Trusted Kitchen Remodeling for Miami Homeowners
Kitchen remodeling in Miami typically costs between $16,520 and $53,100 depending on layout, cabinet line and countertop material. Penhallow Remodeling puts that number in writing before any work starts, so the price you approve on day one is the price on the final invoice. Trevor Nash leads our Miami team with a simple rule: say the price, show up on time, and stand behind the work for 365 days. If a cabinet door sags, a drawer sticks, or a seam opens inside that year, we return and make it right at no charge. That promise is in writing on every kitchen we remodel. Call (850) 988-7559 to schedule a free estimate.
We work throughout Miami, from Shenandoah to Coral Way to The Roads, and we have seen what humidity and salt air do to kitchens over time. Swollen cabinet frames, corroded hinges, grout that holds moisture, and layouts that trap heat are all common here. Our approach accounts for Miami’s climate from the first measurement, not as an afterthought.
Kitchen Remodeling Contractor
A Kitchen Remodeling Contractor is the general contractor who manages the entire kitchen renovation from demolition to final walkthrough, including permits, subcontractor scheduling, and material procurement. In Miami, hiring a licensed contractor for Full Kitchen Remodeling typically costs $16,520 to $53,100, depending on the size of the space and the cabinet and countertop selections. Penhallow Remodeling operates as your single point of contact: background-checked, uniformed technicians handle the work, and Trevor Nash signs off on the plan before anything is touched. You get one written price, one written guarantee, and one person to call when you have a question.
Permit and Subcontractor Coordination
When structural changes, plumbing relocations, or electrical updates are involved, Miami-Dade County requires permits. Penhallow Remodeling pulls every permit the job needs and schedules the inspections. You will never be asked to chase down a permit office or wonder whether the work passed code.
Some kitchen remodels in older Miami homes reveal wiring or plumbing that is no longer up to current code. Our team flag issues as they appear and gives you a written recommendation before proceeding. No surprise change order handed to you after the wall is open.
Written Price Before Demo Begins
The Kingswell Way requires a written price before any work starts, and that is the number you hold us to. You will not get a verbal ballpark that becomes a different number after demo day. We walk the space with you, measure, and produce a line-item quote that names the materials, labor, and timeline.
Once the scope is set, the price is locked. We do not hide behind allowances that evaporate when you pick a faucet or a cabinet style. The few items that might affect your final number, like a rotted subfloor discovered after tile removal, are explained in writing before we proceed.
Styles & brands we work with
Kitchen Design
Kitchen Design is the planning phase where layout, cabinet configuration, and finish selections come together before any construction begins. A thoughtful design prevents costly mistakes, and in Miami’s often older housing stock, design must account for load-bearing walls, window placement, and existing plumbing locations. Penhallow Remodeling includes Cabinets & Countertops design consultation in every kitchen estimate, and the cost of design is built into the overall range of $16,520 to $53,100 rather than billed as a separate surprise line item. We work with KraftMaid and Wellborn cabinetry lines, and our countertop vendors include Cambria, Silestone, and Caesarstone.
Layout and Workflow Considerations
The classic kitchen work triangle, which is the distance between sink, refrigerator, and cooktop, still drives most design decisions. In smaller Miami kitchens, we often recommend a galley or L-shaped layout that keeps the triangle tight without cramping storage. Every design starts with how you actually cook and move through the space, not with a catalog fantasy.
We also account for Miami’s humidity and heat in our material guidance. For example, we may recommend a cement board substrate, the moisture-resistant layer behind your tile, rather than drywall in areas that see frequent steam or spills. These are the kinds of decisions that separate a kitchen that lasts from one that shows wear in eighteen months.
Cabinet, Countertop, and Finish Selection
We bring cabinet door samples, countertop slabs, and faucet finish options to your kitchen table. Choosing these materials in your own home, under your own lighting, is far more reliable than guessing from a showroom photo. You will see exactly what the installed drawer fronts and door profiles will look and feel like.
Every material we recommend is backed by a manufacturer’s warranty in addition to our 365-day promise. Kohler and Moen fixtures carry their own warranties, and Cambria quartz has its own lifetime coverage. The products behind the guarantee are as solid as the promise itself.
