Full Open Concept Kitchen Services in Fort Lauderdale

An open concept kitchen is the single most requested renovation in South Florida — and for good reason. Removing the wall between your kitchen and living room instantly makes your home feel larger, brighter, and more social. Fort Lauderdale homes built before 2000 were designed with closed floor plans that no longer match how families actually live.

Our team handles every element of the conversion: structural assessment, load-bearing beam installation, full kitchen remodel, electrical panel upgrades, recessed lighting layout, custom island design, and final finishing — all under one contract and one fixed price.

  • Load-bearing & non-load-bearing wall removal
  • Licensed structural engineering assessments included
  • LVL beam installation with proper load distribution
  • Plumbing rerouting if needed (sink relocation)
  • Electrical rerouting & panel upgrade if required
  • Custom kitchen island design & installation
  • All Broward County permits pulled & inspections passed

Load-Bearing Wall Removal in Fort Lauderdale — What You Need to Know

About 60% of the walls homeowners want removed in Fort Lauderdale are load-bearing — they carry the weight of the roof or floor above. Removing them without proper structural support causes serious damage. Here's how we handle it safely:

  • Step 1: Structural engineer assesses wall & calculates beam size
  • Step 2: Temporary support walls installed before any demo
  • Step 3: LVL or steel beam installed with proper posts
  • Step 4: Broward County inspector approves structural work
  • Step 5: Drywall, texture, and paint to match existing finishes

Non-load-bearing walls are simpler — typically 2–3 weeks from demo to finishing. Either way, you'll have 3D renderings of your new open layout before we pick up a single tool. See also: custom cabinets and quartz countertops to complete the transformation.

FAQ

Common Questions

How much does an open concept kitchen conversion cost in Fort Lauderdale?
An open concept kitchen conversion in Fort Lauderdale typically costs $8,000–$45,000 depending on whether walls are load-bearing, plumbing or electrical rerouting needed, and whether you're adding a kitchen island. Non-load-bearing wall removal starts around $8,000. Full open concept with island and new cabinetry averages $25,000–$45,000.
How long does an open concept kitchen conversion take?
Most open concept conversions take 4–8 weeks. Non-load-bearing wall removal with finishing can be done in 2–3 weeks. If structural beams and load redistribution are required, expect 6–10 weeks including Broward County permits and inspections.
Do I need a permit to remove a wall in Broward County?
Yes — any wall removal in Broward County requires a building permit, especially for load-bearing walls. Vision Kitchen handles all permit submissions, structural engineering reports, and inspections on your behalf at no additional charge.
Can I add a kitchen island during an open concept conversion?
Absolutely — and we recommend it. A custom kitchen island adds prep space, seating for 4–6, and storage while anchoring the new open layout. We design islands with waterfall quartz edges and integrated electrical for appliances.
Will removing a wall damage my home's structure?
Not when done correctly. Vision Kitchen works with licensed structural engineers to determine load requirements and install the correct beam size before any demolition begins. Temporary support walls are always installed first to protect your home during the process.
