Kitchen Remodeling › Margate, FL — Updated June 2026
Our kitchen remodeling in Margate, FL targets the city's signature challenge: 1960s-70s planned-city homes with closed galley kitchens, original single-wall cabinets, and plumbing that has never been touched. We are a licensed Broward general contractor serving all 58,796 Margate residents since 1999 — free in-home estimate, fixed-price quote, permitted through the City of Margate Building Division.
Kitchen remodeling in Margate, FL is different from a job in Weston or Coral Springs — and after 25 years remodeling Broward County homes, we feel that difference the moment we walk through the door. Margate is one of Broward's oldest planned cities, platted in the early 1960s and built out through the 1970s. That means our crews regularly open walls in Paradise Gardens and Margate Oaks and find cast iron drain lines, galvanized supply pipes, 100-amp panels, and framing details that no longer meet current Florida Building Code. We do not treat this as a surprise — we treat it as the base assumption and scope accordingly.
When Margate homeowners come to us, the most common request is straightforward: "I have this dark, closed-off galley kitchen that felt small the day the house was built and has only gotten worse." We have opened hundreds of these kitchens across Broward since 1999. In our experience, about 60% of the dividing walls in Margate's single-story ranch homes are non-load-bearing and come out cleanly in a single day — turning a cramped galley into a proper open kitchen that connects to the living or dining space. The other 40% require a beam, and we scope and permit that upfront so you are not surprised on demo day.
We operate as a licensed general contractor with our own W-2 crews — not day-labor subs. Every Margate kitchen project is pulled on permit through the City of Margate Building Division, inspected at every code stage, and handed off with a documented final walkthrough. Florida home insurance and future buyers both require this. Call us at (754) 354-5443 — we answer live Monday through Saturday, 7 AM to 7 PM.
Three things drive most of our Margate kitchen remodel referrals: we know the housing stock cold, we scope value projects honestly, and we come to you within the week. Here is what that looks like in practice.
Platted in 1963, Margate is one of Broward's oldest cities. Homes in Paradise Gardens and Margate Oaks show cast iron drains, galvanized supply lines, and 100-amp panels — we scope these before opening the wall.
Margate is a value-remodel market. Homeowners want a clean, permitted upgrade that adds real equity. Our typical Margate kitchen job runs $22,000 to $45,000 and appraises well at every Broward inspection.
We hold slots for Margate homeowners in 33063, 33065, and 33068. Call before noon and a project manager is at your door the same week — fixed line-item quote before we leave.
Our kitchen remodel scope in Margate is built around the full range of work a 1960s-70s planned-city home typically needs — not just the cosmetic layer on top. Most Margate jobs include some combination of the following:
Margate holds a unique position in the Broward County remodel market. As one of the oldest planned cities in Broward, its housing stock is a decade or more older than typical Coral Springs or Pembroke Pines inventory. That age creates a specific and predictable remodel profile — which is why we scope Margate jobs differently than newer cities.
These two neighborhoods form the original 1963-1970 core of Margate. The homes are single-story concrete block construction, typically 1,200-1,800 square feet, with a kitchen footprint that was designed for a 1965 household that never intended to entertain. The kitchen is separated from the living room by a full wall, the cabinet runs are short, and the countertop is narrow formica over dated base cabinets. In our experience, these homes see the most dramatic per-dollar improvement from a remodel of any housing type we work on in Broward — opening the wall alone transforms the livability of the entire ground floor.
The condo associations in Holiday Springs and Lakewood present a different scope: smaller footprints that make efficient layout critical, and association rules that govern materials, noise windows, and contractor access. We have worked in these associations before and understand the approval process — we provide the license, insurance certificate, and a written scope the board can vote on, and we schedule around association rules so the project actually gets approved instead of stalling.
Homes in the Oriole Golf area and the newer sections of Margate near the 33065 ZIP corridor were built somewhat later — 1975-1990 — and tend to have larger kitchen footprints. Here the remodel profile shifts toward premium finishes, island additions, and full material upgrades rather than layout reconfiguration. These are typically $30,000-$55,000 projects that focus on quartz countertops, custom cabinetry, integrated appliances, and high-spec lighting rather than structural rework.