Kitchen Renovation
Kitchen Renovation is the complete overhaul of the room: gutting the old, replacing or upgrading mechanical systems, and rebuilding with new surfaces, fixtures and appliances. In Miami, a full renovation typically falls between $16,520 and $53,100, with the final number driven by whether you are moving plumbing, expanding the footprint, or keeping the existing layout. Penhallow Remodeling handles every phase in-house, including demolition, rough-in, drywall, tile, cabinet install, countertop install, plumbing trim, and electrical trim. A live person answers our phone day or night, so you are never waiting for a callback while your kitchen is torn apart.
Full-Depth Demolition and Structural Work
Every renovation begins with protecting the rest of your home: floor runners, dust barriers, and sealed doorways. Penhallow Remodeling technicians are uniformed and background-checked, and the standard is a clean job site at the end of every workday. Demolition is controlled and targeted, not a wrecking ball approach.
When we open a wall in an older Miami home, we sometimes find evidence of past water intrusion or termite damage. We photograph what we find and walk you through the fix before proceeding. You will never find out about a problem when the invoice arrives.
System Upgrades and Code Compliance
Many Miami kitchens built before the 1990s are running on undersized circuits for today’s appliance loads. Our renovation scope includes bringing electrical, plumbing, and ventilation up to current code. We pull all required Miami-Dade permits and the inspections are scheduled by us.
Ventilation gets specific attention in Miami’s humid air. A properly sized range hood exhausting to the outside protects your cabinets and ceiling from grease-laden moisture. We size the fan, the duct, and the exterior termination as part of the renovation, because a recirculating hood in a tropical climate simply does not perform.
Cabinet Installation
Cabinet Installation & Refacing is the precise mounting, leveling, and alignment of new kitchen cabinetry. In Miami, where slab foundations and older framing are common, this work often requires shimming and scribing to walls and floors that are rarely perfectly straight. Penhallow Remodeling installs cabinets as part of a full remodel, and the cabinet installation portion typically falls between $4,720 and $15,340 depending on the cabinet line and the number of boxes. We do not hang cabinets on unlevel lines; every run is set with a laser level and anchored into studs.
Setting Boxes and Leveling Runs
The difference between a cabinet that looks good on day one and one that still looks good three years later is how the boxes are set. We use a laser level on every run, shimming where the floor sags and scribing fillers where a wall bows. Every cabinet is anchored into framing, not just drywall, so a heavy drawer full of pots does not pull the box away from the wall.
For homes in neighborhoods like Westchester or Glenvar Heights where settling is common, this step matters even more. A cabinet that is slightly out of level will cause doors to swing on their own and drawers to bind. We correct for the house as it sits today, not as the plan says it should be.
Door Adjustment and Hardware Finish Work
After installation, every door and drawer is adjusted for a consistent 1/8-inch reveal. Hinges are tensioned, soft-close mechanisms are tested, and pulls and knobs are installed to spec. This is the final detail that makes a kitchen feel finished rather than installed.
If a door sags or a drawer sticks inside the first year, that falls under the 365-Day Done Right Promise. We return and correct it at no charge, in writing, on every installation.
Countertop Installation
Countertop installation is the templating, fabrication, and setting of your kitchen work surfaces. In Miami, countertop installation for a standard kitchen runs between $2,360 and $7,670 depending on material and square footage. Penhallow Remodeling installs Cambria, Silestone, and Caesarstone quartz, along with natural stone where the design calls for it. Our template process uses digital measuring, so the slab fits your walls and your sink cutout precisely the first time.
Quartz, Granite, and Solid Surface Options
Quartz has become the most common choice in Miami’s kitchens because it is non-porous, stain-resistant, and does not require annual sealing. Granite holds up well but is porous and should be sealed regularly in a climate where spills sit wet for longer. We will give you an honest comparison during design, including maintenance requirements ten years out.
We carry Cambria, which includes its own lifetime warranty. When a manufacturer’s warranty sits alongside our 365-day promise, you have two layers of protection on the most-used surface in your kitchen.
Seams, Sink Mounts, and Overhangs
Seam placement is planned before fabrication, and we show you exactly where each seam will land before you approve the template. Quartz seams are filled with color-matched adhesive and polished to a nearly invisible line. Sink mounts are cut precisely to your sink template, and under-mount sinks are set with mechanical supports, not just adhesive.
Island overhangs for seating are engineered to the slab material’s limits. A 12-inch overhang on quartz can be unsupported, but granite often needs corbels or steel brackets. These are the details we catch before fabrication, not after a crack appears.
