Trusted Kitchen Remodeling for West Palm Beach Homeowners
A Full Kitchen Remodeling project in West Palm Beach typically runs $14,000 to $45,000, and the single biggest factor in whether you’ll be happy with the result is the contractor you choose before the first cabinet comes down. Since 2005, Elmstead Remodeling, a Cedarwell company, has handled kitchen projects across Palm Beach County with a written price delivered before any work starts, background-checked crew members in uniform, and a 365-Day Done Right Promise stamped on every job. If you’re weighing a kitchen update and want to know exactly what you’ll pay and how the work will unfold around your family’s schedule, call (728) 203-3270 and a live person will answer, day or night.
Our crews work in West Palm Beach neighborhoods from Flamingo Park to Pineapple Park, and we plan each project around the realities of a house with kids and pets: drop cloths on the floors, shoe covers at the door, quiet tools during nap and school hours, and pet-safe product choices wherever a safer option exists.
Kitchen Remodeling Contractor
A Kitchen Remodeling Contractor is the licensed professional who coordinates every trade on a kitchen project: demolition, plumbing, electrical, cabinetry, countertops, tile, and finish work, so the homeowner deals with one accountable party instead of five separate crews. You need one when the work touches more than one system in the kitchen, when load-bearing walls may be involved, or when you want a single written price for the entire scope. Elmstead Remodeling West Palm Beach serves as that single point of contact, and our full kitchen remodels range from $14,000 to $45,000 depending on cabinet grade, countertop material, and whether the footprint changes.
Permit-Ready Project Management
West Palm Beach kitchens often require mechanical, electrical, and plumbing permits, and our team prepares and files the paperwork rather than leaving it to the homeowner to sort out. Graham Stein reviews every scope before the crew arrives so the permit package matches the work actually being done.
Family-Scheduled Work Sequencing
We sequence demolition, rough-in, and finish work so the kitchen is never unusable longer than it has to be. If the household has a toddler who naps at 1 p.m., that’s on the schedule, not an afterthought.
Styles & brands we work with
Kitchen Design
Kitchen Design is the planning phase where cabinet layout, appliance placement, counter overhangs, walkway clearances, and lighting positions are decided before a single wall is opened. It matters because a well-designed kitchen prevents the expensive discovery, halfway through the job, that the refrigerator door hits the island or the dishwasher blocks a drawer bank. Elmstead Remodeling West Palm Beach includes design planning as part of every kitchen project, with layouts drawn so the family can see the flow before work starts, and the cost of the design work is built into the full remodel range of $14,000 to $45,000.
Work Triangle and Clearance Planning
We measure sink-to-range-to-refrigerator distances and keep walkways at 42 inches or more where the plan allows, which is the clearance recommended for a household with more than one cook. Pet bowls and trash pull-outs get a designated spot in the layout so they don’t end up blocking a cabinet door.
Named-Brand Material Selection
Our design team specs cabinets from KraftMaid and Wellborn, countertops from Cambria, Silestone, and Caesarstone, and fixtures from Kohler, Moen, and Grohe. Homeowners can research every brand by name, read the manufacturer warranty, and know exactly what is going into the house.
Kitchen Renovation
A Kitchen Renovation is the broader project of updating the kitchen’s structure and finishes: moving or replacing plumbing, reconfiguring walls or soffits, replacing flooring, upgrading electrical, and installing new cabinets and counters. Homeowners choose a renovation over a simple refresh when the kitchen no longer works for how the family actually lives, whether that means a wall coming down for an open plan or a peninsula replaced with an island. Elmstead Remodeling West Palm Beach handles Cabinets & Countertops and full renovations from the first structural assessment through the final walkthrough, with full kitchen renovations ranging from $14,000 to $45,000 in the West Palm Beach market.
Structural Changes and Load-Bearing Walls
When a wall is coming out, we evaluate what the wall is carrying and size the replacement beam before the sledgehammer shows up. The written price you receive includes the beam, the temporary support, and the engineering, so the number doesn’t shift when the work starts.
Flooring and Threshold Transitions
Kitchen renovations in West Palm Beach homes often reveal uneven subfloors or outdated tile, and our crew addresses transitions between the kitchen floor and the adjoining room so the finished surface sits flush and safe for bare feet and small children. We handle Backsplash, Tile & Flooring as part of the scope. We carry the flooring scope into the written price before demo begins.
Cabinet Installation
Cabinet Installation is the precise mounting and leveling of base and wall cabinets, including shimming for out-of-level floors, securing cabinets to studs, and aligning drawer faces and door gaps so everything operates cleanly. It’s needed when the existing cabinets have water damage around the sink, when drawer slides have failed, or when a layout change makes the old boxes unusable. Elmstead Remodeling West Palm Beach installs cabinets from KraftMaid and Wellborn, with cabinet installation typically priced from $4,000 to $13,000 depending on linear footage and cabinet construction.
Leveling and Stud Anchoring
West Palm Beach slab foundations and older wood-frame homes both produce floors that are rarely level, and we shim every base cabinet individually before anchoring to studs at each cabinet’s mounting rail. The countertop that sits on top is only as flat as the cabinets below it.
