We’re based in Fort Lauderdale, so Sunrise is our backyard. Our crews know the difference between a Sawgrass condo tower built in 1982 and a townhome off Sunset Strip from 1976, and we plan accordingly. That local knowledge saves weeks on permits and prevents the mid-project surprises that derail budgets.

Why Groundwork Construction Co. of South Florida Is Sunrise’s Preferred Kitchen Remodeling Company

We’ve worked the older corridors along NW 44th Street and the condo clusters near Sawgrass Mills long enough to know the inspection rhythms of Broward County Building Code Services. When a 40-year recertification flags corroded rebar or spalled concrete, we’ve already built that remediation into our project timeline. That’s not something a contractor driving down from Palm Beach figures out on the fly.

Our Kitchen Remodeling team carries the full portfolio of 50+ brands, so you’re not locked into whatever cabinet line happens to be moving that month. You choose KraftMaid or Wellborn for cabinetry, Cambria or Silestone for counters. We handle the build.

Raymond Estevez built Groundwork on the principle that one contractor should handle every phase, from structural repair to finished backsplash. That matters in Sunrise, where a kitchen remodel can turn into a structural remediation mid-stream. No handoffs. No coordination gaps.

We pull permits through Broward County regularly, and we know which plans examiners will ask for the hurricane-tie detail on an exterior door header versus which ones want the full structural letter up front. That familiarity keeps your job moving.

Our Kitchen Remodeling Services in Sunrise

Full Kitchen Remodeling

A full gut in Sunrise often starts with discovery. We’ll open walls and find what the 1980s builders left behind, maybe aluminum wiring, maybe a door header that was never strapped for wind load. We handle the structural remediation, the permit revisions, and the finish work. One contractor, every phase. Typical range: $14,000-$45,000 for Sunrise homes, with smaller galley kitchens in older condos trending toward the lower end and open-concept reconfigurations in larger townhomes pushing higher.

Cabinets & Countertops / Cabinet Installation & Refacing

Your cabinet choice sets the kitchen’s personality and its durability. We install KraftMaid and Wellborn lines, and if your existing boxes are solid, refacing can cut costs significantly while still giving you new doors, drawers, and hardware. For countertops, we fabricate Cambria, Silestone, and Caesarstone engineered quartz, plus natural granite selections. In Sunrise’s humid climate, quartz performs well, it doesn’t require the annual sealing that porous stones do. Cabinet installation runs $4,000-$13,000; countertops $2,000-$6,500 depending on square footage and edge detail.

Quartz & Granite Countertops

Sunrise’s afternoon thunderstorms and year-round humidity punish natural stone that isn’t properly sealed. We steer clients toward quartz for busy kitchens, it’s non-porous, stain-resistant, and holds up to the heavy use that Florida families put their kitchens through. That said, we carry granite slabs for homeowners who want the variation only natural stone provides. We template, fabricate, and install in-house, so you’re not waiting on a third-party shop to slot you into their queue.

Kitchen Island Installation

Islands are where Sunrise kitchens earn their keep, extra prep space, casual dining, and storage. But in older CBS construction, the slab may not be perfectly level, and the water table here can complicate any plumbing rough-in. We verify slab conditions before we quote, and we engineer the island’s electrical and plumbing to code without cutting corners. Expect $3,000-$10,000 depending on size, finishes, and whether we’re adding a sink or cooktop.

Backsplash, Tile & Flooring

Tile selection in Sunrise needs to account for thermal movement, the daily expansion and contraction as afternoon sun hits west-facing kitchens. We specify appropriate mortars and expansion joints, and we won’t install large-format tile over a subfloor that hasn’t been checked for level. Backsplash installation typically runs $800-$2,500.

Kitchen Design & Layout

Our design process starts with how you actually cook and move through the space. In Sunrise’s older condos, that often means working within fixed plumbing walls and structural columns that can’t be relocated. We design around constraints rather than pretending they don’t exist. The result is a kitchen that functions better, not just looks different.

Trusted Brands We Service in Sunrise

Groundwork works with 50+ recognized brands across every residential construction category, not a proprietary line that limits your options. For Sunrise kitchen remodels, that means KraftMaid and Wellborn cabinetry, Cambria, Silestone, and Caesarstone countertops, and Andersen, Pella, or Marvin if your project includes window or door upgrades. We stock no mystery products. You choose the brand and tier that match your budget and taste, we handle the build, and every material carries its own manufacturer warranty. Because we’re local, replacement parts don’t ship from a warehouse three states away.

Common Kitchen Remodeling Problems We See in Sunrise Homes

• Unreinforced exterior doors in older CBS units. Pre-Andrew construction often used standard doors without wind-rated frames or proper header strapping. When a storm hits, the door fails under pressure and dumps rain directly into the kitchen. We upgrade to wind-rated models with hurricane ties as part of the remodel scope.
• Corroded rebar and spalled concrete from 40-year recertification findings. Buildings flagged by Broward County’s Building Code Services division need engineered structural repairs before interior permits are released. We’ve seen kitchen remodels sit for weeks while owners scramble to find a separate structural contractor. We handle both.
• High water table complicating slab work. Sunrise’s position adjacent to Everglades conservation areas means the water table rises dramatically in wet season. Dishwasher drains and sink rough-ins on slab foundations need proper flashing and backflow prevention, or you’ll deal with backups during summer thunderstorms.
• Post-storm door track and panel damage. Even if the door survived Hurricane Andrew or Wilma, the track hardware may have loosened over decades of use and wind cycling. In a townhome off NW 44th Street, our crew opened a kitchen wall to reroute supply lines and found the old garage door’s track bolts had pulled loose, a common post-Andrew failure here. We reinforced the door header with hurricane ties and upgraded the exterior door to a wind-rated model before installing Cambria quartz counters and KraftMaid cabinets, so the remodeled kitchen could hold during a storm.
