Kitchen Remodeling Contractors in West Palm Beach
Plenty of kitchen pages are interchangeable cabinet-and-counter copy. The real West Palm Beach kitchen project is usually bigger than finishes: opening a closed-off galley into the living space. In a mid-century or ranch home, that wall often carries load, so it becomes a structural job done right. Palmhouse Design & Build plans the structure and the finishes together.
We are a licensed design-build firm (Florida CGC1537109) and a luxury home remodeler in Palm Beach County, with 20+ years of high-end kitchen work in the area. Design, permits, and build run under one contract.
Kitchen Renovations in Downtown and Waterfront Condominiums
A high-rise kitchen is a logistics job with cabinetry attached. The building sets more of the schedule than the design does.
Freight elevator time is booked, not assumed, and most buildings release it in windows rather than for the day. Demolition debris comes down the same elevator everything goes up in. Work hours are set by the association and are usually narrower than a single-family job allows.
Sound transmission is the requirement owners underestimate. Replacing flooring in a multi-family unit means an underlayment specification rated at STC 50 or better, and the spec sheet goes in with the permit package. Boards enforce it because the unit below complains.
We handle the association submittal, certificates of insurance for every trade, elevator and freight scheduling, and protection for common corridors and lobbies. Our luxury kitchen remodeling in Palm Beach County services are backed by Florida contractor license CGC1537109. Call 561-831-4170.
Opening Up The Kitchen The Right Way
The open-concept conversion is the most-requested kitchen change here. The wall between your galley and the living room usually carries roof or shear load. Removing it means stamped engineer calcs, a structural permit, and a beam sized to do the job, plus a pre-drywall inspection before anything gets closed up. We handle all of it so the new open space is safe and passes the first time, not flagged at inspection.
Condo Kitchens And Shared Plumbing
In a condo tower, moving the sink or appliances can cross shared plumbing stacks. That triggers association approval on top of the city permit. We prepare the association submittal and confirm what can move before we design the layout, so you are not redrawing the kitchen after the fact.
The Permits A Kitchen Really Pulls
A full kitchen remodel here usually pulls several permits at once: building for any structural change, electrical for appliance circuits and lighting, and plumbing for fixture moves. If a kitchen window gets replaced, impact-rated or protected openings are required to code in this wind-borne debris region. We pull and coordinate the permits in-house, as a defined phase that finishes before demolition.
If your home predates 1978, we provide the EPA Renovate Right lead hazard guidance before demolition begins.
How We Keep It On Track
You get a written scope and price before work starts. Any change order waits for your written approval, so a kitchen budget does not creep. Every trade works under our contract, which means one agreement and one accountable team. Cabinet, counter, and appliance selections get confirmed before we order, which is how a kitchen stays on schedule.
One project manager runs the job and answers the phone through the final walkthrough. In an occupied home we set up clean work zones and protect the rest of the house.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you open up my kitchen into the living room?
Yes. In most mid-century and ranch homes that wall carries load, so we use stamped engineer calcs, pull a structural permit, and size a beam. A pre-drywall inspection confirms it before close-up.
Do I need a permit to remodel a kitchen in West Palm Beach?
A full remodel usually pulls building, electrical, and plumbing permits at once. We pull and coordinate them in-house before demolition begins.
Can the kitchen layout be changed in a condo?
Often, but moving the sink or appliances can cross shared plumbing stacks, which needs association approval plus a city permit. We confirm what can move before we design the layout.
How long does a luxury kitchen remodel take?
Most run several weeks of active work, longer when structural changes or custom cabinetry are involved. We give you a realistic schedule with your written scope and price.
