Why Elmstead Remodeling West Palm Beach Is Lake Park’s Preferred Kitchen Remodeling Company
We know Lake Park’s older housing stock because we’ve worked inside it for years. Many of the homes here were built between the 1940s and 1970s as concrete-block structures with carports, flat or low-pitched roofs, and interior layouts never designed for a modern kitchen. A kitchen remodel in Lake Park is not a cosmetic refresh. It usually means relocating plumbing through block walls, addressing framing that has shifted over seven decades, and upgrading electrical panels that were installed before anyone ever owned a microwave.
Families in Placid Bay and along 10th Street hire us for the written price first and the 365-Day Done Right Promise second. If something is not done right after the job is complete, we make it right. That promise is stamped on every project. Graham Stein, who leads our team, reviews every Lake Park job before the final walkthrough, so the person accountable for the work is a phone call away, not buried in a corporate voicemail tree.

Kitchen Cabinet Refacing Contractors in Lake Park
Kitchen cabinet refacing contractors in Lake Park do more than swap doors and veneers. They replace hinges, drawer slides, and edge banding, and in this town, that hardware selection matters more than almost anywhere else in Palm Beach County. Standard zinc-plated hardware seizes and pits within two years near the salt air. We specify stainless or marine-grade hardware on every refacing job here, particularly in homes east of US-1 where the Atlantic breeze moves straight through.
Cabinet refacing in Lake Park runs $4,000 – $13,000 depending on the number of openings, the door style, and whether we’re pulling the boxes and reinforcing them or working with what’s already there. For a 10-opening galley kitchen in a 1960s duplex, expect the lower end of that range. For a larger L-shaped kitchen with pull-out trays and soft-close upgrades, expect the higher end.
When Refacing Is the Right Call
If the cabinet boxes are sound and the layout works for your family, refacing gives you a new kitchen front without tearing out the walls. We see many Lake Park duplexes where the original boxes are still structurally fine but the doors have soaked in decades of humidity and salt. Refacing those boxes with a new door and finish is faster and far less expensive than a full replacement, and the house stays livable while we work.
Materials We Use for Coastal Refacing
We order doors and drawer fronts from KraftMaid and Wellborn, so you can research the exact model and warranty before we ever cut a panel. The hardware is marine-grade, the finishes are factory-applied, and the boxes get reinforced with corner-block bracing where the originals have sagged. For homes with original jalousie windows in the kitchen, refacing is often the first step before an impact-glass upgrade because the cabinets usually abut the window opening.
Kitchen Remodeling Contractor in Lake Park
A kitchen remodeling contractor in Lake Park has to address what salt air does to a space that was built before hurricane codes existed. A full remodel here is a structural project: moving plumbing through concrete block, replacing non-impact windows with impact-rated glass, and re-spacing rough-ins after corrosion repair. In Placid Bay, where many homes still have original terrazzo floors and jalousie windows, the remodel has to respect the mid-century character while bringing the shell up to current wind-mitigation standards.
Full kitchen remodeling in Lake Park runs $14,000 – $45,000. What drives the spread is window replacement, wall removal, and the coastal-spec materials we describe below. A small kitchen remodel runs $9,000 – $20,000 and usually means new cabinets, countertops, and fixtures without moving plumbing. You should know both ranges before you ever sign anything.
What a Full Remodel Includes Here
We handle the demolition with drop cloths laid end to end and shoe covers on inside the house. Cabinets, countertops, backsplash, tile and flooring, island installation, and the design and layout work that happens before a single wall opens. Our countertop partners include Cambria and Silestone for quartz, and we install Caesarstone and granite from local fabricators as well. Fixtures come from Kohler, Moen, and Grohe, and every finish is specified for coastal humidity.
How We Sequence a Lake Park Kitchen
The order matters here: structure first, then rough-in, then finishes. On a 1950s concrete-block duplex just off 10th Street in Placid Bay, our crew opened a kitchen wall to relocate a sink and found the original jalousie window frame so corroded by salt air that the rough-in for the new plumbing had to be re-spaced after we replaced the entire opening with an impact-rated casement. We used marine-grade stainless hinges and hot-dip galvanized anchors, then matched the existing terrazzo with epoxy-grout repair before inspection sign-off.
Trusted Brands We Service in Lake Park
We stock replacement hardware and touch-up materials for the brands Lake Park homeowners most often have in their kitchens. Our installers work with KraftMaid and Wellborn cabinetry, Cambria and Silestone countertops, and Kohler, Moen, and Grohe fixtures. When a call comes in from a home off Park Avenue with a failed cabinet hinge, we bring the marine-grade replacement with us on the first visit. We also keep Schluter waterproofing and James Hardie products on hand for projects where the kitchen shares a wall with an exterior surface. If you’re comparing manufacturers, you can read every warranty before we order, because the warranty travels with the finished project, not with us.

