AfterFast, Reliable Kitchen Remodeling Across Miami Shores
A full Kitchen Remodeling project in Miami Shores typically runs $16,520 to $53,100, and the biggest wildcard isn’t materials. It’s whether your contractor knows that this village runs its own Building & Zoning Department separate from Miami-Dade County. Get that wrong, and a three-month kitchen turns into a nine-month headache. We’re Barrett & Sons Construction, and we’ve navigated Village Hall enough times to know which drawings get approved on the first pass and which ones get sent back. If you’re planning a kitchen in one of the 1930s-to-1960s CBS homes that define Miami Shores, call us at (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate. Tom Barrett answers his own phone.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Miami Shores’s Preferred Kitchen Remodeling Company
Tom Barrett founded this company in 1998, and his sons run the crews. That’s not marketing language, it’s just how we work. When you call about a kitchen remodel near the Miami Shores Country Club, the person who picks up knows what a jalousie window is and why your terrazzo floors matter to the village’s architectural review board. Homeowners on NW 96th Street and along Griffing Boulevard have seen the difference between a crew that understands this place and one that drives in from out of the county.
Every kitchen job we take in the 33153 zip code gets a written contract, a written scope, and written change orders before any alteration touches the work. The 90-Day Done Right Promise is on every contract too. If something isn’t right, one call brings Tom back. That’s the whole point of putting a name on the truck.
What does a local reputation get you? A contractor who knows that your 1950s kitchen likely has an original electrical panel that won’t pass inspection without an upgrade, and who prices that realiry into the estimate on day one instead of “discovering” it halfway through the demo.
Our Kitchen Remodeling Services in Miami Shores
Full Kitchen Remodeling
A complete kitchen remodel in a Miami Shores CBS home usually involves gutting to the block, relocating plumbing and electrical, and rebuilding everything to HVHZ code. Most projects run $16,520 to $53,100 depending on layout changes, appliance specs, and whether we’re repairing the original subfloor. We pull the permit through Miami Shores Village, not the county, and we coordinate the inspections so you’re never waiting on an inspector who was never scheduled.
Cabinets & Countertops
For kitchens in the village’s Mediterranean Revival homes, we often recommend cabinet lines that can carry a period-appropriate look without costing a fortune. KraftMaid cabinets and Cambria or quartz countertops are staples on our Miami Shores jobs. Countertop installation alone runs $2,360 to $7,670. Cabinet installation starts around $4,720 and goes up to $15,340 depending on whether we’re refacing existing boxes or starting from studs.
Backsplash, Tile & Flooring
Salt air from Biscayne Bay and the daily humidity cycle put real stress on grout and thin-set in Miami Shores kitchens. We use Schluter waterproofing membranes under tile installations as standard practice, not an upsell. Backsplash installation typically runs $945 to $2,950. Tile flooring for a standard village kitchen adds another $3,000 to $8,000 depending on the tile you select and the condition of the slab underneath.
Kitchen Design & Layout
Older Miami Shores homes often have tight galley kitchens that feel cramped but can open beautifully with the right plan. We walk the space with you, measure everything, and draw a layout that respects the original footprint while improving flow. That design work is part of your estimate, not a separate fee. And if the room needs a structural change, the permit and the engineer’s stamp are part of the same conversation.

Trusted Brands We Service in Miami Shores
We install brands you can look up, not mystery boxes off a van. In kitchens across Miami Shores, that means KraftMaid cabinets, Cambria quartz, and Schluter waterproofing systems. For the inevitable window or door work that accompanies a village kitchen remodel, we carry Andersen and Marvin products that carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance. That NOA is not optional here. Miami Shores sits in the High Velocity Hurricane Zone, and anything structural or exterior-facing has to meet a wind-load standard that doesn’t exist in most of Florida. We don’t try to talk around it.
Common Kitchen Remodeling Problems We See in Miami Shores Homes
- Original electrical panels that can’t carry a modern kitchen. Homes built from the late 1930s through early 1960s often still have the original service. Adding a dishwasher, range hood, microwave, and under-cabinet lighting on an old 100-amp panel isn’t safe and won’t pass inspection. We price the panel upgrade upfront.
- Terrazzo floors that the village wants preserved. Miami Shores’s architectural review rules can require keeping original finishes visible from the street. We know how to work around terrazzo when we’re reworking a kitchen floor, rather than ripping it out and creating a code compliance problem you didn’t ask for.
- Flat or low-pitched roof intersections above the kitchen. Many village homes have built-up flat roofs, and a kitchen remodel that moves plumbing vents or adds a range hood has to tie into that roof correctly. We coordinate the roofer when we need to, and we never leave a penetration that leaks when the afternoon rains come through.
- Humidity and salt air degrading cabinet boxes faster than you’d expect. Particleboard cabinets swell and fail quickly this close to Biscayne Bay. We recommend solid plywood boxes where the budget allows, and we seal end panels properly on every job regardless.

FAQs - Kitchen Remodeling in Miami Shores
A full kitchen remodel in Miami Shores runs $16,520 to $53,100, while a small or partial kitchen remodel typically falls between $10,620 and $23,600. The range reflects the age of the home, whether the electrical panel needs upgrading, and which village design approvals are required. Call (877) 610-1318 for an exact quote. Estimates are free.
Yes, every eligible job includes permits pulled through Miami Shores Village’s Building & Zoning Department, not Miami-Dade County. That distinction matters here. The village runs its own architectural review for exterior-visible changes, and a kitchen remodel that changes window openings, exterior doors, or rooflines has to pass that review. We handle the paperwork and the inspections.
Only if the scope changes, and only in writing. Before any alteration to the original scope, you receive a written change order with the new price. No surprise invoices at the end. That’s the Barrett & Sons way, and it’s in the contract.
Most full kitchen remodels in Miami Shores take 6 to 10 weeks from demo to final inspection, depending on permit turnaround at Village Hall and the condition of the existing plumbing and electrical. A small or partial remodel can run 2 to 4 weeks. We give you a schedule in writing before work begins.
Every kitchen remodel carries our written 90-Day Done Right Promise. If something isn’t done right, one call to (877) 610-1318 brings Tom Barrett back to make it right. That’s not a vague verbal assurance. It’s printed on the contract you sign.
