Remodeling Company in Sunset, FL
Home remodeling in Sunset means working on 1950s-to-1980s concrete block and wood-frame houses that now have to meet Miami-Dade’s hurricane and flood codes. Most of the work we do here is retrofitting: opening up small ranch kitchens, replacing corroded galvanized plumbing, and bringing electrical panels up to current standards before interior finishes go in. A full home remodel in Sunset typically runs $45,000 to $130,000 depending on scope, layout changes, and what’s hiding behind the walls. If you’re planning work here, call (850) 988-7559 for a written price before anything gets demolished.
Why Sunset Homes Are Different
Sunset sits low and flat, with a housing stock built mostly between the 1950s and 1980s. The dominant construction challenge here is not new builds. It’s retrofitting those older homes to meet Miami-Dade’s strictest-in-Florida building regulations while respecting the original bones. Many of the original one-story ranch and Florida-Cracker-inspired houses have concrete block walls, low-pitched roofs, and carports that were never designed for impact-rated windows or modern roof tie-downs.
Climate shapes every decision. The subtropical heat and humidity from June through November demand real moisture management: proper vapor barriers, exterior-rated sheathing, and ventilation that keeps wall cavities dry. Hurricane season means any remodel that opens a wall or roof has to account for code-required strapping, anchors, and impact protection. Older homes here also carry aging infrastructure. We routinely find original galvanized water lines corroded from the area’s slightly saline groundwater, and the neighborhood’s large ficus trees send roots into sewer laterals more often than homeowners expect. Those discoveries change the scope, which is why our written price process starts with a real walkthrough, not a guess over the phone.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Sunset Services
Two services account for most of the calls we get from Sunset homeowners: general contracting for whole-home and multi-trade work, and kitchen and bathroom remodels in older houses that need code upgrades at the same time.
General Contractor in Sunset
When a Sunset project touches plumbing, electrical, structural framing, and finishes all at once, it needs a general contractor who carries the permit, coordinates inspections, and keeps the job moving under Miami-Dade’s code requirements. Older Sunset homes often surprise you: a wall comes down and the wiring is original, the drain line is cast iron, the subfloor has moisture damage. General Contractor in Sunset work means the written price accounts for those realities before the first tool is lifted, and the 365-Day Done Right Promise stays in writing through closeout.
Bathroom Remodeling in Sunset
Sunset’s older bathrooms are small, often 5×8, with original tub surrounds and single-gang electrical that no longer meets code for GFCI protection. The work typically involves waterproof substrate replacement, new shower valves, modern vent fans sized for the humidity, and finishes that hold up to constant moisture. Bathroom Remodeling in Sunset ranges from $9,000 to $28,000 for a full gut and rebuild, and we put the price in writing before demo starts.
Kitchen Remodeling in Sunset
Kitchens in Sunset’s ranch homes were built smaller than anything a modern family expects. Load-bearing walls between the kitchen and living room are common, so opening up the space often means engineered beams and permit drawings. Kitchen Remodeling in Sunset typically lands between $14,000 and $45,000 depending on cabinet line, countertop material, and whether we’re moving plumbing or gas. Every project gets a written guarantee alongside the written price.

Home Remodeling in Sunset
Whole-home remodeling in Sunset usually starts with a house that has good bones but outdated everything: single-pane windows, original electrical panels, cast iron drains, and layouts that don’t match how families live now. The real project is bringing the house up to current code while preserving what’s worth keeping. We handle the job as a Home Remodeling general contractor, which means one written price, one permit set, one crew schedule, and one 365-day guarantee across the entire scope. In Sunset, that almost always includes hurricane strapping, impact-rated window or shutter decisions, and moisture control details that a paint-and-floor refresh wouldn’t touch.

Whole House Remodel
Signs you need it
The house needs code-driven upgrades (electrical panel, windows, roof tie-downs) alongside cosmetic work, and doing it room by room would cost more and take longer.
What it costs in Sunset
A whole house remodel in Sunset falls between $45,000 and $130,000, with the biggest swings coming from foundation surprises and the extent of plumbing replacement.

| Kitchen remodel | $14,000 – $45,000 |

What pushes price up in Sunset is the age of the house: original galvanized supply lines, cast iron drains, ungrounded wiring, and missing hurricane straps are the most common scope adders we uncover.
How long does a whole home remodel take in Sunset?
A whole house remodel in Sunset typically runs 4 to 8 months depending on scope. Permitting under Miami-Dade’s code review adds 3 to 6 weeks at the front end, and any structural or window changes extend the timeline. Call (850) 988-7559 for a written estimate with a real schedule.
Will the price change once work starts on a Sunset remodel?
No, not unless you change the scope. The written price we give you before work starts is the number on the final invoice. If we uncover something behind a wall, we stop, explain the finding, and agree on any change order in writing before proceeding.

Two things push pricing up in Sunset more than anywhere else: the age of the mechanical systems hiding in 1950s-to-1980s houses, and the Miami-Dade code requirements that kick in the moment you open a wall. Galvanized supply lines, cast iron drains, and ungrounded panels are not extras we tack on; they’re code-driven fixes that a real contractor has to include in a real price. We give you that number in writing before work starts, so you’re not carrying risk you didn’t agree to.
