Kitchen Remodeler Davie: Complete Kitchens, Not Touch-Ups

It is set by the size of the room and by how much has to move, not by your zip code. HomeGuide puts a typical Davie remodel between $12,800 and $21,200; published Broward figures run about $7,000 to $16,000 for a cosmetic refresh, $22,000 to $45,000 for a mid-range full remodel and $45,000 to $80,000 for a major one; and the South Florida guides quoting $25,000 to $90,000 are measuring larger rooms with moved walls. All of those are correct and all of them are measuring different jobs, which is why the spread looks absurd. On this site a complete small kitchen of twenty linear feet or less starts at $15,000, a typical Davie kitchen of twenty-one to thirty-five feet starts at $25,000, and a project that moves a wall, a sink or a range starts at $42,000. The one decision that determines which band you are in is whether the cabinet boxes stay or go. Tell us the linear feet of cabinet run and what is staying, and you will be placed in the right part of that range over the phone rather than after a visit.

For a complete kitchen, usually not, but it is enough for a real project, and the difference is worth understanding before you call anyone. HomeGuide puts a typical Davie remodel between $12,800 and $21,200, and the local advertising you see at $9,999 is an entry offer designed to start a conversation rather than a quote for a finished kitchen. What $10,000 genuinely reaches is one complete element: new countertops and a full backsplash, or refacing the cabinets you already have with new doors, drawer fronts and hardware. Those are complete jobs, not trimmed-down ones, and they come with the same two-year workmanship warranty as anything else here. What it will not cover is new cabinet boxes plus counters plus a layout change. Tell us the room and the budget and you will hear which of those it lands in on the phone, before anyone comes out to measure.

The cabinets, almost every time. They are usually the largest single line on the invoice, and the spread between stock, semi-custom and custom boxes is wider than the spread between any two countertop materials. That is exactly why refacing rather than replacing changes the total more than any other decision in the project: you keep the boxes and the layout, and everything you touch and everything you see is still new. The second biggest jump comes from moving plumbing or electrical, because relocating a sink or a range in a Davie house turns a surface job into an opened wall or an opened slab, adds circuits and supply lines, and often brings permits with it. Countertops are third, and the material choice there is more forgiving than people expect. Cabinet hardware, backsplash and fixtures matter to how the room feels and very little to the total.

Warmer and calmer than the last cycle, and in South Florida the shift is more pronounced than it is nationally. What is on its way out is the cold bright white with gray veining that defined the late 2010s, along with the high-gloss finish and the heavy dark espresso cabinet before it. What is going into Davie kitchens now is warm white and greige, natural wood tone somewhere in the room, flatter door profiles, honed and textured surfaces instead of high polish, and the soffit above the uppers taken out so the cabinets run closer to the ceiling. Integrated appliance panels and full-height slab backsplashes get asked for far more than they did three years ago. Read all of that as a description of what people are choosing, not as advice. A kitchen built properly here outlasts two or three of these cycles, so the things worth paying attention to are the ones that cannot be changed later without replacing the part, like the door profile and the layout, rather than the color, which repaints in a weekend.

Two to three weeks when the scope does not require permits, and four to six weeks when it does. Those are the numbers that actually affect your life, and they are quoted separately from the project total on purpose. The full project runs three to six weeks without permits and eight to twelve with them, but the difference between the two figures is time spent ordering, fabricating and waiting on approvals, and all of that happens while your existing kitchen still works. The reason the in-house window stays short is one operating rule: nothing is torn out until your cabinets and countertops are finished and sitting in our shop. Demolition and installation then run back to back as one continuous stretch of work. Nearly every kitchen horror story is the same story in reverse: demolition on day one, cabinets nine weeks out, and a family eating off a card table until spring.

It depends on the scope, and we are not going to publish a table telling you which jobs need one. The Town of Davie Building Division administers structural, electrical, plumbing and mechanical reviews separately and makes the determination case by case, so a table printed on a contractor's website is somebody else's regulatory advice and following it becomes your exposure rather than theirs. What we publish instead is when you find out. Any permitting, drawings, engineering or design services your scope requires are identified and priced in the written estimate, before the project is approved and before any money moves. As a general shape: work that stays within the existing footprint and does not move plumbing, electrical or structure is far less likely to require review than work that moves a wall, relocates a sink or adds circuits. The determination still belongs to the Building Division, not to us.

No. The site visit, the measure and the written estimate are free anywhere in Davie and the eight cities bordering it, and there is no visit fee, no design deposit and no obligation attached to any of it. What you get is one itemized document, with the work listed line by line rather than as a single lump figure, stating what is included and, just as importantly, listing the exclusions explicitly, because the exclusions are the part people end up arguing about. Any required permitting, drawings or engineering appears in that estimate rather than turning up as a surprise line later. The number does not change unless the scope changes and you approve the change in writing. On timing: the phone is answered from 7 AM to 10 PM every day including Sunday, you will have a response within twenty-four hours, and most people hear back the same evening they call.

Kitchen Remodeler Davie is a kitchen brand operated by Gaven Constructions, a Florida certified general contractor holding license CGC1524886 and working in Broward and Miami-Dade since 2015. Gaven acquired the brand in 2026. Your estimate, your contract and your invoice are all issued under Gaven Constructions, and that is the detail that makes the license and the insurance actually cover your project rather than decorate a website. A license only protects the work it is contracted under. The number takes about a minute to verify in the Florida DBPR licensee search, and it is worth doing for us and for whoever else is quoting you. The reason the brand exists separately is narrow: a general contractor takes whole-house work, and a great many kitchen jobs never fit that calendar. This is where those go, run by the same crews under the same license.
