AfterCabinets & Countertops in West Palm Beach, FL
Cabinet and countertop work in West Palm Beach typically runs from $12,000 to $45,000 depending on the kitchen’s size, the materials you choose, and whether we’re keeping the existing layout or updating the Kitchen Design & Layout. Most projects take two to four weeks from tear-out to final walk-through. At Elmstead Remodeling West Palm Beach, we start every one of these jobs the same way: with a written price and a conversation about how the work will fit around your family’s actual days, not the other way around.
We’re a Kitchen Remodeling in West Palm Beach contractor that treats cabinets and countertops as its own discipline. It’s the part of a remodel families touch most, lean on daily, and notice first when something isn’t right. Graham Stein leads our West Palm Beach team, and he’s built the process around one simple idea: name the protection before the disruption. You’ll know which materials arrive, what they cost, when the crew shows up, and what the room looks like when we leave. You can reach us at (728) 203-3270 any time, day or night, and a person answers.
Every project we take on, including cabinet and countertop replacements, carries the 365-Day Done Right Promise. If something isn’t right after the job is complete, we come back and make it right. That promise is stamped on the written price you receive before any work begins.
When You Need Cabinets & Countertops
You don’t need Full Kitchen Remodeling to know the cabinets or counters have gone past their useful life. Here are the situations we see most often in West Palm Beach homes, from Flamingo Park to Ibis Golf & Country Club:
- Cabinet frames are swelling or peeling. South Florida humidity gets into particle board and MDF faster than most people expect. In neighborhoods like El Cid and Northwood Hills, we regularly see lower cabinets that have absorbed moisture from mopping and dishwasher steam until the doors no longer close flush. This isn’t cosmetic. Once the frame starts to warp, the joints loosen and shelves begin to fail.
- Drawers stick, jam, or slide off their tracks. If you’re using two hands to open a drawer, or if a drawer only opens at a certain angle, the glides are done. Families in Bear Lakes and Andros Isle tell us the junk drawer became a two-person job. New soft-close glides, full-extension hardware, and dovetailed drawer boxes solve this properly, and we install them as part of a cabinet replacement rather than patching a failing system.
- Laminate counters are lifting at the seams. Water finds its way under laminate near the sink and dishwasher, and once the substrate swells, the surface never sits flat again. We see this all over West Palm Beach, but especially in older homes in Southland Park and Grandview Heights where the original counters have been in place since the 1990s. Replacing with solid surface or quartz from brands like Caesarstone or Silestone removes the seam problem entirely.
- You’re selling and the kitchen is the objection. Realtors in West Palm Beach will tell you the kitchen is the room that sells the house, and dated cabinets with worn counters are the number one reason buyers lowball. A targeted cabinet refresh with new doors, new hardware, and a stone counter can change the conversation in a week or two.
- The layout doesn’t work for how your family actually lives. Maybe you need a lower microwave so your kids can reach it safely, or a pull-out cabinet for the dog food bins, or drawers instead of deep cabinets because you’re tired of losing pans in the back. These aren’t extras. They’re the details that make a kitchen feel like it was built for your family, not a showroom photo.
- You’ve patched and repaired long enough. Hinges that strip out of particle board, doors that won’t stay closed, laminate that chips at the corners. At a certain point, the cost of repeated repairs outweighs replacement, and we’ll tell you honestly when that point arrives. The written price includes everything, so you can compare repair against replacement with real numbers instead of guesses.
Our Cabinets & Countertops Process
We built our process to protect the house while the work happens. Here’s exactly what that looks like on a typical cabinet and countertop job in West Palm Beach:
- We meet at your home and measure everything. Graham or one of our project leads walks the kitchen with you, opens every cabinet, checks the plumbing locations, and measures for counters, clearances, and appliance openings. We ask about your kids’ schedules, your pets, and when the house needs to be quiet. The written price follows this visit, not before it.
- You choose materials from brands you can research by name. Cabinets from KraftMaid and Wellborn. Countertops from Cambria, Silestone, and Caesarstone. Sinks and faucets from Kohler, Moen, Grohe, and Blanco. We don’t push one over another. We explain the tradeoffs in durability, maintenance, and price, then you decide. Every brand carries its own manufacturer warranty that travels with the finished project.
- We prepare the room before any tool is powered on. Drop cloths go down on the floors, shoe covers go on at the door, and we seal off the work area to keep dust out of the rest of the house. If you have pets, we confirm which doors stay closed and which rooms are off-limits. This is the Cedarwell Care Promise in practice, on every job, every time.
