Fast, Reliable Kitchen Remodeling Across Olympia Heights
A full kitchen remodel in Olympia Heights typically runs $14,000-$45,000 for an HVHZ-compliant job, and our Kitchen Remodeling team delivers a written price before any work starts. Call (786) 321-4970 to schedule your free estimate.
We’ve been working in Olympia Heights long enough to know the routine: pull a permit on a 1960s CBS home and Miami-Dade County’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone standards kick in automatically. The jalousie window over your sink, the unstrapped block walls, the original single-pane sliders - none of it passes modern inspection. Our crews plan for this from the first site visit, so the quote you sign includes the NOA-listed products and wind-mitigation upgrades that cheaper bids leave out. Dispatch and scheduling run through our Miami office, but the crew that shows up knows Olympia Heights homes block by block.
Why Rowan Construction Group Miami Is Olympia Heights’s Preferred Kitchen Remodeling Company
We’ve delivered over 4,000 projects since 2007, every one with a written price before work started and a documented photo record when the crew left. In Olympia Heights, that discipline matters more than most places. The 1950s-70s CBS housing stock here was built before Hurricane Andrew rewrote the code, and every permitted kitchen remodel exposes pre-Andrew deficiencies that must be brought to current HVHZ standards. Homeowners here read the three-star reviews and want to see the numbers in writing. We show them.
Our 365-Day Done Right Promise is printed on every page, backed by a terms page, not an asterisk. Under Clause 1 of The Haven Standard, the price is written before anyone starts. Under Clause 2, no change proceeds without a signed change order - the administrative discipline Haven acquired Rowan for, and the reason our projects finish within a few percent of the agreed cost. Background-checked, uniformed technicians; a live person answering calls 24/7; and a documented photo record on every visit, included as standard.
We also 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. We’ve found that out-of-county contractors routinely miss Miami-Dade’s NOA requirements or price standard windows that legally cannot be installed here.

Our Kitchen Remodeling Services in Olympia Heights
Full Kitchen Remodeling
A full kitchen remodel in Olympia Heights starts with understanding what the permit will trigger. Most homes in this CDP are pre-1992 CBS construction with flat or low-pitched roofs, original jalousie or louvered windows, and no hurricane tie connectors. Open a wall, replace a window, rough in a new island - any of it exposes the structure to inspection, and inspection requires HVHZ compliance. Our full remodels include the NOA-listed impact windows or doors, proper strapping, and signed inspection cards that document the upgrade for your insurance file. Typical range: $14,000-$45,000.
Kitchen Design & Layout
Layout changes in Olympia Heights carry a constraint most designers outside Miami-Dade never consider: the Miami Rock Ridge sits just 12-18 inches below grade, and any island or sink relocation that cuts into the slab can hit bedrock fast. We survey the limestone shelf before finalizing the layout, so the quote accounts for jackhammering or blasting if needed, not after the fact. Our design process includes a permit pre-check that flags which walls are load-bearing, which openings need NOA products, and what the wind-mitigation upgrade path looks like. No surprises at rough-in.
Cabinet Installation & Refacing
We source KraftMaid and Wellborn cabinets through vetted distribution, with lead times quoted in writing. In Olympia Heights, cabinet installation often follows window and door replacement - the new NOA-listed impact opening gets strapped and inspected before cabinets go in, because catching a framing correction after installation means removing work already completed. On refacing jobs where the layout stays fixed, we still inspect the wall substrate for moisture intrusion common in older CBS construction, and we document the condition with photos before covering it.
Countertop Installation
Cambria and Caesarstone quartz, granite from selected quarries - we price by the square foot with sink and faucet cutouts itemized. In Olympia Heights kitchens, the countertop often extends to a pass-through or breakfast bar that involves an exterior wall. If that wall has a window replacement in the same scope, the countertop template waits until the NOA-listed window is installed and inspected, so the opening dimensions are final. Standard range: $2,000-$6,500.
Backsplash, Tile & Flooring
Schluter waterproofing systems behind wet-area tile, Ditra or equivalent uncoupling membranes over the concrete slab - we specify the substrate prep in writing because Olympia Heights’s high seasonal water table can drive moisture through older slabs, especially during summer dewatering season. Tile selection affects timeline: imported specialty tile may need longer lead time than the NOA window itself. We coordinate delivery dates so trades aren’t stacked waiting on material.

