Styles & brands we work with
Home Remodeling Contractor
A Home Remodeling Contractor coordinates the trades, permits, materials, and schedule so your project doesn’t stall mid-construction. You need one when the work involves structural changes, plumbing, electrical, or anything a handyman’s insurance won’t cover. Elmstead Remodeling West Palm Beach is a general contracting firm founded in 2005, and the projects we run in West Palm Beach carry named-brand materials plus the Cedarwell Care Promise on every visit: shoe covers at the door, drop cloths on the floors, and quiet tools during nap and school hours where possible. Pricing depends on scope. A home addition in West Palm Beach runs $45,000 – $130,000, and kitchen work starts around $9,000 for a small remodel.
What the Contractor Actually Does
We pull permits, schedule inspections, and manage every subcontractor so you’re not the one calling the plumber at 2 p.m. on a Tuesday. Graham Stein reviews each project scope personally before the written price goes out.
We also protect what’s already in the house. Floors get drop cloths before tools come out, and the crew asks before moving anything, down to a dog bed or a stack of mail.
How We Price the Work
Every Elmstead project starts with a written line-item price, not a verbal range that drifts after demolition begins. You’ll see the cost of cabinets, labor, and finishes before you sign anything.
No change orders appear mid-job unless you ask for something new. If a surprise comes up behind the drywall, we show it to you, explain it, and price it in writing before touching it.
Home Renovation
Home Renovation in West Palm Beach often means updating a house to work with Florida’s humidity, salt air, and the wear that children and pets put on floors and finishes. A renovation differs from a remodel in scope: renovation repairs and refreshes what exists, while a remodel changes layout or function. We do both. A small bathroom renovation in West Palm Beach runs $5,000 – $12,000, while a kitchen renovation tends to start around $14,000 and can reach $45,000 depending on cabinet and countertop selections, such as Cambria or Caesarstone surfaces. Families in Greenacres and Lake Worth call us for Home Remodeling in Greenacres when the house feels dated but the floor plan still works.
Renovation vs. Remodel
If you’re keeping the same footprint but replacing finishes, fixtures, and surfaces, that’s renovation. If walls move or plumbing relocates, that’s a remodel, and the scope and permit path change.
We’ll tell you which one you actually need. Sometimes the honest answer is a renovation, and that saves you $10,000 or more.
What a Renovation Typically Includes
Flooring, paint, cabinet refacing or replacement, countertops, lighting, and plumbing fixtures are the common pieces. We quote each line separately so you can keep what works and replace what doesn’t.
In West Palm Beach, we also look for moisture issues behind old tile and around windows before we close anything up. Salt air and humidity hide problems that a fresh coat of paint won’t fix.
Home Remodeling Companies
Home Remodeling Companies in West Palm Beach range from solo operators to national franchises, and the difference shows up in how they handle permits, scheduling, and post-project follow-through. What to look for: a written price before work starts, named-brand materials whose warranties you can verify, and a written workmanship promise. Elmstead Remodeling West Palm Beach operates as an independently owned Cedarwell company, which means we hold to the same Cedarwell Care Promise standards across every location. A kitchen remodel with us runs $14,000 – $45,000; a full home remodel starts above that and scales with square footage and finish level.
Questions to Ask Any Contractor
Ask whether the price is written before work starts or ballparked until demolition. Ask whose name is on the permit. Ask what happens if the tile cracks six months after the final walkthrough.
Our answers: written price, our name on the permit, and the 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing on every project. A live person answers our phones 24/7, including weekends.
Why Families Choose Elmstead
We name the protection before we name the product. Drop cloths down before tools come off the truck. Shoe covers at the door. A photo of the clean-up taken before the crew leaves, included on every job.
We also stock and install brands you can research yourself: Kohler and Moen fixtures, Cambria and Caesarstone countertops. The manufacturer warranties travel with the finished project.
Whole House Remodel
A Whole House Remodel in West Palm Beach is the right call when a house has good bones but needs updating across multiple systems at once, kitchens, baths, flooring, and often electrical or plumbing. Doing it as one project avoids the stop-start of remodeling room by room across three years of living in construction. Whole house remodels are priced by scope and finish level; most projects in West Palm Beach fall between $45,000 and $130,000, with larger or fully custom homes exceeding that. We plan the schedule around your family’s daily rhythm, including quiet hours for children’s sleep and pet-safe product choices where available.
Sequencing the Work
We phase a whole house remodel so the family can keep living in the home as long as possible. Kitchens and baths are sequenced so you’re never without both at once unless the scope demands it.
