AfterFull Kitchen Remodeling in West Palm Beach, FL
A full kitchen remodel in West Palm Beach typically costs between $45,000 and $95,000 for a complete gut-and-rebuild, with mid-range projects landing around $60,000 to $75,000. Our crews at Elmstead Remodeling West Palm Beach handle everything from demolition to final hardware, and we hand you a written price before any work starts. If you’re weighing a partial refresh against a full overhaul, our Kitchen Remodeling in West Palm Beach page walks through the differences. For now, here’s what a full remodel actually involves, what it costs in this market, and how we keep your home livable while the work happens. Call (728) 203-3270 any time, day or night, and a person answers.
When You Need Full Kitchen Remodeling
Some kitchens need new cabinet hardware. Others need to be taken down to the studs. Here’s what pushes a West Palm Beach kitchen into full-remodel territory:
- Cabinet boxes are failing. If the cabinet frames are swollen from humidity, delaminating, or pulling away from the walls, refacing won’t hold. In neighborhoods like Flamingo Park and El Cid, where homes date to the 1920s and 1950s, we regularly open walls and find framing that predates modern moisture barriers.
- The layout doesn’t work for how your family actually lives. A closed-off galley kitchen in a 1970s ranch off Forest Hill Boulevard feels cramped when two kids and a dog are moving through it. Full remodeling lets you open the wall to the dining area and gain a peninsula for homework and breakfast.
- Plumbing or electrical needs substantial upgrades. Older homes in Grandview Heights and Southland Park often have galvanized supply lines and insufficient circuits for modern appliances. When the walls are open, that’s the time to replace them correctly.
- Flooring issues run under the cabinets. Termite damage and slab moisture are real concerns in our area. A full remodel addresses what’s underneath, not just what’s visible.
- Appliances are moving to new locations. Relocating a range or sink means running new gas, water, or 220V lines. That’s structural work, not a cosmetic update.
- You plan to stay in the home for five or more years. A full remodel lets you choose every surface, and the investment pays back in daily use, not just resale.
Our Full Kitchen Remodeling Process
We follow a set sequence so you know what happens each week. Here’s the process our West Palm Beach crews use on every full kitchen remodel in West Palm Beach, FL:
- In-home walkthrough and written scope. Graham Stein or a project lead walks the kitchen with you, measures, checks the plumbing and electrical, and asks about how your family uses the space. Then you get a written price, not a range that balloons later.
- Material selection with named brands. You choose cabinets from KraftMaid or Wellborn, countertops from Cambria, Silestone, or Caesarstone, and fixtures from Kohler, Moen, or Blanco. Every vendor has a manufacturer warranty you can verify independently.
- Demolition and protection. We lay drop cloths on every floor path our crew walks, put shoe covers on every pair of boots, and seal off the work zone with plastic sheeting. The rest of your house stays clean.
- Rough-in and structural work. This is plumbing, electrical, drywall, and any wall removal. We run quiet tools during nap and school hours where possible, and we ask before moving anything.
- Installation and finish. Cabinets, countertops, tile, fixtures, paint, and flooring go in. Each trade is scheduled deliberately, so you’re not waiting weeks between phases.
- Walkthrough and clean-up photo. Before we consider the job done, the crew cleans the space, walks you through the finished kitchen, and takes a photo of the clean-up. You get that photo, and your 365-Day Done Right Promise starts that day.

We’ll walk the space with you and give a written price before any work starts, so you’re never guessing. Estimates are free. Call (728) 203-3270 to schedule the walkthrough.
Why Families in West Palm Beach Choose Elmstead Remodeling
We’re a Cedarwell company, founded in 2005, and every project runs under the Cedarwell Care Promise. That means the same standards apply whether we’re doing a full kitchen remodel in South End or a bathroom update in Northwood Hills. The C.A.R.E. values guide the work: Clean up like it’s our own home, Ask before we move or touch anything, Respect the family’s time and quiet hours, and Explain the price before the work. We name those values because they’re specific behaviors, not slogans. The drop cloths go down before the demo starts. The shoe covers are on at the door. We ask before moving a pet’s food bowl or a child’s stepstool.
One thing that sets us apart in this market: the 365-Day Done Right Promise. If something isn’t right after the job is complete, we make it right. That promise is stamped on every project, and it’s the longest-standing post-project commitment in our service area. No other contractor we know of in Palm Beach County puts that in writing for a full year.
We also answer the phone. A live person, 24/7. Not a voicemail box, not an automated system, not a next-business-day callback. When your kitchen is mid-remodel and a question comes up at 8:00 at night, you call and a person picks up. That matters more than most people realize until they’re two weeks into a project with another contractor and can’t get a call back.
