Custom Cabinets in Davie, FL

We plan custom cabinets in Davie for properties that rarely fit a template. Davie spreads across more than 35 square miles, horseback riding is a common sight, and many of its historic buildings are ranches and other western-style places. A homeowner here may want a kitchen, but also storage for riding gear, tools, pool supplies or a busy household that comes in through the garage.

Origins as farmland

Robert Parsell Davie, an out-of-state businessman, bought 44 square miles to develop farms and a town first called Zona. Residents later renamed it in his honor. Around the turn of the 20th century, Florida reclaimed 156 square miles of swampland in the area. The town dates its incorporation to November 16, 1925, with formal incorporation on September 19, 1963. That farm-to-suburb history explains the mix of acreage properties, newer subdivisions and everything in between.

Bigger households, more storage

Census estimates show an average of 2.74 people per household in Davie, higher than Fort Lauderdale's 2.25, and the 2020 census counted 35,644 households. More people means more shoes at the door and more food in the pantry. Projects we often plan here:

• Mudroom and garage-entry cabinets with benches, lockers and boot storage
• Garage cabinet walls for tools, equipment and supplies
• Large kitchens with tall pantry units and oversized islands
• Laundry room cabinets with hanging space and folding counters
• Bathroom vanities with drawers for shared kids' baths

Outdoor kitchens on larger lots

Larger Davie lots leave room for covered patios and summer kitchens. Outdoor cabinetry has to handle rain, heat and sun, so we specify weather-rated materials and corrosion-resistant hardware instead of indoor cabinets moved outside. We plan around grills, sinks and refrigerators, leaving appliance and utility work to licensed trades where needed.

Storms are part of the planning. After Hurricane Wilma in 2005, an aerial survey found that about 70% of homes and businesses in several Broward cities, Davie among them, had some degree of impact. Outdoor cabinets that are anchored, drain freely and can be hosed off afterward recover far better than painted indoor boxes, and loose cushions, covers and carts should come inside before a storm.

Rentals near the campuses

Davie is home to Nova Southeastern University, the Broward College Central Campus and Davie campuses of Florida Atlantic University and the University of Florida. Many nearby homes and condos are rentals, and Census estimates put the median gross rent at $2,066. For landlords we recommend durable boxes, simple door styles that are easy to replace and finishes that tolerate regular turnover. Refacing can also refresh a rental kitchen between tenants without a full tear-out.

Owners who stay put

About 67.1% of Davie homes are owner-occupied, and 87.4% of residents lived in the same house a year earlier. For a long-term owner, custom kitchen cabinets, closets and entertainment built-ins are worth planning carefully, because they will be used every day for years.

Matching the house you have

Because Davie grew from farmland into subdivisions over many decades, the homes we see range widely in age and style. A ranch-style house may suit a shaker or beadboard door with a warm wood tone, while a newer build may call for flat slab doors and integrated pulls. We bring samples to the measure so you can compare them in your own light.
