AfterFull Kitchen Remodeling in Fort Lauderdale, FL
A full kitchen remodel in Fort Lauderdale typically costs $35,000 to $85,000 for a complete gut-and-rebuild, with most mid-range projects landing between $45,000 and $65,000. That covers new cabinetry, countertops, flooring, electrical, plumbing, lighting, and installation, and we deliver a written price before any work starts, so you’ll never see a surprise invoice at the end. Call (754) 354-3720 to schedule a walkthrough and get your number on paper. For a broader look at what’s involved, see our Kitchen Remodeling in Fort Lauderdale page.
Mason Remodeling Co Fort Lauderdale has been doing full kitchen rebuilds since 2004, as part of the Threshold Group family of home-service companies. We gut the room to the studs when the layout needs to change, we replace every surface and fixture, and we handle the permits, the inspections, and the subcontractors so you don’t have to chase anyone. Isaac Pruett, our owner, runs every Fort Lauderdale project personally from first measurement to final walkthrough.
What sets us apart in this market is the Threshold Standard. Every technician who walks through your door is background-checked, identity-verified, and uniformed. You get their name and photo before the visit. They present a photo ID badge at the door when they arrive. If you’re home alone with kids, or you’re retired and careful about who you let in, that matters. You’ll know exactly who is coming, what they look like, and that they’re supposed to be there.
When You Need Full Kitchen Remodeling
Not every kitchen problem calls for a full rebuild. Here’s when it’s the right call:
- Your layout doesn’t work anymore. You’re bumping into the refrigerator when you open the dishwasher, or the island blocks the only path to the back door. That’s a structural problem, not a cosmetic one, and it means moving walls, plumbing, and electrical.
- The cabinets are failing. Water damage under the sink, delaminating doors, hinges that won’t hold adjustment, drawers that fall off their tracks. In Fort Lauderdale’s humidity, particleboard cabinets fail faster than they do up north. Once the boxes themselves are swelling, refacing won’t save them.
- You bought the house and the kitchen is original. A lot of homes in Victoria Park, Rio Vista, and Coral Ridge still have kitchens from the 1980s or 1990s. Old wiring, single-circuit outlets, and plumbing that doesn’t meet current code are all reasons to open the walls.
- You’re planning to stay and you want it done once. If this is your long-term home, a full remodel with quality materials is cheaper over 15 years than two rounds of partial fixes.
- Appliance layout needs a full redo. Going from a 30-inch range to a 36-inch commercial-style range, adding a wall oven, or moving the sink to an island all require new gas lines, electrical circuits, and ventilation. That’s a full remodel, not a swap.
- You saw water or mold. In Fort Lauderdale, a pinhole leak behind a cabinet can go unnoticed for months while it feeds mold in the drywall. If you’ve had a slab leak or a dishwasher overflow, the affected area usually needs to be opened up, dried, and rebuilt.
Our Full Kitchen Remodeling Process
Here’s how a full kitchen remodel works with us, step by step. You’ll know the sequence before we start, and you’ll know the price before we order a single cabinet.
- Walkthrough and measurements. We come to your home, measure every wall, doorway, window, and ceiling height, and talk about how you actually use the kitchen, not just how you want it to look. Isaac Pruett leads this visit himself. No sales script, no pressure.
- Written price and scope. Within a few days, you get a written price that breaks down cabinetry, countertops, plumbing, electrical, flooring, tile, fixtures, and labor. No verbal estimate that grows. Every project, every time. If we need to move a wall, the engineering and permit fees are in the number.
- Material selection. We bring you specification-grade partners: KraftMaid and Wellborn for cabinetry, Cambria, Silestone, and Caesarstone for surfaces, and Kohler, Moen, Toto, and Grohe for fixtures. For windows and doors in the kitchen, we work with ES Windows, ECO Window Systems, CWS, and Mr-Glass, depending on the opening and your budget.
- Demolition and rough-in. We protect the floors and doorways, demo to the studs where needed, and rough in the new electrical, plumbing, and gas lines. All work is done to current Florida Building Code, and we pull permits through the City of Fort Lauderdale as required.
- Build: cabinets, counters, tile, fixtures. Cabinets go in first, then templated countertops, then backsplash, sink, and faucet, then appliances get connected. We handle every trade with our own verified crews.
- Final walkthrough and written guarantee. We walk the space with you, test every drawer, door, outlet, and fixture, and hand you a written guarantee that states exactly what’s covered and for how long: 365 days from the completion date. If a repair or installation fails within that year, the 365-Day Done Right Promise means we make it right at no cost to you.
