Kitchen Remodeling
Kitchen remodeling services from layout and finishes to installation. Coordinated by the same licensed contractor you trust for your roofing work.
What this service includes
Kitchen remodeling updates the most used room in the house, from cabinetry and countertops to layout, appliances, lighting, and finishes. A good remodel improves how the kitchen works day to day while bringing the materials and look up to date. For most homeowners it is part function and part finish, and the best results come from planning both together rather than treating them separately.
In Fort Lauderdale and across Broward County, kitchen remodels have to account for the climate. Humidity is constant, so cabinetry, drywall, and trim need to handle moisture without warbling or swelling. Air conditioning and ventilation matter, because a kitchen that stays damp invites mold and finish problems. Material selection, from moisture-resistant cabinetry to the right caulk and paint, is part of getting a kitchen to hold up in South Florida rather than just look good on install day.
Kitchen remodeling at CIT Repair & Remodeling is coordinated by the same owner-operated team behind the company's roofing work. The business is woman-owned and owner-operated by Citlaly Torres, who stays involved in the project rather than handing it to an outside crew. Free estimates lay out the scope, materials, and approach before any work starts, so you know what is included.
A kitchen remodel usually involves several trades in sequence, including demolition, rough carpentry, plumbing and electrical rough-ins, drywall, cabinetry, countertops, and finish work. Broward County permitting and inspection requirements apply to the electrical, plumbing, and structural portions of a kitchen remodel, and those permits are pulled and inspected as part of the job. The goal is a kitchen that works for how you cook and live and that stands up to daily use and South Florida humidity.
