Kitchen Remodeling
The kitchen is where Boca Raton homes either work or don't. It's where coffee happens before the commute, where the grandkids do homework, and where everyone ends up when guests come over. If your kitchen fights you every day, with too little counter space, a dead-end layout or cabinets that have seen better decades, you feel it.
Kitchen Remodeling
Most kitchens get remodeled for looks. The good ones get remodeled for the way people use them.
Before we choose a single cabinet door, we ask how your kitchen runs. Who cooks, and how often? Do you host big holiday dinners or quiet weeknight meals? Do two people need to prep at the same time? Is the island for eating, working or both? Do you keep kosher, bake seriously, or need a coffee station that keeps the morning traffic out of the cooking zone?
Those answers decide where the sink goes, how big the island should be, which wall loses its upper cabinets, and whether the pantry needs to be a walk-in. The finishes come after. That order is why a MIA kitchen still feels right years after the trend photos have changed.
Every part of the kitchen is handled by one team, so the cabinet installer, the plumber and the countertop crew are working from the same plan instead of blaming each other.
Our in-house design team builds your new kitchen in 3D before anything is ordered. You see cabinet heights, island clearances, appliance placement and finish combinations from every angle, and you can change your mind on screen instead of on the jobsite. For Boca Raton homeowners searching for custom kitchen design, this is where the project becomes real.
Cabinets take up most of the kitchen's visual space and much of its budget, so we help you choose where to spend. We offer semi-custom and fully custom lines in Shaker, slab, inset and raised-panel styles, with plywood box construction recommended for Florida humidity. Inside, we plan for how you store things: deep drawers for pots, pull-out spice racks, appliance garages, tray dividers, trash and recycling pull-outs, and tall pantry units. Professional kitchen cabinet installation in Boca Raton is part of every project, leveled and scribed to walls that are rarely perfectly straight.
We fabricate and install quartz, quartzite, granite, marble, porcelain slab and solid surface countertops. Each has a different balance of durability, maintenance and look, and we walk you through them honestly. Quartz suits busy families who want low maintenance. Marble develops a patina that some homeowners love and others don't. Backsplashes run from classic subway tile to full-height slab that continues the countertop up the wall.
The island is usually the hardest-working piece in a Boca kitchen. We size islands for real clearances, plan seating overhangs that are comfortable for adults, and build in prep sinks, beverage fridges, microwave drawers, outlets and storage on the back side. Waterfall edges, contrasting colors and furniture-style legs make it the centerpiece without making it a walking obstacle.
This is where kitchen remodels go wrong when contractors subcontract. MIA holds a Florida Certified Plumbing Contractor license, so relocating a sink to the island, adding a pot filler, running a new gas line for a range, or adding a second dishwasher is handled by our own licensed team. We plan dedicated appliance circuits, under-cabinet lighting, pendants over the island and layered recessed lighting so the kitchen works at every hour.
New kitchens often expose old flooring problems. We coordinate porcelain tile, natural stone, engineered hardwood or luxury vinyl plank so the kitchen floor connects cleanly to the rooms around it, then finish with trim, paint and hardware.
Boca Raton is home to a large observant Jewish community, and a kosher kitchen needs planning most contractors skip. We design yours around separation and workflow:
Separate meat and dairy sinks are placed so two cooks can work at the same time without crossing paths or sharing a wash area.
Each dishwasher sits beside its matching sink and is often paneled to blend into the cabinetry, keeping meat and dairy dishes always fully separate.
Dedicated counter runs or a split island give meat and dairy preparation their own surfaces, so nothing has to share space during busy meals.
Zone-separated or color-coded cabinets neatly organize meat, dairy and pareve items, with additional storage set aside for Passover dishes, cookware, linens and serving pieces.
Double wall ovens, a range paired with a wall oven, or a second oven in a scullery make separate cooking simple during large holidays.
We help you select ovens, refrigerators and cooktops with Sabbath mode, and plan their placement, venting and electrical needs during the early design stage.
We plan space for a Passover setup, such as a secondary prep area or scullery, so the holiday never takes over your main kitchen. Requirements differ by household and community, so we recommend confirming materials and layout details with your rabbi. We build to the standard you follow.

