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

Fast, Reliable Kitchen Remodeling Across Miramar

A full kitchen remodel in Miramar typically runs $14,000-$45,000, and the number that matters most in 33023 isn’t the cabinet line - it’s what’s inside the walls. Most homes east of Douglas Road were built in the 1950s and 1960s, long before Hurricane Andrew forced Florida’s 1994 code overhaul. That means a wall opened for a simple layout change often reveals missing hurricane straps, and Broward County won’t sign off until that’s fixed. If you want a kitchen that passes inspection the first time and holds up when the next storm tracks through, call Tom Barrett and his sons at (877) 610-1318. We’ve been doing this since 1998, and we live twenty minutes away.

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

We’re not a franchise dispatching strangers. Tom Barrett’s name is on the truck, his address and license number are published for anyone to verify, and his sons run the crews that show up in Miramar. When a customer on Miramar Boulevard calls about a kitchen, Tom or one of his sons answers. That’s how it’s worked for over 29 years.

Most of our Miramar jobs come from referrals - neighbors on either side of University Drive, customers near Lakeshore Drive, folks in the 33023 blocks off Miramar Parkway. Ask anyone on your street about us. Or look up the license number yourself. We encourage it.

The permit inspector works for you, not for us. That’s why we like him. Every eligible Miramar kitchen remodel gets permits pulled and inspections signed, and every finished job carries the written 90-Day Done Right Promise. If it’s not done right, Tom comes back. One call.

We also offer free second opinions on any written estimate. If another contractor gave you a number, bring it to us and we’ll go through it line by line at no charge. No trip charge inside the county, either.

Our Kitchen Remodeling Services in Miramar

Full Kitchen Remodeling

This is the job where Miramar’s older housing stock matters most. A full kitchen remodel in 33023 usually means moving plumbing, opening walls, and sometimes pulling load-bearing partitions. On a 1962 CBS ranch in eastern Miramar, our crew pulled a load-bearing wall to open the kitchen and found no hurricane straps at all. The permit review required a full tie-down upgrade before we could close the rough-in, so we installed engineered straps and clips throughout the roof-to-wall connection. The homeowner got a compliant kitchen and documentation to show their insurer - not just new cabinets. Expect $14,000-$45,000 depending on layout changes and structural work.

Kitchen Design & Layout

Layout in a 1950s Miramar kitchen usually fights you. Original footprints were small, cramped, and built around a single cooktop with no thought to islands or open flow. We design around the structural reality of the house - where the CBS block walls sit, where the tie-down retrofit has to happen, and what’s feasible without turning a $20,000 remodel into an $80,000 rebuild. Tom’s sons walk the space with you, mark it out, and put everything on paper before demo day.

Quartz & Granite Countertops

Quartz and granite installation in Miramar runs $2,000-$6,500 for a typical kitchen. We carry Cambria quartz and name-brand granite slabs you can look up and verify. Templeting is done on-site after cabinets are level, and seams are cut off-site to keep silica dust out of your living space. If you’re pairing new counters with a kitchen island, the island itself runs $3,000-$10,000, and heavy stone tops on a new island require floor framing checks - another spot where 1950s CBS construction sometimes needs reinforcement before the slab goes down.

Cabinets & Countertops

Cabinet installation in Miramar runs $4,000-$13,000 depending on whether it’s a full replacement or refacing. We install KraftMaid cabinetry, and we don’t use mystery brands off a van. In 33023, older kitchens often have no blocking behind drywall, so we add solid backing for upper cabinets before anything gets hung. That’s the difference between a kitchen that passes a punch-list walkthrough and one where doors start sagging a year later.

Backsplash, Tile & Flooring

Backsplash installation runs $800-$2,500 in Miramar. The detail most contractors skip here is moisture management. South Florida humidity and slab-on-grade construction mean grout selection and underlayment matter more than they do up north. We use moisture-rated backer board and flexible thinset on kitchen walls and floors, which keeps tile from cracking when the slab shifts through wet and dry seasons. Original terrazzo floors, common in 33023’s older ranches, can often be restored rather than covered - ask us before you decide.

Trusted Brands We Service in Miramar

We carry brands you can look up: KraftMaid and Cambria in kitchens. On hardscape and paver work tied to a kitchen remodel, we work with Techo-Bloc and Belgard products. We don’t stock generic mystery materials to pad a margin. If you want a specific manufacturer, tell us and we’ll spec it. For Miramar customers, most materials come from local South Florida suppliers, which keeps lead times short and means we can get warranty replacements without waiting on a truck from out of state.

Common Kitchen Remodeling Problems We See in Miramar Homes

• Missing hurricane straps and clips. In the older blocks of 33023, it’s common to open a wall during a renovation and find no hurricane clips or straps connecting roof trusses to the CBS wall. That triggers a mandatory tie-down upgrade under Broward permit review before you can close the wall.
• Federal Pacific and Zinsco electrical panels. Many 1950s and 1960s Miramar homes still have these panels. They’re known fire hazards, and adding new kitchen circuits - which a code-compliant remodel always requires - puts enough load on them that inspectors in Broward County routinely flag replacement before sign-off.
• Single-pane jalousie and awning windows. If your kitchen windows are original jalousies, they don’t meet current impact or wind-load standards. Replacing them with impact-rated units is part of what a compliant remodel includes, not an optional upsell.
• High water table affecting floor and drainage work. Miramar sits on South Florida’s limestone shelf, and the water table can rise within 2-4 feet of grade. Any kitchen remodel that touches slab plumbing, drain relocation, or a new island sink needs careful below-grade work or you’ll be chasing moisture problems for years.
