How We Handle Cabinets & Countertops From Demo to Final Caulk

We’ve refined this process across hundreds of Broward County kitchens. Here’s what actually happens, and when you’ll need to make decisions.

Day 1: Protect and remove. We mask floors, vents, and adjacent rooms, then disconnect plumbing and electrical. Existing cabinets come out, countertops lift off, and we inspect what’s underneath. This is when we confirm wall flatness, check for water damage behind the sink base, and verify that your electrical and plumbing locations match the new layout. If we’re moving either, this is the day we flag it. Demo and prep takes 4-6 hours for a typical Pine Island Ridge kitchen.

Day 2-3: Cabinet install and adjustment. Base cabinets go in first, leveled across floors that are rarely perfectly flat in 1970s-1980s CBS construction. Wall cabinets follow, anchored to studs or blocking we add if original framing is sparse. You’ll see doors and drawers temporarily hung so we can check reveals and alignment before final hardware. This stage runs 1-2 days depending on cabinet count and whether we’ve customized for soffits or uneven ceilings common in this era’s homes.

Day 4: Templating. With cabinets secured, we template for countertops - either digitally or with physical strips, depending on material. This is your last chance to confirm overhang depths, edge profiles, and sink cutout placement. Templating itself is quick, but accuracy here prevents the costly errors that come from rushed measurements.

Day 5-8: Fabrication and delivery. Fabrication turnaround varies by material: stock laminate, 2-3 days; quartz or granite from our Cambria, Silestone, or Caesarstone lines, 5-10 business days; custom edges or complex island shapes, up to two weeks. We coordinate delivery so slabs arrive the morning of install, not days early to sit in your garage.

Day 9-10: Countertop install, sink, and finish. Seams get bonded and polished, sinks undermounted or dropped in, faucets and disposals reconnected. We run water, check for leaks, adjust cabinet hardware, and caulk all transitions. Final walkthrough with you before we pull protective masking.

Throughout, you’re deciding: cabinet box material (plywood vs. furniture board), door style and finish, countertop material and thickness, edge profile, backsplash integration, and whether to upgrade to soft-close hardware or pull-out organizers. We bring samples to your Pine Island Ridge home so you see colors under your actual lighting, not a showroom’s.

The Cabinet and Countertop Options You’ll Actually Choose Between

Every choice here has a real trade-off in cost, durability, and daily use. These are the decisions we walk Pine Island Ridge homeowners through:

• Stock, semi-custom, or fully custom cabinets. Stock boxes from national lines run $120-$300 per linear foot installed, with limited sizes and finishes. Semi-custom - our KraftMaid and Wellborn lines fall here - offers more sizes, modifications, and finishes at $300-$650 per linear foot. Fully custom, built to your exact dimensions, starts around $700 per linear foot and climbs with inset doors, exotic veneers, or hand-applied finishes. For Pine Island Ridge’s typical 10×10 kitchen, semi-custom hits the sweet spot of fit and value.
• Plywood box vs. furniture board. Plywood resists moisture better at sink bases and stands up to repeated screw removal if you reconfigure interiors later. Furniture board (particleboard with veneer) costs 15-25% less and performs fine in dry upper cabinets. In South Florida’s humidity, we spec plywood for sink bases and any cabinet near an exterior wall.
• Solid wood, MDF, or thermofoil doors. Painted MDF gives the smoothest finish but can swell at edges if water sits. Solid wood takes paint and stain well, expands and contracts with humidity changes, and repairs more easily. Thermofoil is budget-friendly and consistent but can delaminate near ovens or dishwashers where heat concentrates.
• Quartz, granite, or solid surface countertops. Engineered quartz - our Silestone and Caesarstone lines - is non-porous, consistent in pattern, and needs no sealing. Granite offers unique slab variation and handles heat well but requires annual sealing and can stain. Solid surface (Corian-type) is seamless and repairable but softer, more prone to scratches and heat damage. For busy Pine Island Ridge families, quartz dominates our installs.
• Undermount vs. drop-in sink. Undermount with quartz or granite gives clean counter lines and easy wipe-down. Drop-in costs less to install and replace but catches grime at the rim. This decision locks in before templating; changing after means a new template and delay.
• Edge profile. Eased or pencil edges are standard, functional, and don’t catch crumbs. Ogee or waterfall edges add cost ($30-$60 per linear foot) and visual weight. We show full-size samples so you see proportion against your door style, not just a catalog drawing.