Full Kitchen Remodeling Pricing in Fort Lauderdale
Fort Lauderdale pricing runs higher than national averages because of permit fees, hurricane-rated window and door requirements in some zones, and the cost of labor in South Florida. Here’s what we see on the projects we bid:
| Scope | Typical Range | What It Includes |
|---|---|---|
| Full remodel, mid-range | $45,000 – $65,000 | Stock or semi-custom cabinets, quartz counters, LVP or tile flooring, new sink and faucet, new lighting, paint, basic backsplash |
| Full remodel, upscale | $70,000 – $110,000 | Custom or semi-custom cabinets, Cambria or Caesarstone counters, designer tile, under-cabinet lighting, gas line extension, premium fixtures |
| Layout change with structural work | $80,000 – $130,000+ | Load-bearing wall removal, beam installation, new window or door openings, full plumbing and electrical relocation |
| Kitchen plus adjacent space | $100,000 – $160,000+ | Full kitchen remodel combined with a family room, dining room, or laundry area as one open plan |
What moves the number most: whether you change the layout, the grade of cabinets, the countertop material, and whether you add structural work. A full kitchen remodel in a 1920s home in Sailboat Bend with original framing costs more to bring to code than a 2000s home in Imperial Point with a straightforward footprint.
We price everything in writing before work starts. No allowances that blow up later, no “we discovered this and now you owe more” conversations. If the number changes, it’s because you changed the scope, not because we missed something.
Call (754) 354-3720 for a free estimate. Isaac Pruett will walk the space, measure it, and put a number in your hand. No obligation, no high-pressure follow-up.
Cabinetry, Surfaces, and Fixtures We Use
We don’t buy from big-box clearance aisles. Every full kitchen remodel we run in Fort Lauderdale uses specification-grade materials that are built to survive South Florida humidity and daily use.
- Cabinetry: KraftMaid and Wellborn. We spec plywood boxes and soft-close hardware as standard, not as upgrades. Particleboard cabinet boxes swell and fail in Fort Lauderdale’s wet season. We don’t install them in full remodels.
- Surfaces: Cambria, Silestone, and Caesarstone quartz. Engineered quartz stands up better than granite in this climate because it’s non-porous and doesn’t need annual sealing.
- Fixtures: Kohler, Moen, Toto, and Grohe. We can pull from any of these lines depending on your style and rough-in dimensions.
- Windows and doors: ES Windows, ECO Window Systems, CWS, and Mr-Glass. If your kitchen remodel includes enlarging a window or replacing a sliding door with impact-rated glass, these are the lines we work with. Many Fort Lauderdale homeowners need impact-rated openings to meet code and insurance requirements.
You don’t have to become an expert on cabinet grading or quartz brands. We’ll narrow the options to what fits your budget and your home, and we’ll tell you plainly when a particular upgrade is worth it and when it isn’t.
Who’s Coming to Your Home
Before any technician arrives, you receive their name and photo. When they show up, they’re wearing a clean, marked uniform and they hand you a photo ID badge at the door. This is the Threshold Standard, and it’s how we’ve operated since 2004.
If you’re a parent home with small children during the day, or you work from home and let contractors in between meetings, this is the part that matters most. You’ll never open the door to a stranger who wasn’t announced, and you’ll never wonder if the person in your kitchen is actually supposed to be there.
Every Mason Remodeling Co Fort Lauderdale location is independently owned and operated, but each one holds to these Threshold Verified standards on every job. It’s not a new policy. It’s how the company has run for over 20 years.
FAQs – Full Kitchen Remodeling
How much does a full kitchen remodel cost in Fort Lauderdale?
A full kitchen remodel in Fort Lauderdale typically costs $45,000 to $85,000 for a mid-range project, and $70,000 to $130,000 or more when you change the layout or add structural work. The exact number depends on cabinet grade, countertop choice, and whether plumbing or electrical need to move. Call (754) 354-3720 for a free written estimate, and we’ll give you a precise figure after a walkthrough.
How long does a full kitchen remodel take?
A full kitchen remodel in Fort Lauderdale takes 6 to 10 weeks from demolition to final walkthrough, depending on cabinet lead times and whether structural work is involved. Custom cabinetry adds 3 to 5 weeks. We’ll give you a schedule in writing before we start, and we’ll tell you up front if an inspection or material delay shifts it.
Is it cheaper to remodel or move?
For most Fort Lauderdale homeowners who like their neighborhood and their floor plan outside the kitchen, remodeling is significantly cheaper than selling and buying a comparable home. A $55,000 kitchen in a home you’ll keep for 10+ years costs less than moving expenses, real estate commissions, and the premium on a move-in-ready house in the same school zone.
Can you match my kitchen to the rest of the house?
Yes. We’ll match the style and finish level of your remodel to the existing trim, doors, and flooring in the rest of your home, and we’ll tell you honestly where a mismatch would cost you more or look wrong later. Homes in Fort Lauderdale neighborhoods like Shady Banks and Croissant Park range from mid-century to modern, and we work with the original architecture rather than fighting it.
Do you handle the permits and inspections?
Yes. We pull all required permits through the City of Fort Lauderdale and schedule every inspection. You don’t have to stand in line at City Hall or figure out which forms apply to your project. If you’re adding square footage or moving walls, we’ll tell you exactly what that adds in cost and time before you decide.