Kitchen Remodeling Company
A Kitchen Remodeling Company is the firm you hire to deliver the entire renovation, including design, labor, materials, permits, and warranty. Penhallow Remodeling is not a referral service or a lead generator that hands your job to whoever answers the phone. We are the company doing the work, with background-checked, uniformed technicians on your job and a project scope in writing. The full range for our Miami kitchen remodels is $16,520 to $53,100, and the number never changes without your written approval.
What Sets Penhallow Remodeling Apart
We are part of the Kingswell family of companies, operating to The Kingswell Way since 2004. That means a written price before any work starts, a defined arrival window, a clean job site, and a written guarantee on every project. Our Miami location is independently owned and operated, and Trevor Nash runs every estimate personally.
A live person answers our phone 24/7. Not a voicemail maze, not a callback window. If you call on a Sunday evening with a question about your project, a real human being answers and helps.
The 365-Day Done Right Promise
Every kitchen we remodel includes a guarantee in writing. If the work fails inside one year, we return and fix it at no charge. If a repair fails, the second visit is free as well. No service call fee, no re-inspection fee, no fine print about which parts are excluded.
We also back the 365-day promise with the products we install. Kohler faucets, Moen fixtures, KraftMaid cabinetry, and Cambria countertops all carry their own manufacturer warranties. The guarantee is not just our word; it is the word of the brands behind the materials.
Small Kitchen Remodel
A Small Kitchen Remodel is a renovation focused on kitchens under roughly 150 square feet where the goal is maximizing function without expanding the footprint. In Miami, where many condos and older bungalows are built around compact footprints, a small kitchen remodel typically costs between $10,620 and $23,600 depending on cabinet line, countertop choice, and whether plumbing is moved. Penhallow Remodeling approaches small spaces with the same written price and written guarantee as a full-size renovation, but the design work emphasizes storage density and clearances.
Storage Density and Clearance Planning
Small kitchens fail not because they are small but because storage is laid out poorly. We plan drawer stacks down to the inch, pushing every cabinet to the ceiling where possible and using roll-out trays inside lower cabinets. We also clear the code-required landing spaces next to the sink and cooktop so the kitchen is legal and comfortable.
In neighborhoods like The Crossings or Kendale Lakes, where small galley kitchens are common, the rebuilt room often performs beyond its square footage. It is not about more space. It is about the right space in the right place.
Lighting and Color Decisions That Expand a Room
In small kitchens, the materials and finishes can visually expand or shrink the space. We often recommend lighter cabinet finishes with a Backsplash, Tile & Flooring combination using reflective tile, paired with under-cabinet lighting that removes shadow lines from the counter. The difference is immediate and it costs far less than moving a wall.
This is where the design consultation earns its keep. We walk the room with you, and we might recommend a single-bowl sink rather than a split bowl to gain 6 inches of counter, or a cooktop instead of a range to free up a drawer bank underneath. The details are the design.
Kitchen Cabinet Refacing Contractors
Kitchen Cabinet Refacing Contractors specialize in replacing cabinet doors, drawer fronts, and veneers while keeping the existing cabinet boxes in place. In Miami, refacing is a genuine option when the cabinet boxes are square, solid, and still properly anchored, and it can cost significantly less than full replacement. Penhallow Remodeling provides refacing as part of its kitchen service, and we will tell you honestly when refacing is the right call and when new cabinets are the better investment.
Door Replacement and Veneer Application
Refacing starts with measuring every box and ordering new doors, drawer fronts, and matching veneer panels in your chosen finish. We then prep and apply the veneer in place, working carefully around face frames. Door and drawer hardware is replaced or reinstalled to match the new finish.
We recommend refacing only when the boxes are structurally sound and the existing layout works. If the boxes are swollen from Miami humidity or the drawer glides are shot, new KraftMaid or Wellborn cabinets will serve you better over the long term. We will give you that answer in writing, whichever way it goes.
Cost and Lead Time Tradeoffs
Cabinet refacing generally costs less than full replacement, but the range depends on door style and finish selection. The labor is more delicate than new installation because we are preserving the existing boxes and working around existing countertops and appliances. Lead time on doors and veneers is similar to new cabinet lead time.
If you are on the fence between refacing and replacement, the free estimate will include pricing for both options. You will have real numbers and a written recommendation from Trevor Nash, not a sales pitch pointed at the higher number.