What Cabinets & Countertops Costs in Pine Island Ridge, FL

For a typical Pine Island Ridge kitchen, cabinets and countertops together range $6,000-$19,500 installed. Here’s how that breaks and what pushes you toward either end:

Five factors move your number:

Kitchen size and layout complexity. A galley kitchen with 15 linear feet of cabinets and a single countertop run sits at the low end. An L-shape with island, pantry, and multiple countertop elevations doubles material and labor.

Existing condition and demo scope. Original 1970s-1980s cabinets in Pine Island Ridge are often glued and screwed through multiple layers, adding demo time. Water damage behind sinks, asbestos-containing mastic under old flooring, or plaster vs. drywall behind cabinets all add cost we assess during your free estimate.

Plumbing and electrical relocation. Keeping sink, range, and refrigerator in existing locations saves $800-$2,500. Moving any of them requires permits, licensed trade work, and often drywall repair - but it’s sometimes the only way to fix a dysfunctional layout.

Material grade and brand tier. Entry-level stock cabinets with laminate countertops can hit $6,000. Premium semi-custom with quartz waterfall edges and integrated appliances pushes $19,500 and beyond. Our KraftMaid and Wellborn lines span mid to upper tiers; Cambria, Silestone, and Caesarstone each have collections from builder-grade to designer.

Permit and inspection requirements. In Broward County, electrical or plumbing changes trigger permits; cosmetic cabinet and countertop replacement without utility moves often doesn’t. We handle permit determination and submittal, and factor inspection scheduling into your timeline.

Your written estimate includes: all cabinets, countertops, hardware, sink, faucet, labor, basic demo and disposal, and project management. It does not include: appliances, flooring, backsplash, painting, or structural modifications discovered during demo - though we flag likely extras during our initial walkthrough.

What Pine Island Ridge Homes Specifically Do to This Job

Pine Island Ridge’s housing stock shapes every cabinets and countertops project we take on here. The 1970s-1980s CBS construction is solid - block walls, concrete slabs, stucco exteriors - but kitchens from this era were built to very different standards than today’s. Original cabinets are often 30-inch wall heights with no consideration for 36-inch refrigerators or built-in microwaves. Soffits above cabinets, once standard, now waste storage space and collect grease. Electrical circuits may be 15-amp with no ground fault protection near sinks.

The ridge’s ancient limestone substrate doesn’t directly affect cabinet install, but it does matter when we’re part of a full Kitchen Remodeling in Pine Island Ridge that includes flooring or island additions. Any island with plumbing - prep sink, beverage center - needs careful boring through that oolitic limestone if utilities must run from perimeter walls. We’ve learned to scope this early, not discover it mid-project.

Broward County’s HVHZ inspection regime, among the strictest in the country, means that any electrical or plumbing work tied to your cabinets and countertops gets scrutinized to a higher standard than neighboring counties. Inspectors check outlet spacing, GFCI placement, and pipe support with detail that surprises homeowners used to looser jurisdictions. Our crew specs to this standard from day one, not after a failed inspection.

We cover Pine Island Ridge and surrounding communities including Cooper City, Davie, and Southwest Ranches. Homeowners here often pair kitchen updates with Walk-In Showers & Shower Remodeling in Pine Island Ridge or a Tub-to-Shower Conversion in Pine Island Ridge as part of a coordinated whole-home refresh - something our Kitchen Remodeling crew and full construction team handle as a single project, not handoffs between subcontractors.
