A Dramatic Transformation

See how we transformed an isolated, boxed-in kitchen into a massive open-concept cooking space. We tore down the dividing wall to join the kitchen with the dining room, anchoring the new floor plan with a floor-to-ceiling quartz feature wall and an oversized prep island.

The starting point: Boxed in and isolated

The old kitchen felt completely cut off from the rest of the house. Despite having white cabinets, the dated brown granite counters and restrictive walls made the room feel small and isolating. Whoever was cooking was effectively trapped in a box while everyone else gathered in the dining room.

The result: Tearing down the walls

We knocked down the dividing wall to finally join the kitchen and dining areas together. To anchor the massive new open space, we built a floor-to-ceiling quartz feature wall and an oversized island. Now, there is plenty of room to spread out, prep dinner, and actually talk to your guests while you cook.

Where we work

A 22-mile radius from our Boca office

We stay local on purpose. Knowing the permit office, the HOA rules, and the subcontractor bench in every city we serve is what lets us keep quotes tight and timelines honest. We generally decline work outside the radius below; if we ever make an exception for an existing client, the scope and terms are set documented.

Before you call

Questions Boca homeowners ask us every week

How long does a kitchen remodel take in Boca Raton?
Every project is different. Past TDS Contractors kitchens have commonly run 5–10 weeks from demo to final walk, but scope, layout changes, permit review, and cabinet fabrication (often 4–8 weeks depending on brand) all move the number. Your formal agreement sets the specific schedule.
How long does a bathroom remodel take?
3 to 5 weeks for a full gut of a primary bath, 2–3 weeks for a guest bath refresh. Steam showers and heated floors add about a week for rough-in and testing.
How much does a kitchen remodel cost in Boca Raton?
As of 2026, a mid-range kitchen we build across our Palm Beach + Broward service area (semi-custom cabinets, quartz counters, porcelain tile, new appliances) typically runs $75,000–$135,000. Entry-level refreshes start around $45,000–$75,000. Fully custom kitchens with imported cabinetry and natural stone typically run $150,000–$225,000+. We quote line-by-line so you see exactly where the dollars go. See our kitchen page for tier detail.
What's a realistic bathroom remodel budget?
Powder rooms typically run $18,000–$30,000. Full hall baths $30,000–$55,000. Primary-suite baths with tile shower, freestanding tub, double vanity $55,000–$95,000+. Wet-area relocations (moving drains or relocating plumbing) add $5,000–$12,000 depending on slab work. See our bathroom page for tier detail.
Do you charge for the initial consultation?
No. The walk-through and written quote are free. We typically schedule the visit the same week, the visit runs 30–45 minutes, and you generally receive a line-by-line written quote within 5 business days — regardless of whether you hire TDS Contractors.
What's the deposit schedule?
Our deposit runs 30–50% at project agreement signing, scaled to what the project needs before we can start: architect and engineering fees, permit submission, and deposits on long-lead materials (custom cabinets, natural stone, imported tile, specialty appliances). Remaining draws are tied to milestones — material delivery, rough-in complete, substantial completion, and final walk-through. Every dollar of your initial deposit is applied to specific design work, permit fees, or material orders placed against your signed project agreement within the first 90 days, consistent with Florida Statute §489.126. You'll see the allocation itemized in the project agreement.
Are you licensed and insured in Florida?
Yes. TDS Contractors is a Florida Certified General Contractor, license CGC1514129. We carry commercial general liability at $2M+, workers' compensation on our employees, and require proof of coverage or a Florida Certificate of Election to be Exempt from every subcontractor. Current certificates of insurance are available on request and are filed with your HOA or condo association before work starts.
Do you handle HOA and condo approvals?
Yes — we handle the entire submission. Mizner Grand, Boca Pointe, Royal Palm, The Sanctuary, St. Andrews, and many gated associations across our service area are communities we have filed with before, and we keep current packet templates on file. Typical HOA approval runs 10–21 days; we typically build it into the timeline.
Do I need a permit for a kitchen or bathroom remodel in Boca Raton?
Yes — any remodel that touches electrical, plumbing, gas, or structural elements requires a building permit from the applicable local authority (City of Boca Raton, Delray Beach, Highland Beach, Parkland, Coral Springs, Boynton Beach, Deerfield Beach, Pompano Beach, Lighthouse Point, or unincorporated Palm Beach/Broward County). Paint and cabinet swaps alone don't. Our standard practice is to pull every required permit in TDS Contractors' name (not yours) and close it out after final inspection. Unpermitted work is the #1 reason homes fail insurance inspections at sale.