Soft-Close Hardware and Drawer Alignment
We set drawer fronts and doors to consistent reveals, adjust soft-close mechanisms, and test every hinge and slide before the job is signed off. A cabinet door that drifts or a drawer that sticks is a call-back we’d rather prevent on day one.
Countertop Installation
Countertop Installation covers templating, fabricating, and setting the finished counter surface, whether it’s quartz from Cambria or Silestone, a Caesarstone slab, or a replacement surface on existing cabinets. You need it when the current counter is cracked, stained beyond repair, or being changed as part of a larger kitchen update. Elmstead Remodeling West Palm Beach manages templating and installation, and countertop installation in West Palm Beach runs $2,000 to $6,500 for most kitchens, with the final number driven by square footage, edge profile, and material.
Digital Templating for Seam Placement
We template with digital equipment so the seam lands where the fabricator and the family both want it, typically away from the sink cutout and never in the middle of the main work surface. The homeowner approves the layout before the slab is cut, so there are no surprises at install.
Seam Finishing and Sink Set
Seams are color-matched, clamped, and finished to sit nearly flush, and the sink is set and sealed with the faucet holes drilled to match the fixture spec. We check for movement at the dishwasher opening and confirm the overhang is consistent along the entire run before the crew leaves.
Kitchen Remodeling Company
A Kitchen Remodeling Company is the business entity that carries the license, insurance, and warranty for a kitchen project, and that’s the entity you call when something needs attention months after the final invoice. Choosing a company rather than a cash crew matters because the warranty is only as good as the company standing behind it. Elmstead Remodeling West Palm Beach is a Cedarwell company founded in 2005, and our 365-Day Done Right Promise means if something is not done right after the job is complete, we make it right. Full kitchen projects range from $14,000 to $45,000.
One Warranty, One Phone Number
Every trade on our kitchen jobs, from the plumber to the tile setter, works under the Elmstead umbrella, so a warranty question has one phone number and one accountable office. Graham Stein’s team answers that phone with a live person, 24/7.
The Cedarwell Care Promise, In Writing
Every project we run is governed by the Cedarwell Care Promise: shoe covers and drop cloths inside the house, a written price before any work starts, a photo of the clean-up before the crew leaves, quiet tools during family rest hours where possible, and pet-safe product choices where available. It’s not a marketing line; it’s the operating standard we hand to every crew lead.
Small Kitchen Remodel
A Small Kitchen Remodel updates a compact kitchen, typically under 150 square feet, without changing the room’s footprint, focusing on better cabinet storage, new counters, refresh fixtures, and lighting. It’s the right scope for a condo in West Palm Beach, a galley kitchen, or a homeowner who wants the functional upgrade without the structural work. Elmstead Remodeling West Palm Beach prices small kitchen remodels from $9,000 to $20,000 in this market, and we treat the small footprint as a design constraint to solve, not a reason to cut corners.
Storage Density and Pull-Out Hardware
In a small kitchen, every cabinet needs to earn its place, so we spec drawer banks over swing-door lowers, add pull-out trays in blind corners, and use full-extension slides. A 10-foot run with the right hardware stores more than a 14-foot run with the wrong one.
Condominium Logistics and Building Rules
Many West Palm Beach condos have elevator scheduling requirements, insurance certificates to file, and limited work hours, and our team handles those logistics before the first cabinet is unloaded. We’ve managed deliveries and debris removal through service elevators and loading docks across downtown West Palm Beach and the waterfront buildings along Flagler Drive.
Kitchen Cabinet Refacing Contractors
Kitchen Cabinet Refacing Contractors replace the visible surfaces of existing cabinets (doors, drawer fronts, and veneer on the face frames) while keeping the cabinet boxes in place, which gives the kitchen a new look for less than a full cabinet replacement. Refacing makes sense when the cabinet boxes are structurally sound but the finish is worn, dated, or no longer matches the family’s taste. Elmstead Remodeling West Palm Beach performs Cabinet Installation & Refacing with the same written-price standard as every other project, and the final cost depends on door style and veneer material; homeowners should expect to discuss their specific cabinet layout for an exact number.
Box Inspection Before the Veneer Goes On
Before any refacing material is ordered, we open the cabinets and check for water damage around the sink base, loose corner joints, and failing shelf pins. A reface over a failing box is a wasted expense, and we’d rather tell the homeowner the truth at the start.
Door and Drawer Front Fabrication
Replacement doors and drawer fronts are fabricated to the existing openings, not ordered as generic stock sizes, so the reveals stay consistent and the finished kitchen looks like a new installation. Hardware locations are transferred and drilled cleanly, with old hinge mortises patched so they don’t show.

AfterBrands We Service
We install and service Kohler and Moen fixtures on a regular basis across West Palm Beach kitchens, and our team knows the valve bodies, cartridge types, and finish options specific to each brand’s lines. When a homeowner wants a Kohler pull-down faucet or a Moen touchless model, we confirm compatibility with the existing plumbing before the fixture is ordered, not after the box is opened.
