Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is The Hammocks’s Preferred Kitchen Remodeling Company

We didn’t parachute into The Hammocks because it looked good on a map. We’ve been cutting countertops and pulling permits here long enough to know that your house probably has concrete block walls where other contractors expected wood studs, and that your kitchen might sit on a slab that’s been settling for three decades. That matters when you’re moving an island or re-routing plumbing.

That offer stands for every homeowner in The Hammocks, from the single-family homes off Hammocks Boulevard to the townhome clusters around Country Walk Drive. We answer our own phone: (877) 610-1318.

Every kitchen we remodel in The Hammocks comes with a written 90-Day Done Right Promise. If it’s not done right, one call brings Tom back. That’s not a clever marketing phrase. It’s on the contract.

Our Kitchen Remodeling Services in The Hammocks

Full Kitchen Remodeling

A full kitchen remodel in The Hammocks usually means more than new cabinets. It often means correcting what the last contractor left behind, whether that’s non-NOA-rated fixtures or drywall that was never meant to hold humidity near the sink. Our Kitchen Remodeling team starts every job with a written scope and written allowances. Every price change arrives as a written change order before a single nail moves. Most full remodels here run $14,000-$45,000 depending on footprint, structural work, and finish level.

Cabinets & Countertops

We install KraftMaid cabinets and Cambria quartz, names you can look up. In The Hammocks, where humidity hangs around like a houseguest, we pay particular attention to cabinet box construction and slide hardware. Cheap particleboard swells here. We don’t use it. Cabinet installation typically runs $4,000-$13,000, and countertop installation $2,000-$6,500 including undermount sink cutouts.

Backsplash, Tile & Flooring

Tile work in The Hammocks kitchens has to handle the double punch of moisture and limestone-slab settling. We use proper anti-fracture membrane under floor tile, which some crews skip. Backsplash installation in the 33196 runs $800-$2,500 for a standard run. If you’re tiling the floor too, we’ll check for slab cracks before we start, not after the grout dries.

Kitchen Design & Layout

Most kitchens in The Hammocks were built with a particular 1980s-1990s floor plan: closed off, heavy on soffits, light on counter space. We rework those layouts so you get an open sightline to the dining room without compromising the structural integrity of a CBS wall. Our design process starts with your house, not a showroom. The Hammocks has enough variation between original single-family homes and newer townhome builds that no two kitchens here should ever be treated the same.

Small & Partial Kitchen Remodels

Not every job is a gut. We do small and partial kitchen remodels for homeowners who want their kitchen functional again without living through a full teardown. Cabinet refacing, new countertops, a fresh backsplash, maybe an island where the peninsula used to be. Small kitchen remodels in The Hammocks run $9,000-$20,000. Cabinet refacing starts lower than replacement, which matters when the existing boxes are still square.

Kitchen Island Installation

Adding an island to a 1990s kitchen in The Hammocks changes how you use the whole room. We handle the electrical rough-in, the slab anchoring, and the finished perimeter. Kitchen island installation typically runs $3,000-$10,000, depending on whether you’re adding a prep sink, a second oven, or seating overhang. We also handle Bathroom Remodeling in The Hammocks if the adjacent powder room needs attention while we’re in the house.

Trusted Brands We Service in The Hammocks

We carry and install brands homeowners in The Hammocks can verify without a magnifying glass. KraftMaid and Cambria in kitchens. When your home needs PGT impact-rated windows or a Simonton replacement unit as part of the scope, we source those through accounts we’ve held for over two decades. We also handle Roofing in The Hammocks, which becomes relevant fast when a kitchen remodel exposes water damage under a 30-year-old clay tile roof. We keep common replacement parts and trim pieces available for the brands we install, which shortens turnaround when a drawer slide or hinge fails.

Common Kitchen Remodeling Problems We See in The Hammocks Homes

• Non-NOA fixtures and materials. Miami-Dade operates a standalone Notice of Acceptance system. Products legal elsewhere in Florida can fail inspection in The Hammocks. We’ve replaced brand-new windows installed by other contractors that didn’t carry the required Miami-Dade NOA, which means the homeowner paid twice. Every product we use on your kitchen carries the correct approval.
• Original slab settling and grout cracking. The Hammocks sits on flat oolitic limestone with a water table 12-18 inches below grade. Slabs shift over time. We check for movement before laying tile and use membranes that flex.
• Post-Andrew building-envelope conflicts. If your kitchen remodel includes moving an exterior door or widening a window, we have to bring that opening up to HVHZ code. That’s not optional and it’s not cheap, but a permit inspector signs off on it and that signature protects you.
• Humidity-driven cabinet swelling. Original 1980s cabinet boxes in The Hammocks kitchens are frequently particleboard. After three decades of South Florida humidity, they’re done. We replace with plywood boxes where the budget allows, and we explain the price difference honestly.
