AfterFast, Reliable Kitchen Remodeling Across Miami
A kitchen remodel in Miami typically runs $16,520 – $53,100, and the final number depends on whether your home needs coastal-spec materials, a roof-to-wall strap retrofit, or impact-rated openings that meet Miami-Dade’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone code. We also offer our Bathroom Remodeling in Miami if you’re updating more than one room. We’re Penhallow Remodeling, and we work across Miami from Little Havana to Brickell, Allapattah to West Miami. If you’re planning a kitchen update in this city, call (936) 259-2607 and we’ll give you a written price before any cabinet is pulled.
What makes a Miami kitchen remodel different from one in Orlando or Tampa? Salt air, hurricane code, and a water table that sits 18 inches below your slab. Our Kitchen Remodeling team specs materials here the way a marine contractor would, because in this city, the cheap hardware fails within a few seasons and the cheap window never legally closes out. We work in Miami full time, which means we know which inspections get flagged, which fasteners survive the humidity, and which countertop fabricators stand behind their Miami jobs.
Key Takeaways
- Full kitchen remodels in Miami run $16,520 – $53,100; countertop installation runs $2,360 – $7,670.
- Pre-1992 CBS homes in neighborhoods like West Miami and Little Havana often need a roof-to-wall strap retrofit when the kitchen scope exposes the wall.
- Salt air near the coast corrodes standard cabinet hinges and drawer glides; we specify stainless or hot-dip hardware as a default.
- Every exterior door or window touched by the permit must carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance (NOA) or the inspection fails.
- We put the price and the 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing before work starts.
Why Penhallow Remodeling Is Miami’s Preferred Kitchen Remodeling Company
Trevor Nash runs our Miami operation, and he’s built the crew around a simple rule: the number we hand you before demo day is the number on the invoice. No change orders that appear after the drywall comes down. We hear from Miami homeowners all the time who got burned by a verbal estimate that doubled the moment the old cabinets hit the dumpster. That’s exactly what we don’t do. You get a written price, a defined arrival window, and a written guarantee on every project, per the Kingswell Way standard that’s governed our work since 2004.
Every technician who walks into your Miami kitchen is background-checked and uniformed. You’ll know who’s in your home, which matters when the job runs three weeks and your kids are doing homework in the next room. Our call line is answered by a real person 24/7, not a voicemail tree. Call (936) 259-2607 at 6 a.m. or 11 p.m. and a person picks up.
Miami homeowners repeatedly tell us the same thing: the estimate was fuzzy, the crew showed up late, and the tile cracked six weeks after the final check cleared. Our 365-Day Done Right Promise exists for precisely that reason. If the work fails inside the guarantee period, we come back and fix it at no charge. It’s written on every project we do in Miami.
Countertop Installation in Miami
Countertop Installation in Miami costs $2,360 – $7,670 for most kitchens, and the final number rises or falls based on material, edge profile, and whether your existing cabinet boxes can support the slab. A 60-square-foot quartz kitchen in a Brickell condo lands on the lower end; a 90-square-foot island plus perimeter in a Coral Gables CBS home pushes toward the top.
Quartz and granite in humid kitchens
The Miami heat and moisture cycle doesn’t warp quartz the way it can laminate or butcher block, which is why we recommend Cambria, Silestone, or Caesarstone for most of our kitchen countertops here. Each of those carries its own manufacturer warranty on top of our 365-Day promise, so you get two layers of protection. Granite works too, but in Miami’s humidity it needs better sealing discipline.
We also pull permits when the countertop scope touches plumbing or wall openings, because Miami-Dade inspectors flag work that skips the NOA process on kitchen windows that got swapped during a counter project.
What countertop installation actually involves
A typical install includes template, fabrication, sink cutout, and seam joins. If your kitchen sits in a pre-1992 CBS home and the existing counter abuts an exterior wall, plan for the inspector to check the wall opening for proper strapping. That’s not a bureaucratic hiccup; it’s Miami code doing what it was written to do after Hurricane Andrew.
Kitchen Remodeling Company in Miami
As a Kitchen Remodeling Company in Miami, we build kitchens that pass inspection the first time in one of the strictest code jurisdictions in the United States. A full remodel here runs $16,520 – $53,100, driven by layout changes, cabinet line, countertop material, and whether the scope triggers the HVHZ requirements we described above.
What we do on a Miami remodel
We handle the full job: design, demolition, cabinets, counters, backsplash, flooring, and lighting. A typical project starts with an in-home visit where Trevor walks the kitchen, looks at the wall structure, checks whether the existing openings are impact-rated, and writes a scope that matches the real house in front of him, not a template from a sales binder.
