Fast, Reliable Kitchen Remodeling Across Wilton Manors
A full kitchen remodel in Wilton Manors typically runs $14,000 to $45,000, depending on whether you’re keeping the existing footprint or moving plumbing behind walls that may not be where the original 1950s drawings say they are. We’re Penhallow Remodeling Fort Lauderdale, and our crews work in Wilton Manors every week, from the waterfront streets along the Middle River to the mid-century blocks around Westside Park. If you’re planning a kitchen renovation here, the first thing to know is that this city has its own rules, and they’re different from Fort Lauderdale’s or Oakland Park’s. Call (754) 551-2922 for a written quote before you pull a single cabinet.
Why Penhallow Remodeling Fort Lauderdale Is Wilton Manors’s Preferred Kitchen Remodeling Company
Wilton Manors homeowners deal with a specific set of remodeling realities: slab foundations, original cast-iron plumbing, flood elevation mandates, and a Planning and Zoning Board that reviews anything that changes a roofline or a setback. Our Kitchen Remodeling team has worked through enough of these jobs to know what triggers a board review and what sails through as a straightforward cabinet swap. Trevor Nash runs our Fort Lauderdale operation, and he’s the one who makes sure your written price includes the scope items other contractors leave off: the flood elevation check, the drain line camera scope, the engineer’s letter for a load-bearing question.
Every crew member who steps onto a Wilton Manors job site is background-checked and in uniform. You’ll know who’s in your home. And when you call us, a live person answers, 24/7. That matters in a city where remodeling questions tend to come up at odd hours, often after a neighbor mentions a board hearing you didn’t know about.
Styles & brands we work with
Kitchen Renovation in Wilton Manors
Kitchen Renovation in Wilton Manors means working within walls that have stood since Eisenhower was president, on slabs that sit a few feet above the water table. We pull permits when the job requires it, coordinate with the city’s building department, and write your quote so the number on day one is the number on the final invoice. A full renovation here generally lands between $14,000 and $45,000, depending on cabinet line, countertop material, and how much plumbing you’re moving.
Layout Changes and Moving Plumbing
Moving a sink or adding an island with a prep sink in a Wilton Manors slab home means cutting concrete. That’s standard work, but it’s also the point where cast-iron drain lines tend to show their age. We scope a camera inspection into the quote so you’re not surprised by a corroded waste line under the slab.
Flood Elevation and Electrical
Wilton Manors sits in FEMA flood zones, and mechanical equipment often needs to be elevated above the base flood elevation. If your remodel includes a new outlet for an island or a relocated range, we check the elevation requirements before we quote, not after the inspector flags it.
Cabinet Installation in Wilton Manors
Cabinet Installation in Wilton Manors often starts with a question: are the walls behind the old cabinets square, and is the floor flat? In 1950s and 1960s block homes, the answer is usually “not quite.” We shim, scribe, and level so doors close clean and drawer fronts line up. Expect $4,000 to $13,000 for cabinet installation, depending on whether you’re refacing existing boxes or installing new KraftMaid or Wellborn cabinets.
Refacing vs. Full Replacement
If your cabinet boxes are solid and the layout works, refacing keeps costs down and avoids a full tear-out. We’ll tell you honestly whether refacing is worth it or whether you’re better off replacing boxes that have water damage from decades of South Florida humidity.
Cabinet Selection and Lead Times
KraftMaid and Wellborn cabinets have predictable lead times, but supply chain hiccups happen. We order early, confirm measurements before the order locks, and schedule installation so you’re not living without a kitchen any longer than necessary.
Trusted Brands We Service in Wilton Manors
We install Cambria, Silestone, and Caesarstone quartz countertops, Kohler and Moen faucets, and KraftMaid and Wellborn cabinetry. Cambria quartz carries its own lifetime warranty, which sits alongside our 365-Day Done Right Promise. If you’re replacing windows as part of a kitchen remodel, we’ve worked with ES Windows and ECO Window Systems on Wilton Manors homes where impact glass is a code requirement, not a luxury.

AfterCommon Kitchen Remodeling Problems We See in Wilton Manors Homes
- Non-conforming setbacks and zero lot lines. Many older Wilton Manors homes were built before current setback rules existed, so adding square footage or moving an exterior wall can send your project to the Planning and Zoning Board. We check setbacks on day one and tell you if your plan will need a variance.
- Cast-iron drain lines under the slab. Original waste lines in 1950s and 1960s homes corrode from the inside out. A kitchen remodel that moves the sink is the right time to scope and replace what’s failing, while the slab is already open.
- Moisture and mold in below-sea-level kitchens. Wilton Manors sits just above sea level with a high water table. Standard drywall behind a sink or dishwasher wicks moisture and grows mildew within a hurricane season. We use mold-resistant board in wet zones as standard practice.
- Load-bearing walls in block construction. Interior walls in mid-century block homes sometimes carry roof load even when they don’t look structural. Removing one without an engineer’s sign-off can crack the slab and void your permit.

FAQs About Kitchen Remodeling in Wilton Manors
Only if you’re changing the building footprint, adding square footage, altering setbacks, or building something a neighbor might contest, like a second-story addition that shades their pool. A cabinet-and-countertop remodel inside the existing footprint typically does not require board review. Call (754) 551-2922 and we’ll check your property’s zoning file before you commit.
FEMA flood zone requirements in Wilton Manors mean new electrical outlets, appliances, and mechanical equipment may need to be elevated above the base flood elevation. That can change where your island goes and how your electrical plan is drawn. We check the elevation certificate on every remodel and build that compliance into the written quote.
In many cases, yes. If the boxes are solid, dry, and level, refacing and new doors can give you a fresh kitchen for less than a full replacement, typically $4,000 to $8,000 depending on door style and finish. If water has wicked up from the slab and the boxes are swollen, reuse becomes risky. We’ll tell you which one you have.
A kitchen island with a prep sink runs $3,000 to $10,000 in Wilton Manors, with the spread driven by whether we’re cutting the slab for drain and supply lines and whether your cast-iron waste line needs replacement while the floor is open. The faucet, sink, and countertop material also move the number. Written quote first, always.
Usually not, if you’re swapping cabinets and counters in the same location with no plumbing, electrical, or structural changes. The moment you move a sink, add an outlet, or open a wall, the permit question changes. We pull permits when they’re required and handle the inspections so you don’t have to chase the building department.
If you’re planning a kitchen remodel in Wilton Manors, call (754) 551-2922 to schedule a free estimate. We’ll walk your kitchen with you, check the setbacks and the flood elevation, scope the drain lines, and hand you a written price before any work starts. That’s the Kingswell standard, and it’s how we’ve done every job since 2004.
