Cabinet Maker near Bergeron Rodeo Grounds
Cabinet maker near Bergeron Rodeo Grounds is work that starts with a question about age and ends with a question about water. The kitchens in this part of Davie went in earlier than the ones in the rest of town, and what decides whether the boxes can be kept is not the year on them. It is what has leaked on them since.

A cabinet maker near Bergeron Rodeo Grounds opens older kitchens than the rest of Davie does, and the gap is measured rather than felt. The census tract covering this part of town has a median year of construction of 1982. The town as a whole sits six years later than that, and the tract on the other side of the line is a full generation newer again. None of that decides anything by itself, though, and that is the part most people have backwards. Age is not what ruins a cabinet box. Water is. So the first thing worth knowing about a kitchen here is not the year it went in. It is where it has been wet, and for how long.
What Ages a Cabinet Box in the Old Part of Davie
The number is worth stating exactly, because the old part of Davie is usually said as a feeling and this is not one. The American Community Survey puts the median year of construction in this census tract at 1982, against 1988 for Davie town in the same five year survey and 2008 for the tract next door. Read it as a tract and not as a street, because a tract is what it measures. Two houses on one block can still be twenty years apart.
What a median of 1982 buys us is an expectation, not a diagnosis. A kitchen of that generation is usually particleboard carcasses with a melamine face, wall cabinets closed in by a soffit above, and a run that ends in a filler strip instead of a cabinet. The doors are often solid wood and often still square. The boxes behind them are the half aging where you cannot see it, and that is true of any kitchen of the era.
What these blocks change is the odds. When a tract sits six years under the town median, more of the kitchens we open are the original ones rather than a replacement someone already put in, and an original kitchen is the one where nobody has ever looked at the boxes.
This is where the calendar stops being the useful question. The reference the trade uses in this country is the Forest Products Laboratory handbook, and its chapter on the biodeterioration of wood draws a line that matters to anyone deciding whether to keep a cabinet. Serious decay only starts once the moisture content of the wood passes the fiber saturation point, an average of 30 percent, and wood that has already been dried only reaches that from rain, from condensation, or from contact with wet ground. Water vapor in humid air, on its own, will not wet wood enough to support significant decay. It will grow some mold, which is a different problem.
South Florida air still does slow work on an unsealed particleboard edge, and it swells that edge in a way that never comes back. But the failure that turns a reface into a replacement is not the season. It is an event, or a run of them: the supply line that wept behind the trap for a year, the dishwasher hose resealed twice, the floor mopped up against a toe kick that left the factory unsealed.
So we ask about what has happened in the house before we ask about door styles. Four decades is four decades of chances for something to leak, not a verdict on the boxes. We have pulled the doors off kitchens older than this median and found every carcass dry and hard, and we have called for replacement in newer ones where a single fitting dripped for years in the one cabinet nobody opens.
Reface or Replace on a Kitchen This Old
We settle it with the doors off, all of them, and we tell you which job you have before there is a price on anything.
Refacing runs $7,500 to $12,000 and covers every door and every drawer front, with new knobs and pulls throughout. New hinges and a soft close conversion are their own line on the quote, priced when you ask for them. Total time is two to four weeks, and the stretch that happens inside your house is three to five days. Custom cabinetry starts at $18,000, takes thirteen to sixteen weeks in total because the boxes get built for your room instead of pulled from a size chart, and puts five to seven days of installation in the house. That $18,000 is the cabinetry, not a finished kitchen with counters and backsplash inside it.
Both in house numbers stay short for one reason: nothing is removed until the replacement is built and delivered. The waiting happens while you still have a kitchen.
The price does not move with your address or with the year the house was built. Same structure in all nine cities we cover.
Finding the Shop from Old Davie
From the corner of Davie Road and Orange Drive, head south on Davie Road to Griffin Road and turn east. Griffin runs the full width of Davie without asking for another turn and ends at State Road 7, and we are just north of that intersection at 4491 South State Road 7, suite PH19.
Most homeowners on these streets never make that drive, because the doors make it instead. On a reface they come off in your kitchen, get finished at the shop and go back on in your kitchen, and the only thing that travels is a van. If you would rather see a door and a finish in person, call first and we will have them on the bench. Someone answers the phone from seven in the morning until ten at night, seven days.

Licensed, Insured, and Permitted in Davie
Straight cabinet work inside the existing footprint usually sits below the permit threshold, and sometimes it does not. Davie administers the trades separately and publishes its electrical forms and checklists on a page of their own, which is a fair picture of where the line falls. The moment a cabinet needs a circuit of its own, for lighting or an appliance garage, the job picks up a second track that is not carpentry. Moving a sink does the same thing on the plumbing side. Any required permitting, drawings or engineering is identified and priced before the project is approved, so it is not a line that appears later. The work is contracted and invoiced by Gaven Constructions under Florida license CGC1524886, and the two year workmanship warranty on installation labor comes from that same company.

Common Questions
Can the cabinets in an early 1980s Davie kitchen still be refaced?
Often, yes, and it gets decided at the boxes rather than at the doors. We take every door off and check every carcass, because the state of the sink base tells you nothing about the run on the far wall. If the boxes are dry and hard, refacing at $7,500 to $12,000 gets you every door, every drawer front and new knobs and pulls throughout. If two or three boxes have gone soft, new doors screwed to them are money spent on a countdown. You get told which of the two you have before a number is quoted.
Does Davie humidity rot kitchen cabinets on its own?
Not by itself. The Forest Products Laboratory handbook is explicit that serious decay needs the wood above about 30 percent moisture content, and previously dried wood only gets there from rain, from condensation or from contact with wet ground. Humid air alone grows mold rather than rot. What humid air does do is swell an unsealed particleboard edge and keep it swollen, which is slower and shows up differently. So a soft dark corner at the back of a sink base is almost always a leak somebody lived with, not the weather doing it alone.
Is $18,000 the price of a whole Davie kitchen near the rodeo grounds?
No. That is where custom cabinetry starts, and it covers the boxes, the doors and the installation. Counters, backsplash and appliances are not inside it. A cabinet number and a kitchen number get set beside each other constantly, and the comparison is meaningless until you know which one you are holding. Custom runs thirteen to sixteen weeks in total, with five to seven days of installation in the house.
How many days will my Davie kitchen be torn up?
Three to five days for a reface and five to seven for a custom installation. Those numbers are short because the shop work finishes first. Doors are built and finished, or boxes are built and checked against the field measurements, and only then does anything come off the wall. The total schedule is longer, two to four weeks for refacing and thirteen to sixteen for custom, but you spend most of it cooking in a kitchen that still works.
Do you charge more for an older Davie house near Bergeron Rodeo Grounds?
No. There is no travel fee, no minimum tied to the address and no surcharge for a house built in the early eighties rather than last decade. Refacing costs what refacing costs and custom costs what custom costs, at any address we work. What an older kitchen changes is which of the two you are likely to end up buying, because a box that has stood through four decades has had more chances to meet water than one that has stood through fifteen. That is a difference in the job, not in the rate.

Not sure which one your kitchen is?
Take the door off the cabinet under your sink and look at the back corner of the floor panel. If there is a dark line where water once ran, say that when you call. It moves the conversation forward faster than any photo of the doors.
