Kitchen Remodeling near Nova Southeastern University
Kitchen remodeling near Nova Southeastern University in Davie usually means a kitchen inside a building rather than inside a house, and that changes who approves the work long before the town sees it. We quote these units on the same price structure as the rest of Davie, with no travel fee and no location minimum.

Most of the kitchens around the Nova Southeastern University campus are not in houses. In the census tract that contains the campus, 161 of 2,044 homes are detached single family houses, which is 7.9 percent, against 40.6 percent for the Town of Davie as a whole, and the two figures sit side by side in the Census Bureau's housing table for this tract. Ownership turns over the same way: 62.7 percent of the occupied units here are rented, while Davie overall is 66.6 percent owner occupied. So the first thing we ask on a call from this pocket of Davie is not what the kitchen looks like. It is what building it is in.
Who Approves the Work Before the Town Does
In a house, the conversation about a kitchen has two parties in it: you and the town. In a building it has three, and the third one goes first. A condominium declaration sets the hours work can happen, how the freight elevator gets reserved, which trades have to carry insurance naming the association, and what gets reviewed before a cabinet comes off the wall. That is not paperwork you catch up on later. It sets the start date.
The other half of this area is that it is not all buildings, and the town says so in writing. The policy the town wrote for the campus district caps any building next to an existing single family neighborhood at fifty feet, which is the town recording that houses sit right against this campus. The census table says the same block by block: one tract to the northwest is 43.8 percent detached houses and the tract on the other side is 2.7 percent. A few blocks can separate two completely different projects, and that is why we ask what you live in before we say a number.
Three things about the work change with that answer, and all three land on labor rather than on material. Material comes in the way people do, through a lobby, a stair or a service elevator that has to be booked and padded, because there is no driveway to set a dumpster on. The water shutoff is often not yours: in a stacked building the line your kitchen hangs on serves other units, so closing it is a scheduled request rather than a valve under the sink. And the floor is a slab with neighbors under it, so moving a drain is a different conversation than it is in a house on the west side of town.
The calendar is the fourth thing, and it is the one that gets forgotten. With six of every ten units in this tract rented, plenty of these kitchens belong to somebody who does not live in them, and the work gets scheduled against a lease ending rather than around a family's dinner. If that is your situation, tell us the date on the lease at the first call.
What none of this moves is the price structure, which is identical in all nine cities we cover. Access and association rules move the labor and the schedule, and that is why we want to know the building before we quote it instead of after.
How a Full Remodel Runs Inside a Building
A full remodel runs $25,000 to $42,000 for a kitchen in the twenty one to thirty five linear foot range. That is the complete job: cabinets, quartz counters, backsplash corner to corner, sink and faucet, hardware, the plumbing and electrical reconnections, installation and finish. Plenty of units near the campus are smaller than that. Under twenty linear feet the same complete job is a small kitchen remodel and it starts at $15,000. Nothing comes out of the scope. The room is what shrank.
The schedule is two numbers, not one. Total time runs three to six weeks from signature, design and the fabrication of the cabinets and the countertop included. Time inside your unit is two to three weeks, and that is the number that matters when you are the one without a kitchen. They stay that far apart because nothing gets demolished until the cabinets and the countertop are in hand. In a building that rule pays twice: an empty kitchen waiting on a delivery is also an elevator booking nobody can use.
Before any of it comes the approval. Florida's condominium statute says a unit owner may not do anything inside the unit or on the common elements that would adversely affect the safety or soundness of those common elements, and each declaration puts its own rules on top. So the first document we ask for is the declaration, not the floor plan.
If the scope reaches a wall, the plumbing or the panel, it stops being this job and becomes a layout change, with its own schedule and its own number. We say so at the estimate, not in week two.
Getting to Us from the Campus
From the campus entrance on South University Drive, go south to Griffin Road and turn east. Griffin runs straight across town and does not ask for another turn until State Road 7. We are at 4491 South State Road 7, suite PH19, just north of that intersection. Off the north side of campus, Nova Drive is the other east to west run, and it ends at Davie Road rather than carrying you all the way across. Bring your declaration or your association's rules if you have a copy, and call before you come so we have them in front of us when you get here.

Licensed, Insured, and Permitted in Davie
Permit requirements are set by the scope of the work, not by the address. The Building Division in Davie administers structural, electrical, plumbing and mechanical as separate reviews, so we identify and price any required permitting, drawings or engineering before the project is approved rather than adding it later. In a condominium there are two approvals and neither replaces the other: the association's sign off is not a permit, and a permit is not the association's sign off. Some projects here need both. The work is contracted, executed and invoiced by Gaven Constructions under Florida license CGC1524886, which is what puts a licensed general contractor behind the job, and the two year workmanship warranty on installation labor comes from the same company on the invoice.

Common Questions
What does a kitchen remodel cost in a Davie condominium near the university?
The same as anywhere else in our service area, because the price structure does not change by neighborhood. A full remodel on a twenty one to thirty five linear foot run is $25,000 to $42,000 for the complete job, and a kitchen under twenty linear feet, which a lot of these units are, is a small kitchen remodel starting at $15,000. What a building changes is labor and schedule: elevator staging, approved work hours and protecting common areas take time a driveway does not.
Does my Davie condo association have to approve a kitchen remodel?
Assume yes until the paperwork says otherwise. Florida's condominium law already limits what a unit owner may do to anything that affects the common elements, and your declaration sits on top of that with its own list: approved work hours, insurance certificates, elevator reservations and often a written application. We cannot tell you what your association requires, because every declaration is different and none of them are public. What we can do is read yours at the walkthrough and build the schedule around it.
How do you get cabinets and countertops into a Davie condo without a driveway?
The same way everything else gets in, only planned. We measure the elevator and the door openings before the cabinets are ordered, because a cabinet that fits the kitchen and not the elevator is a problem you discover on delivery day. Deliveries go into the building's approved hours, common floors and walls get covered, and the old kitchen leaves in stages, since there is nowhere to set a dumpster. That is slower than a driveway, and it belongs in the schedule from the start rather than turning up as a delay.
How long will I be without a kitchen during a Davie condo remodel?
Two to three weeks inside the unit on a full remodel, against three to six weeks total from signature. The gap is deliberate. We do not demolish until your cabinets and countertop are built and delivered, so the waiting happens while you still have a working kitchen. In a building that matters more: the days you are allowed to work are limited by the association's hours, and none of them should be spent waiting on a truck.
Are there any single family houses near the university in Davie?
Yes, and more of them than the numbers around the campus suggest. The tract that holds the campus is 7.9 percent detached houses, but one tract to the northwest is 43.8 percent, and the town's own policy for the campus district caps buildings next to existing single family neighborhoods at fifty feet. Near this campus the honest answer depends on your block. A house here is quoted like a house anywhere else in Davie, with no travel fee and no location minimum.

Not sure whether the building has to approve it?
