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

Fast, Reliable Kitchen Remodeling Across Ojus

A full kitchen remodel in Ojus typically runs between $14,000 and $45,000, with partial updates like countertops and backsplash starting around $2,000. Because Ojus sits in unincorporated Miami-Dade County, every job we take on here moves through the county’s building department, and every product we install carries a Miami-Dade County Notice of Acceptance for High-Velocity Hurricane Zone compliance. We’re a family-run crew that’s been pulling permits and passing inspections in this exact jurisdiction since 1998, and we know the Ojus drill better than most. Call Tom and his sons at (877) 610-1318 and you’ll talk to a real person who knows your neighborhood, not a call center.

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

Ojus homeowners have a particular frustration with remodeling outfits, and we hear it on nearly every first call. A national company quotes a number on the phone, sends a salesperson with a binder, and then the real number shows up weeks later, padded with allowances nobody explained. Tom Barrett built Barrett & Sons Construction in 1998 specifically to be the opposite of that. His name, his address, and his license number are published and verifiable. Look us up before you sign anything. Every scope, every allowance, every price change arrives as a written change order before work happens. “An allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date” is a line Tom uses on job sites all over Ojus, and it’s the reason our customers tell their neighbors about us.

Our crews working in Ojus are background-checked and uniformed on every visit. Tom’s sons run the teams, and Tom himself shows up on most Ojus jobs at least once a week. We’re not dispatching strangers from another county. A live person answers our phone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, so when you have a question mid-project you get an answer, not a voicemail box. And every completed job carries the 90-Day Done Right Promise, written on the contract, not buried in fine print: if it’s not done right, Tom comes back and makes it right, one call. That promise means something when the contractor lives twenty minutes from your street and shops at the same hardware store.

Our Kitchen Remodeling Services in Ojus

We are a full Kitchen Remodeling company, which means the crew that tears out your old cabinets is the same crew that sets your new countertops and tucks in the backsplash. No subcontractor bingo. Here’s what we do most often in Ojus:

Full Kitchen Remodeling

A full kitchen remodel in Ojus usually means gutting a 1950s or 1960s concrete block home’s kitchen down to the block, addressing any corrosion or spalling we find, then rebuilding with current Miami-Dade hurricane code in mind. In Ojus we almost always discover that the original wiring, plumbing, and wall assembly need updating to pass county inspection, so we price that work honestly from the start. You’ll see it in the written scope, not as a surprise change order at the end.

Cabinets & Countertops

Our Ojus customers get names they can verify. We install and reface cabinets, and we set quartz and granite countertops from brands like Cambria, materials you can look up and warranty yourself. Ojus humidity and salt air from the nearby coast make cabinet materials choice matter; we steer people away from anything that will swell or warp within three seasons. A typical countertop installation in Ojus runs $2,000 to $6,500.

Backsplash, Tile & Flooring

Backsplash and tile work in Ojus kitchens gets hit with daily heat and humidity swings, so we use a Schluter system under all tile to keep the substrate stable. A backsplash installation in Ojus generally runs $800 to $2,500 depending on square footage and material. We also handle the flooring that ties the kitchen into the rest of the home, because a kitchen remodel that stops at the doorway looks like a patch job.

Kitchen Island Installation

Plenty of Ojus homeowners want a kitchen island added to an existing footprint, and it’s one of our most common requests. In older CBS homes, that often means rerouting plumbing and electrical through a concrete slab, which is real work that should be priced honestly. A standalone kitchen island installation in Ojus runs $3,000 to $10,000 depending on the size and whether it carries a sink, cooktop, or just counter space.

Kitchen Design & Layout

We do design work in-house, not through a design center in another state. Tom sits with you at your kitchen table in Ojus, measures the existing footprint, and walks you through what works in the space you actually have. If you’re updating a small or partial kitchen, we’ll be straight with you about what’s worth doing and what isn’t. If you’re also thinking about the bathroom down the hall, our Bathroom Remodeling in Ojus crew works with the same in-house design process.

Trusted Brands We Service in Ojus

We install kitchen systems from brands you can look up. KraftMaid cabinets, Cambria quartz, Schluter tile systems, and Grohe fixtures are all in the regular rotation for our Ojus projects. We keep common Schluter profiles and backer-rod stock on hand because we’re only a short drive from Ojus, which means less waiting when a small supply item runs short mid-install. If you want a second opinion on any written kitchen estimate from another company, it’s free, and we’ll honor that offer anywhere in Ojus. We also handle exterior work on Ojus homes; if your kitchen remodel exposes roofline or flashing issues, our Roofing in Ojus team can address it without you having to call a separate contractor and start the trust-building process all over again.

Common Kitchen Remodeling Problems We See in Ojus Homes

We’ve opened up enough Ojus kitchens to know what’s usually waiting behind the drywall. Here’s what we see most:

• Original 1960s plumbing and wiring. Many Ojus concrete block homes still carry their original copper and aluminum wiring behind the kitchen walls, and neither passes current Miami-Dade inspection. We price the correction into the written scope before demolition starts.
• Corrosion and spalling on CBS walls. High ambient humidity and coastal air accelerate rust on steel rebar inside concrete block, which shows up as cracked, flaking wall surfaces once cabinets come down. We repair the block before we hang anything new.
• No secondary water barrier behind exterior kitchen walls. Older Ojus homes predate the 1992 code overhaul, so exterior kitchen walls often lack the secondary water barrier HVHZ rules now require. When we open a wall that qualifies, we bring it up to code and get it signed off.
• Cabinets and countertops that were never meant for this climate. Particleboard cabinet boxes and laminate fronts swell, delaminate, and fail quickly in Ojus humidity. We spec materials that hold up in South Florida’s specific environment, not materials chosen because they were on sale in a catalog.
