Gold Hands offers kitchen remodeling in Hialeah, FL — cabinets, countertops, backsplash, sink, appliances, lighting and floors, planned as one job instead of four separate trades. You send photos and measurements by phone or WhatsApp, and we send back a free estimate priced for your project. Homes across Miami-Dade County are covered, with Spanish-speaking staff on the phone.
People in Hialeah rarely call us to say they want a remodel in the abstract. They call because a cabinet door fell off its hinge, the dishwasher leaked into the sink base, or they are getting ready to sell and the kitchen photographs badly. That trigger shapes the job: a repair-driven remodel often focuses on the sink wall, while a pre-sale update leans on paint, hardware, counters and lighting.
Tell us what started it. Then send photos of the problem area, the whole room, and the floor where it meets the cabinets, plus rough measurements of the counter runs. Use text or WhatsApp at (786) 788-8714, in English or Spanish. We come back with a free estimate priced for this project, and we flag early anything that would need a permit through our general contractor partner.

Older Hialeah homes: kitchens with history
Central Hialeah is densely built 1950s-to-1970s housing — single-family homes, duplexes and small apartment buildings on compact lots — while Miami Lakes to the north is a planned community of homes, villas and townhomes.
Kitchens in older Hialeah houses were built for a different way of cooking: smaller rooms, a window over the sink, plaster walls and sometimes a separate breakfast nook. Owners often want to open the kitchen to the dining room or absorb the nook. Whether that works depends on what is inside the wall, and in houses from the 1920s through the 1960s the answer is not always on any drawing.
Before demolition we look for galvanized or cast-iron drain and supply lines, older wiring and terrazzo under the existing floor. Cast-iron drains under the slab may be due for replacement once the kitchen is open, and that decision is better made before new cabinets go in. Any plumbing, electrical or wall changes are permitted work handled by our general contractor partner with the City of Hialeah building department (or the Town of Miami Lakes for addresses there).

Suburban kitchen remodels in Hialeah
Suburban kitchens in Hialeah often have tile floors that run through the whole first floor. That raises a practical question: if new cabinets have a different footprint, the floor beneath the old ones may be bare slab or a mismatched tile. We check what is under the cabinets before quoting, so you can decide between keeping the footprint, patching with spare tile, or replacing the kitchen floor.
Ceiling height and soffits shape the cabinet plan as well. In many block homes the soffit hides ductwork or a plumbing vent, so removing it is not always an option. When it is, taller uppers add real storage. When it is not, we can trim the soffit to line up with the new cabinets so it looks intentional. Either way, we confirm what is inside before promising a look.
Five steps from estimate to walkthrough
- Start with a message to (786) 788-8714. Photos from each corner of the kitchen and a few tape measurements are enough for a free estimate, priced per project rather than from a menu.
- Once you approve, you get a written scope and timeline: which cabinets and counters, who orders what, which days the kitchen is out of service, and when the stone shop comes to template.
- If the design moves plumbing, adds circuits or opens a wall, that part is permitted work pulled by our general contractor partner with the City of Hialeah building department (or the Town of Miami Lakes for addresses there). We tell you which items need it before you sign.
- Work proceeds in a set order: protect and demolish, install cabinets, template and install countertops, set the sink and backsplash, connect appliances and lighting, then paint and trim. You get updates by text in English or Spanish.
- We walk the finished kitchen with you, fix anything on the punch list, clean up and send a photo report. If something does not work right later, you call us and we come back to look.
Kitchen remodel timing: short jobs and long ones
Material lead times drive more of the schedule than the labor does. Semi-custom cabinets, special-order tile and certain stone colors can take a while to arrive, while in-stock cabinets and common tile come faster. We order only after you approve the scope, and we do not start demolition until the critical materials are confirmed, so you are not left without a kitchen while waiting on a delivery.

Kitchen Remodeling in Hialeah — questions we get asked
What if you find old plumbing or wiring behind my kitchen walls?
In older homes it is common to find galvanized supply lines, cast-iron drains or wiring that does not support modern appliances. When the cabinets come out, we show you what we found with photos and explain the options before anything changes. Replacing those lines is permitted work handled by our general contractor partner with the City of Hialeah building department (or the Town of Miami Lakes for addresses there), quoted separately so you can decide.
What is not included in a kitchen remodel?
We do not fabricate stone countertops; the stone shop does that and we coordinate. Permitted plumbing, electrical, gas and structural work goes through our general contractor partner rather than our own crew. We also do not repair appliances or take on roof or exterior work. Anything outside the written scope is discussed and quoted before it is done, never added silently.
How do you deal with humidity and mold in a kitchen?
Most kitchen moisture problems start at the sink and the range. We use mildew-resistant silicone at the sink and backsplash, line the sink base, check supply lines and shutoffs before the new cabinet goes in, and recommend a hood that moves air outside where the building allows it. If we find mold behind the old cabinets, we show you before closing anything up.
How long will I be without a kitchen?
That depends on the scope. A refresh that keeps the cabinets interrupts the kitchen only briefly. A replacement leaves you without counters between cabinet install and countertop install, since the stone shop templates on the finished cabinets. Permitted changes add inspection waits. We give you the sequence in writing and, where possible, set up a temporary sink so you can manage during the gap.
Who buys the cabinets, counters and appliances?
Either way works. We can order cabinets and coordinate the stone shop for you, or you can buy items yourself and we install them. If you buy, send us the specs or model numbers before you order so we can check fit, clearances and hookups. Appliances you already own can be reinstalled if they fit the new layout. The estimate shows who supplies what.
