What a Delray Beach kitchen remodel actually involves

Historic districts

Delray Beach has five local historic districts: West Settlers, Old School Square, Del-Ida Park, Marina and Nassau Park. Interior kitchen work usually needs only a standard building permit, but exterior changes, like a new window over the sink or a new exterior door, can bring historic review. We check your address before we design.

Condo kitchens near the beach and downtown

Condo kitchens come with association rules on work hours, noise, elevator use and insurance. Because plumbing and venting usually stay put, we get more space and storage from the cabinet layout. See permits and HOA/condo approvals.

West Delray communities

In the communities west of I-95, the typical request is opening the kitchen to the family room, adding a big quartz island and replacing dated cabinets and lighting.

The new $7,500 permit exemption rarely applies

Florida HB 803 took effect July 1, 2026. It lets single-family owners skip a building permit for some work valued under $7,500, but it does not cover plumbing, electrical, structural, mechanical or gas work, it does not apply in flood hazard areas, and a project cannot be split up to stay under the limit. A real remodel moves drains, valves or wiring, so plan on a permit. We file it and close it out.

Where we work

Downtown and Atlantic Avenue, the historic districts, Lake Ida, Seagate, Tropic Isle, beachside condos and west Delray communities. Nearby: Boca Raton and Boynton Beach. Also see bathroom remodeling in Delray Beach and our Delray Beach bathroom case study.

How a kitchen remodel runs

  1. Home visit and measurement. Colby measures the kitchen, checks plumbing, electrical capacity and venting, and talks through how you cook and gather.
  2. Layout and local rules check. We confirm what Delray Beach and your HOA or condo association require, especially for wall removal or new circuits.
  3. Written scope and fixed estimate. Cabinets, counters, appliances, electrical and plumbing listed line by line.
  4. Design and selections. Cabinet style and finish, quartz or quartzite, backsplash, hardware, lighting and sink.
  5. Permits and ordering. We file permits and order cabinets early so lead time does not stall the job.
  6. Protected demolition. Dust walls, floor protection and same-day debris removal.
  7. Rough-in and inspections. New circuits, plumbing and venting, inspected before walls close.
  8. Install, finish and walkthrough. Cabinets, templating, countertops, backsplash, appliances, then a punch-list walkthrough and permit close-out.

Delray Beach kitchen remodeling questions

Are you actually based in Delray Beach?

Yes. North2South Renovations operates from 3125 Albatross Rd, Unit B, Delray Beach, FL 33444.

Do I need historic approval to remodel my kitchen in a Delray historic district?

Usually not for interior work. Exterior changes, like a new window or door, can need historic review. We check before design.

How much does a kitchen remodel cost?

Most of our kitchens run $16,500 to $30,000 for a refresh, $27,000 to $47,500 for a mid-range remodel with new cabinets in the same layout, and $75,000 to $150,000+ for a high-end remodel with layout changes.

How long does a kitchen remodel take?

Most kitchens take about 2.5 weeks of on-site work once cabinets and materials are ready. Design, selections, permits and cabinet lead time come before that, so plan on several weeks from contract to start.

Do I need a permit to remodel my kitchen?

Usually. Florida HB 803, effective July 1, 2026, exempts some single-family work under $7,500, but not plumbing, electrical, structural or gas work. New circuits, a moved sink or a removed wall all need a permit, and we handle it.

Quartz or quartzite for a South Florida kitchen?

Quartz is engineered, consistent and low-maintenance. Quartzite is natural stone with more variation and needs sealing. See our quartz vs. quartzite guide.

Are you licensed and insured?

Yes. Colby Matheny holds Florida Certified Building Contractor license CBC1269429, and we provide insurance certificates to condo associations and HOAs on request.