Regardless of the neighborhood, every Margate kitchen remodel we do goes through the City of Margate Building Division. We manage all drawings, submittal, and inspections — you never have to take time off work to meet an inspector.
Below is a selection of kitchen remodel projects we have completed in Margate across the four neighborhoods that make up most of our volume. Each project started with a free in-home assessment, a line-item fixed-price quote, and a City of Margate permit before a single cabinet was removed. In Paradise Gardens and Margate Oaks, the recurring theme is the galley-to-open conversion — homeowners who have lived with a closed-off kitchen for twenty-plus years and want the wall gone. In Holiday Springs, we work in the condo associations on compact kitchen refreshes within HOA approval frameworks. In the Oriole Golf area, the projects are larger: custom islands, integrated appliances, and premium finishes for homeowners who bought a bigger 1980s home and want the kitchen to match the rest of the upgrade. If you want references specific to your street or ZIP code, ask on your estimate call — we keep a project log by address going back years.
We are a full-service Broward County remodeler with a licensed general contractor's scope — which means we handle every trade in-house or with our own vetted subs rather than handing you a list of contractors to call separately. Most Margate homeowners who hire us for the kitchen end up bundling a bathroom or flooring project, and the math consistently works in their favor: bundling saves roughly 15-25% on combined labor and cuts total disruption to one window rather than two separate multi-week stretches. In Margate's older homes specifically, we find that the kitchen and the master bathroom often share the same plumbing wall — updating both together means one permit, one plumber visit, and one drywall close-out. Below are the other services we offer to Margate homeowners. If you are considering more than one project, mention it on your estimate call and we will scope them together so you can see the actual combined cost before deciding.
Most kitchen remodels we complete in Margate fall between $18,000 and $65,000. The 1960s-70s homes that dominate Paradise Gardens and Margate Oaks typically land in the $22,000-$40,000 range — a galley conversion with new cabinets, quartz countertops, tile backsplash, and updated plumbing. Full gut renovations with structural wall removal run higher. We give every Margate homeowner a line-item estimate with no ballpark guessing.
Yes — this is one of the most common requests we handle in Margate. The 1960s-70s ranch homes throughout Paradise Gardens and Margate Oaks were built with closed galley kitchens that feel cramped today. We assess the wall first to determine if it is load-bearing, pull the required Broward permit for structural work, remove or sister the beam, and deliver the open-concept layout. In our experience remodeling Margate homes since 1999, about 60% of these walls are non-load-bearing and come out cleanly in a single day.
Most Margate kitchen remodels take 3 to 6 weeks from demo to final walkthrough. Older homes in Margate Oaks and Holiday Springs can add a few days when we find cast iron drain lines or aluminum wiring — both common in Broward's oldest planned-city homes. We scope for these contingencies upfront so your project does not stall mid-build.
Yes. Every Margate kitchen remodel that touches plumbing, electrical, structural, or gas lines goes through the City of Margate Building Division. We handle the drawings, submittal, and every inspection. Permitted work is required for Florida home insurance validity and protects your investment when you sell or refinance.
A kitchen refresh — new cabinet doors, countertops, backsplash, and hardware — typically costs $12,000-$22,000 and takes 2-3 weeks. A full gut renovation removes everything down to the studs, often reconfigures the layout, re-pipes the supply lines, upgrades the electrical panel, and installs all new finishes. Full guts in Margate's older homes run $30,000-$65,000 and take 4-7 weeks. We recommend the scope based on your home's condition, not a default package.
They often do. In our experience remodeling Margate homes — which are among Broward's oldest planned-city stock — we regularly find cast iron drain lines that need sectional replacement, galvanized water supply lines past their service life, and 100-amp panels that need upgrading to support a modern kitchen's appliance load. We flag these in the estimate and bundle the work rather than asking you to hire a second contractor.