Every phase gets its own written price before that phase starts. You approve each step, so there’s never a mystery line item at the end of the month.
Systems Work Included
Whole house work often uncovers wiring that’s not up to current code or plumbing that’s been patched rather than replaced. We catch those during demolition and quote the correction in writing before proceeding.
Because we pull permits and pass inspections, the finished house is documented. That matters when you sell, refinance, or file an insurance claim.
Luxury Home Remodeling
Luxury Home Remodeling in West Palm Beach means higher-end materials, tighter tolerances, and a crew that understands the finish level isn’t optional. This isn’t about spending more for the sake of it. It’s about selecting materials that survive Florida’s climate without warping, fading, or failing: James Hardie exteriors, Cambria and Caesarstone countertops, Kohler and Moen fixtures. A luxury kitchen remodel in West Palm Beach typically falls toward the upper end of the $14,000 – $45,000 range, while a luxury primary bath can reach $28,000 or beyond with custom glass, heated floors, and high-end tile work. Elmstead Remodeling West Palm Beach has done this work in Jupiter and our Home Remodeling in Palm Beach, where the standard is different and the details matter.
Materials That Hold Up in Florida
Salt air and humidity punish cheap hardware quickly. We specify finishes and fasteners that don’t corrode, and cabinetry that doesn’t swell in coastal moisture.
Flooring choices also change in a luxury scope. We account for expansion and contraction, and we install to manufacturer spec so the warranty stays valid.
The Finish Standard
Luxury work should look intentional, not just expensive. Clean caulk lines, consistent reveals, and grain-matched panels where the design calls for it. Our clean-up standard matches the finish level: a photo of the cleared room before the crew leaves, every day.
We also schedule luxury projects with fewer surprises. You’ll know the price, the timeline, and the materials before any wall opens up.
Full Home Remodel
A Full Home Remodel in West Palm Beach is a whole house remodel taken through to completion, not a partial refresh. Kitchens, bathrooms, flooring, trim, paint, often the exterior, all done under one permit set and one schedule. This is the right scope when a family plans to stay in the house long-term, or when an older home in Lake Worth or Riviera Beach needs North Palm Beach Home Remodeling to update everything at once. Full home remodels in West Palm Beach run $45,000 – $130,000, with additions and structural work pushing higher. That range includes written pricing, permits, inspections, and our 365-Day Done Right Promise on the entire completed project.
When Full Remodel Makes Sense
If your house needs a new kitchen, new baths, new floors, and updated electrical anyway, doing them together costs less than doing them separately. One mobilization, one permit package, one written price.
It also shortens the total time you live around construction. One eight-month project beats four eighteen-month projects stacked back to back.
How We Keep It Livable
During a full remodel, we’ll section off the work area with dust containment, keep a clear path to the door, and run quiet tools during nap and school hours where possible. Pets get the same consideration; we’ll tell you which days are loud and which rooms stay closed.
Every full home remodel from Elmstead ends with the Cedarwell Care Promise walkthrough: drop cloths pulled, floors cleared, photo of the clean-up before we call it done.
Brands We Service
We install and warranty work involving Kohler and Moen fixtures across bathrooms and kitchens. Kohler’s warranty documentation travels with the finished project, and we install to their spec so the warranty isn’t voided by a bad flange or improper seal. Moen fixtures we stock and install regularly, and their cartridges are replaceable without pulling tile, which matters in West Palm Beach humidity that eats cheap internal parts.
On the countertop side, we work extensively with Caesarstone and Blanco, plus Cambria and Silestone. Caesarstone’s quartz surfaces hold up to citrus, sunscreen, and pool-water drips without etching the way marble does, which is why we recommend it for families with kids and pets. Whether you have Caesarstone, Kohler, Moen, or any other make, we can help evaluate what’s there and quote what it takes to replace or upgrade it.

AfterSigns You Need a Pro Right Now
- Water stains spreading on a ceiling or wall. In West Palm Beach, that’s often a roof leak or a plumbing leak inside the wall cavity. The longer it runs, the more framing and drywall it destroys, and mold starts in Florida’s humidity within days.
- Floor tiles that sound hollow when tapped. That means the bond between tile and substrate has failed, usually from moisture or a bad original install. The fix requires removing and resetting the tile, not adding grout into the cracks.
- Cracked or sticking doors and windows. South Florida houses shift with heat and moisture cycles. If a door stops latching or a window won’t open, the frame or the structure behind it may be moving, and a pro should look before you force anything.
- Musty smell in a bathroom or laundry room. That’s trapped moisture, which in Palm Beach County’s climate means mold is likely already behind the tile or vanity. It needs to be opened, remediated, and sealed properly.
