Wellborn Kitchen Remodeling: The West Palm Beach Owner’s Guide
Wellborn kitchen remodeling in West Palm Beach typically runs $14,000-$45,000 for a full project, with cabinet installation alone at $4,000-$13,000 depending on series and layout. We stock Wellborn-compatible components across the Aspire, Premier, and Estate lines, and we carry common hardware, hinge sets, and drawer-box assemblies on our trucks. Most West Palm Beach homeowners discover their cabinets need attention when drawer glides stick in the humidity, soft-close hinges lose their damping, or a sink-base panel swells from the irrigation runoff that pools against stucco homes here.
Which Wellborn Models This Applies To
Wellborn organizes its cabinetry into three series, and the parts differ in ways that matter for replacement.
- Aspire: The entry line uses 3/4-inch solid wood drawers with standard 100-pound-rated undermount glides. Hinge cups are 35mm, Blum-compatible. If your hinge is clicking, the cup depth is the first spec to verify before ordering.
- Premier: Upgraded soft-close hinges and full-extension dovetail drawers. The soft-close piston is a replaceable cartridge, but the mounting plate hole pattern differs from Aspire by 2mm. We’ve seen homeowners buy the wrong plate and wallow out the screw holes.
- Estate: Full custom with framed inset doors. Hinges are concealed Euro-style with a 9mm overlay spec. The hinge arm length varies by door thickness, and Estate uses a thicker 7/8-inch panel. Measure twice, or the door won’t seat flush.
Every Wellborn cabinet ships with a serial sticker inside the door frame. The first three digits identify the series, the next four are the plant date, and the suffix indicates the original finish code. That finish code matters in West Palm Beach, where the UV-stable lacquers used after 2019 resist the south Florida sun better than earlier formulations. We keep a cross-reference chart for discontinued finishes, and we source OEM hardware through Wellborn’s dealer network. For hinges and glides, we also stock Salice and Blum aftermarket equivalents that meet the same cycle-test ratings at a lower per-unit cost. Rowan Construction Group West Palm Beach is an independent service provider, not affiliated with Wellborn.
Signs Your Wellborn Kitchen Remodeling Is Failing

- Drawers stick or sag. The glide rollers degrade from the salt air that penetrates even inland West Palm Beach homes. In the Estates at Wellington, we’ve replaced glides that tested at 40% of their rated load capacity after five years.
- Soft-close hinges slam. The hydraulic cartridge loses viscosity in heat. It’s a $12 part, but the wrong viscosity rating for your series and the door will drift open or close too slowly.
- Door faces warp or delaminate. Steam from a poorly vented range hood saturates the MDF core. Wellborn’s solid wood center panels resist this, but the veneered versions in the Aspire line will telegraph the swelling within eighteen months.
- Sink base shows water staining at the toe kick. The irrigation systems in West Palm Beach neighborhoods like Flamingo Park run at dawn, and overspray against the foundation wicks up through slab gaps. The cabinet floor rots from below while the interior looks fine.
- Corner lazy susan binds or chatters. The polymer bearing races collect grit from beach traffic. We’ve found sand in the mechanism of homes two miles from the Intracoastal.

The range depends on three factors: whether we’re matching existing finish or replacing the run, how many cabinets need structural repair versus hardware swap, and whether the layout changes enough to require electrical or plumbing relocation. Every quote we write in West Palm Beach lists parts, labor, and permit costs as separate line items. Under Clause 1 of The Haven Standard, that written price is fixed. No change order moves forward without your signature, which is how we’ve kept 4,000-plus projects within a few percent of the original number since 2007. The 365-Day Done Right Promise covers the installation; hardware carries the manufacturer’s warranty.
DIY or Call Us?

There’s a clear line between what a homeowner can handle and where a crew saves money.
Checking it yourself: Verify the serial sticker location, photograph the failing part, and measure the overlay. For hinge cartridges, the swap is two screws if you have the right part number. Drawer glides are manageable if the cabinet box is square and you own a level.
Where DIY goes wrong: Estate series inset doors require shimming to 1/32-inch tolerance, or the reveal looks amateur. Sink base floor replacement means removing the cabinet, and that’s where the irrigation damage often extends into the wall plate. We’ve opened cabinets in West Palm Beach homes where the subfloor was punky six inches past the visible stain. Also, any electrical relocation for a new layout needs a permit in Palm Beach County, and the inspector will flag unlicensed work.
We’re not here to talk you out of trying. We’re here to finish what you started, or to do it right the first time. Call (561) 475-3903 to schedule your free estimate.
FAQs
Expect 20-25 years for solid wood boxes with proper ventilation, but hardware wears faster. The salt air and humidity cycle means glides and hinges typically need attention at year 8-12, sooner if you’re near the water. Call (561) 475-3903 for an exact quote on refresh work - estimates are free.
Yes, if the box is structurally sound. We regularly reface Aspire and Premier lines, replace drawer boxes, and swap hardware while keeping the original cabinet frames. Estate series with water damage to the inset frame usually needs replacement. Call (561) 475-3903 for an exact quote - estimates are free.
A hardware refresh takes one day. Full cabinet replacement with countertops runs 2-3 weeks, plus permit lead time in Palm Beach County. We schedule so your kitchen isn’t torn up longer than necessary. Call (561) 475-3903 to schedule your free estimate.
We carry Blum and Salice hinge cartridges, full-extension glides rated to 100 pounds, and common drawer-box dimensions. Series-specific Estate hardware and discontinued finishes we order with a 5-7 day lead time. Call (561) 475-3903 to confirm what’s in stock for your model.
We also stock parts for KraftMaid, and we install countertops in Cambria and Silestone.
