We’ve worked in Wellington since Rowan Construction Group opened our South Florida dispatch office in Miami, and our crews know the split personality of this market: the dense HOA tracts of Olympia, Versailles, and Paddock Park, and the sprawling equestrian estates out near the Preserve. Both sit on some of the flattest, wettest ground in Palm Beach County, where the water table can sit 12-18 inches below grade. That matters in a kitchen remodel. Moisture wicks through slab foundations here. Cabinets set without a drainage plan rot from below. We’ve seen it. We plan for it.
Our Kitchen Remodeling team serves Wellington homeowners who want a written price before anyone picks up a hammer, a documented photo record of every visit, and a crew that shows up in uniform with background checks already done. That’s standard here, not an upgrade.
Why Rowan Construction Group West Palm Beach Is Wellington’s Preferred Kitchen Remodeling Company
Wellington’s 55+ communities and retirement households are a core part of our local work. We’ve removed load-bearing walls in Olympia kitchens to create single-level aging-in-place layouts. We’ve reconfigured Versailles galley kitchens for zero-threshold access. Grant Rowan built our estimating system on the principle that every homeowner gets a flat written price with a written scope before work starts - Clause 1 of The Haven Standard - and that applies whether we’re remodeling a 1,200-square-foot tract kitchen or a 400-square-foot equestrian estate guest house kitchen.
Our crews are background-checked and uniformed. A live person answers our phones 24/7. Every visit produces a documented photo record that the homeowner receives, included as standard. We don’t do “call for a quote.” The number is on the page. We put it in writing before we start.
Response time to Wellington is typically same-week for estimates, with scheduling coordinated from our Miami office. We know the local permitting landscape: Wellington’s Building Department shares inspection capacity with equestrian construction during polo season, so kitchen remodel permits in the Preserve area can face compressed scheduling from January through April. We plan around that.
Our Kitchen Remodeling Services in Wellington
Full Kitchen Remodeling
A full kitchen remodel in Wellington means gutting to slab, reworking plumbing and electrical, and rebuilding for how the homeowner actually lives. In Wellington’s 55+ communities, that often means aging-in-place design: wider doorways, single-level layouts, blocking for future grab bars, and slip-rated tile. We price full remodels at $14,000-$45,000, with the upper end covering structural changes like load-bearing wall removal with engineered headers and full electrical service upgrades.
Kitchen Design & Layout
Layout changes are where Wellington’s housing stock gets interesting. The CBS slab homes built from the 1970s through the 2000s in Olympia and Versailles often have galley kitchens separated from living space by a load-bearing wall. Removing that wall opens the floor plan but requires a permit, an engineered header, and inspection sign-off. We design these layouts with the permit path built in, not as an afterthought. Our design fee is included in the written quote.
Cabinets & Countertops
We source cabinets from KraftMaid and Wellborn, with quartz and granite countertops from Cambria and Caesarstone. In Wellington’s humid climate, we specify cabinet materials rated for high-moisture environments and verify subfloor moisture levels before installation. Cabinet installation runs $4,000-$13,000; countertops $2,000-$6,500.
Tile & Flooring
Slip-rated tile is non-negotiable for aging-in-place kitchens in Wellington. We specify coefficient-of-friction ratings appropriate for wet conditions and install waterproofing membrane at slab level to block moisture migration. In Paddock Park and similar tracts, we’ve replaced vinyl flooring with porcelain tile that can handle both humidity and wheelchair traffic. Tile and flooring work runs $800-$2,500 for backsplash; full kitchen flooring is priced per square foot in the written quote.
Small & Partial Kitchen Remodels
Not every Wellington kitchen needs a full gut. Partial remodels - cabinet refacing, countertop replacement, backsplash update, appliance swap - run $9,000-$20,000. We did one in Olympia: kept the cabinet boxes, refaced with shaker doors, swapped laminate for quartz, and added under-cabinet LED. The homeowner got a written price of $11,400 before we started. No surprises.
