Why Penhallow Remodeling Fort Lauderdale Is Lauderhill’s Preferred Kitchen Remodeling Company
Lauderhill homeowners call us after someone else left them standing in a half-demolished kitchen. We hear it often: a verbal estimate that doubled after demo, a crew that stopped answering, a tile job that cracked in six weeks. That’s why we run our Kitchen Remodeling projects under the Kingswell standard, which has been in place since 2004: a written price before work starts, a defined arrival window, a clean job site, and a written guarantee on every project. Trevor Nash, who leads our Fort Lauderdale location, personally reviews every Lauderhill scope of work before the contract goes out.
Dispatching and scheduling are coordinated from our Miami (South FL) office, but the crews who work in Lauderhill know this city. We know the east-side slab issues off NW 47th Avenue. We know the 1960s ranch houses near City Hall. We know what a flat roof and a coral-rock substrate mean for a kitchen that’s been settling for forty years. That’s not generic remodeler talk. That’s the difference between a bid that holds and one that falls apart.
Homeowners searching for Kitchen Remodeling in Lauderhill need a contractor who understands the permitting reality here. Broward County enforces current electrical, plumbing, and wind-load codes once walls are open. We pull the permits, schedule the inspections, and pass them. You don’t chase inspectors. You don’t discover a failed rough-in at final. The Kingswell Way: say the price before the work. Show up in the window we gave. Leave the place cleaner than we found it.
Styles & brands we work with
Cabinet Installation in Lauderhill
Cabinet Installation in Lauderhill runs $4,000 – $13,000 depending on the cabinet line, the number of boxes, and whether we’re refacing or hanging new. The bigger variable here isn’t the cabinet itself. It’s the floor. On east-side lots built over former swampland, slabs have settled over decades, and a room that looks level can slope an inch across ten feet. Standard base cabinets won’t sit flush. We level and shim against the actual slab, not a best guess. We order after we’ve mapped the floor, not before.
KraftMaid and Wellborn Cabinet Lines
We install KraftMaid and Wellborn cabinetry, and these are not big-box import boxes. They carry real warranties from real manufacturers. That means if a drawer glide fails or a door warps inside the warranty window, you have a manufacturer behind the product and our 365-Day Done Right Promise behind the install. Two layers of coverage on the same kitchen.
Cabinet Refacing vs. Full Replacement
If the box construction is solid, refacing saves real money, often 40 – 60% of replacement cost. If the boxes are swollen from humidity, termite-damaged, or pulling away from the walls, refacing is cosmetic surgery on a structural problem. We’ll open a cabinet or two and show you what we see before you write a check.
Countertop Installation in Lauderhill
Countertop Installation in Lauderhill runs $2,000 – $6,500 for most kitchens, and the material drives most of it. Quartz like Cambria, Silestone, and Caesarstone lands at the higher end, but each product carries its own manufacturer lifetime warranty alongside our written install guarantee. Natural granite runs lower but needs annual sealing in South Florida’s humidity. We’ll explain the tradeoffs in plain terms and give you a line-item quote, not a vague ballpark.
Quartz vs. Granite in a Humid Climate
South Florida’s moisture and heat behave differently on countertops than interior-home climates further north. Quartz is non-porous, which means no sealing and no hidden pinholes for mold to grab. Granite, if sealed properly and maintained, performs well too, but skip a reseal for a few years in a humid Lauderhill kitchen and you’ll see staining. We don’t upsell quartz. We just tell you what the maintenance calendar actually looks like.
Leveling on Slab and Undermount Sinks
On a settled slab, we template the countertop after the cabinets are set and leveled. That sequence matters. It means the undermount sink flange sits flush, the faucet lines up, and water doesn’t pool at the back splash. In Lauderhill, a small slope is open invitation for water to find a seam. We grind, shim, and level before the stone ever leaves the fabrication shop.
Trusted Brands We Service in Lauderhill
We install and service cabinetry from KraftMaid and Wellborn, countertops from Cambria, Silestone, and Caesarstone, and fixtures from Kohler and Moen. For window and door openings that touch the kitchen, we stock and install products from ES Windows and Mr-Glass, both of which carry the wind-load ratings South Florida code requires. We keep local parts inventory for Lauderhill jobs, so a wrong-size cabinet filler or missing hinge doesn’t stall the schedule for two weeks. When the material shows up wrong, one call gets it moving the same day, not next month.
Common Kitchen Remodeling Problems We See in Lauderhill Homes
- Slab settling and sloped floors. East-side Lauderhill homes built on former swampland shift over decades. Kitchen floors slope, cabinets pull away from walls, and standard countertop templates don’t fit. We map the slab before we order anything.
- Hidden termite damage behind stucco and drywall. By the time you see a soft spot, the termites have been working for years. We open the relevant wall sections during demo and document exactly what we find so the next step is a written decision, not a surprise.
- Outdated aluminum wiring from the 1960s – 1970s. Original aluminum branch circuits in many Lauderhill homes don’t meet current electrical code and some insurance carriers won’t renew a policy until it’s addressed. Once walls are open, the upgrade is required.
- Old waterproofing failures on exterior kitchen walls. Humidity and failed stucco let moisture sit behind cabinets for years, mold grows, and nobody knows until demo. We inspect before closing any wall, and never close over remediation that hasn’t been signed off.

FAQs About Kitchen Remodeling in Lauderhill
Slab settling in east-side Lauderhill homes means kitchen floors can slope an inch or more across the room, so cabinets, islands, and countertops all have to be leveled against the actual floor, not the plan. We map the slab with a laser level before ordering cabinets, and we write leveling and shimming into the contract as a known line item, not a surprise.
In most cases, yes. Original aluminum wiring from the 1960s and 1970s is common in Lauderhill, and once walls are open, current Florida Building Code and Broward County amendments require the exposed circuits to be brought up to current standards. We pull the electrical permit, make the upgrade part of the written scope, and schedule the rough-in inspection before walls close.
We document it, write a change order, and get your written approval before we replace a single stud. Our contracts include a framing and termite allowance for Lauderhill homes specifically because this is the single most common surprise we find after demo. You’ll never get a call that says “we found something, send more money” without seeing photos and a line-item cost first.
They can. If we modify exterior walls, alter window or door openings, or touch structural elements, the permit triggers review under the current Florida Building Code high-velocity hurricane zone provisions. That may mean impact-rated windows, additional hold-downs, or reinforced garage doors. We tell you before work starts what your specific scope will trigger, and every change is in writing. Call (754) 551-2922 and we’ll walk your project through the checklist.
Every job is different, but on a typical $30,000 Lauderhill kitchen remodel, you’re looking at a deposit at contract, draws at permit approval, rough-in inspection, cabinet and countertop installation, and final inspection. We write the payment schedule into the contract with the exact percentage and trigger for each draw, so there is no ambiguity about when money moves. Expect to see a written schedule before you sign.
