Trevor Nash leads our team, and he’s the one who will sit across your kitchen table and explain exactly why a 1940s Mediterranean Revival kitchen in South Beach costs more to rough-in than a 1980s condo unit in North Beach. That’s the kind of local knowledge that keeps a Miami Beach remodel from turning into a string of change orders.

Why Penhallow Remodeling Is Miami Beach’s Preferred Kitchen Remodeling Company
Homeowners in Miami Beach call us because we answer the phone. Not a voicemail maze, not a call center. A live person, 24/7, who knows what a post-tension slab is and why it matters for your kitchen island plumbing. Our Miami Beach customers tell us the same thing: they got burned before by a contractor who quoted low, started the demo, then vanished when the water table flooded the rough-in trench. We write the dewatering allowance into the quote on the front end.
Our technicians are background-checked and arrive in uniform. You know exactly who’s walking through your condo lobby or into your Sunset Harbour townhouse. And every Miami Beach job comes with the 365-Day Done Right Promise, a written guarantee that says if the work fails inside the first year, we come back and fix it. No re-inspection fee, no service call charge. That’s the Kingswell standard, and it’s been the rule since 2004.
Kitchen Cabinet Refacing Contractors in Miami Beach
Kitchen Cabinet Refacing Contractors in Miami Beach do a specific job: keep your existing cabinet boxes, replace the doors, drawer fronts, and hardware, and apply a matching veneer to the exposed frames. It costs less than a full gut, runs faster, and makes sense when your cabinet layout still works but the surfaces look tired. In Miami Beach, refacing runs roughly $4,720 – $15,340 depending on door style, veneer grade, and how many linear feet of cabinetry you have.
When Refacing Beats Replacement
If your cabinet boxes are solid but the doors are delaminating from decades of salt-laden air off the Atlantic, refacing is the right call. We order doors from KraftMaid or Wellborn, matched to your existing layout. No tear-out means no dumpster in front of your Art Deco building, which some Miami Beach condo associations care about a lot.
Salt Air and Cabinet Hardware
Miami Beach’s ocean exposure corrodes exposed hinges and pulls faster than you’d think. We specify stainless or powder-coated hardware as standard on refacing jobs here. It costs a little more up front and lasts years longer. That’s the kind of small choice that keeps a kitchen from looking tired again in 18 months.
Kitchen Remodeling Contractor in Miami Beach
A Kitchen Remodeling Contractor in Miami Beach is juggling more than cabinets and countertops. We’re coordinating with Miami-Dade’s post-Andrew wind-load code, the city’s block-by-block finished floor elevations, and a water table that sits 1 – 3 feet below grade across most of the island. A full remodel here runs $16,520 – $53,100, and the spread comes down to how much waterproofing, elevation correction, and slab repair your specific building needs.
Full Kitchen Remodels on the Barrier Island
When we open a pre-1980s concrete structure, we almost always find rebar corrosion from decades of chloride penetration. If the original slab is spalling, that has to be addressed before new flooring or island plumbing goes in. We write that into the quote as a defined allowance, so it’s a known line item, not a surprise after demo day. Our Kitchen Remodeling team has done enough of these to know what to look for before we ever swing a hammer.
Small and Partial Kitchen Remodels
Maybe you only need new countertops, a backsplash, and an island. That’s a small kitchen remodel in the $10,620 – $23,600 range. We still run the same elevation check and still pull the same Miami Beach permits. A partial job doesn’t get partial diligence.
Trusted Brands We Service in Miami Beach
We install and service cabinetry from KraftMaid and Wellborn, countertops from Cambria, Silestone, and Caesarstone, and fixtures from Kohler and Moen. For structural work in Miami Beach’s damp, salty environment, we specify Sakrete concrete repair products when spalling remediation is needed. We keep common fasteners and stainless hardware in stock for Miami Beach jobs, which means fewer days waiting on a parts truck when your kitchen is already torn apart.
Common Kitchen Remodeling Problems We See in Miami Beach Homes
- Water in the rough-in trench. The water table sits 1 – 3 feet below grade across most of Miami Beach. Any excavation for sink or island plumbing needs dewatering, and a contractor who skips that step floods the subfloor and stalls the entire rough-in. We write dewatering into the quote up front.
- Finished floor elevation shifts block by block. The city’s street-raising program has elevated roads in Sunset Harbour and South of Fifth by 18 – 24 inches in some spots. A kitchen that met the elevation requirement two years ago can fail inspection today. We verify current block-specific elevations before ordering cabinets or cutting countertops.
- Chloride-driven rebar corrosion in pre-1980s slabs. Miami Beach’s salt air penetrates concrete over decades and rusts the reinforcing steel inside. If you tile over a spalling slab, the new floor cracks within a year or two. We address the substrate first.
- Condo association approval delays. Many Miami Beach kitchens sit inside condo towers with their own review boards, insurance requirements, and work-hour rules. We’ve navigated enough of these to prepare the submittal package correctly the first time.

FAQs About Kitchen Remodeling in Miami Beach
Yes. Miami Beach requires permits for kitchen remodels that involve plumbing, electrical, or structural changes, regardless of whether the layout changes. Even a cabinet refacing job that doesn’t touch utilities may need a permit if your building is in the Art Deco Historic District. We pull the permits for you and coordinate the inspections. Call (936) 259-2607 and we’ll tell you exactly what your specific building triggers.
Because Miami Beach is a barrier island averaging 4 feet above sea level, and the city’s ongoing street-raising and pump-station program means the required finished floor elevation shifts block by block. What passed inspection on one street in Sunset Harbour can fail two blocks over. If a contractor orders cabinets before confirming the current elevation, you eat a change order. We verify first, then order.
No. The water table sits 1 – 3 feet below grade across most of the island, which rules out conventional basements entirely and makes any significant excavation a dewatering project. If you need more storage, we look at above-grade options like a pantry wall or a built-in storage island. That keeps your project realistic and your budget intact.
Every allowance in our contract has a defined dollar amount and a written description of what it covers. If we need more for dewatering, we write a change order with a specific number and get your sign-off before spending another dollar. Nothing is open-ended. That’s the Kingswell standard, and it’s how we’ve worked since 2004.
Yes. Salt-laden air from the Atlantic and Biscayne Bay corrodes cheap hinges, pulls, and metal cabinet frames quickly. We specify stainless or powder-coated hardware and engineered quartz from Cambria or Caesarstone that won’t etch from the humidity swings common in Miami Beach kitchens. Natural stone can work, but we’ll talk through sealing schedules before you commit.
