Fast, Reliable Kitchen Remodeling Across Oakland Park
Kitchen remodeling in Oakland Park runs $14,000 to $45,000 for a full project, and the number you land on depends heavily on whether your home sits east or west of Dixie Highway. That’s not contractor fluff. Homes east of Dixie sit close enough to the Intracoastal that salt air changes the material spec on almost everything, which is why the same kitchen layout can cost $8,000 more a half mile east. We’ve worked both sides of this city, and we know exactly where the extra money goes and where it doesn’t need to. Call (754) 551-2922 for a written price before you decide anything.
We’re Penhallow Remodeling Fort Lauderdale, serving Oakland Park with the same crew standard on every job: background-checked, uniformed technicians, a written price before work starts, and a written guarantee on everything we touch. Trevor Nash leads our team, and the one thing he won’t do is hand you a verbal estimate that changes at the door.
Why Penhallow Remodeling Fort Lauderdale Is Oakland Park’s Preferred Kitchen Remodeling Company
Oakland Park homeowners tend to ask sharp questions, and we like that. Many of the people we work for between Northeast 6th Avenue and Andrews Avenue have already paid once for a remodel that didn’t hold up to the humidity, the salt air, or the shifting soil under their slab. They’re not shopping for the cheapest bid. They’re shopping for someone who will put the price and the guarantee in writing before demo day. That’s what we do, on every project, under the Kingswell standard we’ve operated to since 2004.
When one of our crews heads to Oakland Park, they already know what they’re likely to find. A 1960s concrete block home off Prospect Road with original cast iron drain lines. A duplex off Commercial Boulevard where the kitchen hasn’t been touched since the Carter administration. A tile backsplash that’s been moldy behind the grout for three years because the wall cavity never dries. We’ve seen these homes, we know these homes, and we write our estimates for what’s actually in the wall, not what the homeowner hopes is in the wall.
Reviews from Oakland Park customers tend to mention the same three things: we showed up in the window we gave, the price didn’t move, and when one small issue surfaced six months later, we came back and fixed it under the guarantee without a service call fee or an argument. That’s the 365-Day Done Right Promise, and it’s written on every contract we sign.
Styles & brands we work with
Kitchen Remodeling Company in Oakland Park
A Kitchen Remodeling Company in Oakland Park has to plan around salt air, slab foundations, and humidity in ways a contractor working west of the Turnpike rarely thinks about. A full kitchen remodel here typically means removing a 1950s or 1960s kitchen from a concrete block home, addressing whatever’s failing under the slab or behind the drywall, and installing cabinets, countertops, tile, and fixtures that will survive the next decade of Florida moisture. Oakland Park homeowners call us when the layout no longer works, when drawers are seizing from rust, or when a cast iron drain line has backed up into the kitchen one time too many. Full kitchen remodels in Oakland Park run $14,000 to $45,000, depending on cabinet line, countertop material, and how much plumbing has to come out.
Design, Cabinets, and Layout
We plan the layout around how you actually cook, not how a showroom looks. For Oakland Park’s mid-century floor plans, that often means opening a cramped galley kitchen into the dining area or reconfiguring a peninsula into an island. We install KraftMaid and Wellborn cabinetry, and we specify hot-dip galvanized or 316 stainless hardware on every hinge and pull, because the standard zinc-coated parts corrode within three to five years in the salt air east of Dixie Highway.
Countertops, Backsplash, and Flooring
Quartz and granite countertops in Oakland Park kitchens run $2,000 to $6,500 installed, with Cambria and Silestone being common choices because they hold up to daily humidity without the sealing maintenance natural stone requires. Tile backsplash installation runs $800 to $2,500, and we seal every grout joint properly before we leave. Unsealed grout in this climate wicks moisture from the air and from summer thunderstorms, and mold behind the tile is one of the most common problems we’re called to fix.
Small Kitchen Remodel in Oakland Park
A Small Kitchen Remodel in Oakland Park typically runs $9,000 to $20,000, and it’s a practical option for the galley kitchens in many mid-century homes and the tighter footprints in the city’s duplexes and triplexes near Dixie Highway. We’re not tearing out walls on this kind of job. We’re replacing cabinets, countertops, backsplash, and sink, and addressing whatever plumbing has reached the end of its life. Homeowners along Northeast 38th Street and around Lloyd Estates often choose this route when the layout works fine but the kitchen itself is falling apart.
