AfterFast, Reliable Kitchen Remodeling Across Greenacres
A full kitchen remodel in Greenacres, FL typically runs $14,000-$45,000 depending on scope, and most projects take 4-8 weeks from permit to final inspection. If your home was built between the 1970s and early 1990s, expect to find pre-Hurricane Andrew construction conditions behind the cabinets that a proper quote should account for before demo day. Call (561) 475-3903 to schedule your free estimate, and we’ll walk your home with you, point out what the walls are likely hiding, and put a written price in your hand before anyone picks up a tool.
We’re Rowan Construction Group, and our Kitchen Remodeling crews work Greenacres regularly - from the Sherwood Lakes subdivisions off Jog Road to the garden condos near Lake Worth Road. Dispatch and scheduling run through our Miami office, but the crew that shows up knows the local permit landscape: Palm Beach County building codes, city of Greenacres inspections, and the Lake Worth Drainage District layer that out-of-area contractors routinely miss. That local permit fluency matters because a stalled permit is a stalled kitchen, and we’ve seen too many homeowners learn about LWDD easements the hard way.
Why Rowan Construction Group West Palm Beach Is Greenacres’s Preferred Kitchen Remodeling Company
We’ve delivered 4,000-plus projects since 2007, every one with a written price before work started and a documented photo record when the crew left. In Greenacres specifically, that discipline shows up in how we handle the surprises that come standard in this housing stock.
Greenacres homes built in the 1980s and early 1990s - the concrete block structures that dominate neighborhoods like Sherwood Lakes and the areas along Purdy Lane - were built to pre-Hurricane Andrew codes. When we open walls, we regularly find aluminum branch wiring, undersized load-bearing headers, and missing roof-to-wall hurricane strapping. We don’t treat these as change-order gotchas. Under Clause 1 of The Haven Standard, we build inspection-backed allowances into the original contract, price them in writing before demo, and get your signature before we touch anything beyond the agreed scope. That’s why our projects finish within a few percent of the number you agreed to.
Our crews are background-checked and uniformed; a live person answers calls 24/7; and every visit produces a documented photo record included as standard, not an upgrade. The 365-Day Done Right Promise is printed on every page of our contract, backed by a terms page you can read before you sign. We’re not selling enthusiasm. We’re selling a documented record.
Grant Rowan has led this operation since founding it in 2007, and the administrative discipline that keeps costs predictable is the same discipline that attracted Haven’s acquisition interest. That system runs on every Kitchen Remodeling in Greenacres job we take.
Our Kitchen Remodeling Services in Greenacres
Full Kitchen Remodeling
A full kitchen remodel in Greenacres means gutting to the studs, updating mechanicals, and rebuilding to current Palm Beach County code. In a typical Sherwood Lakes CBS home from 1985, that often means replacing aluminum branch wiring with copper, upgrading the electrical panel for GFCI and AFCI protection, and installing proper roof-to-wall strapping where we open the building envelope. We pull all permits, schedule county inspections, and coordinate the final sign-off card before we hand you the keys. Typical range: $14,000-$45,000.
Kitchen Design & Layout
Greenacres kitchens from the 1970s and 1980s were built for a different cooking style - smaller appliances, less counter depth, no island. We measure your existing space, check load-bearing walls against the original county plans, and design layouts that work within the CBS structure. If you’re considering Home Additions & ADU in Greenacres like bumping out a wall toward the backyard, we check the LWDD easement map first. That canal setback has killed more than one breakfast-nook expansion. We find out before you pay for drawings.
Cabinet Installation & Refacing
New cabinet installation in Greenacres runs $4,000-$13,000 depending on line and layout. We source KraftMaid and Wellborn through our verified vendor list, which means the number on your quote reflects actual dealer pricing, not a padded allowance. Refacing is an option when the boxes are sound but the doors and hardware are dated - common in the garden condos near Lake Worth Road where the kitchens saw light use but the finishes are tired. We inspect the substrate first. Soft boxes from a slow leak don’t get refaced; they get replaced, and we tell you before we order.
Countertop Installation
Quartz and granite countertop installation in Greenacres typically falls between $2,000-$6,500. We template with digital measurements, fabricate from Cambria and Caesarstone slabs, and install with proper support brackets on island overhangs. In older Greenacres homes, we often find the existing cabinets need reinforcement before they can carry stone weight - another item we catch during the pre-work inspection and build into the written scope.
Backsplash & Tile Flooring
Backsplash installation runs $800-$2,500 in the Greenacres market. We waterproof behind the sink and cooktop per county code, not per habit. For tile flooring, we check the slab elevation against FEMA flood maps before we pour leveler - Greenacres’s flat terrain and high seasonal water table mean finished floor height matters for inspection pass. We’ve seen contractors skip this step and fail final, forcing the homeowner to rip out new tile and raise the subfloor. We check it during the estimate walk.
Kitchen Island Installation
A kitchen island in Greenacres costs $3,000-$10,000 depending on electrical and plumbing rough-in. If you’re on a slab foundation - standard for CBS construction - we core-drill for conduit and drainage, then patch with matching concrete. We also check the LWDD easement if your island design includes a bumped-out breakfast area toward a rear canal. That 20-foot District right-of-way can turn a buildable-looking lot into an unbuildable one without a license agreement.

