Cabinets & Countertops in Miami, FL

Cabinets & Countertops in Miami, FL

Our Kitchen Remodeling services for cabinet and countertop replacement in Miami typically run $9,000 – $28,000 for an average 150-square-foot kitchen, including removal, disposal, new cabinetry, countertop fabrication, and install. Most projects take two to four weeks from tear-out to final walkthrough, with cabinet installation accounting for about a third of that time. At Penhallow Remodeling Miami, you get a written price before any work starts, and that number is the number on the invoice.

If your kitchen is the one room in the house that no longer works the way you need it to, the cabinets and countertops are usually why. The layout fights you. The drawers stick. The laminate has bubbled at the seams where Miami’s humidity crept in. This page explains what we do, what it costs, how the process works, and why you’ll know exactly where you stand before a single cabinet is pulled. For the full scope of what a kitchen project can include, see our Kitchen Remodeling in Miami page.

Call us at (850) 988-7559 and a real person answers, any hour, any day.

Key Takeaways

• Real price range: $9,000 – $28,000 for cabinets and countertops in a typical Miami kitchen, depending on material and layout.
• Written price up front: You get a number in writing before work begins. That number does not change unless you change the scope.
• 365-Day Done Right Promise: If something fails inside a year, we come back and fix it at no charge. It’s in writing.
• Materials that carry their own warranties: We install KraftMaid and Wellborn cabinets, plus Cambria, Silestone, and Caesarstone quartz, all backed by manufacturer warranties alongside ours.
• Live phone coverage 24/7: No voicemail maze. A person answers.

When You Need Cabinets & Countertops

You’ll know it when you see it. Here are the situations Miami homeowners call us about most often:

• The cabinet boxes are failing. Water exposure under the sink in a Coral Gables condo or a Kendall ranch house has swollen the particleboard, and the doors no longer hang square. New countertops on rotted cabinets is money wasted.
• The layout doesn’t match how you actually cook. The peninsula blocks the path between the fridge and the range. You’re working around the kitchen instead of in it. New cabinets let you fix the flow, not just the finish.
• The countertops are chipped, stained, or delaminating. Miami’s heat and humidity are hard on laminate. Seams open, edges peel, and once moisture gets under the surface layer, the counter is done.
• You’re selling and the kitchen is the objection. Buyers in Miami walk into a dated kitchen and subtract $25,000 from their offer without saying anything. Refreshed cabinets and counters change that conversation.
• The hardware and drawer slides are exhausted. Soft-close slides worn out, hinges sagging, drawer boxes pulling apart at the joints. At some point you’re rebuilding them piece by piece anyway.
• You just finished living with it for too long. The Formica from 1987 has done its duty. You’re ready for a kitchen that looks and functions like it belongs in this decade, in this city.

If any of these sound like your kitchen, call (850) 988-7559. We’ll talk through what you’re seeing and tell you honestly whether repair or replacement makes sense.

Our Cabinets & Countertops Process

Here’s how a typical project goes with us, from first call to final walkthrough. No surprises, no mystery stages, no crew showing up without warning.

1. The call and the conversation. You call (850) 988-7559, you talk to a person, and we schedule a time for Trevor or one of our project leads to walk the space with you. We talk about how you cook, where the pain points are, and what’s realistic for your budget.
2. The written price. We come back to you with a written number. Not a range, not a verbal ballpark. A documented price for the scope we discussed. This is the Kingswell standard: say the price before the work. If the number doesn’t work for you, that’s fine. Nothing has been torn out.
3. Material selection and ordering. We walk you through cabinet lines like KraftMaid and Wellborn, and countertop surfaces like Cambria quartz, Silestone, and Caesarstone. Samples in hand, not photos on a website. You choose what fits the budget we put in writing.
4. Demolition and prep. We remove the old cabinets and counters, then check the walls and floor for level and plumb. Miami homes settle, and we account for that before the first cabinet box is hung. We evaluate the substrate (the structural layer behind and underneath everything) so the new install has something solid to anchor into.
5. Cabinet installation. Boxes go in, then doors, drawers, hardware, and soft-close slides. We check reveals, adjust hinges, and make sure every drawer opens the way it should. This is the stage where precision matters most, and we take the time it requires.
6. Countertop templating and fabrication. We template digitally for exact fit, then fabricate and install the slab. Seams are placed where they make sense, sink and faucet cutouts are precise, and the final surface is sealed and clean before we hand it back to you.
7. Final walkthrough and the written guarantee. We walk the project with you, confirm everything is done to the price and the plan, and hand you the written 365-Day Done Right Promise. If it fails inside a year, we return and fix it. Free second visit. No re-inspection fee. It’s in writing.

