Kitchen Remodeling in Kendall - Written Fixed Price, Finish Date in the Contract

Fast, Reliable Kitchen Remodeling Across Kendall

Kitchen remodeling in Kendall, FL typically costs $14,000-$45,000 for a full renovation, with smaller refreshes starting around $9,000. Most projects take 6-10 weeks from demolition to final walkthrough, depending on cabinet lead times and whether you’re moving plumbing or load-bearing walls. If you’re in the 33156 ZIP and your kitchen still has its original 1970s or 1980s layout, you already know the counters are cramped, the cabinet boxes are delaminating from humidity, and the electrical can’t keep up with modern appliances. We’ve worked on dozens of homes along Kendall Drive, Sunset Drive, and the neighborhoods south of Snapper Creek, and we know exactly what these houses need. Call (877) 610-1318 to schedule a free estimate with Tom Barrett or one of his sons.

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

Tom Barrett founded Barrett & Sons in 1998, and he still answers his own phone. That matters in Kendall, where homeowners have been burned by out-of-state call centers that promise one price and deliver another at the door. We’re not a franchise. Tom’s sons run the crews, and Tom is on-site through most of every Kendall kitchen remodel, checking the same details he’d check in his own house. We also offer Kendall Windows & Doors for homeowners looking to complete their renovation.

We publish our license number, our address, and Tom’s name. Look us up before you sign anything. Our Kendall customers regularly mention three things in reviews: written change orders before any scope shift, permits pulled on every eligible job, and a crew that shows up in uniform and cleans the job site at the end of the day. Every project carries the written 90-Day Done Right Promise. If something isn’t done right, one call brings Tom back. That’s not marketing language; it’s on the contract.

Our Kitchen Remodeling Services in Kendall

Full Kitchen Remodeling

A full Kitchen Remodeling in Kendall means gutting the space to studs and rebuilding it around how you actually cook. In the 1970s tract homes that dominate 33156, that often means removing a soffit above the cabinets, replacing galvanized plumbing, and re-running electrical to meet current code. Tom’s crew handles the demolition, the rough-in, the drywall, the tile, and the trim. You get one accountable contractor from start to finish, not four subcontractors pointing fingers at each other.

Cabinets & Countertops

Kendall humidity is hard on cabinetry. We regularly open cabinet boxes on older homes and find swollen MDF, termite damage along the toe kick, or hinges pulling out of particleboard. For replacements, we install KraftMaid cabinets and Cambria or other quartz and granite counters that handle South Florida’s moisture without warping. A standard cabinet installation in Kendall runs $4,000-$13,000 depending on linear footage and whether you go stock, semi-custom, or full custom.

Backsplash, Tile & Flooring

Backsplash installation in Kendall typically costs $800-$2,500. We see a lot of homeowners choose porcelain or glass tile that’s easy to wipe down after cooking, which matters in a climate where everything grows mold if it stays damp. For flooring, we install tile and engineered hardwood that won’t cup or buckle when your AC runs for ten months of the year.

Kitchen Design & Layout

Many Kendall homes built before Andrew have an awkward closed-off kitchen with a wall separating it from the family room. We work with you on layout changes that open sight lines, add an island, and make better use of the square footage you already have. Island installation in Kendall runs $3,000-$10,000 depending on size, plumbing for a sink or prep faucet, and whether you’re adding electrical outlets for small appliances. Tom walks the space with you before any plans are drawn, so the design reflects how you cook, not a magazine photo.

Trusted Brands We Service in Kendall

We carry named brands you can look up before you commit. KraftMaid cabinets, Cambria quartz, and a selection of tile lines that hold up to humidity and daily wear. Tom doesn’t install mystery materials off the back of a van, because those are the products that fail first in a Kendall kitchen. For the electrical rough-in and under-cabinet lighting, we use fixtures rated for the humidity and salt air that drift up from Biscayne Bay. If you’re also planning exterior work like a paver driveway or patio to go with that new kitchen, we install Belgard and Techo-Bloc hardscape products, and we can handle Fence Installation in Kendall as well. Quick turnaround on cabinet and countertop orders is standard, and we’ll give you a written lead-time estimate before you sign.

Common Kitchen Remodeling Problems We See in Kendall Homes

• Pre-Andrew construction with modern code gaps. Many homes in the 33156 ZIP were built in the 1970s and 1980s, then patched after Hurricane Andrew in 1992. We frequently find undersized electrical panels, missing GFCI protection within six feet of the sink, and cabinets that were water-damaged before the roof was repaired. A kitchen remodel is often the right time to fix these items, and Tom will flag them during the estimate instead of surprising you mid-job.
• HVHZ opening protection rules that trigger during renovations. Kendall sits inside Miami-Dade County’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, the strictest residential building code in the country. When your kitchen remodel involves enlarging a window opening or adding a pass-through window to the lanai, the new opening must meet HVHZ product approval standards. We handle that paperwork and the inspections so the job doesn’t stall at final.
• Humidity-driven cabinet and drywall failure. Florida AC runs ten months a year, and when it cycles off, interior humidity climbs. Original builder-grade cabinets in Kendall homes often fail at the hinge points and along the toe kick. We replace with materials rated for sustained humidity, not the cheapest pressboard on the shelf.
• Tile floors over concrete slab with moisture migration. Most Kendall homes sit on slab-on-grade, not raised foundations. Without proper underlayment and moisture barrier, tile floors can develop efflorescence and grout failure within a few years. We test the slab before we lay tile, and we use the right membrane so the floor lasts.