BeforeAfterTrusted Brands We Service in Greenacres
We maintain sourcing depth across fifty-plus vetted brands so your written quote contains honest numbers. For Greenacres kitchen remodels, that means KraftMaid and Wellborn cabinets, Cambria and Caesarstone countertops, and Kohler and Toto fixtures - all with local dealer relationships that keep lead times predictable. We don’t spec brands we can’t source reliably; a quote with a six-month backorder is a quote that isn’t worth the paper it’s printed on. Our Miami office coordinates delivery scheduling with Greenacres job sites to minimize downtime between rough-in and finish.
Common Kitchen Remodeling Problems We See in Greenacres Homes
- LWDD canal easements blocking envelope work. A large share of Greenacres lots abut LWDD lateral canals, and any kitchen expansion toward the rear yard - new window, bumped-out wall, screened enclosure - can trigger a separate District right-of-way use permit. Out-of-area contractors miss this dual-approval step regularly, stalling projects for weeks while the homeowner learns about it for the first time.
- Pre-Andrew CBS framing and wiring behind the cabinets. Open a 1980s Greenacres kitchen and you’ll likely find undersized 2×4 headers, aluminum branch wiring, and subfloor soft from decades-old slow leaks. These aren’t hypotheticals. We find them, photograph them, and write allowances into the contract before demo starts.
- Missing hurricane strapping where walls meet roof. Pre-Andrew construction often lacks proper roof-to-wall connectors. Once we open the building envelope for a new window or door, county inspectors typically require strapping upgrades. We price this during the estimate, not after the drywall is down.
- Flood-elevation failures on slab work. Greenacres’s flat, low-lying terrain and high water table mean any new slab or floor elevation must clear FEMA flood maps and local drainage grades. Pour without checking, and you can fail final inspection and face costly remediation - or worse, water intrusion during seasonal highs.

What moves the number? Scope, obviously - but in Greenacres specifically, the condition of what’s behind the cabinets moves it more than most homeowners expect. A kitchen that needs new electrical, header upgrades, and subfloor repair runs toward the upper end. One with sound mechanicals and a simple layout refresh sits lower. We don’t guess. We open the access panels, run the circuit tests, and check the slab elevation during the estimate walk. Then we write the number down. Under Clause 1 of The Haven Standard, that written price is the price. If we missed something, that’s our cost, not yours. If you want changes, we write a change order, you sign it, and only then does the new work proceed.
We also offer a Free Second Opinion on any written estimate from another contractor. Bring us their line-item quote and we’ll review it against what we found in your home - no charge, no obligation.

FAQs - Kitchen Remodeling in Greenacres
Yes, if your project touches the building envelope within the District’s 20-foot right-of-way - a new window, bumped-out wall, or screened enclosure - you’ll need a separate LWDD right-of-way use permit in addition to city and county building permits. Most neighboring municipalities don’t have this layer, which is why out-of-area contractors regularly miss it and stall projects for weeks. We check the LWDD easement map during our estimate walk and build permit coordination into the project timeline. Call (561) 475-3903 to schedule your free estimate.
It moves when the contractor didn’t account for what pre-Andrew CBS construction hides: aluminum branch wiring, undersized load-bearing headers, soft subfloor from old leaks, and missing hurricane strapping. Our quotes don’t move because we build inspection-backed allowances into the original contract. In the Sherwood Lakes area off Jog Road, we opened a 1985 kitchen and found exactly that mix - 2×4 header, aluminum wiring, soft subfloor. We held the demo, wrote the change order, got written approval, and finished on budget. Call (561) 475-3903 and we’ll show you what allowances look like in a written quote.
Opening walls triggers current-code requirements for electrical (GFCI/AFCI, copper wiring), structural (proper headers, hurricane strapping), and waterproofing (flood elevation, drainage grades). A cosmetic refresh doesn’t trigger these. A gut remodel does. We pull permits for the full scope, schedule county inspections at rough-in and final, and hand you the signed inspection sign-off card at punch list. Call (561) 475-3903 to walk through what your specific project triggers.
An island is usually straightforward if the slab can take the load and we can rough in electrical - $3,000-$10,000 typically. Extending toward a rear canal is where the LWDD 20-foot right-of-way matters. We’ve seen lots that look buildable on city plans turn effectively unbuildable for any structure without a District license agreement. We check this before you pay for architectural drawings. Call (561) 475-3903 and we’ll pull the easement map with you during the estimate.
We inspect first, photograph what we find, and write allowances for likely conditions into the flat-price contract. If conditions are worse than expected, the allowance covers it. If better, you keep the difference. Any change outside the written scope gets a signed change order before work proceeds - that’s the administrative discipline Haven acquired Rowan for, and it’s why our projects finish within a few percent of the agreed price. The quote you get is the quote you pay, plus only what you approve in writing. Call (561) 475-3903 for a written estimate - they’re free, and they include the line items that protect you.
