Cabinet Maker near Western High School
Cabinet maker near Western High School in Davie is the one kitchen trade where the first question is whether the work needs a permit at all, not which office reviews it. The west side of this school zone runs on Weston streets, so the answer follows the address rather than the town. We close the scope with the doors off, before anyone asks which building department will read it.

A cabinet maker near Western High School in Davie answers a question most of the trade never has to ask. On the rest of a kitchen the question is which office reviews the permit. On cabinets it is whether there is a permit at all, because a run of boxes swapped inside the same footprint usually sits below the line and a job that reaches a soffit, a sink or a circuit does not. That line is drawn by the local authority, and the streets around this school are the one part of Davie where the local authority is not a single one.
Cabinet Work Is Where the Permit Line Hides
Broward County Public Schools draws this attendance zone as a closed polygon and republishes the boundary map every year. Its west side does not run on Davie streets. It runs along Weston Road, Indian Trace and Bonaventure Boulevard, which belong to Weston, and the district's own summary of the school describes it as serving the vicinity of Davie and portions of adjoining communities. The rest of the polygon is Davie the whole way, Pine Island Ridge included, which the district labels inside the line.
The map prints its own warning across the bottom: it is for conceptual purposes only and should not be used for legal boundary determinations. A school zone is a school zone, not a municipal limit, and the two lines sit close enough out here that reading one off the other is how a job ends up at the wrong counter. We confirm the address instead of guessing from a map that tells you not to.
For a cabinet job the consequence is narrow and practical. The code the work is measured against is the Florida Building Code on both sides. What changes is who reads the scope, which makes how the scope is written matter more than which desk it lands on. The price does not move at all. Weston is one of the nine cities we quote on one structure, and there is no charge for the drive.
The useful part of the work happens before the jurisdiction question comes up. New boxes in the same footprint, with the plumbing and the wiring left where they already are, generally stay under the threshold. The moment the job reaches past the cabinets, it can stop being plain cabinet work: taking down the soffit over the uppers, moving the sink a few feet along the wall, pulling a new circuit so an appliance garage has power of its own, anchoring a floor to ceiling tower into structure instead of into the cabinet beside it. Each of those gets asked for at a Saturday walkthrough, and each can change what the job is.
We do not publish a list of what needs a permit and what does not. That determination belongs to the building official reviewing your address, not to a contractor's web page. What we do publish is the order of operations. Doors come off and the run gets measured. The scope closes in writing, with those four items named and marked in or out. The jurisdiction gets confirmed for that address. Then there is a number, with any required permitting, drawings or engineering already inside it.
Run backwards, that order is where the surprises live. A scope still open on demolition morning is a scope that can grow after you have agreed to a price, and near this school it can grow into a different building department as well.
What Each of the Two Cabinet Jobs Costs
Two jobs come out of that, and which one you have is settled at the box rather than at the door, the same fork every cabinet job in Davie starts from.
Refacing runs $7,500 to $12,000 and covers every door, every drawer front and the hardware throughout, with the exposed box edges veneered to match. Total time is two to four weeks, and the part that happens inside your house is three to five days. It is the right job when the carcasses are sound, because paying to throw away a good box buys you nothing.
Custom cabinetry starts at $18,000, takes thirteen to sixteen weeks in total and puts five to seven days of installation in your house. It is the job when the boxes will not hold new doors, or when the room needs widths no catalog sells, which is also when the soffit and the tall tower anchoring tend to come up.
The reason the in house numbers stay short in both cases is one rule: nothing is removed until the replacement is built and delivered. For refacing, the doors are finished and racked before a hinge comes off. For custom, the boxes are in the shop and checked against the field measurements before your kitchen is touched.
What we will not take is a partial. Two doors in a run of fifteen is a repair, not cabinet work, and we say so on the phone rather than after a visit.
Driving to the Shop from the West Side of the Zone
From the west edge of the zone, on Bonaventure Boulevard or Indian Trace, or from SW 136 Avenue at the campus end, the way out is south to Griffin Road. Griffin is the south side of the boundary itself, it crosses Davie end to end, and it finishes at State Road 7. The shop is at 4491 South State Road 7, suite PH19, a short way north of where those two roads meet.
There is no reason to make that drive for an estimate, though. The doors come off and the run gets measured at your house, and the door, finish and hardware samples come to your kitchen table. Someone answers the phone from seven in the morning until ten at night, seven days.

Licensed, Insured, and Permitted in Davie
Weston does not hand its permitting to the county. The city runs its own Building Code and Permitting Services Department, which enforces the Florida Building Code and Broward County regulations, so an address on the Weston side of this school zone is read by that office and a Davie address is read by Davie's. The requirement is the same; the desk is not. We confirm which one applies before the estimate goes out, and any required permitting, drawings or engineering is identified and priced before the project is approved rather than added later.
The work is contracted, executed and invoiced by Gaven Constructions under Florida license CGC1524886, and the two year workmanship warranty on installation labor comes from the same company that appears on the invoice.

Common Questions
Do I need a permit to replace kitchen cabinets in Davie?
Often not, and it depends on what the job touches rather than on how many cabinets are in it. New boxes in the same footprint, with the plumbing and the wiring left alone, generally sit under the threshold. Moving the sink, adding a circuit, taking out the soffit or tying a tall cabinet into structure can push the job over it. That determination belongs to the building official who reviews your address, so we close the scope in writing first, confirm the jurisdiction second, and price anything required before you approve the work.
Does the price change if my house is on the Weston side of this Davie school zone?
No. Weston is one of the nine cities we already quote on one structure and there is no charge for the drive, so refacing is $7,500 to $12,000 and custom cabinetry starts at $18,000 on either side of that line. What the address changes is which building department reads the scope, and that belongs to the estimate rather than to the invoice.
What is included in cabinet refacing in Davie at $7,500 to $12,000?
Every door and every drawer front in the kitchen, new hinges and new hardware throughout, and the exposed edges of the boxes veneered to match, with the boxes and the layout staying where they are. It is quoted as the complete run, because a partial reface is a two tone kitchen. Total time is two to four weeks, three to five days of which are inside your house.
When is custom cabinetry the right call in a Davie kitchen instead of refacing?
When the boxes will not hold new doors, or when the room needs sizes a catalog does not carry, which is the usual answer on a kitchen where the soffit is coming down or a wall of pantry storage is going in. It starts at $18,000, takes thirteen to sixteen weeks in total and five to seven days of installation in the house. Most of that total is fabrication, and none of it happens in your kitchen.
How long is my Davie kitchen out of service?
Three to five days for refacing and five to seven days for custom cabinetry, against totals of two to four weeks and thirteen to sixteen weeks. The two pairs of numbers sit that far apart on purpose. Nothing is removed until the replacement is built and delivered, so most of the waiting happens while you still have a working kitchen.