- Peeling paint or bubbling drywall near baseboards. Water wicks up from the slab or down from a leaking fixture. Paint will not fix it. The source has to be found and corrected before the surface is patched.
Our Process, Step by Step
- 1
Call and talk to a live person. When you call (728) 203-3270, someone answers. You’ll describe the project, and we’ll ask about the house, the family’s schedule, and what’s not working in the current space.
- 2
Walkthrough and measurements. We come to the house, take measurements, look at the existing plumbing and electrical where relevant, and check for the moisture and structural issues common in West Palm Beach homes. Graham Stein or a senior project lead is on every walkthrough.
- 3
Written price, line by line. You receive a written price before any work starts. Materials are itemized by name, not “contractor grade.” Labor, permits, and clean-up are all in the document.
- 4
Schedule and protect. We set the timeline around your family’s routine where possible. Drop cloths and shoe covers go down before tools come out. We’ll tell you which days are loud so you can plan around naps, school calls, or a nervous dog.
- 5
Build, inspect, and clean. We pull permits and call inspections. Before the crew leaves each day, the work area is cleared and covered. On the final day, you get the photo of the clean-up and the 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing.
How Much Does Home Remodeling 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 or plumbing move. A small kitchen runs $9,000 – $20,000. Bathrooms run $9,000 – $28,000, with a small bathroom remodel at $5,000 – $12,000 and a walk-in shower installation at $4,500 – $12,000. A whole house or full home remodel falls between $45,000 and $130,000, and home additions run $45,000 – $130,000 depending on square footage and structural work. If you’re adding an ADU in the backyard, budget $90,000 – $220,000.
What affects the price most is scope: moving plumbing or walls is expensive, replacing fixtures in place is not. Material selection moves the number too. A Moen faucet is not a $30 store-brand faucet, and Cambria quartz costs more than laminate, but both carry warranties you can read before you buy. The way to avoid overpaying is to get a written line-item price and compare the same scope across contractors, not the same square footage. Our free estimate includes the walkthrough, the moisture and structure check, and the written scope and price. Call (728) 203-3270 to schedule yours.

Frequently Asked Questions About Home Remodeling in West Palm Beach
Home remodeling is changing the structure, layout, or function of a house, not just refreshing its surfaces. In West Palm Beach, that often means opening a kitchen to the living space, converting a tub to a walk-in shower, or reconfiguring a bedroom into a home office. Remodeling differs from renovation in scope and usually requires permits. A remodel changes the plan; a renovation refreshes what’s already there.
A bathroom remodel in West Palm Beach typically takes 3 – 6 weeks depending on the extent of the plumbing and tile work. A kitchen remodel runs 6 – 12 weeks, mostly driven by cabinet lead times from manufacturers like KraftMaid and Wellborn. Whole house remodels take 4 – 9 months, and we’ll give you a written schedule with the written price. We sequence the work to keep a bathroom and kitchen usable for as long as the scope allows.
A kitchen remodel in West Palm Beach runs $14,000 – $45,000, while a bathroom remodel is $9,000 – $28,000. Smaller scopes like a small bathroom remodel start around $5,000, and a whole house remodel or home addition runs $45,000 – $130,000. The main variables are structural changes, material choices, and the condition of the existing plumbing and electrical. A written price before any work starts is included on every Elmstead project.
Yes, we install and service Kohler and Moen fixtures and stock their common replacement parts. We install to manufacturer specification so the factory warranty remains valid, and we’ll quote the work in writing before we begin. If you’re replacing an old fixture with a Moen or Kohler model, we can also handle the valve and supply line work behind the wall.
For water damage, roof leaks, or failed plumbing that needs immediate attention, call (728) 203-3270 and a live person will answer, any hour, any day. We’ll get someone scheduled and talk you through shutting off the water or power if needed. For new projects and full remodels, we schedule walkthroughs within a few days and start most projects within one to two weeks.
Every completed project from Elmstead Remodeling West Palm Beach carries the 365-Day Done Right Promise: if it’s not done right, we make it right. That promise is in writing and covers workmanship on the full scope. Materials carry their own manufacturer warranties from brands like KraftMaid, Cambria, Kohler, and Moen, and those travel with the finished project, not the contractor.
Clear the work area of personal items, but you don’t need to empty the house. We’ll cover floors with drop cloths and wear shoe covers on every visit, and we’ll ask before moving anything. Pets should have a closed-off room on loud days, and we’ll tell you the schedule in advance. We’ll also tell you which rooms will be without water or power and for how long, before it happens.
