Tamarac’s housing stock is different from newer Broward cities. Most kitchens we see were built between 1963 and 1982, with original cabinets, galvanized plumbing, and concrete block walls that don’t forgive sloppy measurements. That age isn’t a problem. It’s a condition we plan for.

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

We’ve worked in Tamarac long enough to know the difference between a Mainlands villa built in 1968 and a Woodlands North condo from 1978. The former often has a slab-on-grade foundation with original terrazzo under vinyl flooring; the latter has elevated concrete parking plazas and cast-iron stacks that need coordination with the building engineer. That local knowledge saves our customers from change orders and permit delays.

Our Kitchen Remodeling team carries 50+ brand partnerships, including Cambria, Silestone, and Caesarstone for countertops and KraftMaid and Wellborn for cabinetry. You choose the material tier; we handle the fit.

Response time matters in a city where many homeowners are coordinating remodels around condo association maintenance windows. We typically schedule Tamarac consultations within 2-3 business days, and our crew arrives from Fort Lauderdale in under 30 minutes.

Raymond Estevez, who leads Groundwork, has overseen kitchen retrofits in Broward’s older condo inventory for years. He knows the county’s 40-year recertification requirements and how to sequence a kitchen remodel so it doesn’t conflict with building-wide concrete restoration or roof replacement.

Our Kitchen Remodeling Services in Tamarac

Full Kitchen Remodeling

A full kitchen remodel in Tamarac usually means gutting a 40-60 year old space and rebuilding it for modern use. We handle demolition, electrical, plumbing, drywall, cabinetry, countertops, flooring, and appliance installation - one contractor, every phase. In Tamarac’s concrete block structures, we often find corroded rebar and spalling concrete behind old backsplashes, which we flag early so you’re not surprised mid-project.

Cabinets & Countertops

This is where Tamarac’s non-standard legacy dimensions create real problems. We’ve seen homeowners order 33-inch sink-base cabinets only to discover their 1970s wet bar has a 30-inch opening framed into concrete block. Our cabinet installation includes field measurement, custom modifications when needed, and countertop templating that accounts for walls that aren’t square. Quartz and granite countertops run $2,000-$6,500 installed, with Cambria and Silestone among our most requested brands.

Backsplash & Tile Flooring

Original Tamarac kitchens often have 4-inch ceramic tile countertops with integrated backsplashes - a single unit that’s outdated and hard to clean. We remove these carefully, since the mortar bed may contain asbestos in pre-1980 construction. New backsplash installation runs $800-$2,500, with porcelain, glass, and natural stone options across multiple price tiers.

Kitchen Design & Layout

Designing for Tamarac means respecting structural realities. Those soffits above old cabinets? Sometimes they’re decorative. Often they hide concrete beams or cast-iron vent stacks that can’t move. Our design process includes exploratory demo to confirm what’s structural before we finalize your layout. We’ve learned it’s cheaper to design around a beam than to engineer around a mistake.

Small & Partial Kitchen Remodels

Not every Tamarac kitchen needs a full gut. Cabinet refacing, countertop replacement, and new backsplash can transform a 1980s townhouse kitchen for $9,000-$20,000. We also handle cabinet installation and refacing for homeowners who want to keep their existing layout but update the finish and hardware.

Quartz & Granite Countertops

Engineered quartz from Cambria, Silestone, or Caesarstone resists staining better than natural granite - a real advantage in Tamarac’s humid climate, where mold and mildew can penetrate porous stone near windows. Granite remains popular for its heat resistance and unique patterning. We template, fabricate, and install with full sink and faucet integration.

Kitchen Island Installation

Adding an island to a Tamarac kitchen often requires slab cutting for electrical and plumbing. Because Tamarac sits atop a high water table fed by the Everglades drainage system, any slab penetration needs active dewatering during work and proper sealing afterward. We’ve installed islands in Woodlands North villas and Mainlands condos, each with different foundation conditions. Island installation runs $3,000-$10,000 depending on size, utilities, and finish.

Trusted Brands We Service in Tamarac

Groundwork works with 50+ recognized brands across every category, so you’re never locked into a single vendor’s product line. For Tamarac kitchen remodels, we regularly source KraftMaid and Wellborn cabinetry, Cambria and Silestone quartz, and Blanco and Kraus sinks. Our relationships with these manufacturers mean faster lead times and direct warranty support. We don’t stock proprietary brands that limit your choices - you pick the material that fits your budget and taste, and we build to spec, not to convenience.

Common Kitchen Remodeling Problems We See in Tamarac Homes

• Corroded galvanized plumbing behind original cabinets. Tamarac’s 1960s-80s homes often have galvanized steel supply lines with internal scale buildup. Connecting new fixtures to old pipes causes low flow and eventual leaks. We replace with PEX or copper during cabinet removal, not after the new sink is installed.
• Non-standard cabinet openings in concrete block walls. Original 30-inch or 27-inch base cabinets were common in Tamarac’s planned retirement communities. Modern 33-inch or 36-inch cabinets won’t fit without reframing, and that reframing hits concrete block, not studs. We measure twice and modify once.
• Soffits hiding structural concrete beams. That dropped ceiling above your cabinets might look decorative. In Tamarac’s CBS construction, it often conceals a load-bearing beam or a cast-iron vent stack that can’t be relocated. We verify before promising open shelving or extended upper cabinets.
• High water table complicating island and sink relocation. Any slab cut in Tamarac risks groundwater seepage. We’ve seen DIY island projects ruined by hydrostatic pressure pushing moisture through unsealed penetrations. Our dewatering protocol and post-installation sealing prevent this.

Tamarac’s Unique Remodeling Context: What Older Housing Means for Your Kitchen

Tamarac was developed almost entirely between 1963 and the early 1980s as one of Broward County’s first large planned retirement communities. That history leaves the city with an unusually dense concentration of aging concrete block structures now cycling through Broward’s mandatory 40-year building recertification program. For kitchen remodelers, this isn’t abstract zoning talk - it’s the reason your condo board may suddenly require permits and inspections that weren’t enforced five years ago.

Here’s the local reality that shapes our work: Florida’s post-Surfside SB 4-D statutes are forcing Tamarac’s many condo HOAs to fund structural integrity reserve studies and commission long-deferred facade, balcony, and roof remediation projects simultaneously. A kitchen remodel in a 1970s Woodlands North condo now happens alongside building-wide concrete restoration and roof replacement. We’ve learned to coordinate our schedule with the association’s general contractor so our crews aren’t tripping over concrete restoration scaffolding or competing for parking with roofers.

The dominant housing stock - 1-2 story CBS garden-style condominiums, villas, and single-family homes built between the mid-1960s and early 1980s - routinely presents spalling concrete, corroded rebar, flat or low-slope roofs past their service life, and original single-pane windows. These conditions don’t prevent a beautiful kitchen. They require a contractor who factors them into the project timeline and budget from day one.

In the Woodlands North neighborhood, our crew remodeled a 1975 kitchen with original KraftMaid-style almond cabinets, a recessed fluorescent soffit, and a single-basin enameled steel sink. The old supply lines were galvanized steel with scale buildup, so we ran new PEX from the main, reframed the sink base for a modern 33-inch undermount, and installed Cambria quartz counters and a Blanco sink. The entire teardown and rebuild took 14 days, including a dewatering pump under the slab for the new island stub-out.
