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

Fast, Reliable Kitchen Remodeling Across Kendall

A full kitchen remodel in Kendall typically runs $14,000-$45,000, takes 4-8 weeks from permit to final inspection, and must clear Miami-Dade County’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ) requirements before any cabinet goes in. That’s the number we put in writing before work starts, every time. Call (786) 321-4970 to schedule your free estimate.

We serve Kendall from our Miami office, with crews dispatched to neighborhoods from The Crossings to Kendale Lakes to the streets off Killian Parkway. Kendall’s housing stock - mostly 1970s-90s concrete block and stucco homes on slab foundations - carries a specific history: Hurricane Andrew’s 1992 path rewrote the local building code, and the patchwork of original construction plus emergency-era repairs now hitting the 30-year mark creates compliance gaps that surface the moment you pull a permit. Our Kitchen Remodeling team knows the Miami-Dade Building Department’s expectations because we’ve cleared 4,000-plus projects under the same HVHZ rules.

Why Rowan Construction Group Miami Is Kendall’s Preferred Kitchen Remodeling Company

Grant Rowan founded this operation in 2007 on a single discipline: a written price before any work starts, backed by a signed scope and a 365-Day Done Right Promise. In Kendall, that means quotes that include HVHZ-mandated product approvals and inspection contingencies - not surprise change orders when the inspector flags a pre-Andrew opening.

Our crews are background-checked, uniformed, and arrive with a documented photo record as standard. A live person answers calls 24/7. We’ve delivered 4,000-plus projects across South Florida, and our Kendall jobs finish within a few percent of the agreed price because Clause 1 of The Haven Standard requires the number in writing before anyone picks up a tool.

We offer a Free Second Opinion on any written estimate. Bring a competitor’s quote and we’ll review it line by line at no charge. Most out-of-county contractors we see miss Miami-Dade’s Notice of Acceptance (NOA) requirements for new window and door openings - a line-item cost that balloons mid-project when the inspector rejects the install.

Our Kitchen Remodeling Services in Kendall

Full Kitchen Remodeling

A full kitchen remodel in Kendall starts at $14,000 and ranges to $45,000 for extensive reconfigurations with premium finishes. Every quote we write includes HVHZ compliance review: if your home’s original 1978-1985 openings pre-date current wind-load minimums, we’ll flag the impact-rated fenestration upgrade before demolition, not after the inspector fails it. In a 1978 CBS home off Killian Parkway near Sunset Drive, our crew opened a galley kitchen and found no secondary moisture barrier under the original stucco, so we added a fluid-applied weather-resistant barrier before setting KraftMaid cabinets and a Cambria quartz island. When the Miami-Dade inspector reviewed the new slider opening, he required the header tie-downs to be upgraded to current HVHZ minimums - our change order listed the specific NOA-numbered straps and the re-inspection sign-off. The homeowner’s wind-mitigation documentation later reflected the upgrade, which her insurance carrier acknowledged at renewal.

Kitchen Island Installation

Kitchen island installation in Kendall runs $3,000-$10,000, but the number changes fast if you’re adding a sink or cooktop. Kendall sits on porous Miami oolite limestone with a seasonal water table that rises to within inches of grade during the June-October rainy season. Any below-slab rough-in for drainage requires dewatering and vapor-barrier detailing that inland Florida contractors skip - and that Miami-Dade inspectors enforce. We quote the full rough-in, not just the box and countertop.

Quartz & Granite Countertops

Countertop installation in Kendall ranges $2,000-$6,500, with Cambria and Caesarstone as our primary quartz lines and natural granite sourced by slab. The humid, salt-laden southeast breezes here accelerate corrosion of metal support brackets and exposed rebar in older homes; we spec marine-grade fasteners in coastal-exposed kitchens and document the substrate condition with photos before setting stone.

Cabinets & Countertops

Cabinet installation runs $4,000-$13,000 in Kendall. We source KraftMaid and Wellborn lines with NOA documentation where required for HVHZ compliance. Post-Andrew 1990s patch repairs to stucco around kitchen openings often conceal corroded metal connectors; opening a wall for cabinet mounting reveals load-bearing gaps we flag in the written quote, not in a mid-project surprise.

Backsplash & Tile Flooring

Backsplash installation in Kendall costs $800-$2,500. Tile and flooring pricing varies by material and subfloor condition. Many Kendall kitchens sit on original slab with no vapor barrier, and the seasonal humidity pushes moisture through porous grout lines; we assess slab condition before quoting and specify membrane systems where the substrate requires it.

Kitchen Design & Layout

Our design process starts with a measured as-built and a permit feasibility review. In Kendall, that means checking the Miami-Dade Property Appraiser records for Andrew-era structural notes and flagging any opening that may trigger HVHZ upgrade requirements. The design we present includes a written price for the full compliant scope - not a rendering with a “call for quote” footnote.

Trusted Brands We Service in Kendall

We maintain sourcing depth across fifty-plus vetted brands, including KraftMaid and Wellborn cabinets, Cambria and Caesarstone countertops, and Kohler and Toto fixtures. For Kendall’s HVHZ environment, we stock impact-rated window and slider inventory with current Miami-Dade NOA numbers - the documentation out-of-market contractors routinely lack. Our relationships with these manufacturers mean we quote honest numbers, not inflated allowances, and we can source replacement components without the delays that stretch timelines in a county with its own product-approval system.

Common Kitchen Remodeling Problems We See in Kendall Homes

• Original openings that pre-date HVHZ minimums. Many 1970s-80s CBS homes in Kendale Lakes and The Crossings still carry windows and sliders installed before current wind-load standards. A kitchen remodel permit triggers inspection of the home’s load-bearing envelope, and the inspector will require impact-rated upgrades for any new or enlarged opening. We include this in our written quote.
• Post-Andrew patch repairs concealing structural gaps. The chaotic 1992-1995 re-roofing and stucco repair window often left original skip-sheathing, under-nailed plywood, and corroded tie-downs in place. Opening a wall for a backsplash or island install reveals these gaps. Our photo documentation captures what we find before the change order is written and signed.
• Below-slab moisture in island rough-ins. Kendall’s flat terrain and high seasonal water table make any kitchen island sink or relocated plumbing rough-in substantially more complex than inland work. Cheap quotes skip the dewatering and vapor-barrier detailing; we include it and document the slab condition with photos.
• Out-of-county contractors missing NOA requirements. Miami-Dade’s product-approval system is more stringent than Broward County’s and requires county-specific documentation. Contractors without local permit experience quote interior finishes and fail inspection when the inspector demands NOA-numbered straps, barriers, or impact-rated fenestration.