The right layout depends on the house. These are the changes we make most often:
– Opening a closed kitchen: Common in 1970s and 1980s Boca homes. When a wall comes down, we confirm whether it is load-bearing and engineer the beam if needed.
– Galley to open plan: Turning a narrow corridor kitchen into a space that connects to the family room.
– Adding an island: Turning an L-shape into an L plus island when clearances allow, or sizing the island down when they don't.
– Relocating the sink or range: Moving the cooking zone to the island or the sink to the window, with plumbing and gas handled in-house.
– Adding a scullery or butler's pantry: A second, hidden prep area for entertaining and messy cooking. Popular in larger West Boca homes.
Every style below can be adapted to your home's architecture and your taste. These are the looks Boca homeowners often request:
Flat-panel cabinets, slim or hidden pulls, quartz or porcelain slab surfaces and integrated appliances create a clean, minimal kitchen that feels calm and uncluttered.
Shaker doors, warm whites or soft greige, and brass or matte black hardware blend classic and modern, fitting in Boca homes of any age.
Light woods, white oak, soft blues and natural textures bring a relaxed, airy feel that suits East Boca homes and residences along the Intracoastal.
Raised-panel or inset cabinetry, crown molding, decorative range hoods and furniture-style islands give classic Boca homes a timeless kitchen full of rich architectural detail.
Warm stone, arched range hoods, textured plaster and rich wood tones echo the Mizner-inspired architecture found throughout Boca Raton's most iconic and historic neighborhoods.
Kitchen Remodeling
For larger homes and country club residences, the kitchen is often a showpiece as well as a workspace. Our luxury kitchen remodeling includes panel-ready refrigeration, professional ranges, steam ovens, wine columns, custom range hoods, quartzite or book-matched marble, full-height slab backsplashes, sculleries and butler's pantries with second dishwashers and beverage centers. The design still starts with function, so the finished kitchen is as easy to cook in as it is to look at.
Condo kitchens come with rules a single-family house doesn't have. We plan around them from the very first visit:
We prepare the approval package, contractor insurance certificates and scope documents your association requires, and submit them before any work begins in your unit.
Condo sinks usually need to stay near the building's existing risers. We design layouts that work with those limits instead of fighting the building.
Many Boca condo buildings prohibit exterior venting. We specify recirculating range hoods with quality filters that still capture grease, smoke and cooking odors effectively.
Many condos have no gas service, so we recommend induction or high-performance electric cooktops that heat quickly, clean easily and satisfy serious home cooks.
We book elevators, follow approved work hours, protect hallways and common areas, and remove debris daily so neighbors and management stay on your side.

Moving plumbing, adding electrical circuits, running gas or removing walls generally requires a permit. Whether it comes from the City of Boca Raton Building Division or from Palm Beach County depends on whether your address is inside city limits, and many West Boca addresses are not. We check your jurisdiction first, prepare the drawings, submit the permit and schedule the inspections. If you live in an HOA, a gated community or a condo, we add the association approval to the timeline as well.
A Boca Raton kitchen faces heat, humidity and salt air every day. We build with those conditions in mind:
Plywood cabinet boxes and quality factory finishes resist swelling better than particleboard in Florida's humidity, keeping doors aligned and drawers sliding smoothly for years.
East of US-1 and along the Intracoastal, salt air corrodes cheap finishes. We specify faucets, pulls and hinges with finishes built for coastal exposure.
A correctly sized range hood removes heat, grease and moisture before they settle on cabinets and ceilings, which matters more in a humid climate.
Many older Boca homes have aging cast iron drain lines. Our licensed plumbers inspect them while walls are open and replace sections showing failure.
A light kitchen refresh and a full luxury remodel sit at opposite ends of the budget. These factors decide where yours lands:
Keeping sinks, appliances and walls where they are costs less than relocating them. Every moved wall, drain or gas line adds labor and permits.
Semi-custom and fully custom cabinetry differ in price, finish options and lead times. Specialty inserts like pull-outs, organizers and appliance garages add up quickly.
