Gold Hands offers kitchen remodeling in Delray Beach, FL — cabinets, countertops, backsplash, sink, appliances, lighting and floors, planned as one job instead of four separate trades. You send photos and measurements by phone or WhatsApp, and we send back a free estimate priced for your project. Homes across Palm Beach County are covered, with Spanish-speaking staff on the phone.
Most Delray Beach kitchens we see were built to the standard of their time: oak or thermofoil cabinets, a drop-in sink, a single ceiling fixture and laminate or tile counters with dark grout lines. Owners usually want more storage, a counter that cleans easily, better light over the work area and a backsplash that does not trap grease. The plan depends on whether the cabinet boxes are sound enough to reface or need to go.
Send us what you have, even if it is not perfect. A short video walking around the kitchen works as well as photos. Add the model of any appliance you plan to reuse, the counter material you are considering, and anything you already bought. Text or WhatsApp (786) 788-8714; our Spanish-speaking staff can take the call. You get a free estimate, priced per project, before anyone touches a cabinet.

Newer homes, HOA rules and kitchen upgrades
Delray Beach pairs 1920s and 1930s houses near Atlantic Avenue and Pineapple Grove with mid-century streets, and, west of Jog Road, gated golf and 55-plus communities built from the 1980s on.
Gated and HOA communities in Delray Beach tend to have specific delivery rules, and kitchen projects involve big deliveries: cabinets on a truck, slabs from the stone shop, appliances and a debris container. We schedule each one with the gate and the community guidelines in mind, and we leave the driveway and street clear at the end of every working day, which keeps neighbors and the management company on your side.
Owners here often want a kitchen that matches the quality of the rest of the house. That comes down to careful details: cabinet fillers scribed to the wall, backsplash outlets aligned with the tile layout, appliance panels flush with the cabinet faces where the appliance allows it, and counter seams placed where they will be least visible. These are the things people notice after the remodel is done.
What a Delray Beach kitchen remodel can include
Here is what a typical kitchen project covers, from the cabinet boxes to the last outlet cover and caulk line.
- New base, wall and tall pantry cabinets, leveled and secured to studs or block
- 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

Remodeling a kitchen in a mid-century Delray Beach house
Kitchens in older Delray Beach houses were built for a different way of cooking: smaller rooms, a window over the sink, plaster walls and sometimes a separate breakfast nook. Owners often want to open the kitchen to the dining room or absorb the nook. Whether that works depends on what is inside the wall, and in houses from the 1920s through the 1960s the answer is not always on any drawing.
Before demolition we look for galvanized or cast-iron drain and supply lines, older wiring and terrazzo under the existing floor. Cast-iron drains under the slab may be due for replacement once the kitchen is open, and that decision is better made before new cabinets go in. Any plumbing, electrical or wall changes are permitted work handled by our general contractor partner with the City of Delray Beach building department (or Palm Beach County for unincorporated addresses west of town).
From photos to a finished kitchen in Delray Beach
- Start with a message to (786) 788-8714. Photos from each corner of the kitchen and a few tape measurements are enough for a free estimate, priced per project rather than from a menu.
- Once you approve, you get a written scope and timeline: which cabinets and counters, who orders what, which days the kitchen is out of service, and when the stone shop comes to template.
- If the design moves plumbing, adds circuits or opens a wall, that part is permitted work pulled by our general contractor partner with the City of Delray Beach building department (or Palm Beach County for unincorporated addresses west of town). We tell you which items need it before you sign.
- Work proceeds in a set order: protect and demolish, install cabinets, template and install countertops, set the sink and backsplash, connect appliances and lighting, then paint and trim. You get updates by text in English or Spanish.
- We walk the finished kitchen with you, fix anything on the punch list, clean up and send a photo report. If something does not work right later, you call us and we come back to look.
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 Delray Beach — questions we get asked
What if you find old plumbing or wiring behind my kitchen walls?
In older homes it is common to find galvanized supply lines, cast-iron drains or wiring that does not support modern appliances. When the cabinets come out, we show you what we found with photos and explain the options before anything changes. Replacing those lines is permitted work handled by our general contractor partner with the City of Delray Beach building department (or Palm Beach County for unincorporated addresses west of town), quoted separately so you can decide.
What does my condo association need before a kitchen remodel?
Requirements vary, but many associations ask for a written scope, a certificate of insurance, contractor contact details and the planned dates. They often set working hours, reserve the service elevator and specify how debris leaves the building. Many require sound-rated underlayment under new hard flooring. We prepare our documents from the estimate and adjust the plan to the association's rules.
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.
Who handles cleanup and debris?
We do. Old cabinets, counters, tile and packaging are hauled away as part of the job, and the work area is swept and vacuumed at the end of each day. Before the final walkthrough we clean dust from cabinets inside and out, wipe down counters and appliances and remove floor protection. Where a condo has debris rules, we follow them.
Can I stay in the house during a kitchen remodel?
Most people do. We put up dust barriers at the kitchen opening, protect floors along the work path and clean up at the end of each day. You will be without the kitchen for part of the project, so setting up a coffee maker, microwave and small fridge in another room helps. We tell you in advance which days water or power will be off.
