What happens during a full kitchen remodel, start to finish
We’ve learned that homeowners stay sane when they know what’s coming. Here’s how we sequence a typical full kitchen remodeling project in Davie.
Week 1: Demolition and discovery. We strip cabinets, countertops, flooring, and appliances down to the studs. In Davie’s 1960s-1980s CBS ranch homes, this is where we find the surprises: original aluminum wiring that needs replacement, galvanized supply lines with internal corrosion, or slab-set drain lines that crack when disturbed. We document everything with photos and walk you through what changed before we touch structure.
Week 2-3: Rough-in and inspections. Electricians pull new 20-amp circuits for modern appliance loads. Plumbers relocate or replace supply and drain lines. If you’re opening the kitchen to an adjacent room, we handle beam sizing and column placement now. Davie falls under Broward County building jurisdiction, so we schedule rough inspections for electrical, plumbing, and structural work separately. Each trade must pass before we close walls.
Week 3-4: Drywall, flooring, and paint. We hang and finish drywall, install your chosen flooring, and apply primer. This is when the space starts feeling real again. You’ll make your final paint color decision here if you haven’t already.
Week 4-6: Cabinetry and countertops. Cabinets go in first, leveled and secured to the slab. We template countertops only after cabinets are installed, since concrete slab floors in older Davie homes often have subtle pitch variations that affect measurements. Fabrication takes 7-14 days depending on material. Silestone and Caesarstone quartz ship faster than exotic natural stone.
Week 6-8: Appliances, fixtures, and final inspection. We connect appliances, install your Kohler or Moen faucet and sink, hang pendant lighting, and handle the punch list. Broward County does a final building inspection; we don’t call it complete until it passes.
The real choices you’ll make for your Davie kitchen
Full kitchen remodeling means deciding on everything at once. These are the trade-offs we walk through with homeowners:
- Keep the footprint or move it: Staying put saves $3,000-$8,000 in plumbing and electrical relocation. Moving the sink to an island or opening a wall to the living room adds cost but transforms how you use the space. In Davie’s older CBS homes, moving plumbing through a concrete slab is labor-intensive but very doable.
- Cabinet construction: Stock boxes with plywood sides and particleboard shelves run less but limit sizes and finishes. Semi-custom gives you 3/4-inch plywood construction, soft-close hardware, and dozens of door styles. Full custom is rarely necessary unless you have unusual ceiling heights or want inset doors with exposed hinges.
- Countertop material: Laminate is the budget floor at $25-$40 per square foot installed. Silestone and Caesarstone engineered quartz hit $65-$110 and resist etching from citrus and wine better than marble. Natural granite varies wildly in pattern; some slabs need more sealing maintenance than homeowners expect.
- Appliance tier: A standard four-piece package from a mainstream brand runs $3,500-$6,000. Stepping to pro-style ranges, built-in refrigeration, or panel-ready dishwashers can push appliance costs past $15,000. We rough in electrical and gas lines for your chosen tier so you’re not limited later.
- Flooring: Luxury vinyl plank handles Davie’s humidity and occasional flooding better than solid hardwood. Large-format porcelain tile is bulletproof but harder underfoot. We see a lot of homeowners in western Davie near the equestrian districts choose tile for durability with active households.
What Full Kitchen Remodeling costs in Davie, FL
| Project scope | Typical range |
|---|---|
| Full kitchen remodel (existing footprint, mid-grade finishes) | $14,000-$28,000 |
| Full kitchen remodel with layout changes and upgraded materials | $28,000-$45,000 |
| High-end full remodel with custom cabinetry and pro appliances | $38,000-$45,000+ |
Five factors push your number up or down. Kitchen size is obvious: a 10×10 galley in a 1970s Davie ranch uses fewer materials than a 15×20 kitchen in a renovated home near Pine Island Ridge. Existing condition matters more than people expect; we’ve opened walls in older Davie homes to find termite damage in wall studs or corroded cast-iron drain lines that need full replacement. Relocating plumbing, electrical, or structure adds $2,000-$8,000 depending on complexity. Material grade can swing countertop and cabinetry costs by 200% or more for the same square footage. Permit scope is simpler for replacement-in-kind work but expands when you’re adding square footage or changing the home’s structural envelope.
A written estimate from us includes demolition, disposal, all rough and finish work, materials we supply, and permit fees. It does not include appliances you purchase directly, your own decorative lighting selections, or post-project cleaning beyond our standard construction cleanup.
Why Davie’s housing stock changes how we approach this work
Davie’s residential fabric is distinct from anywhere else we build in Broward. Much of the housing stock dates to the 1960s through 1980s, concrete block and stucco ranch homes on generous lots that predate the 1994 Florida Building Code. These kitchens were built for a different era of cooking and entertaining: smaller, closed off from living spaces, with 15-amp electrical service and single-bowl stainless sinks.
The slab foundations common in Davie sit on higher groundwater than eastern Broward cities because of the town’s position on the western coastal ridge transitioning toward Everglades drainage. We’ve encountered water intrusion in kitchen slab penetrations during remodels, particularly in homes near the western equestrian districts where grading and drainage weren’t designed for modern expectations. We address this during demolition, not after cabinets are installed.
Permitting in Davie involves Broward County Building Division for structural, electrical, and plumbing work, but Davie’s own Planning and Zoning Division maintains additional oversight for properties in equestrian overlay districts. While that dual-permitting process is more relevant to barn and agricultural outbuilding work, it reflects a municipal culture of careful land-use review that carries into residential renovation expectations. Homeowners in HOA-governed communities like those near Cooper City or Pine Island Ridge boundaries need architectural review board approval before we pull permits, adding 2-4 weeks to front-end scheduling.
We also see unpermitted additions and enclosed patios in older Davie homes that complicate kitchen expansion plans. When a previous owner built a Florida room without proper documentation, we handle the code compliance resolution as part of the broader project scope so your new kitchen isn’t built on a permit gap.

Frequently asked - Full Kitchen Remodeling in Davie
Most projects run 4-8 weeks after permit approval, with 2 weeks of that being countertop fabrication after cabinets are installed. Broward County inspection scheduling can add 3-5 days if trades don’t pass on first visit. Call (844) 665-0162 and we’ll review your specific timeline.
Yes, if you’re moving walls, plumbing, or electrical. Replacement-in-kind work (new cabinets in the same location, same appliance connections) sometimes avoids permitting, but most full remodels trigger Broward County building requirements. We handle all permit applications and inspections as part of our standard process.
Absolutely, and it saves significant cost. Keeping the sink, range, and refrigerator in existing locations avoids slab cutting, rough plumbing changes, and structural engineering. Many Davie homeowners choose this path for their first full remodel, then expand the footprint later when budget allows.
