AfterFast, Reliable Kitchen Remodeling Across The Acreage
A full kitchen remodel in The Acreage typically runs $14,000-$45,000, with most projects quoted in writing before a single cabinet is ordered. We’re Rowan Construction Group, and our crews work The Acreage regularly from our South Florida dispatch office - not as tourists, but as contractors who understand that every home here sits on 1.25-plus acres with its own well and septic system, and that changes everything about how you remodel a kitchen. Call (561) 475-3903 to schedule your free estimate, or bring us a competitor’s written quote and we’ll review it line by line at no charge.
Why Rowan Construction Group West Palm Beach Is The Acreage’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 The Acreage, that discipline matters more than most places. The unincorporated permitting path through Palm Beach County’s building division has its own review timelines and inspector routing, and we’ve learned the rhythm. Our Kitchen Remodeling team pulls the county’s on-site sewage records before staking any wall change, because we’ve seen too many designs die at permit review when the drain field occupies exactly the spot the homeowner wanted for an island or sink run.
Our crews are background-checked and uniformed. A live person answers calls 24/7. And under Clause 1 of The Haven Standard, the price you sign is the price you pay - no change proceeds without a signed change order, which is why our projects finish within a few percent of the agreed number.
Our Kitchen Remodeling Services in The Acreage
Kitchen Design & Layout
In The Acreage, layout is often decided by utility setbacks before it’s decided by aesthetics. Because every home runs on private well and septic, adding a sink, dishwasher, or pot filler means engineering around existing drain field locations and mandatory well-setback distances. We pull Palm Beach County’s on-site sewage records and physically walk the drain field before any design is finalized. On a recent project off 60th Street North, the septic as-built showed the drain field occupying the exact rear yard where the homeowner hoped to push a counter run. We reoriented the island to the opposite wall, kept the window positions, and the county inspector signed off on the rough-in without a single revision.
Cabinets & Countertops
The Acreage’s housing stock - predominantly CBS construction from the mid-1980s through the 2000s - came with builder-grade oak cabinets and laminate counters that don’t survive well-water humidity long-term. We regularly find swollen toe kicks and delaminated surfaces in homes barely twenty years old. We source KraftMaid and Wellborn cabinets, plus Cambria, Caesarstone, and Silestone countertops, with honest numbers in the written quote rather than inflated allowances. Cabinet installation in The Acreage runs $4,000-$13,000; countertop installation, $2,000-$6,500.
Kitchen Island Installation
An island adds workspace and storage, but in The Acreage it also adds plumbing complexity. Any sink, prep faucet, or dishwasher in the island ties back to the home’s septic system, and the drain field location often limits where that tie-in can run. Kitchen island installation runs $3,000-$10,000, and we engineer the rough-in before the cabinetry order is placed. The county’s unincorporated-area inspectors will verify the venting and drain slope on final - we design for their checklist from day one.
Backsplash & Tile Flooring
Backsplash installation in The Acreage runs $800-$2,500, a relatively accessible upgrade that protects the wall behind ranges and sinks from the grease and humidity of Florida cooking. For flooring, we see a lot of original builder-grade vinyl and early tile that has cracked with slab movement. We specify porcelain and ceramic rated for the substrate condition, with mortar beds adjusted for the shallow water table that complicates slab prep in western Palm Beach County.
Small & Partial Kitchen Remodels
Not every project needs the full treatment. A small kitchen remodel in The Acreage - cabinets, counters, and paint, keeping the footprint intact - runs $9,000-$20,000. These projects move faster through county permitting and avoid the septic re-engineering that full layout changes can trigger. We flag early whether your goals fit a partial scope or whether the well and septic realities push you toward a more comprehensive plan.

Common Kitchen Remodeling Problems We See in The Acreage Homes
- Well-water humidity destroying builder-grade cabinetry. The original oak cabinets in 1980s-2000s CBS homes swell at the toe kicks and delaminate at the boxes within a decade. We see this on almost every pre-2010 home we enter. The fix is proper cabinet-grade plywood construction, not particleboard, with finishes rated for high-moisture environments.
- Drain field conflicts discovered after design is finalized. The septic as-built frequently shows the drain field occupying the exact side or rear yard where the proposed island or sink wall wants to land. Skipping the county record pull before design means expensive re-engineering or abandoning the layout entirely. We pull the records before the first design meeting.
- Builder warranty violations from unauthorized structural changes. Newer Acreage homes still under builder warranty can have coverage voided by cutting into load-bearing walls or altering the rough-in without approval. We review your warranty documents and coordinate with the original builder when structural work is involved, so you don’t pay twice for the same repair.
- HOA architectural review applied to exterior-facing work. The Acreage is unincorporated, but many subdivisions maintain HOA or architectural review boards with binding covenants. Window changes, exterior door replacements, and any work visible from the street can require pre-approval. We verify covenant requirements before permitting so the build isn’t stopped mid-stream.

FAQs - Kitchen Remodeling in The Acreage
Yes. Because The Acreage is unincorporated Palm Beach County, all permits flow through the county’s unincorporated-area building division, not a city hall. Electrical, plumbing, and structural work each require separate permits or consolidated review, and the county will verify well and septic setbacks on any layout change. We pull all permits as part of our scope and schedule inspections around the county’s routing. Call (561) 475-3903 and we’ll confirm exactly what your project triggers.
It depends on what you alter and whether the original builder’s warranty documents restrict modifications. Cutting into load-bearing walls, relocating the rough-in, or changing exterior openings without builder approval commonly voids structural and systems coverage. We review your warranty terms before design and coordinate with the builder when needed, so the upgrade doesn’t become a double expense. Call (561) 475-3903 and we’ll walk through your specific documents.
Yes, but the drain field and well setback distances often dictate exactly where the island can sit and where the sink can drain. We pull the county’s on-site sewage records and walk the drain field before finalizing any layout that adds plumbing. On a 2003 CBS home off 60th Street North, we reoriented the island to avoid the drain field, kept the window positions, and passed county rough-in inspection on the first visit. Call (561) 475-3903 to schedule a site evaluation.
Start with what has already failed: the cabinets and counters. Builder-grade oak and laminate in The Acreage’s well-water humidity typically show swelling and delamination within ten to fifteen years. Replacing with plywood-box cabinets and quartz or solid-surface counters solves the moisture problem and gives the most visible transformation for the investment. Backsplash and hardware follow easily. We quote each tier separately so you can sequence the work. Call (561) 475-3903 for a phased estimate.
Exterior-facing work often does. While The Acreage itself is unincorporated, many subdivisions maintain covenants requiring architectural review for window changes, exterior door replacements, or any work visible from the street. Purely interior work - cabinets, counters, backsplash within existing openings - typically does not. We verify covenant requirements before permitting so your project isn’t halted mid-build. Call (561) 475-3903 and we’ll confirm what applies to your specific property.
