Kitchen Remodeling in Lauderdale Lakes
Layout, cabinets, counters, plumbing and electrical under one licensed contractor — and the building permit is ours to pull, not yours to chase.
Kitchen work in Lauderdale Lakes
Lauderdale Lakes was built out in the 1960s and 1970s with modest single-family homes and large condo complexes like Hawaiian Gardens, so much of the remodel work is updating original kitchens and baths and replacing roofs flagged by insurers.
Building, plumbing and electrical permits pulled by PSR. Nearly every Broward municipality issues its own building permits through a city building department; the county’s Building Code Services Division covers the unincorporated areas, and the whole county sits inside the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone.
A kitchen is the one remodel where every trade shows up: demolition, rough plumbing, electrical, drywall, cabinet install, counters, tile, paint. Hiring them one at a time means you become the project manager. We run all of it as one job, under one permit, with one schedule you can read.
What's in the scope
- Design and layout. Moving a sink or an island changes the plumbing and electrical plan; we draw it before we quote it, so the number holds.
- Demolition and disposal. Dumpster, protection for the rest of the house, and a clean site every evening.
- Rough plumbing and electrical. New circuits for appliances, GFCI where code wants them, water lines moved to the new layout — all inspected before the walls close.
- Cabinets, counters and tile. Stock, semi-custom or custom cabinetry; quartz, granite or porcelain counters; backsplash to your spec.
- Finish. Paint, trim, fixtures, appliance hook-up, and a punch list we walk with you.
Why the permit matters more here than anywhere
South Florida's building departments enforce the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone provisions of the Florida Building Code, and an unpermitted kitchen shows up at sale time, at insurance renewal, and on the condo's 40-year recertification. We file the application, answer the plan reviewer, schedule the rough inspections, and close the permit at the end. You never go to the counter.

Questions we get asked
How long does a kitchen remodel take?
A cosmetic refresh (same layout, new cabinets and counters) runs about three to five weeks once materials arrive. A layout change with moved plumbing or electrical runs six to ten weeks including permit review, which varies by city.
Do I need a permit for a kitchen remodel in Florida?
If plumbing, electrical or structure changes, yes. Replacing cabinets and counters in the same place usually does not. We tell you which applies at the estimate, and we pull it.
Can I stay in the house during the work?
Most clients do. We set up a temporary kitchen area, seal off the work zone, and keep water and power on outside of short scheduled shut-offs.
