AfterConstruction in West Palm Beach, FL
Kitchen remodeling in West Palm Beach typically runs $14,000-$45,000, and the single biggest variable is what hides inside the walls of a 1920s Mediterranean Revival home or a 1950s CBS block house: corroded supply lines, aluminum wiring, or a low-slope roof that predates current wind codes. Those conditions surface on nearly every project in El Cid, Flamingo Park, and Old Northwood, and they change the number in writing before anyone picks up a tool. Call (470) 298-9650 for a flat written price that accounts for the house you actually own, not a generic zip code.
Why West Palm Beach Homes Are Different
West Palm Beach runs on two housing stocks, and neither behaves like the new-construction suburbs west of town. The older core – El Cid, Flamingo Park, Old Northwood – is largely concrete block and wood-frame from the 1920s through 1940s, with flat and low-slope roofs and exterior details that sit under City Historic Preservation Board review. Paint the stucco a different texture or change the barrel tile profile without a Certificate of Appropriateness and the project stalls. A few miles east, mid-century CBS homes from the 1950s to 1970s carry original galvanized supply lines and aluminum branch circuit wiring, which surface the moment a permitted kitchen or bath is opened up. Add FEMA Special Flood Hazard Zones along Lake Worth Lagoon and the Intracoastal, and design wind speeds of 140+ mph with salt-laden air corroding fasteners, and the cost drivers are specific: elevation requirements, impact-rated openings, and concealed-fastener detailing on every exterior surface.
Our Main West Palm Beach Services
Two services get the most calls from West Palm Beach homeowners, and both are driven by the same local realities: salt air, flood-zone elevation, and older lots where a fence line or driveway surface has to perform for years against heat, humidity, and code. Here is what each involves.
Fence Installation in West Palm Beach
West Palm Beach fence work has to survive months of ultraviolet exposure, storm-driven wind, and – near the Intracoastal – salt spray that eats standard hardware in a few seasons. Vinyl fence installation runs $3,500-$9,000 and aluminum runs $4,000-$10,000, with the difference coming down to lot length, existing footer conditions, and whether the property sits in a flood zone that limits panel choices. We quote a flat written price before any work starts, and the quote names the exact post spacing and gauge so you can compare line by line. See Fence Installation in West Palm Beach for the full local breakdown.
Driveway & Pavers in West Palm Beach
Paver driveways in West Palm Beach run $7,000-$18,000 and concrete runs $4,500-$12,000, but on older lots the real question is whether the existing slab can be reused as a base or has to be removed and regraded. Flood-zone properties often require permeable pavers or additional drainage to keep runoff from pooling against the foundation. We write the base condition, paver brand, and edge restraint into the quote so the number does not move once the crew starts. See Driveway & Pavers in West Palm Beach for pricing on patios, sealing, and full replacement.

BeforeAfterKitchen Remodeling in West Palm Beach
Kitchen remodeling in West Palm Beach runs $14,000-$45,000 for a full renovation, with the range splitting on house age and what the walls reveal: a 1920s Flamingo Park kitchen often hides knob-and-tube remnants and three layers of hand-laid tile, while a 1960s CBS home will surface galvanized supply lines that need replacement before cabinetry goes in. The historic districts add a review layer no western suburb deals with, though interior kitchens rarely trigger Board sign-off unless the footprint changes. We document every opening with photos, write the scope in plain terms, and keep the project within a few percent of the agreed number using signed change orders. This is the core of our Kitchen Remodeling work.
Full Kitchen Remodeling
Signs you need it
Cabinet boxes sagging, a layout that traps two cooks in a corner, or supply lines that have already leaked once behind the base cabinets.
What it costs in West Palm Beach
$14,000-$45,000 depending on footprint, structural condition, and whether the home is in a historic district that limits exterior wall changes.
How we do it
We open the walls, photograph what we find, write the scope and price in a single flat quote, then replace supply lines and wiring as needed before a single cabinet is set.
Cabinets & Countertops
Signs you need it
Drawers that stick through a Florida summer, delaminating cabinet boxes from years of humidity, or a countertop seam that has opened up.
What it costs in West Palm Beach
Cabinet installation runs $4,000-$13,000 and countertop installation $2,000-$6,500, with Cambria and Caesarstone quoted at honest square-foot prices rather than inflated per-slab numbers.
How we do it
We template after cabinets are set and level, order exact slab quantities, and install with a documented photo record of every seam and corner.
What Kitchen Remodeling Costs in West Palm Beach
| Item | Typical range in West Palm Beach |
|---|---|
| Full kitchen remodel | $14,000 - $45,000 |
| Small kitchen remodel | $9,000 - $20,000 |
| Backsplash installation | $800 - $2,500 |
Does a historic home in El Cid need special approval for a kitchen remodel?
