AfterFast, Reliable Kitchen Remodeling Across Miami
A full kitchen remodel in Miami typically runs $16,520-$53,100 and takes 6-12 weeks from permit to final inspection, though the timeline stretches when hidden conditions surface in older homes. We’re Rowan Construction Group, and our Kitchen Remodeling crews work from our South Florida dispatch office, serving Miami neighborhoods from Little Havana to Key Biscayne with the same flat-price, written-scope process we’ve used on 4,000-plus projects since 2007. Call (786) 321-4970 to schedule your free estimate.
Why Rowan Construction Group Miami Is Miami’s Preferred Kitchen Remodeling Company
We’ve delivered kitchen remodels across Miami’s distinct housing zones - from pre-Andrew CBS homes in Allapattah and West Flagler to post-HVHZ structures in Coral Gables and Brickell - and the pattern is consistent: homeowners who’ve already received one or two quotes elsewhere come to us because the numbers shifted mid-project. Our reviews from Miami customers consistently cite the same thing: the price we write before work starts is the price they pay, with change orders signed in advance when conditions change. That’s Clause 1 of The Haven Standard, and it’s why Haven acquired Rowan in the first place.
Our crews are background-checked, uniformed, and carry a documented photo record on every visit - included as standard, not an upgrade. Calls are answered by a live person 24/7, and our Miami dispatch coordinates scheduling with local permit timelines, which swell predictably ahead of hurricane season. We’re state-licensed, insured and bonded, and every written quote includes a written warranty and our 365-Day Done Right Promise: if it’s not done right, we make it right.
Our Kitchen Remodeling Services in Miami
Full Kitchen Remodeling
A full kitchen remodel in Miami means stripping to studs in a market where studs are often concrete block with furring strips, not wood frame. In pre-1992 homes - common in Little Havana, Allapattah, and West Flagler - we expect to find cloth wiring, corroded rebar at slab edges, and missing roof-to-wall hurricane straps. We build allowances for these conditions into every written scope, then price any necessary structural retrofit in a signed change order before drywall goes up. The result: inspection sign-off the first time, not a red-tag surprise that adds six weeks.
Kitchen Design & Layout
Miami’s kitchen layouts are shaped by tight lot lines and CBS construction load paths that don’t always match what a designer draws on paper. We measure the actual structure - bearing walls, slab penetrations, and existing mechanical chases - before we finalize any layout. In Miami Beach’s Art Deco and MiMo buildings, historic-preservation review adds a layer we coordinate with the city’s planning office, so your permit package is complete the first submission. Our design process includes a written price for every option, not a “let’s see how it goes” conversation.
Cabinet Installation & Refacing
We source KraftMaid, Wellborn, and other vetted brands with spec sheets that satisfy Miami-Dade permitting requirements. Cabinet installation in Miami’s humid, salt-air environment demands stainless or hot-dip galvanized fasteners - standard on our jobs, not an upgrade - because standard steel hardware corrodes within a few years. Refacing works when the existing boxes are plumb and the slab hasn’t settled; we tell you which condition you have, with photos, before you choose.
Countertop Installation
Cambria and Caesarstone quartz, granite, and solid-surface options are priced by the square foot with sink and faucet cutouts itemized. In Miami’s coastal zones, we specify adhesives and sealants rated for high-moisture environments - the same products we use in our bathroom and roofing work, not hardware-store generics that fail at the substrate.
Backsplash, Tile & Flooring
Schluter waterproofing membranes are our baseline for any wet-area tile work in Miami, where humidity and occasional flooding stress standard installations. We specify porcelain or ceramic rated for the application, with mortar and grout selected for the specific substrate - concrete slab, plywood, or Schluter-DITRA - and we document the install with photos before and after.

BeforeAfterTrusted Brands We Service in Miami
We maintain sourcing relationships across fifty-plus vetted brands, including Toto fixtures, Delta and American Standard plumbing components, and Schluter waterproofing systems. For Miami customers, this means we stock or can quickly source products with valid Miami-Dade County Notice of Acceptance (NOA) numbers - the product-approval layer required for any exterior component in the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone. An out-of-state sub or online retailer won’t flag a missing NOA until the rough inspection fails; we verify the number before we order, because we’ve seen that delay cost homeowners six weeks.
Common Kitchen Remodeling Problems We See in Miami Homes
- Missing hurricane straps in pre-1992 CBS walls. Open a kitchen wall in a pre-Andrew home and you may find no roof-to-wall connection at all. This triggers a separate structural permit and strap retrofit - invisible until demolition, but required for rough-in approval. We write an allowance into every pre-1992 scope.
- Corroded rebar and standard fasteners at the coast. Miami’s salt air accelerates corrosion of steel embedded in concrete. We specify stainless or hot-dip galvanized hardware as baseline, because replacing failed anchors after cabinet install is a demolition job, not a adjustment.
- Cloth wiring that won’t pass rough-in. Pre-1992 homes often have ungrounded cloth-insulated wiring that must be replaced for any kitchen circuit expansion. We price this as a line-item allowance, not a surprise.
- Impact doors and windows without valid NOA numbers. Any exterior door or window in a Miami kitchen remodel must carry a current Miami-Dade NOA. We verify every product in the local approval database before submittal; inspectors here fail rough inspections for expired or missing NOAs even when the product is rated elsewhere in Florida.

FAQs - Kitchen Remodeling in Miami
Because pre-1992 CBS homes in Miami commonly hide conditions - missing hurricane straps, corroded rebar, cloth wiring - that only appear when walls open, and these require structural permits and code upgrades that a bare-bones quote doesn’t cover. At Rowan, we build allowances into our written scope for these likely conditions, then price any surprises in a signed change order before we proceed, so the final cost stays within a few percent of the agreed number. Call (786) 321-4970 for an exact quote on your specific home - estimates are free.
Yes. Any kitchen remodel involving plumbing, electrical, or structural work requires a Miami-Dade building permit, and the rough inspection only passes when walls are open - meaning hidden conditions surface at a point where change orders are the only honest path forward. We pull permits as standard, include inspection scheduling in our timeline, and verify every product’s NOA number before submittal. Call (786) 321-4970 to discuss your project’s permit path.
Salt air accelerates corrosion of standard steel fasteners, anchor bolts, and rebar embedded in concrete, so we specify stainless or hot-dip galvanized hardware as baseline on any coastal or bay-adjacent project. This isn’t an upgrade - it’s the spec that prevents cabinet pull-away, door-frame rot, and structural failure five years after install. Call (786) 321-4970 and we’ll show you the hardware difference in our photo records from past Miami jobs.
We can, but we sequence carefully. Any open-structure phase - roof work, exterior envelope openings, or extended wall demolition - gets scheduled outside the June-November window when possible, because a partially enclosed kitchen exposed to a tropical storm is a water-damage risk. Interior-only work with existing weather protection proceeds year-round. We build this sequencing into our written timeline before you sign. Call (786) 321-4970 to discuss your target completion date.
A full kitchen remodel strips to structure and replaces layout, mechanicals, cabinets, countertops, and finishes - typical in Miami’s pre-1992 stock where everything needs updating. A small kitchen remodel preserves layout and updates surfaces, fixtures, and select appliances, common in post-Andrew condos and townhomes where the structure is sound. The price gap is significant: full runs $16,520-$53,100, small runs $10,620-$23,600. We tell you which category your home fits after our initial inspection, with photos. Call (786) 321-4970 to schedule yours.