AfterCommon Kitchen Remodeling Problems We See in Lake Park Homes
- Zinc-plated cabinet hinges and drawer slides that seize within 24 months. Salt air accelerates corrosion on standard hardware. We replace it with stainless or marine-grade hardware from the start, so the doors open smoothly and the slides never pit.
- Rust stains bleeding through backsplash grout near the sink. Standard drywall screws behind tile rust and stain grout in this humidity. We specify coated or stainless fasteners and cement board behind every backsplash, then seal the joints.
- Non-impact windows failing wind-mitigation inspection. Any kitchen remodel that touches an opening triggers the current code. We replace old jalousie windows with impact-rated casements or fixed glass before the inspection, which keeps the punch list clean.
- Terrazzo floors cracking from decades of slab settlement. Many Lake Park homes still have original terrazzo. We match the aggregate and color, repair with epoxy grout, and protect the floor during the entire remodel with drop cloths and edge protection.
Pricing for Kitchen Remodeling in Lake Park, FL
Kitchen remodeling in Lake Park runs from $9,000 for a small remodel to $45,000 for a full coastal-spec renovation. The range is real, and the difference is driven by which materials survive here. Here is the line-item breakdown:
| Service | Lake Park Price Range |
|---|---|
| Kitchen Remodel | $14,000 – $45,000 |
| Small Kitchen Remodel | $9,000 – $20,000 |
| Cabinet Installation | $4,000 – $13,000 |

The coastal-spec upgrade costs more at time of purchase, and it is worth every dollar. A kitchen built with zinc hardware and standard drywall screws will need hardware replacement and grout repair inside a decade, sometimes inside five years. That’s two costs for one job. We write the price before any work starts, on every project, with no change orders unless you change the scope. Call (728) 203-3270 for a free estimate, and we’ll deliver a written, line-item price.

FAQs About Kitchen Remodeling in Lake Park
Because the hardware and fasteners specified for a Lake Park job must survive salt air, not just look good. Standard zinc-plated hinges and drawer slides seize and pit within 24 months here, so we specify marine-grade stainless hardware on every cabinet we touch. That material costs more at purchase, and it means you pay once, not twice, for the same opening. Call (728) 203-3270 for a written quote on your specific kitchen.
Yes, and we recommend it. Many homes in Placid Bay have original terrazzo that can be repaired and sealed rather than replaced. We match the aggregate and color, fill cracks and chips with epoxy grout, and protect the floor with drop cloths during demolition and installation. For a free on-site assessment, call (728) 203-3270 and we’ll look at the slab and the floor together.
It adds a structural phase before rough-in, which means the draw schedule includes a milestone for beam or header installation and inspection. On older Lake Park duplexes, that wall often carries the roof and has to be replaced with a properly engineered beam before any plumbing or electrical work proceeds. The written price always accounts for this before we start, not after. Call (728) 203-3270 and we’ll walk the house with you and the structural plan.
An allowance is a set dollar amount in your written price for a fixture category, like faucets or cabinet hardware. A change order is a written amendment to the price when you select something beyond that allowance. We write allowances in the original contract and note the exact allowance dollar figure, so nothing arrives as a surprise later. Your Kohler faucet selection is priced against the allowance before the order is placed. Call (728) 203-3270 for a written quote on your kitchen.
Yes, any kitchen remodel in Lake Park that moves plumbing, relocates electrical, or alters the footprint requires a permit, and we pull every permit before any work begins. The 365-Day Done Right Promise covers all completed work, and each project has a photo of the clean-up before the crew leaves. If you have specific code questions about your home, call (728) 203-3270 and ask to speak with Graham directly.
