Lake Worth Beach kitchens

Small, older kitchens made to work like new

Lake Worth Beach kitchens are often compact, in cottages, bungalows and mid-century homes that were built long before dishwashers, microwaves and big refrigerators were standard. We remodel them to fit modern appliances and storage without losing the character that drew you to the house.

What a Lake Worth Beach kitchen remodel actually involves

Historic districts

Lake Worth Beach has six local historic districts: College Park, Old Lucerne, Old Town Commercial, Northeast Lucerne, Southeast Lucerne and South Palm Park. Historic review focuses on the exterior, so interior kitchen work usually goes through a standard building permit. A new window over the sink or a new exterior door may need review first.

Electrical and plumbing in older homes

Older kitchens often don't have enough circuits for today's appliances, and many still run on galvanized or cast iron lines. We check the panel and plumbing on the first visit and include any upgrades in the estimate, so they aren't a surprise mid-job.

Making a small kitchen feel bigger

Uppers that run to the ceiling, a peninsula instead of an island, pull-out pantry storage, light cabinets with one bold accent, and under-cabinet lighting can make a small Lake Worth kitchen feel much larger. See island vs. peninsula.

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

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 Lake Worth 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.

Lake Worth Beach kitchen remodeling questions

Can I remodel my kitchen in a Lake Worth Beach historic district?

Usually yes, with a standard building permit. Historic review focuses on exterior changes like windows and doors.

Will my older Lake Worth Beach home need electrical upgrades?

Often. Older homes may lack the circuits modern appliances need. We check the panel on the first visit and include any work in your estimate.

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.
