Fast, Reliable Kitchen Remodeling Across Greenacres
Kitchen remodeling in Greenacres means working with CBS construction, tight lots, and homes where the original plumbing has been in the ground since the Carter administration. If you’re also considering updates beyond the kitchen, see our Bathroom Remodeling in Greenacres. A full kitchen remodel here typically runs $14,000 – $45,000, and the job almost always involves more than cabinets and counters. We know Greenacres because we work here every week. Call us at (728) 203-3270 for a written price before any work starts, and we’ll walk you through exactly what your 1970s or 1980s home will need.
Our Kitchen Remodeling team handles everything from cabinet installation to full layout changes, and when you call, a live person picks up. Not a voicemail box. Not a bot.
Why Elmstead Remodeling West Palm Beach Is Greenacres’s Preferred Kitchen Remodeling Company
Greenacres homeowners call us because we plan for what their houses actually throw at us. The cast-iron drain lines, the carport staging, the party walls on duplexes and villas. We don’t discover these problems mid-job and hand you a change order with a shrug. We name them in the written price before demolition starts. Graham Stein, who leads our Greenacres work, has walked enough of these 60-foot-wide lots to know where the dumpster goes and where it doesn’t.
The Cedarwell Care Promise governs every project we run. Shoe covers and drop cloths on every visit. Quiet tools during nap and school hours where possible. Pet-safe products where there’s a choice. And before the crew leaves, we photograph the clean-up and show it to you. That photo is proof, not a promise.
When a Greenacres family calls us, we schedule a walkthrough, measure the kitchen, check the slab for signs of past leaks, and write a line-item price. Then we pull permits, coordinate inspections, and keep the neighbors informed. That’s the job. Call (728) 203-3270.
We also serve Greenacres homeowners with the 365-Day Done Right Promise on every completed project: if it’s not done right, we make it right.
Styles & brands we work with
Cabinet Installation in Greenacres
Cabinet installation in Greenacres runs $4,000 – $13,000 depending on linear footage, cabinet line, and whether we’re refacing existing boxes or hanging new ones. In older CBS homes, the first thing we check is the wall behind the old cabinets. Concrete block holds moisture, and after forty years of Florida humidity, you sometimes find soft drywall or furring strips that need replacement before new cabinets go up.
Refacing vs. Full Replacement
When the cabinet boxes are sound, refacing saves thousands and keeps the kitchen usable faster. We install new doors, drawer fronts, and veneers from KraftMaid or Wellborn, and the finished product carries the manufacturer’s warranty. When the boxes are swollen or the layout doesn’t work anymore, full replacement is the cleaner path.
Sealing Against Humidity
Greenacres humidity never quits. We back-prime all exposed cabinet ends and use moisture-rated adhesives on every install, because a cabinet that looks fine in January can swell by August if it wasn’t sealed right. That’s a local detail generic installers skip.
Countertop Installation in Greenacres
Countertop installation in Greenacres runs $2,000 – $6,500 for most kitchens, depending on square footage and material. Quartz from Cambria or Silestone and granite are the two most common choices here, and both hold up well to the sun and humidity, but quartz needs no sealing and resists staining from the citrus and coffee that run through a busy family kitchen.
Template and Cut on a Tight Lot
Our countertop fabricators template digitally, then cut off-site. That matters in Greenacres, where there’s no room to park a wet saw in the yard and cut stone next to the neighbor’s fence. The slab arrives pre-cut, the install is quieter, and the dust stays out of your house.
Slab Leak Check Before You Set Stone
If we’re installing counters over a sink wall or an island with plumbing, we check the drain lines in the slab before the stone goes down. Replacing a countertop on top of a leaking cast-iron drain means tearing out brand-new work a month later. We test first, then install. That sequence is non-negotiable on our kitchen jobs in Greenacres.
Trusted Brands We Service in Greenacres
We work with cabinet makers and material suppliers homeowners can research by name: KraftMaid and Wellborn for cabinets, Cambria and Silestone for quartz, Kohler and Moen for fixtures. No mystery brands. No off-label imports with no warranty. For Greenacres customers who ask about panelized or prefabricated options, we’ve worked with Plant Prefab for accessory structures and Tuff Shed for storage on tight lots where a traditional stick-built addition isn’t viable. If a manufacturer warranty travels with the product, we make sure you get it in writing.
Common Kitchen Remodeling Problems We See in Greenacres Homes
- Corroded cast-iron drain lines under the slab. The high water table in Greenacres eats cast-iron from the outside in, and by the time you open a kitchen wall for a remodel, the pipe under the sink may already be failing. We recommend a hydrostatic test before demolition when the home still has original plumbing.
- Carport staging with no room for materials. Many Greenacres homes have attached carports and driveways barely wide enough for one car. A contractor who doesn’t plan the material laydown ends up blocking the shared walkway or spilling debris into the neighbor’s yard. We stage deliberately and keep access clear.
- Party-wall stress on attached units. Duplexes and villas along Jog Road and Melaleuca Lane share walls. Vibration from cabinet demolition or countertop cutting can crack stucco on the adjoining unit. We photograph the shared wall before work starts and document the condition in writing.
- Permit collisions on small sites. When three trades are crawling over a 1,200-square-foot lot, inspections stack up fast. Missed rough-in sign-offs delay final inspection, and final inspection delays your punch list. We sequence permits so the inspector only makes one trip where possible.