What a Full Kitchen Remodel Means for Families with Kids and Pets
If you have children and pets, a kitchen design and layout project isn’t just a construction timeline. It’s your family’s daily life. We plan around that reality. Here’s what that looks like on our West Palm Beach projects:
- Quiet tools during rest hours. We schedule demolition and loud cutting around nap and school hours where possible. That’s a Cedarwell Care Promise standard, not a favor.
- Pet-safe product choices where available. Low-VOC adhesives, low-odor paints, and sealed surfaces are part of the conversation from the start.
- Drop cloths and shoe covers on every visit. Your floors stay protected. Not charged as an add-on. Included on every job.
- We ask before moving anything. Dog crates, high chairs, the basket of soccer cleats by the back door. Nothing moves without your okay.
- A clean-up photo before we leave. Every day, not just at the final walkthrough. You see proof the home was left right.
Choosing Materials for a West Palm Beach Kitchen
Our climate shapes material choices more than most people expect. Humidity, salt air, and termite pressure are all factors in West Palm Beach. Here’s how we guide kitchen island installation and other material selection:
- Cabinets: KraftMaid and Wellborn both offer plywood box construction that holds up better than particleboard in humid environments. Their finishes come with manufacturer warranties you can verify yourself.
- Countertops: Cambria, Silestone, and Caesarstone quartz are non-porous, so they resist staining from citrus, wine, and cooking oils, which matters in a kitchen that sees daily use. They never need sealing.
- Fixtures and sinks: Kohler, Moen, and Blanco all manufacture in finishes that withstand salt air better than budget alternatives. Their warranties travel with the finished project.
- Flooring: We recommend tile or luxury vinyl in kitchens because humidity causes hardwood to cup and gap in our climate. If you want hardwood, we’ll talk about engineered options and what to expect over time.
Scheduling and Timelines for a Full Kitchen Remodel
A full kitchen remodel in West Palm Beach typically takes 6 to 10 weeks from demolition to final walkthrough, depending on the scope, the age of the home, and material lead times. Custom cabinets from KraftMaid or Wellborn can take 4 to 6 weeks to arrive after templating, which usually sets the longest pole in the tent. We give you a written schedule with the written price, and we update you as each phase completes. If you need to sequence around a school break or a holiday, we’ll plan for that from the first conversation. Call (728) 203-3270 and we’ll talk through your timeline.
What to Check Before You Hire Any Kitchen Remodeler in West Palm Beach
We’re not the only contractor in Palm Beach County. Here’s what we tell homeowners to check before they sign anything with anyone:
- Is the price written and fixed? If the contractor won’t put a written price in front of you before work starts, walk away. Budget “estimates” that grow after demo day are common, and they’re avoidable.
- Are the crews background-checked? You should know who’s walking through your door every morning. We send background-checked, uniformed technicians on every job.
- What’s the post-project commitment? A 90-day warranty is standard. Our 365-Day Done Right Promise is not. Ask any contractor what happens on day 200 if something fails.
- Do they answer the phone? Call the number on a Saturday evening. If you get voicemail, that tells you what the middle of your project will feel like.
- Will they name their material brands? “Quality cabinets” is not a material specification. KraftMaid and Wellborn are. You should be able to research every brand by name and verify the warranty independently.
FAQs – Full Kitchen Remodeling
How much does a full kitchen remodel cost in West Palm Beach?
A full kitchen remodel in West Palm Beach typically costs between $45,000 and $95,000, with most mid-range projects landing around $60,000 to $75,000 depending on cabinet line, countertop material, and whether walls move. Get a written price specific to your kitchen by calling (728) 203-3270. Estimates are free and there is no obligation.
How long does a full kitchen remodel take?
Most full kitchen remodels in West Palm Beach take 6 to 10 weeks from demo to walkthrough. Custom cabinet lead times from KraftMaid and Wellborn usually set the longest phase at 4 to 6 weeks after templating. We give you a written schedule with your written price, and we update you weekly as phases complete. Call (728) 203-3270 to talk about your timeline.
Is it cheaper to repair or replace my kitchen?
If your cabinet boxes are sound and the layout works, refacing or repair can cost significantly less than a full remodel, often $15,000 to $30,000 in West Palm Beach. If the boxes are failing, the layout doesn’t work, or plumbing and electrical need major updates, repairing piecemeal usually costs more over time than a full remodel done once. We’ll walk your kitchen with you and give you an honest recommendation, not just the most expensive option. Call (728) 203-3270 to set up the walkthrough.
Can you work around my family’s schedule during the remodel?
Yes. We run quiet tools during nap and school hours where possible, we ask before moving anything, and we’ll sequence the work around school breaks or holidays when we plan the schedule from the first conversation. The Cedarwell Care Promise includes respecting your family’s time and quiet hours as a written standard, not a request. Call (728) 203-3270 and we’ll talk through what your schedule requires.