We don’t sell you a kitchen on a tablet graphic and then send a different crew. Our uniformed team does the work, and the product brands we install, KraftMaid and Wellborn cabinets, Kohler and Moen fixtures, Cambria and Silestone counters, are chosen because they hold up in Miami’s climate and carry warranties that align with ours.
Small and partial remodels too
You don’t need a six-figure gut for us to take the job. A cabinet refacing, a countertop swap, a backsplash install, or a new island are all things we do. Small kitchen remodels in Miami run $10,620 – $23,600. If your kitchen works but the finishes are tired, that’s a job we can typically turn around in a few weeks.
Trusted Brands We Service in Miami
We install and service cabinets from KraftMaid and Wellborn, countertops from Cambria, Silestone, and Caesarstone, and fixtures from Kohler, Moen, and Delta. Because we work in Miami full time, we know which local fabricators stock slabs that are already in the region, which shortens lead times on countertop jobs that might otherwise stall for three weeks waiting on a slab from Georgia. Our Miami Tremron service is one example of how local supplier relationships keep your project moving. Our relationship with local Miami suppliers means the Cambria or Silestone top you pick on Tuesday is often cut and ready by the following week. We also keep common cabinet repair parts, stainless hinges, and hot-dip drawer glides on hand for the service calls that come after salt air has done its slow work on older kitchens.
Common Kitchen Remodeling Problems We See in Miami Homes
- Rusted cabinet hinges and drawer glides. Salt-air humidity from the coast reaches well into Allapattah and West Miami. Cheap zinc-plated hardware corrodes within two to three seasons. We specify stainless or hot-dip hardware in every kitchen we touch, because the replacement call is more expensive than the upgrade.
- Missing roof-to-wall hurricane straps. Pre-1992 CBS homes in Little Havana, Hialeah, and West Miami routinely have roof structures just resting on the block with no mechanical connection. The moment a kitchen permit exposes that wall, Miami-Dade plan review expects a strap retrofit line item, even if the job was just countertops.
- Failed inspections from non-rated windows and sliders. A homeowner swaps a rear kitchen window for a cheap one, then can’t close the permit because it lacks a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance. We’ve fixed that mistake more times than we can count; in Miami, the cheap window is the expensive window.
- Slab moisture and spalling from shallow cuts. Cutting the subfloor for a sink rough-in or island footing on Miami’s 18-inch water table invites wicking and rebar corrosion. Skipping epoxy-coated rebar or proper concrete cover turns a modest kitchen into a structural repair. We won’t cut that corner.

FAQs About Kitchen Remodeling in Miami
Yes, in many pre-1992 CBS homes it does. The moment a kitchen permit exposes a wall or ceiling, Miami-Dade plan review wants to see a roof-to-wall strap retrofit because most pre-Andrew homes were built without mechanical connections. It’s a small line item compared to the cost of a roof peeling off in a hurricane. We include it in the written price when we know the house needs it, so there’s no surprise at inspection. Call (936) 259-2607 and we’ll check your home before we scope the job.
Coastal spec typically adds 8 – 15% to a kitchen remodel, mostly from stainless hardware, impact-rated openings, and marine-grade finishes. But the inland spec fails in Miami within a decade, which means you pay again for the same work. We show both numbers side by side on the written estimate so you can make the call with your eyes open. For an exact quote on your Miami home, call (936) 259-2607.
Salt-air humidity corrodes standard zinc-plated cabinet hardware within two to three seasons, especially in the coastal neighborhoods and along the bay side. The fix is stainless or hot-dip galvanized hinges and drawer glides, which we install as a default on every Miami kitchen we touch. If your existing cabinets are rusting at the hinges, that’s a job we can handle without a full remodel. Call (936) 259-2607 for an inspection.
No, Miami’s water table sits as shallow as 18 inches below grade in many areas, which makes conventional deep excavation and basements essentially impossible. Kitchen islands sit on the slab with proper anchorage and, where required, epoxy-coated rebar and concrete cover to resist moisture wicking. We’ll spec the right footing for your slab rather than guess. Call (936) 259-2607 and we’ll walk you through what your specific Miami home needs.
You put the price in writing before the work starts, and you hold the contractor to it. That’s our standard operating rule under the Kingswell Way, and it’s been the rule since 2004. Every Miami kitchen we remodel gets a written price, a defined arrival window, and a 365-Day Done Right Promise in the same document. If the work fails inside the guarantee period, we return and fix it at no charge. The free estimate call is (936) 259-2607, and the person who answers is a real human being, 24/7.
