That number moves based on cabinet line, countertop material, and what we find when the walls come open.

Why Penhallow Remodeling Is West Miami’s Preferred Kitchen Remodeling Company
West Miami is not Miami. That sounds obvious until you realize the city’s building department operates out of its own city hall on SW 67th Avenue, entirely separate from Miami-Dade County’s system. A contractor who pulls a county permit for a West Miami kitchen has pulled an invalid permit, and the work can be red-tagged on the spot. We know this because we work West Miami jobs weekly, dealing with city inspectors directly on everything from framing sign-offs to final electrical. That jurisdictional awareness shows up in how we schedule, how we quote, and how fast we move through inspections.
Our West Miami customers ask three things before signing: the written price, the arrival window, and what happens when the walls get opened. We give all three in writing. Trevor Nash carries the Kingswell standard across every job, meaning a 365-Day Done Right Promise and a clean job site are part of the contract, not a sales pitch. The technicians who arrive at your door in West Miami are background-checked and uniformed. You know exactly who is walking in.
Kitchen Cabinet Refacing Contractors in West Miami
Kitchen Cabinet Refacing Contractors in West Miami are worth calling when your cabinet boxes are square, the layout still works, and you simply want the finish updated without ripping out every box. Refacing means new doors, drawer fronts, and veneer on the face frames, usually paired with soft-close hinges and new hardware. In West Miami’s 1950s – 70s CBS homes, we often see original face-framed cabinets built from solid plywood, which makes refacing a strong value compared to replacement. The job typically runs $4,720 – $15,340 depending on door style, veneer grade, and the number of openings.
Choosing Between Refacing and Replacement
If the boxes have water damage around the sink base, warped shelves, or delaminated interiors, refacing is not the right move. We will tell you that outright. West Miami kitchens from this era hide leaks under the sink floor for years before anyone notices, and a refacing job only makes that failure visible after the doors come off.
What Refacing Does Not Fix
Refacing does not reposition cabinets, add drawers, correct a cramped galley layout, or repair a rotted subfloor under the sink. It changes how the kitchen looks, not how it functions. When we quote cabinet work in West Miami, we check for what is behind the cabinet face before recommending a route.
Kitchen Remodeling Contractor in West Miami
Kitchen Remodeling Contractor in West Miami means a general contractor who pulls the permit through the city of West Miami, not Miami-Dade, and who can handle framing, wiring, plumbing, drywall, tile, and cabinet installation under one written price. We handle the full job, from layout drawings to final inspection sign-off, so you are not coordinating three trades and a permit office. Full West Miami kitchen remodels run $16,520 – $53,100. Small kitchen remodels in the city’s modest CBS homes, where layouts stay put and fixtures get updated, run $10,620 – $23,600.
How We Open the Walls Without Inflating the Quote
Trevor’s rule is simple: inspection first, allowances written into the contract, and any surprise priced and approved in writing before we touch another cabinet. If we open a 1960s galley and find ungrounded cloth wiring, that is a written change order, not a mystery charge at the end.
West Miami’s Permit Realities
Because West Miami is an incorporated city with its own building department, every trade inspection is scheduled with city inspectors, not county ones. A county permit on a West Miami job is invalid. We pull the West Miami permit, schedule the city inspections, and carry the sign-offs through to the final. It is slower than skipping the permit and faster than fixing a red-tag.
Trusted Brands We Service in West Miami
We install KraftMaid and Wellborn cabinetry, Cambria, Silestone, and Caesarstone countertops, and Kohler and Moen fixtures in West Miami kitchens. These are the products sitting behind our guarantee, so when your peninsula countertop or soft-close drawer carries a manufacturer’s warranty alongside our 365-Day Done Right Promise, you get two layers of protection. For cabinet refacing jobs, we keep door and veneer samples from these lines available to view in-home, so West Miami homeowners can match finishes to their existing trim without guessing from a phone screen. Parts arrive through our South Florida supply chain, and when a hinge fails inside the guarantee period, we come back to West Miami and fix it without a second visit fee.
Common Kitchen Remodeling Problems We See in West Miami Homes
- Cloth-wrapped, ungrounded wiring. West Miami’s 1950s – 70s CBS homes often still carry original two-wire circuits. A kitchen remodel that touches electrical triggers a current-code requirement, which means rewiring affected circuits before drywall closes.
- Rotted framing behind old tile counters. The dense, humid conditions in this part of Miami-Dade mean a slow leak behind a 1960s tile counter rots the 2x4s silently for years. We find it when the wall comes open, and the repair is a written change order before we proceed.
- Failed waterproofing on exterior walls. CBS construction with stucco over block means interior walls often have no vapor barrier by modern standards. Behind a sink or under a window, we address substrate moisture before tile or cabinet install.
- Undersized plumbing that a permit forces up to code. Galvanized supply lines and undersized drain runs from the original build no longer meet West Miami’s plumbing inspection standards once exposed. Knowing this helps us price the job honestly from day one.

FAQs About Kitchen Remodeling in West Miami
West Miami is its own incorporated municipality with a standalone building department at city hall. A Miami-Dade County permit is not valid inside West Miami city limits, and work done under one can be red-tagged by city inspectors. We pull the West Miami permit specifically and schedule every inspection with city officials, not county ones. Call (936) 259-2607 before filing anything so we can confirm jurisdiction for your address.
The most common surprises are cloth-wrapped wiring with no ground, 2×4 framing sistered with rot from old counter leaks, and a subfloor that gives way around the sink base. Older CBS homes here also hide undersized galvanized plumbing that a permit forces up to current code once exposed. We write allowances into the contract for these discoveries and price them in writing before proceeding.
We inspect first, write line-item allowances into the contract, and issue a signed change order before touching anything beyond the agreed scope. Trevor Nash requires written approval from you before a single hidden repair adds cost. The number you sign on day one is the number on the invoice except for changes you approve in writing. Call (936) 259-2607 for an exact quote.
It can. West Miami sits inside the Miami-Dade High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, and when a kitchen remodel opens exterior walls or affects openings, the city may require hurricane strapping or impact-rated window and door upgrades to current HVHZ code. We tell you upfront what the permit path looks like for your specific address before any walls come down.
