Trusted General Contractor for West Palm Beach Homeowners
Hiring our General Contractor in West Palm Beach means finding a team that will show up on time, name the specific materials going into your home, and hand you a written price before any work starts. Elmstead Remodeling West Palm Beach, led by Graham Stein, has been serving families across Palm Beach County since 2005 as a Cedarwell company. Our crews put drop cloths on the floors, shoe covers at the door, and quiet tools to work during nap and school hours – because the way the house is left matters to you as much as the finished result. When you call (728) 203-3270, a live person answers. Not a voicemail box, not an automated system, not a next-business-day callback.
Construction Company
A construction company in West Palm Beach handles the structural work, coordination, and building that a remodel or addition requires. You need one when a project goes beyond paint and trim: moving walls, adding square footage, reconfiguring a bath, or building a new space from the ground up. Elmstead Remodeling West Palm Beach manages the permits, the crews, the inspections, and the schedule. Kitchen remodels here run $14,000 – $45,000, bathrooms $9,000 – $28,000, and home additions $45,000 – $130,000. Every number is written down before the first tool comes off the truck.
Project coordination and scheduling
We sequence the work so your family is not living through months of disruption that should have taken weeks. Trades are scheduled in the order that protects finished work: drywall before flooring, paint after trim, fixtures last. Quiet hours are built into the calendar when children are sleeping or studying.
Permits and inspections
West Palm Beach has its own building department requirements, and we pull the permits, schedule the inspections, and stay on site until each one passes. If a project needs structural, plumbing, or electrical sign-off, that work is filed and posted before it begins. Graham Stein walks every job to confirm the work matches what was promised in writing.
Styles & brands we work with
Remodeling Contractor
A remodeling contractor in West Palm Beach focuses on transforming rooms you already have: kitchens, bathrooms, and whole-home renovations. You need one when the footprint stays the same but the function, layout, or finishes need to change. Elmstead Remodeling West Palm Beach handles bathroom remodeling, kitchen remodeling, and whole-home remodeling with named-brand materials and the Cedarwell Care Promise on every visit. Small bathroom remodels start around $5,000 and run to $12,000; walk-in shower installations run $4,500 – $12,000; countertop installation runs $2,000 – $6,500. The price is written, and it does not grow after the crew arrives.
Kitchen and bath renovations
We build kitchens with KraftMaid and Wellborn cabinets, Cambria and Caesarstone countertops, and Kohler and Moen fixtures. Surfaces are templated precisely, and cabinet runs are checked for level before the countertop slab ever gets set. Children’s reach, pet traffic, and how your family actually cooks are part of the layout conversation from the first walkthrough.
Whole-home interior work
When multiple rooms are changing at once, we stage the work so one area of the house stays livable while another is under construction. Drop cloths run from the front door to the work zone, and the crew asks before moving anything that belongs to your family. A photo of the clean-up is taken before the crew leaves every day.
Licensed General Contractor
A licensed general contractor in West Palm Beach carries the state credential required to pull building permits and manage residential construction legally. You need one for any project that touches structure, electrical, plumbing, or load-bearing walls – and frankly, for any job where an unlicensed crew would put your family at financial risk. Elmstead Remodeling West Palm Beach is state-licensed and insured, led by Graham Stein, and bound by the 365-Day Done Right Promise: if it is not done right after the job is complete, we make it right. Tub-to-shower conversions run $3,500 – $10,000. Driveway replacement runs $5,000 – $14,000.
Risk reduction through licensing
Licensing means the work is inspected, the contract is enforceable, and the contractor answers to the state if something goes wrong. It also protects your homeowner’s insurance: unlicensed work can void a claim. We encourage every West Palm Beach homeowner to verify a contractor’s license before signing anything.
Insurance and accountability
We carry insurance and bonding, and the 365-Day Done Right Promise is stamped on every project we complete. If a fixture fails or a joint opens up a year later, the remedy is a phone call. That promise has a name and a date on it, not a vague assurance.
Residential General Contractor
A residential general contractor in West Palm Beach builds and renovates single-family homes, townhomes, and condos – spaces where people live, sleep, cook, and raise children. You need one when the project is inside your home, not a commercial building. Elmstead Remodeling West Palm Beach works in the neighborhoods families actually live in: Westgate, Lake Worth, Palm Springs, Greenacres, and the historic districts around downtown. Impact window installation runs $8,000 – $25,000. Vinyl fence installation runs $3,500 – $9,000. Paver patio installation runs $3,500 – $11,000. Written prices, every time.
Living through a remodel
We plan around the daily rhythms of a household: breakfast routines, school drop-off, nap schedules, and evening quiet. Pet-safe products are used where there is a choice, and the crew closes off work zones so children and animals do not wander into them. Floors are swept and vacuumed at the end of each day.
Material choices for real households
Countertop and flooring selections get tested against real life: will tomato sauce stain it, will a dog’s nails scratch it, will a spilled cup of milk bead up or soak in? We bring samples and give the family the names – Cambria, Kohler, Moen, James Hardie – so they can research warranties independently before committing.
Hire a General Contractor
When you hire a general contractor in West Palm Beach, you are paying for someone to own the entire job: the crew, the schedule, the material orders, the inspections, and the clean-up. You need one when a project spans multiple trades or takes more than a few days. Elmstead Remodeling West Palm Beach gives you a written price before any work starts – not an estimate that grows after the crew arrives, not a “we will see how it goes.” ADU construction runs $90,000 – $220,000. Garage conversion runs $30,000 – $80,000. Roof replacement runs $8,000 – $20,000. The number is fixed, and the Clean up like it is our own home standard applies to every visit.