Every Greenacres project gets a written line-item price before work starts. No estimate that grows after the crew shows up.

On a 60-foot-wide lot off Jog Road, we staged a full kitchen remodel with a 10-yard dumpster in the driveway and a material laydown in the front yard, keeping the shared side walkway clear for the neighbor’s daily trash rollout. We pulled a permit for load-bearing wall removal, coordinated rough-in inspections before drywall, and wrote the change order for the slab leak repair into the draw schedule after our plumber exposed the corroded cast-iron under the sink wall.
Key Takeaways for Greenacres Homeowners
- Budget $14,000 – $45,000 for a full kitchen remodel in Greenacres, and expect plumbing surprises if the home still has original cast-iron.
- Ask for a hydrostatic test before demolition if your home was built before 1990.
- Insist on a written price that names the permit fees, the dumpster, and the slab leak contingency before work starts.

FAQs About Kitchen Remodeling in Greenacres
We recommend a hydrostatic test before we open any kitchen wall, because original cast-iron under a Greenacres slab has usually been corroding in the high water table for decades. If the test comes back clean, we protect the existing lines and build over them. If it doesn’t, we scope the pipe, locate the failure, and write a change order for the re-pipe into the draw schedule before any new cabinetry or flooring goes in. You’ll know the number before the plumber cuts concrete. Call (728) 203-3270 to talk through your specific home.
Greenacres follows Palm Beach County noise rules, which generally limit construction noise to daytime hours during the week. We keep noisy work like demolition and cutting inside those windows, and we hold quiet tasks like painting, cabinet assembly, and hardware installation for the later part of the day when children are home from school. If your family has a nap schedule, tell us during the walkthrough. We’ll plan around it.
Almost always yes. Removing a load-bearing wall in a CBS home requires a structural permit and an engineer’s letter, and Greenacres inspections for tie-down and strapping compliance are not optional. If the wall is carrying roof load, we size a beam, pull the permit, and schedule the inspection before drywall. We don’t do unpermitted structural work. The liability is yours as the homeowner, and the resale disclosure will follow you.
Yes, and that’s the most common kitchen remodel we do in Greenacres. We demo down to the block, assess the furring strips and drywall, repair anything that’s soft from humidity, then install new cabinets and counters over a sound surface. Cabinet installation runs $4,000 – $13,000 and countertop installation runs $2,000 – $6,500. The block walls stay. The kitchen still transforms.
We plan the material laydown before the crew arrives. On tight lots, that often means a 10-yard dumpster in the driveway, a pre-cut countertop delivery that arrives the morning of installation, and cabinet boxes staged in the garage or carport in a way that keeps the shared walkway clear. We photograph the staging plan and share it with you, and if the neighbor needs daily access to roll out their trash, we build that into the plan. Then we hold ourselves to it. Estimates are free. Call (728) 203-3270.