Trusted Brands We Service in Olympia Heights
We maintain sourcing depth across fifty-plus vetted brands so the written quote carries honest numbers rather than inflated ones. For Olympia Heights kitchen work, that means KraftMaid and Wellborn cabinet lines with Miami-Dade NOA documentation where required; Cambria and Caesarstone countertops with slab-specific pricing; and Toto, Delta, and American Standard fixtures with local parts availability through our supply chain. The NOA-listed impact windows and doors we specify - required on any kitchen opening replacement here - come from manufacturers who maintain current Miami-Dade product approvals, not big-box lines that stop at the Broward county line. We keep approved-product binders on hand and price the compliance overhead into the first quote, not the change order.
Common Kitchen Remodeling Problems We See in Olympia Heights Homes
- NOA product violations on window or door replacements. A contractor bids standard vinyl windows from a national chain, installs them, and the Miami-Dade inspector red-tags the job. The homeowner pays twice: once for the wrong product, again for the remove-and-replace. We verify NOA status before ordering.
- Unstrapped rafter-to-wall connections behind load-bearing kitchen walls. Open a 1960s wall to create an open plan and the inspector finds no hurricane ties between rafter and block. The framing correction stalls rough-in until it’s strapped to HVHZ standards. We probe for this during the site visit and include it in scope.
- Bedrock encounters during island or sink rough-in. The Miami Rock Ridge sits shallow in Olympia Heights. A standard subfloor cut for new plumbing turns into jackhammering work that adds days and dollars. We account for limestone depth in the draw schedule.
- Summer dewatering delays on ground-disturbing work. The flat topography and high water table mean trenching or slab cutting during May-October often requires active pumping. We schedule accordingly or specify seasonal contingencies in writing.

FAQs - Kitchen Remodeling in Olympia Heights
Yes. Any replacement window or exterior door in Olympia Heights must be a Miami-Dade County NOA-listed product. The county’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone standards do not recognize most big-box store window lines that are used freely in neighboring Broward. Our quote includes the NOA verification, the approved product specification, and the inspection documentation. Call (786) 321-4970 for an exact quote - estimates are free.
Almost certainly. Pre-1992 CBS homes in Olympia Heights were built without hurricane tie connectors between rafters and walls, and with single-pane jalousie or louvered windows. A permitted kitchen remodel exposes these deficiencies to inspection, and Miami-Dade requires HVHZ compliance before sign-off. Our quote includes the strapping, the NOA window or door, and the inspection scheduling. Call (786) 321-4970 for an exact quote - estimates are free.
It can. The signed inspection card and documented photo record from your HVHZ-compliant remodel are evidence of wind-mitigation improvements that many insurers factor into premium calculations or claims processing. We provide this documentation as standard, not as an add-on. The upgrade path is built into our scope from the start. Call (786) 321-4970 for an exact quote - estimates are free.
Miami-Dade’s NOA product requirements and HVHZ wind-load standards add material and labor costs that do not apply across the county line. A Broward bid may use standard windows, skip the strapping, or price for a less stringent inspection process - any of which fails here and forces expensive change orders. Our quote includes the compliance work upfront, documented and inspected. Call (786) 321-4970 for an exact quote - estimates are free.
Sometimes, but we never assume it. Olympia Heights sits on the Miami Rock Ridge, and bedrock routinely lies 12-18 inches below grade. We survey the limestone depth before finalizing the layout and quote, so jackhammering or blasting is priced in if needed, not sprung as a surprise. Summer work may also require dewatering. Call (786) 321-4970 for an exact quote - estimates are free.
