Fast, Reliable Kitchen Remodeling Across East Perrine
Kitchen remodeling in East Perrine typically runs $14,000 to $45,000 for a full renovation, with smaller projects like cabinet installation landing between $4,000 and $13,000. Most East Perrine homeowners we talk to are working with 1950s through 1970s concrete block homes that have seen decades of humidity, and they want a contractor who actually understands what’s behind those walls before demolition day. We’ve spent years working these streets, and we answer our own phone at (877) 610-1318 when you call.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is East Perrine’s Preferred Kitchen Remodeling Company
Tom Barrett started this company in 1998, and his sons run crews across East Perrine every week. That’s not a pitch; it’s just how we work. When you call about a kitchen remodel on SW 168th Street or anywhere in the 33157 zip code, you’re talking to someone whose name is on the truck, not a call center in another state. Ask anyone on your street, or look up the license number yourself.
East Perrine homeowners have told us the same story for decades: a contractor quoted one number on the phone, then handed them a different bill at the door. We do the opposite. Every scope, every allowance, every price change arrives as a written change order before work happens. The permit inspector works for you, not for me, which is why we pull permits and get inspections signed on every eligible kitchen remodel. A live person answers our phone 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and background-checked crew members show up uniformed every visit.
We back every kitchen project with our 90-Day Done Right Promise, written on the contract. If it’s not done right, Tom comes back and makes it right with one phone call.
Our Kitchen Remodeling Services in East Perrine
Full Kitchen Remodeling
This means gutting the room down to the studs and rebuilding it to fit how you actually cook and live. East Perrine homes built before 1992 frequently hide wiring and plumbing that don’t meet current code, so a full remodel here often includes bringing electrical up to standard before cabinets go in. We coordinate permits, inspections, and all trades so you’re not juggling subcontractors. Our Kitchen Remodeling team handles the whole job from first measurement to final walkthrough.

Cabinets & Countertops
We install KraftMaid cabinets and Cambria quartz in kitchens throughout East Perrine, materials you can look up and verify rather than mystery brands off a van. Cabinet installation in this area typically runs $4,000 to $13,000, and countertop installation lands between $2,000 and $6,500 depending on material and square footage. On older CBS homes, we check wall flatness carefully before any cabinet goes up because concrete block walls from the 1960s are rarely plumb.

Backsplash, Tile & Flooring
Backsplash installation in East Perrine runs $800 to $2,500 for most kitchens. South Florida humidity means we use proper waterproofing membranes and thin-set rated for high-moisture environments rather than whatever is cheapest at the supply house. Floor tile in these older slabs often sits directly on porous oolitic limestone a few feet above the water table, so we evaluate moisture levels before committing to a flooring plan.

Kitchen Design & Layout
East Perrine’s 1950s and 1960s kitchens were built small, often galley-style with a separate dining area. We redesign these spaces to open up sightlines and add islands where the slab and plumbing allow. Kitchen island installation runs $3,000 to $10,000 depending on size, electrical rough-in, and countertop material. Layout changes that involve moving a sink or range across a concrete slab add cost, and we put those numbers in writing before you approve anything.

Trusted Brands We Service in East Perrine
We stock and install materials from manufacturers that publish their specs and stand behind their warranties. In kitchens, that means KraftMaid and Cambria are our go-to lines, the same brands we put in our own families’ homes. For windows and openings tied to kitchen remodels, we work with Simonton, Ply Gem, and PGT, brands that matter in a High-Velocity Hurricane Zone where a cheap window becomes a liability in August. When a cabinet hinge fails or a drawer slide sticks, we’re not chasing parts from a discontinued line because we source from brands with deep inventory availability in the Miami area.
Common Kitchen Remodeling Problems We See in East Perrine Homes
- Pre-Andrew structural inconsistencies. East Perrine sits in the path Hurricane Andrew carved through southern Miami-Dade in August 1992. Homes built before that storm often lack modern hurricane straps and proper roof-to-wall connections, so any kitchen work that touches exterior walls or rooflines can trigger mandatory structural review. Contractors unfamiliar with this corridor routinely underbid because they don’t know the inspector will flag it.
- Slab moisture and flatness issues. East Perrine sits on flat, porous oolitic limestone just a few feet above sea level. Heavy summer rains and a persistently high water table mean slab moisture readings matter before tile or wood flooring goes down in a kitchen remodel. We test, we document, and we adjust the plan if the slab won’t support certain finishes.
- Outdated electrical behind the walls. Many of these 1950s and 1960s CBS homes still have original aluminum wiring or insufficient circuits for modern appliance loads. A kitchen remodel that adds a double oven, induction cooktop, and dedicated counter circuits usually requires a subpanel or service upgrade, and we include that in the written scope up front.
- Non-remodel-friendly plumbing runs. Cast iron drain lines from the original build are common in East Perrine kitchens, and they’re often corroded or bellied after 60-plus years in saturated soil. If we’re moving a sink or adding a dishwasher where there wasn’t one, we inspect the drain line and bring it into scope before finshes go in, not after.
Pricing for Kitchen Remodeling in East Perrine, FL
A full kitchen remodel in East Perrine runs $14,000 to $45,000.