- We install in stages with quiet hours respected. Demo happens first, then cabinet installation, then templating and countertop fabrication. Counter fabrication happens off-site, which means no cutting or grinding in your kitchen. Quiet tools are used during your family’s rest hours where possible, and we schedule around nap time and school hours when you tell us they matter.
- We clean up and prove it. Before the crew leaves, we take a photo of the cleaned work area and send it to you. Every job. No photos at the end of the week, no “we’ll get to it tomorrow.” The room is left in better shape than we found it, with the debris hauled away and the floors swept.
- We walk through the finished work with you. You open every drawer, run the faucet, check the seams. If anything isn’t right, we fix it before we leave or schedule the fix immediately. And the 365-Day Done Right Promise means that conversation doesn’t end when the crew pulls out of the driveway.
Cabinets & Countertops Pricing in West Palm Beach

What moves the price in West Palm Beach specifically:
- Cabinet construction: Stock, semi-custom, and custom each carry different price points. Dovetailed hardwood drawers and plywood boxes cost more than stapled particle board, and they last decades longer in our humidity. We’ll show you the difference and let you decide.
- Countertop material: Laminate is the least expensive and quartz is the most common upgrade we install in West Palm Beach kitchens. Natural stone like granite and marble varies by slab, and we’ll walk you through sealing and maintenance before you commit.
- Plumbing and electrical adjustments: If we’re moving a sink location, adding outlets, or running new lines, that work is itemized on the written price. You’ll see every line item before we start.
- Access and floor protection: If your kitchen is on the second floor of a condo or if we’re working around existing flooring you want preserved, it affects the labor time. We name it in the price instead of surprising you later.
Every estimate is free and every price is written before any work begins. Call (728) 203-3270 and we’ll schedule a time to walk your kitchen with you. No pressure, no “today only” pricing, just a real number you can hold us to.
FAQs – Cabinets & Countertops
How much do new cabinets and countertops cost in West Palm Beach?
Most kitchen cabinet and countertop projects in West Palm Beach run between $12,000 and $45,000, with cabinet refacing starting around $8,000 and our Kitchen Remodeling services for full custom kitchens reaching toward $55,000. Your price depends on the cabinet line, the countertop material, and whether plumbing or electrical work is involved. Every project starts with a free in-home walk-through and a written price before any work begins. Call (728) 203-3270 to schedule yours.
Can you replace cabinets and countertops without shutting down my whole kitchen?
Yes, and most of our West Palm Beach projects are done in stages so your family can still use part of the kitchen. Countertop fabrication happens off-site, which means the loudest, dustiest work isn’t happening in your house. We schedule demo and installation around your family’s rhythm, including nap hours and school pickups, and we protect the rest of the house with drop cloths and shoe covers throughout. If you need a temporary cooking station, we’ll help you set one up before the work starts.
Which is better for a West Palm Beach kitchen: quartz or granite?
Quartz is generally the better choice for West Palm Beach kitchens because it’s non-porous, doesn’t need annual sealing, and resists the humidity and heat cycles common in South Florida homes. Granite is a natural stone that requires periodic sealing and can vary from slab to slab. We install quartz from Cambria, Silestone, and Caesarstone most often, but we’ll show you granite and solid surface options too. The decision should fit how messy your kitchen gets and how much maintenance you want to handle. We’ll help you compare both without pushing a preference.
Do you handle the plumbing and electrical work with cabinet and countertop replacement?
Yes, we coordinate all plumbing, electrical, and appliance connections as part of the project. Disconnecting and reconnecting the sink, faucet, dishwasher, and disposal are included in the written price. If you’re moving a sink location, adding an Kitchen Island Installation, or adding outlets, that work is itemized separately so you see exactly what you’re paying for. You don’t need to hire separate trades or manage multiple schedules. We handle it and stand behind it with the 365-Day Done Right Promise.
What brands do you use for cabinets and countertops?
We install cabinets from KraftMaid and Wellborn, and countertops from Cambria, Silestone, and Caesarstone. For sinks and faucets, we work with Kohler, Moen, Grohe, and Blanco. These are brands you can research independently, and their manufacturer warranties stay with the finished kitchen. We don’t push one brand over another. We show you the options, explain the differences in durability and maintenance, and let you choose what fits your home and your budget. Call (728) 203-3270 and we’ll walk you through the choices at your kitchen.
