Kitchen Remodeling near Pine Island Ridge
Kitchen remodeling near Pine Island Ridge works on houses that went up around the ridge in the late 1980s, which is why so many of these kitchens are original and why they are all the same age. We work these streets on the same price structure as the rest of Davie, with no travel fee and no location minimum.

The houses around Pine Island Ridge are dated by the ridge itself. In March 1988, fourteen acres of the ridge were dedicated to Broward County to offset the park impact created by the development of Forest Ridge, and the State of Florida still records it that way in the management plan for the site. That is the year these streets went in. A kitchen installed with those houses is now thirty eight years old, well past the service life of a builder grade cabinet box in this climate, and it is the reason the calls from this pocket of Davie are so consistent that we can usually describe the room before we see it.
What the Ridge Says About the Houses Around It
Pine Island Ridge is not a name a developer chose. It is a real landform, and at its highest point it sits 29 feet above sea level, which makes it the highest natural elevation in Broward County according to the state management plan for the site that Broward County Parks administers under lease. The same document puts the protected area at 102.2 acres, records the Tequesta on it as far back as 4,000 years ago, and describes it as a Seminole campsite and refuge during the Second and Third Seminole Wars. European settlers arrived in the 1920s and worked it as citrus. What is left today, in the plan's own words, is a narrow upland hardwood hammock surrounded by single family homes.
Those single family homes are the point. The ridge stayed high and dry when the Everglades around it did not, which is why people lived on it for four thousand years, and it is also why the last thing built there was a subdivision rather than a drainage project. The neighborhood arrived late, all at once, and on the standard specification of its moment: a closed kitchen with a soffit above the wall cabinets, a bulkhead hiding a duct run, cabinet boxes of particleboard with a melamine face, and a laminate counter over a run that rarely exceeds thirty five linear feet.
That uniformity is worth more to a homeowner than it sounds. When every house on a street was finished in the same eighteen months, the failures arrive in the same order, and after enough of them you stop guessing. We know to look under the sink first and at the dishwasher return second, because that is where the box swells before anything shows on the door. We know the soffit is almost always hollow and almost never structural, which is the difference between a wall that opens for the price of drywall and one that needs an engineer. And we know that the electrical behind a 1988 kitchen is the item most likely to turn a surface job into a permitted one, because the countertop receptacle spacing of that period is not what the code asks for now.
None of that changes the price. The structure is identical in all nine cities we cover and there is no distance surcharge, because a price that moves by neighborhood is a price somebody invented. What changes near the ridge is what we expect to find once the boxes come off the wall, and knowing that in advance is what keeps a change order from arriving in week two.
How a Full Remodel Runs on These Streets
A full remodel here runs $25,000 to $42,000 for a kitchen in the twenty one to thirty five linear foot range, which covers most of the houses around the ridge. That buys the complete job: cabinets, quartz counters, backsplash corner to corner, sink and faucet, hardware, the plumbing and electrical reconnections, installation and finish. We do not sell it in pieces. A kitchen of this age fails as a system and replacing one part of it while the rest waits is how people end up paying twice.
The schedule is two numbers, not one. Total time runs three to six weeks from signature, and that figure includes design and the fabrication of cabinets and countertop. Time inside your house is two to three weeks, and that is the number that matters when you are the one without a kitchen. The two stay that far apart because of a rule we do not break: nothing gets demolished until the cabinets and the countertop are built and in hand. Demolition on the day the order is placed is how a three week job becomes a two month camp out, and it is the most common thing we are asked to fix on somebody else's project.
If the scope reaches the 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 rather than halfway through.

Licensed, Insured, and Permitted in Davie
The Town of Davie requires a permit for the work most of these kitchens need. The Building Division states plainly that permits are required for construction, alterations, repair, moving or demolition of a building or structure, and electrical, plumbing and mechanical are administered separately and determined by scope. We identify and price any required permitting, drawings or engineering before the project is approved, so it is not a surprise line later. 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 near Pine Island Ridge?
The same as anywhere else in our service area, because the price structure does not change by neighborhood. A full remodel on a typical twenty one to thirty five linear foot run is $25,000 to $42,000 for the complete job. What the ridge changes is the odds of what we find behind the cabinets, and the two items that most often move a Davie house of this era out of a surface job are the countertop receptacle spacing and whatever was done to the plumbing before you owned it. We look at both at the estimate, not after.
Are the Davie houses near the ridge really all the same age?
Close to it, and that is unusual enough to be useful. The state's own management plan for Pine Island Ridge records fourteen acres being dedicated to the county in March 1988 to offset the park impact of the Forest Ridge development, which dates the build out. Davie as a whole has a median construction year of 1987 and more than half its housing predates 1990, so this pocket is not an outlier for the town. It is simply a very clean example of it.
Do you charge more to come out this far west of Davie?
No. There is no travel fee, no distance surcharge and no minimum project size that changes by location. The nine municipalities we cover are quoted off one structure, and a kitchen near Pine Island Ridge is priced exactly like the same kitchen off Davie Road.
How long will I be without a kitchen during a Davie remodel?
Two to three weeks inside the house 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 instead of while you do not.
Can you open the wall between the kitchen and the living room in these Davie houses?
Usually, and on these houses the answer is more often yes than people expect, because the soffit above the wall cabinets is typically hollow rather than structural. But the wall itself is a separate question from the soffit, and once a wall, a sink or a range moves, the job becomes a layout change with a different schedule and a different price. We tell you which one you have before you decide, and that determination is free.