Quartz, granite, quartzite, marble and porcelain slab vary widely in price. Edge profiles, waterfall ends and full-height backsplashes also increase fabrication and installation costs.
Standard appliances, panel-ready models and professional ranges sit at very different price points. Some upgrades also require new electrical circuits, gas lines or ventilation.
City or county permits, engineering for wall removal, and HOA or condo approval requirements all belong in the budget from the very first estimate.
Cast iron drains, outdated wiring, termite damage or uneven subfloors sometimes appear during demolition. We plan a contingency so surprises never derail the project. Your free 3D design comes with a transparent, itemized estimate, so you can see every cost and adjust scope before you commit.
Our Process
Remodeling a kitchen involves dozens of decisions. This is the order we follow, so you always know exactly what comes next:
We measure the space, watch how your kitchen works day to day, and discuss priorities, must-haves and a budget range before any design starts.
Our designers build your complete layout, cabinetry, countertops and finishes in 3D. We refine every detail with you until the kitchen feels exactly right.
You finalize cabinets, stone, fixtures and appliances. We place orders, prepare drawings and submit city, county and association paperwork while your materials are produced.
Demolition, rough plumbing and electrical, inspections, cabinets, countertops, backsplash and finishes follow a set sequence, with one project manager updating you at every stage.
We walk the finished kitchen with you, test every appliance, faucet and fixture, complete any punch list items and hand over manufacturer warranty documents.
A kitchen remodel touches design, plumbing, electrical and permits all at once. Here's why Boca Raton homeowners trust MIA to handle every part of it:
Showrooms stop at selling cabinets. MIA designs the layout, pulls the permits, builds the kitchen and moves plumbing, so nothing falls between separate companies.
We hold Certified General Contractor license CGC1535875 and Certified Plumbing Contractor CFC1434602, which means sinks, gas lines and dishwashers are handled by licensed pros.
You see cabinet heights, island clearances and finish combinations in 3D before anything is ordered. Changes happen on screen instead of on the jobsite.
Our team works from 6560 W Rogers Circle, Suite 27, so site visits, measurements and answers to your questions come quickly throughout the remodel.
We plan separate sinks, dishwashers, prep zones and storage from the first sketch, so a kosher kitchen works instead of feeling like an afterthought.

We completely transformed our kitchen. The custom wood cabinets with pull-out drawers are both beautiful and functional, and the stunning ink-blue island has become the centerpiece of our home. We cannot recommend MIA Remodeling enough.

It depends on scope, material lead times and permit review. Design and selections come first, then permitting, then construction. A cabinet and countertop update moves much faster than a layout change that moves plumbing or walls. After your 3D design, MIA gives you a written timeline that includes permits and any HOA or condo approval.
The biggest factors are kitchen size, layout changes, the cabinet line, the countertop material, the appliance package, permits, and any HOA or condo requirements. Moving plumbing, gas or walls adds cost. MIA provides a free 3D design and an itemized estimate so you can adjust scope before committing.
Transitional kitchens with Shaker cabinets and warm neutrals are a popular choice, along with contemporary flat-panel designs and coastal kitchens with light wood. Large islands, sculleries, full-height slab backsplashes and panel-ready appliances are common in larger Boca homes.
Most kitchen remodels that move plumbing, add electrical circuits, run gas or remove walls need a permit. Homes inside city limits are permitted by the City of Boca Raton. Many West Boca addresses are permitted by Palm Beach County. MIA confirms jurisdiction and handles the permit for you.
Yes. We design kosher kitchens with separate meat and dairy sinks, two dishwashers, separate prep zones and storage, multiple ovens, and Shabbat-mode appliances. We recommend confirming material and layout details with your rabbi, and we build to the standard your household follows.
Usually, yes. MIA holds a Florida plumbing contractor license, so relocating sinks, adding gas lines and adding dishwashers is done by our own team. In condos, the plumbing riser locations may limit how far the sink can move.
Yes. We prepare association approval packages, work within plumbing riser and ventilation limits, specify recirculating hoods and electric cooking where required, and schedule around building rules and elevator reservations.
Both. MIA's in-house team designs your kitchen in 3D for free, then permits and builds it. You work with one company from the first sketch to the final walkthrough.