Cabinet Installation and Refacing
If your cabinet boxes are solid but the doors and drawers have had it, refacing can save thousands. Cabinet installation or refacing in Oakland Park runs $4,000 to $13,000 depending on how many boxes we’re replacing versus refacing. We’ll tell you honestly if refacing makes sense, and if it doesn’t, we’ll say so in writing rather than sell you a half measure.
Kitchen Island Installation
Adding an island to an Oakland Park kitchen runs $3,000 to $10,000, and it’s one of the most requested upgrades for homes that have the floor space but lack prep surface. If we’re adding plumbing for a sink or cooktop, the price lands higher. If it’s a dry island with storage and countertop, it lands lower. Either way, you get the same written number before the work starts.
Trusted Brands We Service in Oakland Park
We install materials from KraftMaid, Wellborn, Cambria, Silestone, Caesarstone, Kohler, and Moen because these brands carry warranties that layer on top of ours. That’s the whole point: the 365-Day Done Right Promise covers our workmanship, and the manufacturer’s warranty covers the product itself. For Oakland Park homes dealing with salt air, we specify hardware and connection components from the same trade suppliers we’ve used for years, and we stock common parts locally so a missing hinge or drawer slide doesn’t add two weeks to your timeline.

AfterCommon Kitchen Remodeling Problems We See in Oakland Park Homes
- Failed cast iron drain lines under slab. Homes east of Dixie Highway, especially those built in the 1950s and 1960s, frequently have original cast iron drain lines under the slab. Oakland Park’s moist, shifting soil causes these lines to crack, and the first sign is often a backup that floods the kitchen floor before any visible leak appears. We replace them with PVC during remodel, not after the floor is ruined.
- Rusted cabinet hinges and drawer slides. Standard zinc-plated hardware pits and seizes within three to five years in salt air, leaving cabinet doors hanging crooked or stuck shut. We specify hot-dip galvanized or 316 stainless on every kitchen we build east of Andrews Avenue.
- Mold behind tile backsplashes. Unsealed grout joints wick moisture from daily humidity and afternoon thunderstorms, and the wall cavity behind the tile never fully dries. The mold grows where you can’t see it. We seal every joint, and we use cement board substrate (the moisture-resistant layer behind your tile) on every backsplash.
- Corroded vent stacks inside walls. On a mid-century concrete block home near Northeast 6th Avenue, we opened a kitchen wall to find the original 1963 cast iron vent stack so corroded from salt air that a section crumbled in our hands. We replaced it with PVC before rough-in, swapped the client’s original knife hinges for hot-dip galvanized, and noted the change order in writing so the inspection sign-off covered the upgraded drain. The homeowner had already lost two cabinet door mounts to rust in the previous ten years.

FAQs About Kitchen Remodeling in Oakland Park
Salt air east of Dixie Highway forces a more expensive material spec. Standard zinc-plated cabinet hardware and drawer slides corrode within three to five years close to the Intracoastal, so we specify hot-dip galvanized or 316 stainless. Underslab cast iron drain lines in mid-century homes often need PVC replacement because of the moist, shifting soil. Those upgrades add real dollars, and skipping them costs more within a decade. Call (754) 551-2922 for an exact number on your kitchen.
We write the change order before we touch the pipe, and you see the number and sign off on it before the work continues. The price we add is the price you pay. There’s no surprise at the door, and no verbal “it got complicated” after the fact. If the drain line is accessible and in good shape, we leave it alone and tell you so.
316 stainless or hot-dip galvanized hardware is what survives. Both resist the pitting and seizing that kills standard zinc-plated hinges and slides in three to five years. We spec these on every kitchen we build east of Andrews Avenue, and we don’t charge a premium for the upgrade. It’s the standard, not the option.
Sometimes. If the line is under slab and in a home built before 1975, we camera it before we decide. Oakland Park’s soil moisture and shifting ground crack these lines from the outside in, and a line that’s not leaking yet may be close to failing. If the camera shows sound pipe, we reuse it. If the walls are thin, we’ll write it up and you decide before we proceed.
We seal every grout joint and use cement board substrate behind the tile. The wall cavity stays dry because moisture can’t wick through the grout and sit behind the tile. In Oakland Park’s daily humidity, this is the only way a backsplash survives without mold. If yours is already moldy, we’ll pull the tile, remediate the wall, and rebuild it correctly.
