamped on every project we complete in West Palm Beach, from a Kitchen Remodeling in West Palm Beach project in Flamingo Park to a Northwood Hills bathroom re-pipe.
Graham Stein leads our West Palm Beach work. He walks every job before the crew arrives, reviews the written price with you line by line, and stays reachable throughout the project. Background-checked, uniformed technicians handle the work. You’ll know exactly who is in your home, and they’ll ask before moving anything.

Styles & brands we work with
Remodeling Contractor in West Palm Beach
A Remodeling Contractor in West Palm Beach handles the structural and cosmetic work that turns an aging 1950s ranch or a 1920s Spanish Revival into a home suited for how your family actually lives. The job often starts with discovery: what’s behind the plaster, under the slab, or in the walls. Then it moves into design coordination, material ordering, and construction. In West Palm Beach, a whole-home remodel typically runs $45,000 to $130,000 depending on scope, and a kitchen remodel runs $14,000 to $45,000.
Cabinet and Countertop Coordination
Custom cabinetry from KraftMaid or Wellborn and countertops from Cambria or Caesarstone carry lead times that set the schedule. We order these long-lead items early and coordinate delivery so the crew isn’t standing idle. Your written price accounts for the actual slab and cabinet selections before we order, not after.
Bath and Walk-In Shower Work
A West Palm Beach bathroom remodel runs $9,000 to $28,000, with a walk-in shower installation at $4,500 to $12,000. We specify fixtures from Kohler and Moen, waterproof with Schluter systems, and leave the room clean enough for your kids to use the moment the crew leaves.
Licensed General Contractor in West Palm Beach
A Licensed General Contractor in West Palm Beach pulls permits, schedules inspections, and carries the responsibility for code compliance on work that touches structure, plumbing, electrical, or the building envelope. You need one when a project goes beyond paint and trim. In West Palm Beach, that often means working within the Miami-Dade High Velocity Hurricane Zone standards that govern anchors, glazing, and roofing, even on interior remodels where new openings or structural changes are involved. A home addition runs $45,000 to $130,000, and impact window installation runs $8,000 to $25,000.
Historic District Approvals
In El Cid and Flamingo Park, a licensed contractor also navigates the historic preservation board. Exterior changes, window replacements, and additions need approval before permits. We prepare the documentation, attend reviews when needed, and sequence the work so approvals don’t stall the schedule.
Structural and Corrosion Work
Salt air and humidity corrode hardware, anchors, and flashing faster here than inland. We specify corrosion-resistant fasteners and materials suited to the Intracoastal environment. When a 1920s Dade County pine frame shows rot or a coral rock foundation shows cracking, we bring in licensed engineers and fix the cause, not the symptom.
Trusted Brands We Service in West Palm Beach
We install and coordinate materials from brands you can research yourself: Caesarstone and Cambria countertops, Kohler and Moen fixtures, and Blanco sinks. Because we order these through local West Palm Beach supply houses, including for Cws repair in West Palm Beach, replacement parts and warranty claims move faster. Manufacturer warranties travel with the finished work, so you’re covered twice: once by the brand, and once by our 365-Day Done Right Promise for the installation itself.
Common General Contractor Problems We See in West Palm Beach Homes
- Cast-iron drain failure under the slab. Many 1950s Northwood Hills homes still have original cast-iron drain lines that corrode from the inside until they collapse. Homeowners discover it after repeated backups, and the fix usually means tunneling or re-piping before any cosmetic work can start.
- Dade County pine and coral rock surprises. Flamingo Park and El Cid homes hide framing and foundation conditions that only reveal themselves after walls open. The framing may not meet current hurricane tie-down standards, and the fix is structural before it is visual.
- Salt-air corrosion on exterior hardware. Standard fasteners and hardware near the Intracoastal fail within two seasons. We specified corrosion-resistant materials on every exterior job so the work holds up to the marine environment.
- Vague allowances that blow the budget. A homeowner picks a Cambria slab or a Grohe fixture that the original allowance didn’t cover, and the change order arrives after rough-in. Our written price fixes the specific material cost before we order, so selections don’t become surprises.

FAQs About General Contractor in West Palm Beach
Historic-district review adds 4 to 10 weeks to the front of a project and can restrict materials, window styles, rooflines, and exterior colors. You need board approval before pulling permits for most exterior work. We handle the submittal package and build the review period into your written schedule. Call (728) 203-3270 and we’ll walk you through what your specific block requires.
Custom cabinetry from KraftMaid or Wellborn runs 8 to 16 weeks, and Cambria or Caesarstone slabs can take 4 to 10 weeks after template. Specialty glass and imported tile can push further. We place those orders immediately after the design is approved and fix the price in writing before ordering. Call (728) 203-3270 for a sequence that fits your kitchen.
Tunneling lets the plumber access and replace the failed cast-iron drain lines without destroying your finished floors and baseboards. It costs less than a full floor excavation and keeps your family in the house during the work. We coordinate the tunneling with the re-pipe and then rebuild on top. Call (728) 203-3270 if you’re seeing repeated backups and want an assessment.
You need that knowledge for any interior remodel that changes load-bearing walls, creates new openings, or touches the building envelope. Miami-Dade HVHZ codes govern anchoring, glazing, and structural connections even inside the house. We apply those standards on every West Palm Beach job, whether it’s visible or not. Call (728) 203-3270 and we’ll tell you what your specific remodel triggers.
Expect $9,000 to $28,000 for a bathroom remodel in West Palm Beach, plus $3,500 to $8,500 for re-piping the affected lines if the cast iron has failed, and $8,000 to $25,000 for impact window replacement depending on the window count and sizes. The window cost is often separated from the bathroom budget because it may trigger historic-district review in El Cid or Flamingo Park. Call (728) 203-3270 for a written line-item price on your specific scope.