For countertops, we work with Caesarstone and Blanco surfaces, and we follow each manufacturer’s fabrication and templating standards so the warranty stays intact. Blanco sinks are set and sealed to the manufacturer’s spec, and Caesarstone slabs are templated, cut, and installed with the seam placement and edge profile approved by the homeowner. Whether your kitchen has Kohler, Moen, Caesarstone, Blanco, or any other make, we can help.
Signs You Need a Pro Right Now
- Water staining or swelling at the sink base cabinet. A soft cabinet floor under the sink usually means a slow leak has been soaking the particleboard for months. Left alone, the cabinet loses structural strength and the leak keeps spreading into the subfloor, where the repair gets significantly more expensive.
- Cabinet doors that no longer close square. When multiple doors or drawers start rubbing, catching, or hanging crooked, the cabinet boxes have likely shifted or the hinges have worn past adjustment. This is often the first sign the kitchen is ready for refacing or replacement.
- Countertop seams that have opened or cracked. A separated seam near the sink or a crack running from a corner means the surface is no longer sealing out water. That water works its way into the substrate and the cabinet below, compounding the problem every week.
- Electrical outlets that are dead or warm to the touch. A kitchen outlet that sparks, feels warm, or stops working is a wiring problem, not a convenience issue. Older West Palm Beach homes with original aluminum or undersized circuits need a licensed electrician’s assessment before any remodeling continues.
- Visible mold or persistent musty smell under the sink or behind the dishwasher. In West Palm Beach’s humid climate, a hidden leak inside a cabinet can grow mold quickly. If you can smell it, the affected materials need to be removed and the cavity dried and treated, not just covered over.
Our Process, Step by Step
- 1
Call and talk to a live person. You call (728) 203-3270 and someone answers. We listen to what’s happening in the kitchen, ask about the house’s age and the family’s schedule, and book a walkthrough if the project warrants one. No voicemail trees, no call-back later in the week.
- 2
Walkthrough and written price. Graham Stein or a senior team member walks the kitchen, checks the cabinet boxes, the plumbing rough-in, and the electrical panel, and talks through the options. Before any work is scheduled, you get a written price for the scope, not a verbal ballpark that drifts.
- 3
Material selection and shop drawings. We sit down with the cabinet line, the countertop material, the fixture finishes, and the tile, and we produce drawings that show the layout, the clearances, and the appliance positions. The homeowner signs off on the plan before a single order is placed.
- 4
Demolition and rough-in, protected daily. The crew arrives with shoe covers and drop cloths, seals off the work area, and sequences the demo and rough-in so the house stays livable. Quiet tools are used during nap and school hours where possible, and pet-safe products are chosen where a safer option exists.
- 5
Installation, close-out, and the Done Right Promise. Cabinets, counters, fixtures, and finishes go in per the approved drawings, and before the crew leaves, we photograph the clean-up and walk the job with you. Every project carries the 365-Day Done Right Promise: if it’s not done right, we make it right.
How Much Does Kitchen Remodeling Cost in West Palm Beach?
A typical full kitchen remodel in West Palm Beach runs $14,000 to $45,000, with the spread driven by cabinet construction, countertop material, whether plumbing or electrical moves, and the condition of the existing subfloor. A small kitchen remodel on a compact footprint generally lands between $9,000 and $20,000, while cabinet installation alone runs $4,000 to $13,000 and countertop installation runs $2,000 to $6,500 for most kitchens. Backsplash installation adds $800 to $2,500, and a kitchen island runs $3,000 to $10,000 depending on cabinetry, counter material, and whether electrical is pulled for an outlet in the island.
What drives the price most in West Palm Beach is the condition behind the walls and under the floor: older homes in neighborhoods like El Cid and Grandview Heights often need electrical upgrades, plumbing rough-in replacement, or subfloor repair once the old kitchen is opened up. You avoid overpaying by choosing a contractor who gives a written price after the walkthrough and doesn’t add change orders once demolition starts. Our written price includes the scope as agreed, and if we find something unexpected behind a wall, we stop, show you, and get written approval before proceeding. A free estimate includes the walkthrough, measurements, and the written price, with no obligation.

Frequently Asked Questions About Kitchen Remodeling in West Palm Beach
Kitchen remodeling is the process of updating a kitchen’s structure, systems, and finishes, which can include replacing cabinets, countertops, flooring, plumbing, electrical, and appliances, and sometimes reconfiguring the room’s layout. A remodel differs from a simple refresh in that it usually touches more than one system and often requires permits. Elmstead Remodeling West Palm Beach handles full kitchen remodels from $14,000 to $45,000, with the written price delivered before any work starts.
Most full kitchen remodels in West Palm Beach take 4 to 8 weeks from demolition to final walkthrough, depending on cabinet lead times, countertop fabrication, and whether the footprint is changing. Small kitchen remodels can finish in 2 to 4 weeks, and cabinet refacing often runs 1 to 2 weeks. We sequence the work so the kitchen is out of service for the shortest practical stretch, and the schedule is discussed at the written-price stage. Call (728) 203-3270 for a timeline specific to your project.
