Fast, Reliable Kitchen Remodeling Across Palm Beach
Kitchen remodeling in Palm Beach typically runs $14,000-$45,000 for a full renovation, with most projects requiring 8-16 weeks once permits and ARCOM approvals are in hand. Because Palm Beach sits on a half-mile-wide barrier island between the Atlantic Ocean and the Intracoastal Waterway, every kitchen remodel here faces a triple constraint: the Town’s Architectural Commission (ARCOM) must approve exterior alterations on landmarked properties, salt-laden air corrodes structural elements hidden behind walls, and Miami-Dade/Palm Beach County wind codes demand impact-rated products with documented compliance.
Our crews serve Palm Beach from our South Florida scheduling office in Miami. We know the difference between a mainland permit package and an ARCOM submission, and we build both calendars into every written quote. Call (561) 475-3903 to schedule your free estimate - we’ll bring a line-item scope, not a sales pitch.
Why Rowan Construction Group West Palm Beach Is Palm Beach’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 Palm Beach, that discipline matters more than most places. A kitchen remodel off South County Road or near the Breakers isn’t a standard rip-and-replace - it’s structural archaeology in a town where 1,500-plus properties carry landmark status and ARCOM can require public hearings for window profile changes.
Our Palm Beach customers find us the way they research appliances: they read the three-star reviews, then call to ask if we’ll put the number in writing. We do. Under Clause 1 of The Haven Standard, the price is written before anyone starts. Every time. Our 365-Day Done Right Promise is printed on every page and backed by a terms page, not an asterisk. If it’s not done right, we make it right.
Calls are answered by a live person 24/7. Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and arrive with a documented photo record included as standard - not an upgrade. For Palm Beach homeowners managing ARCOM timelines alongside construction, that transparency is the difference between a project that finishes within a few percent of the agreed price and one that doesn’t finish at all.
Our Kitchen Remodeling Services in Palm Beach

Full Kitchen Remodeling
A full kitchen remodel in Palm Beach starts with understanding what’s behind your existing walls. We opened up a 1920s Mediterranean Revival kitchen off South Ocean Boulevard and found the coral stone wall behind the old cabinetry spalling from decades of salt exposure between the ocean and the lagoon. After our general contractor managed structural repair of the oxidized rebar and repoured the compromised section, we set a new load-bearing range hood anchor and installed impact-rated glazing and KraftMaid cabinetry - then walked the ARCOM-approved scope through inspection sign-off. That’s the sequence here: structural first, then mechanical, then finishes. Our Kitchen Remodeling team quotes the full chain, not just the pretty parts.

Kitchen Design & Layout
Layout changes in Palm Beach kitchens often trigger code requirements that mainland designers miss. Removing a wall between kitchen and living space? That wall may be hollow clay tile from the 1920s, load-bearing, or both. We specify structural engineering review in the written scope before demolition day. For properties in AE or VE FEMA flood zones - common along the Intracoastal edge near Royal Park and the Midtown neighborhood - finished-floor elevation requirements can restrict where plumbing rough-ins relocate. Our design process includes a pre-demolition probe to document substrate conditions, so the layout we draw is the layout we can build.

Kitchen Island Installation
Islands in Palm Beach kitchens aren’t furniture - they’re anchored structures that must withstand hurricane wind loads and, in older homes, may need to tie into repaired or reinforced substrate. A $3,000-$10,000 island installation becomes a $15,000-plus project when spalling concrete cancer demands rebar repair first. We price both scenarios in writing before you sign, with a signed change order required if we find conditions beyond the probe’s reach. No surprises, no verbal approvals, no work proceeds without documentation.

Cabinets & Countertops
We source KraftMaid and Wellborn cabinets, Cambria and Caesarstone countertops - fifty-plus vetted brands total - giving the written quote honest numbers rather than inflated ones. In Palm Beach’s historic homes, cabinet installation often reveals out-of-square walls in coral stone or hollow clay tile that standard shim packs can’t address. Our crews carry masonry-specific fastening systems and document the substrate condition before hanging. For countertop templating, we note whether your property requires impact-rated window splashes or specialized sealing for salt-air exposure.

Backsplash, Tile & Flooring
Tile work in Palm Beach kitchens faces the same salt-air challenge as exterior masonry. We specify membrane systems and grout formulations rated for high-chloride environments, particularly in oceanfront properties along Ocean Boulevard and the estate section. For historic homes requiring period-authentic materials, we source through restoration specialty subs who can match hand-applied stucco and Pecky cypress - not standard new-construction trades who’ll substitute and hope ARCOM doesn’t notice.