Interior kitchen work generally does not require Certificate of Appropriateness review unless the footprint expands or exterior walls are touched. Call (470) 298-9650 and we will confirm the scope against current Board rules before quoting.
Will the kitchen price change once the walls are open?
Only if you approve a written change order. We photograph what we find and price the correction before any new work proceeds, so the final number never drifts without your signature.
Bathroom Remodeling in West Palm Beach
Bathroom remodeling in West Palm Beach runs $9,000-$28,000, and the local spread has less to do with tile selection than with what sits behind the wet wall: galvanized supply lines from the 1950s and 1960s that have narrowed from decades of mineral buildup, or rotted subfloor from a toilet flange that leaked into the joists for years. On pier-and-beam homes in the older core, we regularly find the floor framing needs repair before waterproofing starts. The Bathroom Remodeling process here starts with documenting those conditions, not with selecting a faucet.
Walk-In Showers & Shower Remodeling
Signs you need it
Cracked grout that lets water into the wall cavity, a shower pan that flexes under foot, or a drain that has slowed as the original pan membrane failed.
What it costs in West Palm Beach
Walk-in shower installation runs $4,500-$12,000 and full shower replacement $3,000-$8,500, with the difference driven by pan condition and whether we are repairing framing behind the tile.
How we do it
We remove tile to the studs, photograph the framing and membrane condition, replace what is failed, then waterproof with a single continuous membrane before any finish tile goes on.
Tub-to-Shower Conversion
Signs you need it
A tub that no one uses but that consumes floor space, or a tub surround that has leaked behind the tile and is now growing mold in the wall cavity.
What it costs in West Palm Beach
$3,500-$10,000, with the lower end applying when the existing drain location works and the higher end covering valve relocation and new supply plumbing.
How we do it
We pull the tub, set a new pan or full mortar bed, move the valve if needed, and waterproof the enclosure with a documented photo record of the membrane before tile.
What Bathroom Remodeling Costs in West Palm Beach
| Item | Typical range in West Palm Beach |
|---|---|
| Bathroom remodel | $9,000 - $28,000 |
| Small bathroom remodel | $5,000 - $12,000 |
| Bathroom vanity installation | $800 - $3,000 |
Does a bathroom remodel in West Palm Beach require a permit?
Yes, when plumbing or electrical is moved or replaced, which applies to most full remodels. We pull permits, schedule inspections, and pass them before the project closes.
How long does a bathroom remodel take in West Palm Beach?
Most full bathrooms take 2 to 4 weeks depending on framing repairs behind the walls. The written quote includes the schedule and the warranty terms.
Roofing in West Palm Beach
Roof replacement in West Palm Beach runs $8,000-$20,000, but on a 1920s Mediterranean Revival house in El Cid or Flamingo Park the real cost driver is the barrel tile profile and stucco texture the Historic Preservation Board requires, not the square footage of the roof. On flat and low-slope commercial and residential buildings common to the older core, we are often repairing ponding water damage that has worked through multiple layers of old roofing. The Roofing work here starts with what the deck shows once the old layers come off, documented in photos before any new system goes down.
Roof Repair
Signs you need it
Stains on the ceiling after a storm, lifted flashing around penetrations, or granules washing out of the downspouts faster than normal.
What it costs in West Palm Beach
$400-$1,800 for most repairs, with tile roof repair running $600-$2,500 when barrel tiles must be sourced to match the existing profile.
How we do it
We trace the leak to the source, open the affected area, photograph the deck and underlayment condition, and repair with matching materials and sealed fasteners.
Roof Replacement & Installation
Signs you need it
Multiple repairs in the same year, a deck that has gone soft in sections, or a roof that predates current nail patterns and simple wind uplift standards.
What it costs in West Palm Beach
$8,000-$20,000 for a standard replacement, with metal roof installation at $15,000-$40,000 where the structural framing and design wind speed demand it.
How we do it
We strip to the deck, photograph the condition, replace damaged sheathing, then install the new system with the fastener schedule and underlayment named in the written scope.
What Roofing Costs in West Palm Beach
| Item | Typical range in West Palm Beach |
|---|---|
| Roof replacement | $8,000 - $20,000 |
| Roof repair | $400 - $1,800 |
| Tile roof repair | $600 - $2,500 |
Does a roofing job in a historic West Palm Beach district need Board approval?
Yes, exterior roofing changes in locally designated districts require a Certificate of Appropriateness. We prepare the material and profile documentation the Board expects, so the review does not stall your project.
