Cabinet Maker near Nova Southeastern University
Cabinet maker near Nova Southeastern University in Davie is a trade where the way in decides as much as the room does: more than half the homes on these blocks sit in buildings of ten units or more, with no driveway to back a truck onto. That does not change whether your boxes are sound. It changes what each answer costs you in days.

A cabinet maker near Nova Southeastern University answers a question that a cabinet maker in a house never has to ask, which is how the cabinets get in at all. In the census tract that holds the campus, 1,079 of 2,044 homes sit in buildings of ten units or more, and only 161 are detached houses. There is no driveway to back a truck onto and nowhere to set a dumpster, so every box that leaves and every box that arrives goes up a stair or into an elevator, on hours somebody else keeps. The first thing to settle here is not which door you want. It is what has to fit through the way in, and that gets decided in the shop rather than on delivery day.
What Has to Fit Before the Kitchen Does
Treat the two answers as freight and the difference is easy to see. Refacing sends doors and drawer fronts. They are flat, they are light, they stack on one cart, and they go up in a single trip while the boxes stay screwed to the wall. Replacing the cabinets is the opposite. Every old box comes down that stair and every new one goes up it, and a wall cabinet is a hollow shape that will not fold. A tall pantry is the hard case, and what stops it is rarely the doorway. It is the turn at the landing, where the full length of the cabinet has to swing through an angle nobody laid out with furniture in mind. We settle that when we take the measurements, which is why we measure the route and not only the room.
When the work can happen is the other half of it, and Davie has written down a standard for that. The town's code chapter on noise treats the area within five hundred feet of any school or institution of learning as noise sensitive, and it addresses the loading and unloading of building materials between seven at night and seven in the morning rather than leaving it open. Your building will have hours of its own on top of that, because each declaration writes them. A delivery on these blocks gets booked, not improvised.
What the route decides next is what gets built to suit it, and the housing around this campus is older than the town it stands in. The median home in the tract dates to 1984 against 1988 for Davie as a whole, and the Census Bureau's table of when the homes in this tract were built puts 788 of them, 38.6 percent, in the years 1970 to 1979, with nothing added here since 2009. The kitchen you are looking at is very likely the one the building was finished with.
Stock cabinet widths are not what they were then. Hold a catalog against a kitchen from that decade and you get filler strips at the wall, beside the refrigerator and next to the range, which is a run of new cabinets with gaps engineered into it. That is the plain reason custom boxes come up more often here than in a newer subdivision. The sizes have to be made instead of picked.
What none of this changes is the test for refacing. That is still the box. Press the bottom panel of the sink cabinet at the back corner. If it is firm, you have carcasses worth keeping, and the building is not a reason to throw them away. If it gives under your thumb, that box is finished, and the building becomes what decides the cost of replacing it in days.
What Each Answer Costs in Days Inside the Unit
We take the doors off and tell you which of the two you have before there is a price on anything. Refacing runs $7,500 to $12,000 and covers every door, every drawer front and all the hardware. Total time is two to four weeks, and the work inside your unit is three to five days. Custom cabinetry starts at $18,000 and takes thirteen to sixteen weeks in total, because the boxes are built for your room instead of pulled from a size chart, with five to seven days of installation inside the unit.
The distance between those pairs of numbers is deliberate, and one rule creates it: nothing comes out until the replacement is built and delivered. On a reface the doors are sprayed, cured and racked before a hinge is touched. On custom the boxes are stacked in the shop and checked against the field measurements before your kitchen loses a cabinet. Here that rule spares you trips, because a day you can carry material along a shared walkway is too useful to spend waiting on a finish to dry. The price behind it is the one we quote in every city we cover.
What we will not take is a partial. Two new boxes in a run of fifteen is a repair, and it will not match a finish that has been on the wall for decades. Somebody will sell you that. It should not be a cabinet maker.
The Drive East from University Drive
From the campus on South University Drive, head south to Griffin Road and turn east. Griffin runs straight across Davie and does not ask for another turn. Stay on it until State Road 7. We are at 4491 South State Road 7, suite PH19, just north of that intersection.
You do not have to come at all for the first conversation, and most people here do better on the phone with a tape measure in hand. Bring the access numbers rather than the kitchen dimensions: those decide what we can build in one piece. We answer the phone from seven in the morning until ten at night, seven days a week.

Licensed, Insured, and Permitted in Davie
Cabinet work inside the existing footprint usually sits under the permit line. Replacing boxes where the old ones stood, with no change to plumbing or electrical, generally does not require one. Moving a sink, adding a circuit for an appliance garage or taking a soffit out can, and Davie administers structural, electrical, plumbing and mechanical as separate reviews depending on scope. Any permitting, drawings or engineering the job needs is identified and priced before you approve the project rather than added later. Your association's sign off is separate, and some jobs here need it as well. 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 cabinets be refaced in a condominium near the university in Davie?
Yes, and the building has nothing to do with whether they can. That is decided at the box. Press the bottom of the sink cabinet at the back corner, and if it is firm you are probably a refacing candidate at $7,500 to $12,000. What the building decides is the cost of the other answer, since a replacement takes every old box down the same stair the new ones come up.
Will custom cabinets fit through the door of a Davie condominium?
They will, because we measure the route before the boxes are ordered: the clear width of the unit door, the elevator if there is one, and the landing at the top of the stair, which is usually the tightest point of the trip. A tall cabinet is stopped by a turn far more often than by a doorway. Taking those numbers first keeps a fitting problem in the shop, where it is a drawing, instead of on the walkway, where it is a delivery going back on the truck.
Why are the kitchens near the university older than the rest of Davie?
Because this pocket was built earlier and then stopped. The median home in the tract that holds the campus dates to 1984, against 1988 for the Town of Davie as a whole, and 788 of these homes, 38.6 percent of them, went up between 1970 and 1979. Nothing has been added here since 2009. An original kitchen here has more years on it than one almost anywhere else in town.
Are the cabinets in these Davie buildings a standard size?
Not to any catalog you can order from today. Stock widths changed after these kitchens were installed, so ordering to the nearest size leaves filler strips at the wall and at the appliances, and an original run gives you nowhere to hide them. That is why custom boxes come up so often on these blocks. We measure what is there and build to it.
When can cabinets be delivered near the campus in Davie?
Inside working hours, and booked ahead. Davie's noise chapter treats the ground within five hundred feet of an institution of learning as a noise sensitive area, and it addresses the loading and unloading of building materials between seven at night and seven in the morning, which is worth planning against rather than testing. Your building will have hours of its own on top of that. Tell us those at the first call and the delivery gets scheduled around them.