Kitchen Island Installation
Islands in Wellington kitchens often serve as aging-in-place workhorses: seated prep space, storage at reachable height, and casual dining without navigating a separate room. We engineer islands for the existing slab condition, accounting for moisture barriers and proper anchoring. Island installation: $3,000-$10,000.

BeforeAfterTrusted Brands We Service in Wellington
We maintain sourcing relationships with fifty-plus vetted brands, which lets us put honest numbers in our Wellington quotes rather than inflated allowances. For kitchen work, that means KraftMaid and Wellborn cabinets, Cambria and Caesarstone countertops, Kohler and Toto fixtures. For hardscaping adjacent to kitchen additions or outdoor kitchen builds, we stock Tremron and Techo-Bloc pavers with local distributor relationships that keep lead times short. We don’t quote a brand and then substitute. The spec in the written price is the spec that gets installed.
Common Kitchen Remodeling Problems We See in Wellington Homes
- Moisture wicking through slab foundations. Wellington’s water table sits 12-18 inches below grade in many neighborhoods. Cabinets installed without a moisture barrier or drainage plan absorb that water from below. The subfloor softens. The cabinets delaminate. We test slab moisture before we quote and specify appropriate mitigation - vapor barrier, sleeper system, or engineered subfloor - so the remodel lasts.
- Load-bearing wall removal without permits. In HOA tracts like Versailles and Olympia, homeowners sometimes hire unpermitted work to “save time.” Then they can’t produce inspection sign-off at resale. We pull permits for every structural change, document the engineered header, and deliver the signed inspection record with the final photo package.
- Aging-in-place treated as cosmetic only. A fresh coat of paint and new counters don’t make a kitchen safe for aging in place. Door width, turning radius for mobility devices, blocking for grab bars in adjacent baths, and slip-rated surfaces all require intentional design. We plan these elements in the initial layout, not as add-ons.
- Polo-season permitting bottlenecks. From January through April, Wellington’s Building Department handles equestrian construction permits alongside residential work. Inspection scheduling compresses. We file kitchen permits in October and November to avoid the crunch, and we advise Wellington homeowners to do the same.

FAQs - Kitchen Remodeling in Wellington
No. Any load-bearing wall removal in Wellington requires a building permit, engineered header specifications, and inspection sign-off. We pull that permit as part of every quote that includes structural changes. The inspection record becomes part of your documentation package, which you’ll need at resale. Call (561) 475-3903 and we’ll walk through the permit path for your specific layout.
Wellington’s water table, at 12-18 inches below grade in many neighborhoods, creates chronic moisture pressure on slab foundations. Without a vapor barrier or drainage plan, that moisture wicks upward through the slab and destroys cabinets, flooring, and subfloor materials from below. We test slab moisture before quoting and specify mitigation in every Wellington kitchen remodel. Ignoring this is the most common cause of premature failure we see in local remodels.
At minimum: zero-threshold entry if adjacent to a garage or exterior door, 36-inch door widths for mobility device access, slip-rated flooring with adequate coefficient of friction, lever-style hardware, task and ambient lighting on separate switches, and blocking in adjacent bath walls for future grab bars. We design these into the initial layout rather than retrofitting later. The cost difference is minimal when planned upfront; expensive when added after.
Yes, if the work includes electrical, plumbing, or structural changes. Most Wellington HOAs also require architectural review before permitting. We handle both tracks: HOA submission, city permit pull, and inspection scheduling. Skipping either leaves you without sign-off at resale and potential HOA fines. Our written quotes include permit costs and timeline.
Polo season runs January through April, and Wellington’s Building Department sees increased permit volume from equestrian construction during this period. Inspection scheduling compresses. We recommend filing kitchen permits by November for January starts. If you’re already in season, we can still schedule but build extra time for inspection windows. Call (561) 475-3903 and we’ll check current department lead times.
