Boral Kitchen Remodeling: The Fort Lauderdale Owner’s Guide
If you have a Boral kitchen product that’s failing or needs matching during a remodel, a Boral kitchen remodeling project in Fort Lauderdale typically runs $14,000 to $45,000 installed, with cabinet-focused work starting around $4,000 and full kitchen replacements climbing from there. Mason Remodeling Co Fort Lauderdale stocks and installs Boral-compatible components, and we can often match existing profiles the same week you call. You’ll know something’s wrong when a cabinet door won’t close square, a drawer binds at the halfway point, or you notice the finish lifting where South Florida humidity works its way into the edges.
The frustrating part for most homeowners is that Boral products are built to last, so when one component fails, it usually means a specific stress point finally gave out, not the whole kitchen. That’s what we dig into on this page: what actually goes wrong, what it costs to fix or replace in Fort Lauderdale, and how to keep the project from turning into a surprise.
Key takeaways:
- Full Boral kitchen remodels in Fort Lauderdale run $14,000 – $45,000 based on scope and material match
- We identify your exact Boral profile before pricing anything, no guesswork on trim or finish matching
- Mason Remodeling Co Fort Lauderdale is an independent service provider, not affiliated with Boral
- Every job gets a written price before we start, and our 365-Day Done Right Promise covers the work for a year
Which Boral Models This Applies To
Boral’s kitchen product line spans several series, and the compatibility rules aren’t always obvious. The biggest gotcha we see in Fort Lauderdale kitchens is profile matching: Boral cabinet doors and drawer fronts use specific edge profiles and reveal measurements, and a door from a different Boral series will sit just off enough to catch your eye every time you walk past. Before we promise a match, we pull a hinge, check the door stamp or back-label, and measure the bore and reveal so the replacement part lines up exactly.
On the OEM versus aftermarket question for Boral specifically: Boral hardware and trim are worth paying for in original form because the finishes are applied to a consistent substrate. An aftermarket drawer slide or hinge can work mechanically, but if you’re replacing a door or a finished panel, a color-match aftermarket piece from a different manufacturer will age differently under Florida sun and humidity. In Fort Lauderdale, that’s not a theoretical concern, it’s something you can watch happen over two or three summers. We also stock parts for KraftMaid, Cambria, and Silestone kitchens, so if your remodel crosses brands, we handle the matching across the whole job rather than bouncing you between specialists.

Signs Your Boral Kitchen Remodeling Is Failing
- Door corners lifting or darkening at the edges. This is moisture entry at the seam. In Fort Lauderdale’s wet season, even a small finish crack at the door’s edge pulls humidity into the substrate, and the corner starts to swell or darken before you see it from across the room.
- Drawers binding at the same point every time. The slide or glide has worn unevenly or the drawer box has shifted out of square. Boral drawer boxes are sturdy, but the slide takes all the load, and a worn slide makes the drawer feel like it’s fighting you.
- Hinges sagging so doors don’t line up. Screw holes strip over time, especially on heavy Boral doors that get opened multiple times daily. You’ll see the door drop and the gap at the top grow wider than at the bottom.
- Soft-close mechanism stopped working. The damper inside the hinge or slide has failed. The door still closes, but it slams, and every family member notices within a day.
- Finish fading unevenly near windows or cooktops. Florida UV and heat exposure breaks down some Boral finish lines faster near glass and heat sources. You’ll see a color difference between the upper cabinets near a window and the lowers across the room.

AfterReplacement Cost & What’s Included
Kitchen remodeling in Fort Lauderdale with Boral components lands between $14,000 and $45,000 for a full kitchen, with the spread driven mostly by how much of the existing layout you’re keeping. A smaller galley or condo kitchen typically falls between $9,000 and $20,000 when you’re preserving footprint and updating cabinets, counters, and fixtures. Cabinet installation alone runs $4,000 to $13,000, countertops add $2,000 to $6,500, and a new kitchen island runs $3,000 to $10,000 depending on size and electrical work.
What’s included in our pricing: the Boral-matched components, all installation labor, hardware, finish work, and a written line-item quote before anything is ordered. If we find damage behind the drywall or under the floor, we tell you what we found, what it takes to fix it, and what it will cost, before we touch a thing. That’s Isaac Pruett’s rule on every Fort Lauderdale job, and it’s not waived for anyone.
DIY or Call Us?
Some things you can safely handle yourself: tightening a hinge screw that’s come loose, realigning a door with the adjustment screws, or cleaning a soft-close mechanism that’s gummed up from cooking grease. Those fixes take a screwdriver and ten minutes, and you’re not risking anything by trying.
Where DIY goes sideways on Boral kitchens is finish matching and structural work. Once a door’s finish is lifting from moisture, a touch-up kit won’t stop the problem underneath, it just hides it for a few weeks. And if you’re dealing with a sagging cabinet that pulled away from the wall, that’s a load-bearing issue with the cabinet box or its mounting rail, not something a homeowner should brace with longer screws and hope. For anything involving gas lines behind the range or electrical for an island, that’s licensed-trade territory, period. If you’re not sure which category your problem falls into, call us at (754) 354-3720. We’ll tell you straight whether it’s a ten-minute fix or a job that needs a crew.
FAQs
Boral cabinets typically last 15 to 25 years in Fort Lauderdale’s climate, but the finish lifespan runs shorter, usually 8 to 12 years, before UV and humidity start to take a visible toll. Hard-use items like hinges and slides often need replacement at the 7-to-10-year mark even when the cabinet boxes and doors are still solid. Call (754) 354-3720 and we can tell you whether your specific issue is worth a repair or a full replacement.
Yes, in many cases. If the door itself is square and the core isn’t swollen, we can repair the finish, replace the hinge, or re-bore the mounting holes to get it closing true again. When the substrate has absorbed enough moisture to swell, a repair won’t hold long-term, and replacement is the honest call. We’ll show you the difference on site, and the estimate is free.
Most Boral kitchen remodels in Fort Lauderdale run 3 to 8 weeks from the day we start demolition, depending on scope, permit timing, and whether we’re moving plumbing or electrical. A cabinet-and-counter refresh can be done in 2 to 3 weeks. Your written quote includes a schedule, and we hold to it.
We stock common Boral hinges, slides, and soft-close mechanisms on our trucks, and we special-order doors, drawer fronts, and finished panels to exact match. Boral finish lines vary by series and batch, so we verify the code before ordering rather than trusting a photo. Most parts arrive within 5 to 10 business days in Fort Lauderdale.
If you’re pricing a Boral kitchen fix or a full remodel, call (754) 354-3720 for a straight answer and a written estimate. You’ll know who’s coming, what it costs, and what’s covered before you decide anything.
