AfterFast, Reliable Kitchen Remodeling Across Miami
Kitchen remodeling in Miami, FL typically costs between $16,520 and $53,100 for a full project, with smaller partial remodels starting around $10,620. Most kitchens in Miami take 6 to 10 weeks to complete, though cabinet-only work can finish in 2 to 3 weeks. If you’re in Miami and your kitchen has CBS block walls, a flat roof from the 1960s, or Miami Windows & Doors that complicate a wall removal, you already know this isn’t a paint-and-hope job. Call (877) 610-1318 for a written, line-item estimate tailored to your home and your block.
Key Takeaways:
- Full kitchen remodels in Miami run $16,520-$53,100; small kitchens run $10,620-$23,600.
- Every permit gets pulled and every price change arrives in writing before work begins.
- We build for Miami’s HVHZ wind code and CBS block construction, not generic Florida specs.
- Quartz and granite countertops, cabinet refacing, islands, backsplash, and full layout design are all done by Barrett & Sons crews, not subcontracted strangers.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Miami’s Preferred Kitchen Remodeling Company
We’re owner-operated, and that means something different here. Tom Barrett started this company in 1998, and his sons run the Miami crews. When you call, a live person answers at (877) 610-1318, 24 hours a day. When work starts, the same faces show up every day. No franchise van, no out-of-state call center, no project manager you meet once and never see again.
Miami homeowners tell us the same story again and again: another contractor quoted one price on the phone, then handed them a different number at the door. We don’t work that way. Every allowance, every scope item, every change order gets written down and signed before a single cabinet box is opened. The permit inspector works for you, not for me, and that’s why we like him on the job. Ask anyone in Brownsville or West Little River, or look up Tom Barrett’s license number yourself. His name, address, and license are published and verifiable.
We’re dispatched from our Miami (South FL) office and crews serve the city locally. That means when you’re in Allapattah and a question comes up mid-project, you’re not waiting on a callback from another time zone. Tom lives twenty minutes away. If something’s not right, he wants to know about it.
Our Kitchen Remodeling Services in Miami
Full Kitchen Remodeling
A full Kitchen Remodeling project in Miami means gutting to the block, rerunning electrical and plumbing to code, and rebuilding with materials that hold up to coastal humidity. Most of our Miami jobs involve opening load-bearing CBS walls, which means a structural engineer’s letter and an HVHZ-compliant header. We handle that from the first site visit, so you’re not discovering it halfway through. Expect $16,520-$53,100 depending on square footage, cabinet grade, and whether you’re moving the sink or range.
Cabinets & Countertops
Cabinet installation in Miami runs $4,720-$15,340, with refacing on the lower end and full custom boxes on the upper. We install KraftMaid cabinets and Cambria quartz because they’re brands you can look up, not mystery stock off a van in Hialeah. Countertop installation runs $2,360-$7,670 for quartz or granite, cut and templated on-site for your specific slab and your specific walls.
Backsplash
Backsplash installation in Miami runs $945-$2,950, and it’s the fastest way to change the feel of a kitchen without touching the footprint. In older Miami homes, we often find uneven plaster behind the old tile from decades of humidity cycles. We float and level the wall before the first tile goes up, which is the difference between a backsplash that lasts and one that cracks at the grout line in eighteen months, unlike cheap Unilock repair in Miami jobs.
Tile & Flooring
Miami’s humidity and slab foundations mean tile is the default flooring choice for good reason. Wood warps, laminate peels, but a properly installed porcelain tile floor on a Miami limestone slab will outlast the cabinets. We also handle fence installation in Miami and the flat-roof water intrusion issues that often show up as a water stain on the kitchen ceiling first. Before we tile, we fix the roof problem. Too many Miami homeowners have paid for a new kitchen ceiling twice because nobody looked up.
Kitchen Design & Layout
Most Miami kitchens in the 33125 and 33124 corridors are galley or L-shaped layouts built in the 1950s through 1970s, when kitchens were behind closed doors, not the center of the house. We design for how people actually live now: the island as the anchor, ventilation that actually clears grease from a high-BTU gas range, and storage that works in 120 square feet. Kitchen island installation alone runs $3,540-$11,800, depending on size and whether we’re adding plumbing or electrical.

Trusted Brands We Service in Miami
We don’t install brands we can’t stand behind, and we don’t swap out your contract for whatever’s on sale that week. Our Miami kitchens feature KraftMaid and Cambria because they’re name-brand, readily warrantied, and stocked through local distributors, not shipped blind from a warehouse three states away. Beyond kitchens, we carry premium names across other trades, including PGT impact windows, because in Miami-Dade County’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, the product approval number matters more than the brand name on the sticker. If it doesn’t have a Miami-Dade NOA approval, it doesn’t go in your house. We also routinely coordinate with our Bathroom Remodeling in Miami team when a kitchen project uncovers moisture or layout issues that extend into adjacent spaces. And if your kitchen renovation exposes roof problems over the flat-roof section of your home, our Roofing in Miami division handles the fix before it becomes a bigger bill.
Common Kitchen Remodeling Problems We See in Miami Homes
- HVHZ non-compliant work from previous remodels. Miami-Dade’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone code, written after Hurricane Andrew in 1992, is the strictest wind-load standard in the continental U.S. We regularly open walls and find window and door openings that don’t meet current NOA (Notice of Acceptance) requirements. A kitchen remodel is the right time to fix that, while the wall is already open.
- Moisture intrusion from flat or low-slope roofs. Much of Miami’s 1950s-1970s housing stock, especially in Flagami and Little Havana, has built-up flat roofs that leak slowly into kitchen ceilings. We’ve seen cabinets rotted from behind while the homeowner thought they just needed new doors.
- CBS block walls that complicate layout changes. Miami homes are mostly concrete block and stucco, not wood frame. Cutting a new pass-through or removing a wall means shoring, diamond-blade cutting, and an engineer’s stamp. A contractor who’s only worked on wood-frame homes in Orlando will underquote this every time.
- High water table issues under slab foundations. Miami sits on porous Miami Limestone, and in many western ZIP codes the water table is less than two feet down. There are no basements in Miami, and any kitchen project that involves moving drain lines or cutting the slab needs a contractor who understands what happens when the trench fills with groundwater overnight.

A small kitchen remodel in Miami runs $10,620-$23,600, while a full remodel runs $16,520-$53,100. The difference is scope: a small remodel might keep the existing layout and replace cabinets, counters, and backsplash, while a full remodel moves walls, reroutes plumbing, and rebuilds everything. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll help you figure out which scope fits your budget.
Yes. Any kitchen remodel in Miami that touches electrical, plumbing, or structural walls requires permits from Miami-Dade County, and any new window or door opening must meet HVHZ standards. We pull every permit and schedule every inspection on eligible jobs. If a contractor tells you permits are optional in Miami, find a different contractor.
