Custom Cabinets in Lighthouse Point, FL

Custom cabinets in Lighthouse Point need to handle something most inland kitchens never face: salt carried on the breeze from the canals and Hillsboro Inlet. Most of the city was built on canals dug in the 1950s and 1960s, which put a large number of homes on the water. That setting is the reason people move here, and it is also the reason standard hardware rusts and cheap finishes cloud over.

Salt air is a hardware problem first

When a cabinet fails near the water, it usually starts at the metal: hinges that stain, slides that grind, pulls that pit. We recommend corrosion-resistant hardware for Lighthouse Point homes and use stainless or marine-grade options on anything that lives outdoors. Inside, sealed edges and durable finishes keep doors from swelling in damp months.

Outdoor kitchens by the dock

Boating and fishing are a big part of life here, and Hillsboro Inlet puts Bimini about 40 miles away. A lot of entertaining happens on the back deck or near the seawall. Our outdoor kitchen cabinets are built from materials meant to sit in sun, rain and salt spray, with doors that close tight against wind-driven rain and drainage so water does not pool inside. We can plan space for a grill, sink, refrigerator drawer and tackle storage in one run.

Storage for gear

Rods, reels, life jackets, dive bags and coolers need a home that is not the garage floor. We build garage cabinet walls, mudroom lockers by the back door and utility closets with ventilated doors so damp gear can dry. A rinse sink with a cabinet below is a common request.

Kitchens for the long stay

Census estimates show 77.3% of homes in Lighthouse Point are owner-occupied and 29.3% of residents are 65 or older. Many owners are remodeling a kitchen they expect to use for decades. That makes it worth planning now for easier reach: drawer bases instead of door bases, a raised dishwasher, pull-out pantries, touch-latch or large pulls that are easy to grip, and lighting under every upper.

Bars, wine and the view

Many canal homes are laid out so the living area looks out over the water. A built-in bar or wine cabinet along that wall keeps entertaining in the room with the view instead of in the kitchen. We design these with glass-front uppers, wine racks, an undercounter refrigerator space and lighting, and we use the same corrosion-resistant hardware we specify throughout the house so the piece looks good years from now.

Seasonal homes

In 2020, 13.8% of the city's 5,856 housing units were vacant, which suggests a share of homes sit closed for part of the year. A house left shut through a humid summer is tough on cabinetry. If yours is a seasonal home, we lean harder on plywood construction, sealed finishes and ventilated doors in closets and laundry areas.