How long does Boca Raton permit issuance take?
Over-the-counter permits (simple bath / kitchen): 3–5 business days. Full plan-review permits (additions, structural changes, electrical upgrades): 2–4 weeks. We submit digitally through the city's online portal and pay the fee on your behalf — it's part of our scope, not a line item you chase.
Will the owner really be on site, or will it be a foreman?
Our standard is that Jorge Monroy is on every active jobsite daily; on smaller single-trade days he may delegate to a long-tenured lead. On larger projects he's there most of the morning. Jorge is your primary point of contact throughout the project. Site-visit cadence for your specific project is documented in your project agreement.
How do you handle change orders?
Written, signed, and priced before the work happens, as our standard practice — not after. If the change is our miss (we underestimated demo, we missed a bad rough-in), we absorb the cost consistent with the specific miss clause in your project agreement. If the change is yours (you decided to upgrade counters mid-project), we price it and you sign before we proceed. That's what holding the quote means.
Can we live in the house during a remodel?
For a single-bathroom or single-kitchen remodel, yes — most of our clients stay. We set up a temporary kitchen in the dining room and keep one bathroom operable throughout. For whole-home renovations or gut jobs where the A/C or plumbing must shut down, plan to be out for 4–8 weeks.
What hours do you work?
Our jobsites run Monday through Friday, 7:30 AM to 4:30 PM, with Saturday only for catch-up weeks when a client agrees. We don't work Sundays. If your HOA has stricter hours (many Boca condos start at 9 AM), we honor those without extending the schedule.
Who picks materials — do I need a designer?
You pick what you want; we tell you what works. For most kitchens and baths, our showroom visits and our cabinet / counter suppliers are enough. For luxury work (Royal Palm, Sanctuary, St. Andrews) we partner with several Boca designers — we can introduce you, and we're happy to build from plans you bring in.
What services do you offer?
TDS Contractors handles kitchen remodeling, bathroom remodeling, whole-home renovation, home additions, condo remodeling, and post-storm repair for past clients. We don't do roofing, pool construction, or ground-up new construction — we refer those out to specialists.
Where do you work?
A 22-mile radius from our Boca Raton office: Boca Raton, Delray Beach, Highland Beach, Parkland, Coral Springs, Boynton Beach, Deerfield Beach, and Pompano Beach. We decline work outside this range on purpose — staying local is what lets us keep quotes tight and timelines honest.
Do you do small jobs, or just full remodels?
For past clients, yes — we handle punch-list items, single-bath refreshes, cabinet-only swaps, and post-storm repair. For new clients, our minimum project size is roughly $25,000 so that the quote, permit, and supervision overhead makes sense for both sides.
Do you work on condos with restrictive hours and elevator rules?
Constantly. Oceanfront and gated-community condos are a big chunk of our work — Mizner Grand, Boca Beach Club, The Addison, Boca Pointe. We handle COI filing, elevator pad reservations, service-entrance coordination, and quiet-hours compliance as part of the scope.
What happens after the project is finished?
We prioritize long-term client relationships. If an installation issue arises after we leave, just call us and we'll come take a look. Any manufacturer policies on fixtures or appliances pass directly to you.
What payment methods do you accept?
Check, ACH, and wire transfer. We don't accept credit cards. Most banks waive wire fees on checking accounts over a certain balance — ask yours. For past clients doing small repairs under $2,000, Zelle is fine.
Do you offer financing?
We don't finance directly, but we can introduce you to two Boca-based lenders who do renovation-specific HELOC and RenoFi-style loans. Most clients pay from savings or a home-equity line through their existing bank.
What happens if something goes wrong after the project is done?
Just call us. If it's a minor adjustment with a cabinet fit or tile grout, we're happy to come out and take a look. For items covered by the manufacturer, we can help point you in the right direction.
Are you storm-prepared — what happens if a hurricane hits mid-project?
Our standard written hurricane protocol activates as county/local authorities advise (typically around 72 hours before projected landfall): we tarp, board, strap, and protect open exterior openings, secure loose materials, and photograph the site for insurance. Actual timing depends on the storm and the County's permit-freeze schedule. Interior-only projects continue after the storm; exterior work resumes once the County lifts the permit freeze.
