Gold Hands offers kitchen remodeling in Key Biscayne, FL — a practical upgrade of the room you use most: cabinets, counters, backsplash, fixtures and floors. Start by texting photos and rough measurements to (786) 788-8714 or sending them on WhatsApp; the estimate is free and the price is set per project. We serve 33149 and the surrounding area.

People in Key Biscayne 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.

Coastal kitchens in Key Biscayne: salt air and humidity

Key Biscayne is an island village reached by the Rickenbacker Causeway: oceanfront and bayfront condo towers plus a core of single-family homes, all of it living with salt air.

In the island's interior streets and the oceanfront towers and other coastal parts of Key Biscayne, owners often find that a kitchen remodeled not long ago with indoor-grade materials did not last. Rust on hinges, delaminating cabinet edges and pitted faucets are typical. A second remodel is a good time to choose hardware and fixtures made for humid, salty air, even if they cost more up front. Replacing them twice ends up worse.

Coastal properties also need scheduling around storms. Hurricane season runs from June 1 to November 30, and when a storm threatens, we stop, secure materials and clear the site. Stone and cabinet deliveries can shift when shipping is disrupted. We build that possibility into the plan, keep your water and power usable at the end of each day and tell you early if dates move.

Scope options for your kitchen

Here is what a typical kitchen project covers, from the cabinet boxes to the last outlet cover and caulk line.

Kitchen remodeling in a Key Biscayne condo tower

Remodeling a high-rise kitchen in Key Biscayne is mostly a logistics problem. Countertop slabs have to fit in the service elevator, which can decide whether a long island top is one piece or two with a seam. Cabinets arrive boxed and are carried up in the reserved window. We plan the delivery order with the stone shop and the building so nothing waits in a hallway the association wants clear.

Inside the unit, we protect the path from the elevator to the kitchen, the floors and the neighbors' patience. Range hoods in towers often recirculate rather than vent outside, so we check the existing setup before you pick a hood. If the association requires sound-rated underlayment under a new hard floor, we include it in the scope. Many buildings also want the manager to inspect the finished work before the work order closes.

From photos to a finished kitchen in Key Biscayne

  1. Free estimate: send wall photos, the inside of the sink base and rough measurements by text or WhatsApp. If a detail is unclear, we ask for another photo instead of guessing.
  2. Scope in writing: each item is listed separately, from demolition to the last outlet cover, with the material choices, the sequence and a start date tied to when cabinets and stone are ready.
  3. Permits: any plumbing, electrical or structural change is pulled by our general contractor partner with the Village of Key Biscayne building department. Condo or HOA approval, if needed, runs alongside so both are ready before demolition.
  4. Installation: cabinets are leveled and secured, the stone shop templates and fabricates the counters we coordinate, then tile, plumbing fixtures, appliances and lights go in, with the rest of the house protected throughout.
  5. Closeout: a walkthrough together, a punch list finished before we leave, debris hauled away and a set of photos documenting the completed kitchen for your records.

What sets the timeline for your kitchen

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 Key Biscayne — questions we get asked

Can I move the sink in a high-rise kitchen in Key Biscayne?

Sometimes, but it is often the hardest change in a tower. Drains run through the concrete slab to shared risers, and moving them may require coring, engineering review, association approval and a permit. Many owners keep the sink where it is and change everything around it. We look at your floor plan and tell you what is realistic before you design around a new sink location.

Which kitchen materials hold up near the ocean?

Plywood cabinet boxes, stainless or solid brass hardware, quartz or sealed granite counters and porcelain backsplash tile tolerate humidity and salt air better than particleboard, plated hardware and porous stone. Fixtures rated for outdoor or marine use resist pitting. We point out where a cheaper option is likely to corrode or swell near the coast, so you can choose with that in mind.

Can I stay in the house during a kitchen remodel?

Most people do. We put up dust barriers at the kitchen opening, protect floors along the work path and clean up at the end of each day. You will be without the kitchen for part of the project, so setting up a coffee maker, microwave and small fridge in another room helps. We tell you in advance which days water or power will be off.

Do you make the countertops yourselves?

No. Quartz, granite and other stone tops are fabricated by a stone shop. We coordinate with them: cabinets go in first, the shop templates the tops on the installed cabinets, then cuts and delivers them, and we schedule the install, the sink cutout and the backsplash around those dates. You can pick your slab at the shop or choose from samples.

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.
