Gold Hands offers kitchen remodeling in Boca Raton, FL: we install cabinets, coordinate countertop template and install with the stone shop, set the backsplash, and hook up sinks, disposals and appliances. Moving plumbing, wiring or walls is permitted work handled with our general contractor partner. Estimates are free, come from your photos and measurements, and are priced per project.
In Boca Raton, most kitchen calls start with the same complaint: the cabinets are tired, the laminate counter is chipped near the sink, and the backsplash is a strip of builder tile nobody chose. Some owners want to keep the layout and swap surfaces; others want the wall between kitchen and dining room gone. Both are kitchen remodels, but they are very different jobs, and the first conversation is about which one you actually need.
The fastest way to start is a text or WhatsApp to (786) 788-8714. Send a wide photo of each wall, a close-up of the sink cabinet and the area under it, and the length of each counter run. Mention whether you are keeping the appliances. We reply with questions or a free estimate priced for your project, and we can handle the whole conversation in Spanish if you prefer.

Remodeling inside a planned community in Boca Raton
Boca Raton runs from Mediterranean-style downtown condos and mid-century streets near the beach to the gated country-club communities of West Boca, with student rentals around FAU.
In a newer Boca Raton home, the kitchen is rarely broken; it just looks like every other model on the street. The goal is usually personalization rather than repair: changing cabinet color or style, upgrading to a thicker or more distinctive countertop, adding a pantry wall, or replacing the builder light fixtures. Because the plumbing and wiring are recent, these projects tend to stay within finish work.
If the plan touches the outside of the house, such as a new exterior vent for a range hood or a window change, the HOA's architectural review usually has to approve it first, and a permit may apply. We flag those items in the estimate and keep them separate, so the interior work can move ahead while the review runs. Our general contractor partner handles anything permitted.
What a Boca Raton kitchen remodel can include
Here is what a typical kitchen project covers, from the cabinet boxes to the last outlet cover and caulk line.
- Cabinet refacing: new doors, drawer fronts and veneer over sound existing boxes
- Soft-close hinges, full-extension drawer slides, pull-outs and new hardware
- Countertop coordination with the stone shop: template, scheduling and install day
- Undermount or farmhouse sink setting with faucet, disposal and supply line hookup
- Tile backsplash in ceramic, porcelain, glass or stone, with sealed grout
- Dishwasher, range, cooktop, wall oven, range hood and microwave installation
- Under-cabinet lighting and fixture swaps on existing circuits
- Drywall repair, priming and paint for walls, ceiling and trim

Remodeling a kitchen near the water in Boca Raton
In Mizner Park, Boca West, Camino Gardens and the FAU area and other coastal parts of Boca Raton, owners often find that a kitchen remodeled not long ago with indoor-grade materials did not last. Rust on hinges, delaminating cabinet edges and pitted faucets are typical. A second remodel is a good time to choose hardware and fixtures made for humid, salty air, even if they cost more up front. Replacing them twice ends up worse.
Coastal properties also need scheduling around storms. Hurricane season runs from June 1 to November 30, and when a storm threatens, we stop, secure materials and clear the site. Stone and cabinet deliveries can shift when shipping is disrupted. We build that possibility into the plan, keep your water and power usable at the end of each day and tell you early if dates move.
From photos to a finished kitchen in Boca Raton
- Estimate from photos: you text or WhatsApp photos of each wall, the sink cabinet and the floor, plus counter lengths and ceiling height. We reply with questions or a free estimate priced for your project.
- Written scope and schedule: we list cabinets, counters, backsplash, fixtures and finish work item by item, note what you supply and what we supply, and agree on a start date that follows material arrival.
- Permits where required: plumbing moves, new circuits and wall changes are pulled by our general contractor partner with the City of Boca Raton building department (or Palm Beach County for unincorporated West Boca addresses), and inspections are scheduled before walls or cabinets close up.
- The work: demolition with dust protection, cabinet install, countertop template by the stone shop, then counter install, backsplash, sink, appliances and lighting, in that order so each step has a finished surface to work on.
- Final walkthrough: we open every door and drawer, run the water and disposal, test appliances and lights, touch up caulk and paint, and send you photos of the finished kitchen with any notes.
Kitchen remodel timing: short jobs and long ones
Permits and approvals add time before any work starts. If the plan moves plumbing, adds circuits or opens a wall, our general contractor partner submits to the building department and the project waits on review and inspections. Condo and HOA approvals run on their own calendars, often tied to board meetings. A kitchen that keeps its layout skips most of this and starts sooner.

Kitchen Remodeling in Boca Raton — questions we get asked
Which kitchen materials hold up near the ocean?
Plywood cabinet boxes, stainless or solid brass hardware, quartz or sealed granite counters and porcelain backsplash tile tolerate humidity and salt air better than particleboard, plated hardware and porous stone. Fixtures rated for outdoor or marine use resist pitting. We point out where a cheaper option is likely to corrode or swell near the coast, so you can choose with that in mind.
Does my HOA need to approve a kitchen remodel?
Interior kitchen work often does not need architectural review, but HOAs commonly have rules on contractor access, working hours, parking and debris containers, and some gated communities register contractors at the gate. Anything that changes the exterior, like a new hood vent through the wall, usually needs approval first. Check your community guidelines, and we will supply the documents they request.
Do you make the countertops yourselves?
No. Quartz, granite and other stone tops are fabricated by a stone shop. We coordinate with them: cabinets go in first, the shop templates the tops on the installed cabinets, then cuts and delivers them, and we schedule the install, the sink cutout and the backsplash around those dates. You can pick your slab at the shop or choose from samples.
Do I need a permit to remodel my kitchen?
Moving the sink, adding circuits, changing gas lines or removing walls requires a building permit, and that work is pulled by our general contractor partner with the City of Boca Raton building department (or Palm Beach County for unincorporated West Boca addresses). Swapping cabinets, counters and backsplash in the same layout is mostly finish work, and we confirm whether your municipality asks for anything on it. You know which parts need a permit before you approve the estimate.
How long will I be without a kitchen?
That depends on the scope. A refresh that keeps the cabinets interrupts the kitchen only briefly. A replacement leaves you without counters between cabinet install and countertop install, since the stone shop templates on the finished cabinets. Permitted changes add inspection waits. We give you the sequence in writing and, where possible, set up a temporary sink so you can manage during the gap.