AfterTrusted Brands We Service in Palm Beach
Our supplier relationships run deep enough that we stock local inventory for Palm Beach projects rather than ordering from distribution centers upstate. That means KraftMaid and Wellborn cabinet lines arrive on schedule, Cambria and Caesarstone slabs template within a week of substrate readiness, and Kohler and Toto fixtures ship without the mainland backorders that delay mainland contractors. For homeowners in the North End or near Worth Avenue who’ve already waited through ARCOM’s Certificate of Appropriateness process, that sourcing depth protects the construction calendar we’ve built. We also specify Mighty Buildings and Plant Prefab components where modular solutions fit historic constraints - their engineering documentation streamlines permit review in jurisdictions with strict compliance requirements.
Common Kitchen Remodeling Problems We See in Palm Beach Homes

- Spalling concrete cancer behind kitchen walls. Salt air from the Atlantic and Intracoastal corrodes rebar in pre-1970s concrete and hollow clay tile simultaneously. We probe before we price, and we write structural repair into the scope when our photo record shows it’s needed - not as a change order surprise.
- ARCOM blindside on exterior alterations. Even replacing a rotted wood window with an identical profile can require a public hearing if the property is landmarked. We verify ARCOM status in pre-design research and build the approval calendar into every bid.
- Wind-load ratings left unspecified in competitor quotes. Miami-Dade/Palm Beach County code requires impact-rated windows, skylights, and exterior doors in this wind-borne debris region. We name the rating in the written scope - usually HVHZ or ASTM E1886/E1996 compliance - and provide the documentation your insurance underwriter will ask for at renewal.
- Standard trades quoted for historic restoration work. Matching Addison Mizner-era Mediterranean Revival details demands specialty subs experienced in coral stone, Pecky cypress, and hand-applied stucco. We source them from the start, not after a failed inspection forces costly rework.

FAQs - Kitchen Remodeling in Palm Beach

Yes, if your property is landmarked or the work alters exterior appearance - which includes most window and door replacements visible from the street. ARCOM’s Certificate of Appropriateness process runs parallel to standard permitting and can add 6-12 weeks to pre-construction timelines. We verify your property’s landmark status during our initial site visit and build both approval tracks into the written construction calendar. Call (561) 475-3903 to schedule your free estimate and we’ll check ARCOM status as step one.
They must meet Miami-Dade/Palm Beach County HVHZ requirements, typically ASTM E1886/E1996 Large Missile Impact compliance for openings within 30 feet of grade. We name the exact rating in our written scope and provide the product approval documentation your insurance underwriter requires. Quotes that leave wind-load “to be determined” often fail inspection or trigger premium increases at renewal. Call (561) 475-3903 and we’ll show you the spec sheets before you sign.
Yes - Palm Beach County requires permits for any structural modification, and the Town of Palm Beach enforces this strictly on the island. If the wall is load-bearing or contains plumbing/electrical, engineering drawings and inspection sign-offs are mandatory. We pull all permits as part of our flat-price scope and coordinate inspection scheduling so your project doesn’t stall. Call (561) 475-3903 for a written quote that includes permit costs and timeline.
It shouldn’t - if your contractor documents compliance with FEMA finished-floor elevation requirements and provides the elevation certificate update your insurer needs. In AE and VE zones common near the Intracoastal, raising finished floors without documentation can trigger premium spikes or coverage disputes. We include elevation compliance verification in our written scope and deliver the photo record and inspection sign-offs that protect your rate. Call (561) 475-3903 to review how we handle flood-zone documentation.
Three factors: ARCOM submission and potential public hearing costs ($2,000-$5,000), structural repair of salt-corroded substrate common in pre-1970s construction ($3,000-$12,000), and impact-rated product upgrades required by county wind code. Contractors who omit these in initial quotes generate change orders later - our written price includes the full sequence, documented, before work starts. Call (561) 475-3903 for a line-item quote you can compare apples-to-apples.
Ready to see your kitchen’s real condition and get a written price before anyone picks up a tool? Call (561) 475-3903 to schedule your free estimate. We’ll bring a probe camera, a checklist of ARCOM and wind-load requirements for your property, and a flat-price quote with a written scope and warranty - because under Clause 1 of The Haven Standard, the number comes first.