Will my insurance cover a roof replacement in West Palm Beach?
In many cases storm and wind damage qualifies, and we document the damage with dated photos that support your claim. Call (470) 298-9650 to have a roof inspected without any obligation.
Windows & Doors in West Palm Beach
Impact window installation in West Palm Beach runs $8,000-$25,000, and on homes built between the 1920s and 1950s the work is rarely a simple sash swap: the existing openings are often out of square, the framing has been eaten by decades of termites or moisture, and the original single-pane units do not come close to current Florida Building Code wind resistance. Salt-laden air off the Atlantic accelerates corrosion on any exposed hardware, so we specify concealed fasteners and stainless components as a matter of course. The Windows & Doors scope starts with a documented opening-by-opening measurement, not a per-window average.
Impact Windows & Doors
Signs you need it
Single-pane windows that shake in a storm, a front door that swells in summer humidity, or an insurance carrier that will not renew without impact-rated protection.
What it costs in West Palm Beach
$8,000-$25,000 depending on opening count, size, and whether the existing frames can accept an insert or require full replacement.
How we do it
We measure every opening, photograph the framing condition, quote the exact unit and rating, and install with the same fastener schedule required by the product approval.
Window Replacement
Signs you need it
Condensation between panes, sashes that will not stay up, or frames that have softened where water has been getting in for years.
What it costs in West Palm Beach
$4,500-$15,000 for a full home, with the spread driven by window count, frame material, and whether we are repairing rotted framing around the openings.
How we do it
We remove the old unit, inspect and repair the rough opening, flash the perimeter with code-required materials, and set the new window with a documented photo record of the flashing.
What Windows & Doors Costs in West Palm Beach
| Item | Typical range in West Palm Beach |
|---|---|
| Impact window installation | $8,000 - $25,000 |
| Window replacement | $4,500 - $15,000 |
| Door installation | $3,500 - $9,000 |
Do impact windows in West Palm Beach require a permit?
Yes, replacement windows and doors that change the opening or the glazing require a permit and product approval documentation. We pull the permit and pass the inspection.
How long does impact window installation take in West Palm Beach?
Most homes take 2 to 4 days depending on opening count and framing repair. The written quote includes the install schedule and the warranty terms.
Home Additions & ADU in West Palm Beach
Home additions in West Palm Beach run $45,000-$130,000, and detached ADU construction runs $90,000-$220,000, but the number that matters most on older lots is the Base Flood Elevation requirement, which can add tens of thousands in foundation and fill costs before the first wall is framed. On a 1920s lot in Flamingo Park or El Cid, an ADU also has to pass Historic Preservation Board review for any exterior element visible from the street. The Home Additions & ADU process here starts with a survey, flood-zone determination, and a written scope that names the elevation, not a brochure number.
ADU Design & Permitting
Signs you need it
A growing household, a need for rental income, or a lot large enough to hold a second unit but too constrained by flood-zone rules for a guess-and-check approach.
What it costs in West Palm Beach
ADU construction runs $90,000-$220,000, with the permitting and design phase folded into the flat written quote rather than billed as an hourly open check.
How we do it
We survey the lot, confirm the Base Flood Elevation with the county, design to the required elevation, and submit a complete permit package before construction begins.
Garage Conversion ADU
Signs you need it
An attached or detached garage that stores boxes instead of cars, on a lot where a new detached unit would not meet setback rules.
What it costs in West Palm Beach
$30,000-$80,000 depending on the existing slab condition, whether the garage is attached, and whether flood-zone elevation requires raising the finished floor.
How we do it
We document the existing framing, engineer the conversion for wind and flood requirements, and price the work as a single flat scope with no open-ended allowances.
What Home Additions & ADU Costs in West Palm Beach
| Item | Typical range in West Palm Beach |
|---|---|
| Home addition | $45,000 - $130,000 |
| ADU construction | $90,000 - $220,000 |
| Garage conversion | $30,000 - $80,000 |
Does an ADU in West Palm Beach affect my property taxes?
Yes, an added unit increases the assessed value, though the exact amount depends on Palm Beach County’s current millage and your homestead status. We recommend a call to the property appraiser before you commit.
How long does an ADU take to build in West Palm Beach?
Most detached ADUs run 8 to 14 months from survey to final inspection, with historic-district review adding time. The written contract includes the schedule with milestone dates.
Brands We Service in West Palm Beach
We work with more than fifty vetted material brands, including Sakrete for structural concrete and Dvele for modular ADU envelopes when a faster assembly schedule matters. Our brands are quoted at honest square-foot and linear-foot prices, not inflated list rates, so the written number stays competitive. Local parts and materials are typically available within a week for all seven trades.