Our technicians are background-checked and arrive in uniform. When we give you a window, we keep it.

Cabinets & Countertops Pricing in Miami

Here’s what we see in today’s Miami market, based on materials and typical kitchen sizes. These are real working ranges, not internet estimates.

Scope	Typical Range	What Drives the Price
Stock cabinets, laminate countertops	$9,000 – $14,000	Basic door styles, limited finish options, laminate or basic solid surface counters. Good for rentals and flips.
Semi-custom cabinets, quartz countertops	$14,000 – $22,000	KraftMaid or Wellborn cabinetry with more door style choices, Cambria or Silestone quartz in standard colors, soft-close hardware.
Full custom cabinets, premium quartz or stone	$22,000 – $28,000+	Custom cabinet dimensions, specialty finishes, bookmatched slabs, Caesarstone or exotic stone, under-cabinet lighting packages.

These ranges include removal of the old cabinets and counters, disposal, basic plumbing disconnect and reconnect for the sink, cabinet installation, countertop fabrication, and clean-up. They assume a standard 10×15-foot or 150-square-foot Kitchen Design & Layout. Larger kitchens, galley reconfigurations, and any structural changes to walls or plumbing will move the number.

Here’s what changes the price the most:

• Cabinet line. Stock costs less than semi-custom, which costs less than full custom. The jump from stock to semi-custom is often $3,000 – $5,000.
• Countertop material. Laminate is the entry point. Quartz sits in the middle and is what we recommend for most Miami kitchens because it resists the humidity and doesn’t need sealing like natural stone. Premium natural stone or exotic quartz colors push higher.
• Box construction. Upgrading from particleboard boxes to plywood boxes is a line item. It matters if you’ve had water damage before. Worth discussing if your kitchen has a history of leaks.
• Hardware and slides. Soft-close everything is standard on our mid and upper tiers. Premium hardware finishes and specialty pulls add cost in small amounts.
• Labor complexity. Older Miami homes with uneven floors, out-of-square corners, or plumbing that needs relocation will take more prep time. We account for it in the written price, not change-order it later.

You’ll get a written estimate at no charge. Call (850) 988-7559 and we’ll put a number together based on your actual kitchen, not a generic online calculator.

Materials We Install and Stand Behind

We don’t push one brand. We stock what we’ve seen hold up in Miami’s climate and what carries a warranty we can back with our own. Here’s what that looks like:

Cabinets: KraftMaid and Wellborn are our primary cabinet lines. Both offer semi-custom and custom configurations, plywood box upgrades, and finish options that hold up to heat and humidity. The warranties from these manufacturers run from limited lifetime on the boxes and hinges to multi-year coverage on finishes. Our 365-Day Done Right Promise sits on top of that.

Countertops: Cambria, Silestone, and Caesarstone are the quartz brands we fabricate and install. Quartz is non-porous, so it doesn’t absorb the condensation and cooking moisture that Miami kitchens produce year-round. Cambria carries a lifetime warranty on the product. Silestone and Caesarstone have their own manufacturer-backed coverage that varies by product line. We’ll explain the specifics for the slab you choose.

Fixtures and faucets: We install Kohler and Moen as our standard faucet and sink lines, with Delta, American Standard, and Toto available where they fit the project. We also use Schluter systems for waterproofing transitions where countertop meets backsplash, which matters in a climate where humidity is a year-round factor.

