Cabinets & Countertops in Hollywood - Same-Day Service, Done Right the First Time

What Do Cabinets & Countertops Cost and Take in Hollywood, FL?

Cabinets and countertops in Hollywood, FL typically run $6,000-$19,500 combined, with most projects finishing in 5-10 business days once materials arrive. Most homeowners keep their existing kitchen footprint and plumbing locations, which keeps the timeline tight and the budget predictable.

Hollywood’s mix of mid-century concrete block homes and newer planned communities means we see two distinct cabinet scenarios: original 1960s face-frame cabinets with worn drawer boxes in neighborhoods like Hollywood Hills, and builder-grade particleboard units in western subdivisions near Pembroke Pines that fail at the hinge plates after 15-20 years. Both situations are straightforward to remedy, but the approach differs.

We’re Hollywood homeowners ourselves, and we know the local permitting rhythm at the City of Hollywood Building Division on South Young Circle. Our crew handles the paperwork, the inspections, and the coordination so you’re not chasing signatures between countertop templating and cabinet delivery.

How We Handle Cabinets and Countertops Start to Finish

Every cabinets and countertops job we run in Hollywood follows five distinct stages. Here’s what happens, how long each takes, and what you’ll need to decide.

Stage 1: Site Measure and Material Lock (Day 1)

We arrive with laser measures and a full sample kit. You’ll decide cabinet door style, finish, hardware, and countertop material during this visit. For Hollywood’s coastal humidity, we steer clients toward plywood-box construction over particleboard, and we note any wall irregularities common in 1950s-1970s CBS construction that require scribe fillers or furring. This visit takes 60-90 minutes. We photograph existing plumbing and electrical positions so we can flag any relocation costs upfront.

Stage 2: Ordering and Shop Drawing Review (1-3 Weeks)

After you approve the shop drawings, we place orders. Stock cabinets from our KraftMaid or Wellborn lines ship in 1-2 weeks; semi-custom add another week. Countertop templating happens only after base cabinets are installed, so we schedule the fabricator’s visit during this window. You’ll receive a confirmed installation date before we break ground.

Stage 3: Demo and Prep (Day 1 of Installation)

We remove existing cabinets, countertops, and backsplash if included. For Hollywood’s older homes, we inspect the drywall behind cabinets for moisture intrusion, a frequent find in original construction near the Intracoastal where window leaks went unaddressed for decades. We also verify that walls are plumb within 1/4 inch over 8 feet, cabinet installation tolerance. Any remediation gets priced and approved before we proceed.

Stage 4: Cabinet Installation (Days 2-4)

Base cabinets go in first, then uppers, then adjustments. We use HVHZ-compliant fastening schedules even for interior work, a habit born from our exterior envelope work across Broward County. Hardware gets installed, doors aligned, and drawer boxes tested for smooth operation. At this point we call for rough inspection if the scope requires it.

Stage 5: Countertop Templating, Fabrication, and Final Install (Days 5-10)

The fabricator templates directly on installed bases. Engineered quartz from Cambria, Silestone, or Caesarstone typically fabricates in 5-7 business days. Final installation includes sink cutout, faucet drilling, and backsplash integration. We schedule the plumbing reconnect and final inspection before we leave your kitchen functional.

The Material Decisions That Shape Your Kitchen

Cabinets and countertops in Hollywood present real choices with honest trade-offs. Here’s what we see homeowners weighing most often:

• Stock vs. semi-custom cabinets: Stock cabinets (KraftMaid’s standard line, Wellborn’s Estate series) run $4,000-$8,000 installed and deliver in 1-2 weeks. Semi-custom with modified heights, depths, or specialty storage runs $7,000-$13,000 and adds a week. For Hollywood’s smaller 1960s kitchens, stock often fits without compromise; for opened-up floor plans in western subdivisions, semi-custom fills the space properly.
• Plywood box vs. particleboard: Plywood resists the humidity spikes that hit Hollywood every summer and costs 15-20% more upfront. Particleboard swells at the toe kick and sink base within 5-7 years in unconditioned spaces. We spec plywood as standard.
• Engineered quartz vs. granite: Quartz from Silestone or Caesarstone runs $65-$110 per square foot installed, needs no sealing, and handles Hollywood’s UV exposure better than some granites that fade near south-facing windows. Granite runs $55-$95, requires annual sealing, and offers unique veining. Both perform well; quartz wins for maintenance, granite for one-of-a-kind appearance.
• Undermount vs. drop-in sink: Undermount with quartz or solid surface is standard now and costs $200-$400 more in labor. It eliminates the grime-catching rim. Drop-in remains viable for laminate countertops, which we rarely specify anymore.
• Pull hardware vs. touch-latch: Hardware adds $8-$25 per piece but wears better in salt-air environments. Touch-latch mechanisms corrode faster within 3 miles of the coast, something we flag for Kitchen Remodeling in Hollywood clients in the 33019 barrier island zone.

What Cabinets and Countertops Cost in Hollywood, FL

Five factors push your number within this range:

Kitchen size and layout complexity. A straight 10-foot galley in a Hollywood Hills ranch needs 8-10 cabinets. An L-shaped kitchen with corner susans and a peninsula in Emerald Hills needs 18-22. Linear footage drives material cost directly.

Existing condition and remediation. Original 1960s cabinets often hide water-damaged drywall, outdated electrical (ungrounded outlets, aluminum branch wiring), or plumbing that’s no longer to code. We find this in maybe 30% of east Hollywood jobs and price it only after demo reveals the scope.

Plumbing and electrical relocation. Keeping your sink, dishwasher, and range in place saves $800-$2,500. Moving any of them requires permits, licensed trades, and typically adds 2-3 days.

Material grade and brand tier. Wellborn’s Aspire line with full-overlay soft-close doors runs roughly 40% above their standard square-recess offering. Caesarstone’s premium marbled patterns cost 20% more than their solids. These are real choices, not upsells.

Permit and inspection scope. Pure cabinet and countertop replacement with no plumbing or electrical changes often proceeds as a cosmetic permit or no permit at all in Hollywood. Add a sink relocation or dedicated circuit for a cooktop, and you’re into a full permit with two inspections. We handle either path and tell you which applies before you sign.

Our written estimates include demolition, disposal, cabinets, countertops, hardware, installation, and basic plumbing reconnect. They do not include appliance upgrades, flooring replacement, or wall repair beyond standard cabinet-area patching. If you’re considering a Kitchen Remodeling scope that pulls in more trades, we’ll quote that separately so you can phase the work.

How Hollywood’s Homes and Rules Shape This Work

Hollywood sits entirely within Florida’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone, a designation it shares only with Miami-Dade County. That matters for cabinets and countertops more than you’d think. Any project that touches structural walls, relocates plumbing vents, or modifies electrical service requires HVHZ-listed assemblies and Miami-Dade Notices of Acceptance for associated components. We’ve seen contractors from Palm Beach County or Central Florida stalled at the Broward permit desk for weeks because their specified windows or hardware lacked this invisible approval layer. We spec to HVHZ standards from the first sketch.

The housing stock splits the job types we see. East of I-95, in ZIPs 33020 and 33021, 1950s-1970s CBS homes built for the Northeast snowbird market carry original face-frame cabinets with worn drawer glides, jalousie windows that leaked for decades, and electrical panels that complicate modern appliance loads. These jobs often include remediation, wall repair, and updated GFCI circuits. West of the Turnpike, in 33024-33029, 1980s-2000s tract homes have builder-grade cabinets failing at hinge plates and homeowners ready for material upgrades without the surprises.

For barrier island properties in 33019, salt-air corrosion accelerates hardware failure and demands stainless or coated fasteners even for interior cabinet installation. We’ve replaced hinges that failed in 4 years on oceanfront condos. The Coastal Construction Control Line adds a DEP permit layer to any exterior modification, though pure interior cabinet work stays clear of it.

Many Hollywood neighborhoods, from Hollywood Lakes to the Hillcrest area, operate under active HOAs with design review boards. We provide material samples and elevation drawings for your submittal, and we coordinate our installation schedule around HOA-approved work windows when required.
