Kitchen Remodeling in Rio Vista
The kitchen is on the wrong side.
Rio Vista kitchens tend to be in the wrong place. The 1920s houses along Cordova Road and Ponce de Leon Drive put cooking in a closed rear room with one small window and a delivery door, and the postwar houses on the Rio Vista Isles canals were not much more generous. Everything worth looking at, meaning the dock, the pool and the afternoon light on the water, sits on the other side of a wall. Which is why a kitchen project here is usually a relocation with cabinetry attached.
Here is the good news about Rio Vista: it is not one of Fort Lauderdale's designated historic districts, and the Rio Vista Civic Association is a neighborhood organization rather than a design board with permit authority. An interior kitchen goes straight to Fort Lauderdale Building Services through LauderBuild for building, plumbing, electrical and mechanical permits, with inspections at rough and final. Gas, whether piped or propane, gets its own permit. Punch a new opening through an exterior wall and you add structural review plus an HVHZ-approved unit.
PGX runs kitchens in a specific order: cabinets ordered early, demolition timed to their arrival, stone templated after the boxes are set and level, appliances confirmed before anyone runs a circuit. You get a fixed written scope, a supervisor on site daily, and hard protection over floors and stair treads on the way in. Twenty-plus years in South Florida and more than 150 remodels and additions delivered, all of them permitted and inspected, under Lic. CGC1539072. The rest of your house stays a house while we work.

What's included
Building the Rio Vista kitchen.
Priced line by line before demolition, so the number you sign is tied to a specification and not to a mood board.
Built-to-order cabinetry
Cabinet packages made to your dimensions, with finishes and hardware chosen to hold up in a house that lives with its doors open.
Stone on a real island
Quartzite, marble or porcelain slabs templated on set cabinets, with island framing engineered for the load and the seating overhang.
Moving the kitchen
Relocating the room toward the water: new drain lines through slab, rerouted supply, engineered beams where a wall used to carry the roof.
Appliances and venting
Hoods vented to the outside through detailed wall penetrations, plus dedicated circuits, water lines and gas runs permitted and inspected properly.
Panel and lighting work
Service upgrades that older Rio Vista houses often need, then layered lighting so the island, the sink and the walkway each get their own.