The point of naming these is simple: the products behind our guarantee are as solid as the promise itself. When we write a number and a guarantee, we’re backing materials we know will perform.

Why Cabinets and Countertops Are the Same Conversation in Miami

We rarely replace one without touching the other. Here’s why: in most Miami kitchens built before 2005, the cabinet boxes and the countertop were installed as a single assembly. The counter is adhered directly to the cabinet tops. Pull one apart and the other gets damaged almost every time. That’s not a tactic to expand a project. That’s the way these kitchens are built.

There’s a second reason, one specific to Miami. The humidity and salt air in coastal neighborhoods like Brickell, Coconut Grove, and Key Biscayne accelerate wear on both surfaces at the same rate. Laminate edges lift. Cabinet door frames expand and contract. The failures show up together, which means the fix should happen together. When we price both, you fix the kitchen once instead of coming back in two years to tear out the counters you just replaced because the boxes underneath them finally failed.

If you’re on the fence about whether your situation is a repair or a replacement, call us. We’ll tell you what we’d do in your position, even if the answer is “not yet.” That’s the way we’d want to be treated.

Where We Work in Miami

Penhallow Remodeling Miami serves homeowners across the city and the surrounding communities. We’re doing cabinet and countertop projects in Coral Gables, Coconut Grove, Kendall, Doral, Pinecrest, Palmetto Bay, Cutler Bay, Homestead, Hialeah, Westchester, Fontainebleau, and across the greater Miami-Dade area. Each neighborhood has its own housing stock, and we work with it rather than against it.

In Coral Gables, we see a lot of pre-1960s homes with framed cabinets that were built on-site. In Kendall and Doral, it’s tract housing from the ’80s and ’90s where the original cabinets are particleboard and the counters are post-formed laminate. In Coconut Grove and Pinecrest, we see more custom work where the homeowner wants something built to last another twenty years. We approach each job the same way: written price first, a real arrival window, and a clean job site when we leave.

Call (850) 988-7559 to schedule a walkthrough at your home, wherever you are in Miami-Dade.

FAQs – Cabinets & Countertops

How much do cabinets and countertops cost in Miami?

Full Kitchen Remodeling with cabinets and countertops for a standard Miami kitchen runs $9,000 – $28,000 depending on the cabinet line, countertop material, and the age and condition of the room. Stock cabinets with laminate counters land at the low end, semi-custom cabinets with quartz in the middle, and full custom with premium stone at the top. The price you get from us is written and fixed before any work starts. Call (850) 988-7559 for an exact quote on your kitchen. Estimates are free.

How long does a cabinet and countertop replacement take?

Plan on two to four weeks from demolition to final walkthrough. Cabinet installation takes five to eight working days, countertop templating and fabrication runs one to two weeks after cabinets are set, and materials lead times depend on the cabinet line you choose. We’ll give you a schedule in writing as part of the estimate, and we keep the arrival windows we set.

Is it cheaper to reface cabinets than to replace them?

Refacing typically costs 40 – 60% less than full replacement, but it only makes sense if your existing cabinet boxes are structurally sound. In Miami, where humidity and old sink leaks have often compromised the boxes, refacing can be a coat of paint on a failing structure. We’ll inspect your cabinets and tell you honestly which route makes sense. If refacing is viable, we’ll price it. If it isn’t, we’ll show you what full replacement costs instead, including any Kitchen Island Installation you may want.

Can you match the countertop to the rest of the kitchen?

Yes. We work with Cambria, Silestone, and Caesarstone quartz, all of which offer consistent color and pattern control across slabs. Natural stone has more variation from slab to slab, which is why we recommend quartz for most Miami kitchens. You’ll see and approve the exact slab before fabrication. If you need a very specific match to existing tile or paint, we’ll help you find it.

Do you handle the plumbing and electrical for the kitchen too?

We handle sink and faucet disconnect and reconnect as part of the project, and we coordinate any electrical work needed for under-cabinet lighting or appliance circuits through the job. You won’t need to chase down a separate plumber or electrician. Anything outside our general contractor scope gets managed through the written price, so there are no surprises.
