Cabinet Maker near Flamingo Gardens
Cabinet maker near Flamingo Gardens is a job that starts the same way every cabinet job starts, with the doors coming off the sink base. What sits behind that one cabinet on these streets is the reason we look before we quote. The houses here went up in the middle of the 1980s, and the age shows up under the counter rather than on the fronts.

A cabinet maker near Flamingo Gardens works on kitchens that were built and plumbed inside the same short stretch of years, and that is the fact that shapes the first hour on site. The American Community Survey's count of when the homes in this block group went up puts 216 of the 600 units in the 1980s, with 178 more in the 1970s and 95 in the 1990s. Mid eighties, then, for most of these streets. That date is not trivia for a cabinet maker. It tells us what is likely to be sitting behind the one cabinet we always open first, and it is why we open it before there is a number on anything.
The Cabinet That Opens a Second Trade
The cabinet under the sink is the only one in the room that opens onto a second trade. Take its two doors off and you are looking at the trap, the shutoff valves and the copper supply lines, joined at every fitting with solder. The EPA is direct about where the risk sits in a house of this kind. Its basic information on lead in drinking water says that among homes without lead service lines, the most common problem is with brass or chrome plated brass faucets and plumbing with lead solder. Not the main out in the street. The fittings inside the wall and under the counter, which is exactly the pocket of space a cabinet maker exposes and almost nobody else does.
That is why the age of a house belongs in a conversation about doors and boxes. A kitchen from the middle of the 1980s has had one set of hands on that plumbing at build time and often none since. We do not test water and we will not tell you what is inside your pipes, because no survey speaks for a single address. What we do is look, say plainly what is visible, and name which trade it belongs to before the estimate is written.
So the walkthrough here has a shape to it. Every door comes off the run, gets numbered with tape and stands against the wall while the boxes stay mounted. It looks like the first morning of demolition and it is the opposite. It is the only way to see the four things that decide the job: whether the box bottoms are firm at the back corners, whether the runs are square and still anchored, what the sink base has underneath it, and whether the widths in your room match anything a catalog sells today.
Two of those answers point toward keeping your boxes and two toward replacing them, and the mix is what we hand back at the end of the visit. A run of sound carcasses should keep its carcasses, because paying to throw away good boxes is just paying. A run with soft bottoms in the wet zone should not have new doors screwed to it, because the doors will outlast what holds them. And if what turns up under the sink is a plumbing question rather than a cabinet question, it goes on the list as its own scope instead of being folded quietly into a cabinet price.
Where the Cabinet Job Ends and the Plumbing Begins
Once the doors are on the floor and we know which of the two jobs your kitchen is, the numbers are the ones we publish for every city we serve. Refacing a Davie kitchen lands between $7,500 and $12,000, and it covers every door, every drawer front and the hardware throughout, because a run with half its fronts replaced is a two tone kitchen with a story attached to it. Two to four weeks from signature, three to five days of that inside your house. Custom cabinetry starts at $18,000 and takes thirteen to sixteen weeks, because the boxes get built to your walls instead of pulled from a size chart, with five to seven days of installation in the house.
Both of those in house figures stay short for one reason. Nothing comes out of your kitchen until the replacement is built, finished and standing in the shop, checked against the field measurements taken in your room. On a reface the doors are sprayed and racked before a hinge is touched. On custom work the boxes are on the shop floor before your old ones move.
Where the cabinet job ends is easier to state than most contractors make it. Pulling boxes and setting new ones in the same footprint is cabinet work. Moving the sink, adding a circuit, or opening a supply line to correct something we found is not, and each gets scoped and priced on its own. You hear which side of that line your kitchen falls on at the estimate, not in week two.
The Drive East from Flamingo Gardens
Head south on South Flamingo Road until it reaches Griffin Road, then turn east. Griffin crosses Davie from one end of town to the other and finishes at State Road 7, and the shop sits just north of that intersection at 4491 South State Road 7, suite PH19. When Griffin is heavy in the morning, South Flamingo Road north to I-595 east and then south at the State Road 7 exit keeps you on the highway for most of the trip. Someone answers the phone from seven in the morning until ten at night, seven days a week, if you would rather ask than guess.

Licensed, Insured, and Permitted in Davie
Most cabinet work in Davie sits under the permit line, and the cases that do not are the ones this page has been describing. Swapping boxes inside the same footprint, with the plumbing and the wiring left alone, generally does not need one. Moving a sink does. So does adding a circuit or taking down a soffit. The town reviews plumbing as its own discipline, with its own permit application and its own inspections, which is why the question of whether something under your sink is still a cabinet job has an administrative answer rather than a matter of opinion. Any permitting, drawings or engineering the scope requires is identified and priced before the project is approved. 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
What does cabinet work cost near Flamingo Gardens in Davie?
It depends on whether the boxes stay, which is why we open them first. Refacing runs $7,500 to $12,000 and includes every door, every drawer front and new hardware across the kitchen. Custom cabinetry, built to the walls of your room rather than to a catalog width, starts at $18,000. Neither figure moves with your address: one structure covers the cities we serve, so a kitchen on the west edge of Davie is priced the same way as one two blocks from the shop.
Why do you take every door off before quoting a Davie kitchen?
Because the fronts are the part that lies. Doors from the 1980s often still look serviceable while the boxes behind them have been through forty humid summers, and the only way to know is to see the back corners of the bottoms. Taking the doors off also opens the sink base, which is where a cabinet job either stays one or turns into a second scope. It takes a few minutes and it means the estimate describes your kitchen rather than an average of everyone else's.
The Davie houses around here are from the mid eighties. Does that change a cabinet job?
It changes what we look at, and it is worth saying carefully. The census count for this block group puts 216 of its 600 homes in the 1980s, and a kitchen of that age was plumbed with soldered copper behind the sink base. The EPA describes brass faucets and plumbing with lead solder as the common problem in homes without a lead service line. That is a general statement about houses of a type, not a claim about yours, and we will not make one about a house we have not opened. We point at what the open doors show and tell you which trade it belongs to.
How long is a cabinet job in Davie, and how much of it happens in my house?
Refacing is two to four weeks in total with three to five days of that inside your house. Custom cabinetry is thirteen to sixteen weeks in total with five to seven days of installation. The gap between the two pairs of numbers is on purpose. Your cabinets are built and delivered before anything is removed, so the waiting happens while you still have a working kitchen instead of while you do not. Anyone promising a custom kitchen in three weeks has not started building the boxes.
What happens if you find a plumbing problem in the middle of a Davie cabinet job?
You see it and you decide, before we go any further. A valve that will not close, a fitting weeping under the trap or a supply line that has to be opened to set the new box is not part of a cabinet price, and we do not bury it in one. It gets written down as its own scope, with its own cost, because Davie treats plumbing as a separate discipline and so do we. The alternative is a number that grows quietly after demolition, which is the complaint we hear most often about the last contractor.
