Small Kitchen Remodel Davie, FL

Fifteen to twenty-four thousand dollars, complete, for a room of roughly twenty linear feet or less, and complete is doing real work in that sentence. It means every cabinet door and drawer front with new hardware, the full countertop run templated and installed, the backsplash corner to corner including behind the range, the sink and faucet, and standard plumbing and electrical reconnections. The published aggregate for a Davie kitchen remodel, $12,800 to $21,200, overlaps that band from below because it mixes cosmetic refreshes in with whole projects; the South Florida guides quoting $25,000 to $90,000 sit above it because they are measuring larger rooms and moved walls. What puts you at one end of our band rather than the other is cabinet grade first, countertop material second, and whether the boxes stay or go. What is not on that list is your address: the same structure is quoted in Davie, Cooper City and Weston.

A 10x10 is the industry's yardstick rather than a real room: about twenty linear feet of cabinet run, which in Davie is usually a galley or an L-shape with a soffit over the uppers. At that size a complete remodel here starts at $15,000 and typically lands between $15,000 and $24,000, and the one decision that moves you inside that band is whether the cabinet boxes are kept and refaced or torn out and rebuilt. Refacing on its own, without the counter and the backsplash, starts at $7,500. Be careful with 10x10 pricing published elsewhere: most of it quotes cabinets only, in a builder-grade series, excluding tear-out, delivery, installation, counters and the fillers a 1987 house needs because its walls are not square. That is why the same 10x10 kitchen appears online at four thousand dollars and at forty. Ask what the number includes before you compare it to this one.

Not a complete one, and we would rather say that on the phone than after a walkthrough. What $5,000 genuinely reaches in Davie is one element of a kitchen, done properly: a countertop replacement on a short run, or a backsplash with fixtures, or refinishing doors that are solid, square and in a profile you still like. Those are finished jobs carrying the same two-year workmanship warranty as anything else here, not trimmed-down versions of a remodel. What it does not reach is doors, counters and backsplash together, and it does not reach new cabinet boxes at any size. The offers advertised near that number are entry figures designed to start a conversation, and the conversation ends at a considerably larger written estimate. Tell us the linear feet and the budget and you will hear which single element it covers before anyone comes out to measure.

Room size, not reduced scope, and the distinction matters more than it sounds. A small kitchen here generally means a run of roughly twenty linear feet or less: the closed galley, the L-shape against two walls, the 1980s Davie layout with a soffit over the uppers and no island. What makes it small is how much linear footage of cabinetry and counter the room holds, because almost every cost in a kitchen scales with that number. The same complete scope a large kitchen gets costs less here simply because there is less of everything to build and install: every cabinet door and drawer front, the full counter run, the backsplash corner to corner, the fixtures. It is worth naming because the industry uses small to mean we did less, and that is not what it means on this site. Size and complexity are independent: a small Davie kitchen can involve moving plumbing and taking out a wall, and a large one can keep exactly the layout it has.

No, and this is the rule the whole site runs on. Refacing means every door and every drawer front with new hardware, in a Davie galley exactly as in a large kitchen. The countertop is the entire run, templated and installed. The backsplash is the full wall corner to corner, including behind the range. What changes between a small kitchen and a large one is quantity, not what is included. The reason we do not offer a trimmed-down version at a lower number is that partial installations fail in a predictable place, the seam between what was replaced and what was not, and a small kitchen makes that seam more visible, not less, because you are standing closer to everything. The one thing we genuinely do not take is a repair inside a service: one door rehung, one cracked tile swapped. That is handyman work and we will say so on the phone rather than quote it.

By the published figures, yes, and by a wide margin. The Cost vs Value study for the South Atlantic region puts resale recovery on a minor kitchen remodel at 109.2% of its cost, and on a major remodel at 50.2%. In plain terms: the smaller project returns slightly more than it costs, and the larger one returns about half. Those are ratios rather than dollar amounts, which is why they are worth citing here, because a ratio is not distorted by the fact that the study's regional package includes appliances and flooring this business does not sell. What the numbers do not say is that you should always choose the smaller job. If you are staying in the Davie house for fifteen years and the layout is the thing making you unhappy, resale recovery is the wrong metric to optimize. If you are selling within two or three years, it is close to the only metric that matters, and it points clearly at the minor remodel.

Two to three weeks when the scope does not require permits, and four to six when it does. Those are the numbers that matter to you, and they are deliberately quoted separately from the project total of three to six weeks without permits and eight to twelve with them, because the total includes ordering, fabrication and approvals that happen while your existing kitchen is still working. The reason the in-house window stays short is one operating rule: nothing is torn out until the cabinets and the countertop are finished and sitting in our shop. Demolition and installation then run back to back as a single continuous stretch rather than a series of waits. Almost every kitchen horror story you have heard is the same story in reverse: demolition on day one, cabinets nine weeks out, and a family eating off a card table for two months. Both numbers get said out loud before you sign anything.