AfterBrands We Service
We install and service Delta faucets and fixtures, and we have worked with Delta’s kitchen and bath lines across dozens of Miami remodels. Delta’s finish and cartridge warranties are among the strongest in the industry, which means fewer callbacks on the most-used moving parts in your kitchen.
We also install Toto and American Standard plumbing fixtures, and we use Schluter waterproofing systems behind tile in wet areas. Schluter’s uncoupling membranes and waterproofing strips carry their own manufacturer warranties, and we have been specifying their systems for years in Miami’s moisture-heavy kitchens. Whether you have Delta, Toto, American Standard, Schluter, or any other make, we can help.
Signs You Need a Pro Right Now
- Cabinet doors that no longer close. When hinges are worn and doors hang crooked or refuse to latch, the cabinet is telling you the structure is moving. In Miami’s humidity, wood swells, and hinges wear faster than in dry climates. A pro can tell you if it is a hinge adjustment or a full box failure.
- Countertop seams that have opened. A visible gap or a seam that catches a fingernail means water is getting into the substrate beneath. That water rots the material below and invites mold. A seam repair is cheap compared to replacing a swollen substrate and a failed countertop.
- Grout lines that stay dark after cleaning. If grout remains stained no matter what you do, moisture has likely worked into the surface and possibly behind it. In Miami, this can mean a behind-tile leak that no amount of scrubbing will solve. We can assess whether it is cosmetic or structural.
- Soft spots in the floor near the sink or dishwasher. Soft flooring indicates water has been soaking the subfloor. The longer you wait, the more framing gets involved in the repair. The repair is often smaller than the floor replacement that follows if you ignore it.
- Drawers that stick in summer and slide in winter. If your drawers bind when the humidity climbs, the cabinet boxes are absorbing moisture. The problem will not fix itself, and it will get worse each summer. A professional can identify whether the issue is the glides, the finish, or the ventilation in the kitchen.
Our Process, Step by Step
- 1
Initial walkthrough and measurement. Trevor Nash comes to your home in Miami, walks the kitchen with you, and measures everything. We discuss your goals, your frustrations with the current space, and your budget. You get a written estimate, not a verbal range.
- 2
Design and material selection. We bring cabinet samples, countertop slabs, and fixtures to your home so you choose materials in your own lighting. Every selection is recorded in writing, and the final quote reflects exactly what you chose. No allowances that shrink later.
- 3
Permits and scheduling. Penhallow Remodeling pulls every required Miami-Dade permit and schedules the inspections. We give you a defined arrival window for the crew and keep you updated as the work progresses. A live person answers our phone whenever you call.
- 4
Demolition, rough-in, and build. We protect your home with dust barriers and floor protection, then perform controlled demolition. Rough-in for electrical, plumbing, and ventilation goes in next, followed by drywall, tile, cabinets, and countertops. The job site is left clean every day.
- 5
Final walkthrough and written guarantee. We walk the finished kitchen with you and test everything: doors, drawers, faucets, disposal, outlets, and appliances. Any item that is not right gets corrected before we call the job done. Then you receive the 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing.
How Much Does Kitchen Remodeling Cost in Miami?
A typical kitchen remodel in Miami runs $16,520 to $53,100 depending on the cabinet line, countertop material, and whether plumbing or electrical is relocated. A small kitchen remodel generally falls between $10,620 and $23,600. Countertop installation alone typically costs $2,360 to $7,670, while cabinet installation runs $4,720 to $15,340. These ranges reflect Miami’s labor market and material costs as of this writing, and they are the numbers we put in writing before any work begins.
What drives the price up or down? The biggest variable is cabinet construction and finish. Stock cabinets cost substantially less than semi-custom, and custom cabinetry is higher still. The second-biggest variable is moving plumbing or electrical: keeping the sink and range in their existing locations saves money, while relocating either adds days and dollars. Countertop material matters as well. Laminate is the least expensive, granite and mid-range quartz sit in the middle, and premium quartz or natural stone sits at the top.
To avoid overpaying, get a written, line-item quote rather than a lump sum you cannot see inside. A detailed quote lets you compare the actual materials and labor rather than a single number that might hide cheap materials. Our free estimate includes the line-item breakdown, the material brands, the permit line, and the warranty terms. Call (850) 988-7559 and we will schedule it.