What to ask before signing
Ask for a written price. Ask who will be on site each day. Ask what happens when the project is done and something is not right. If the contractor hesitates on any of those, that is data. We answer all three in the first conversation, and the 365-Day Done Right Promise covers the third.
Red flags to avoid
Unmarked vans, cash-only payment demands, no written contract, and prices that “depend on what we find” are all reasons to pause. In West Palm Beach, a legitimate general contractor is licensed, insured, and comfortable putting numbers in writing before any work starts. Ask before we move or touch anything is a C.A.R.E. value our crews actually follow.
General Contractor Services
Palm Beach General Contractor services in West Palm Beach cover the full range of residential work: bathroom remodeling, kitchen remodeling, whole-home renovations, and the structural changes that connect them. You need these services when you have a clear picture of the finished result but no interest in managing six different crews yourself. Elmstead Remodeling West Palm Beach provides cabinetry, countertops, plumbing fixtures, flooring, drywall, tile, exterior upgrades, and the coordination that ties them all together. Backsplash installation runs $800 – $2,500. Kitchen island installation runs $3,000 – $10,000. Cabinet installation runs $4,000 – $13,000. Each project gets one written price before the work begins.
Single-source accountability
One company, one contract, one phone number, one person accountable for the whole project. If a tile line runs crooked or a cabinet door arrives scratched, that is our problem to fix, not a debate between a plumber and a painter. Graham Stein is the name on the job, and the 365-Day Done Right Promise is the standard that follows every completed project.
Phased renovation planning
For families in Greenacres, Riviera Beach, or North Palm Beach who want to renovate over time, we phase the work so a bathroom can be completed this year and the kitchen next, without re-mobilizing a new team each time. Prices are held for the scope described, and the written estimate reflects the phase boundaries clearly.

Brands We Service
We work with Caesarstone and Cambria quartz because their manufacturing tolerances are tight and the slabs hold up to the heat, citrus, and daily abuse of a South Florida kitchen. Templating is done with digital measuring tools, and the cut is verified against the cabinet run before the slab is ever set on the deck.
Kohler and Moen fixtures are our baseline for bathroom and kitchen plumbing because their cartridges are serviceable, their finishes hold up to hard water, and their warranties are something a homeowner can actually rely on. Whether you have Kohler, Moen, Blanco, or any other make, we can install it correctly and stand behind the work.

AfterSigns You Need a Pro Right Now
- Water stains on ceilings or baseboards. These mean a leak is active somewhere above or behind the surface. Ignoring it turns a small plumbing repair into mold remediation and drywall replacement.
- Doors that stick or gaps at the top of walls. In West Palm Beach, where humidity and clay soils shift, sticking doors can signal slab movement. A pro can tell you if it is settlement, moisture, or a structural concern.
- Grout that crumbles when you touch it. Loose grout in a shower pan lets water reach the subfloor and framing. By the time you see cracking, the damage below usually costs more than the retile.
- Electrical flicker when the A/C kicks on. A brief dim is normal; a sustained flicker or a burning smell is not. This is a fire hazard that needs a licensed contractor and an electrician on site quickly.
- Visible cracks wider than a quarter inch. Hairline cracks in drywall are cosmetic. Cracks with displacement or that grow seasonally deserve a structural look before you paint over them.
Our Process, Step by Step
- 1
Walkthrough and measurements. Graham Stein or a senior project lead walks the home with you, measuring, photographing, and listening. We ask how the family uses the space – who cooks, who bathes, where the dog sleeps – before making a single material recommendation.
- 2
Written price and scope. Within days of the walkthrough, you receive a written, line-item price covering materials, labor, permits, and clean-up. This is the number. It does not change unless you change the scope in writing.
- 3
Material selection and scheduling. We bring samples, name the brands, and schedule the work around your family’s quiet hours. Cabinets are ordered early because lead times in West Palm Beach can run six to ten weeks, and we do not demo until the materials are on site.
- 4
Construction with daily clean-up. Every day ends with a swept floor. Drop cloths stay down from the entry to the work zone, crew members wear shoe covers, and a photo of the clean-up is taken before anyone leaves. Quiet tools run during children’s nap and school hours where possible.
- 5
Final walkthrough and the 365-Day Done Right Promise. We walk the finished project with you, item by item, against the written scope. If anything is not right, it is on the list. And if anything fails within a year, we make it right. The promise is written on every contract, not implied.
How Much Does General Contractor Cost in West Palm Beach?
A typical kitchen remodel in West Palm Beach runs $14,000 – $45,000 depending on cabinet line, countertop material, and whether walls move. A bathroom remodel runs $9,000 – $28,000; a small bathroom remodel runs $5,000 – $12,000. Walk-in shower installation runs $4,500 – $12,000. Home additions run $45,000 – $130,000, and ADU construction runs $90,000 – $220,000. The main variables are material grade, square footage, plumbing and electrical scope, and whether structural work requires engineering. West Palm Beach permit fees and inspection schedules also factor in, and we include them in the written price rather than adding them later. How to avoid overpaying: get a written line-item price before work starts, ask which materials are named in the contract, and do not pay in full upfront.
