Gold Hands offers kitchen remodeling in Miami, FL — from a cabinet-and-counter refresh to a full gut and rebuild. We do not price by the square foot or from a menu; each project is quoted on its own after you text or WhatsApp photos and measurements, and that estimate is free. We work across ZIP codes 33125, 33126, 33127 and other ZIP codes.

A kitchen remodel in Miami can mean a lot of things. For one family it is new shaker doors and quartz counters over the existing boxes; for another it is a full tear-out down to the slab with new cabinets, a new sink location and recessed lighting. Neighbors in Little Havana, Allapattah, Wynwood and Coral Way often ask us for the middle path: new cabinets and counters in the same footprint, which keeps plumbing where it is and avoids most permit work.

To get a number, photograph the kitchen from the doorway, then each wall straight on, then the inside of a base cabinet so we can see its condition. A tape measure across the longest counter and the ceiling height help a lot. Text it all to (786) 788-8714 or send it through WhatsApp. The estimate is free, and if something is unclear from the photos, we ask before guessing.

Remodeling a kitchen in a mid-century Miami house

Across Little Havana, Allapattah, Flagami and Coral Way, much of the housing is 1940s-to-1970s concrete-block homes, duplexes and small apartment buildings with plaster interiors, next to newer lofts and condos in Wynwood.

In Little Havana, Allapattah, Wynwood and Coral Way, many kitchens have already been remodeled once, often decades ago, right over the original materials. We regularly find two layers of flooring over terrazzo, a dropped ceiling hiding the old plaster, and cabinets shimmed to make up for floors that are not level. Discovering this in planning is better than mid-project, so we ask for photos of the floor edges, the ceiling and the inside of the cabinets.

Terrazzo under the kitchen can be a gift or a complication. Some owners want it restored and run through the house; others prefer tile or plank over it. Plaster walls take anchors and tile differently than drywall, and older windows may set the height of the backsplash. We talk through these choices before the estimate is final, so the price reflects the house you actually have.

Rental kitchens in Miami: durable and quick to turn

Near campuses and in investor-heavy parts of Miami, kitchens take hard use. Cabinet doors get slammed, counters near the stove get scorched and the sink base sees leaks nobody reports. For these properties we suggest sturdy hinges, plywood sink bases, a cabinet floor liner, and a pull-down faucet from a common brand so a replacement part is easy to find locally.

We can work around tenants when needed, though kitchen remodels go faster in vacant units. If the unit is occupied, we agree on access windows with you, you give the tenant notice, and we keep a working sink available as long as the schedule allows. Property managers can coordinate the whole job with us by text or WhatsApp at (786) 788-8714, in English or Spanish.

Five steps from estimate to walkthrough

  1. Estimate from photos: you text or WhatsApp photos of each wall, the sink cabinet and the floor, plus counter lengths and ceiling height. We reply with questions or a free estimate priced for your project.
  2. Written scope and schedule: we list cabinets, counters, backsplash, fixtures and finish work item by item, note what you supply and what we supply, and agree on a start date that follows material arrival.
  3. Permits where required: plumbing moves, new circuits and wall changes are pulled by our general contractor partner with the City of Miami building department, or Miami-Dade County for unincorporated addresses such as Westchester and Tamiami, and inspections are scheduled before walls or cabinets close up.
  4. The work: demolition with dust protection, cabinet install, countertop template by the stone shop, then counter install, backsplash, sink, appliances and lighting, in that order so each step has a finished surface to work on.
  5. Final walkthrough: we open every door and drawer, run the water and disposal, test appliances and lights, touch up caulk and paint, and send you photos of the finished kitchen with any notes.

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 Miami — 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 Miami building department, or Miami-Dade County for unincorporated addresses such as Westchester and Tamiami, quoted separately so you can decide.

What does my condo association need before a kitchen remodel?

Requirements vary, but many associations ask for a written scope, a certificate of insurance, contractor contact details and the planned dates. They often set working hours, reserve the service elevator and specify how debris leaves the building. Many require sound-rated underlayment under new hard flooring. We prepare our documents from the estimate and adjust the plan to the association's rules.

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.

Does hurricane season affect my kitchen project?

It can. Hurricane season runs from June 1 to November 30. Shipping delays can push cabinet and stone deliveries, and if a storm approaches we stop work, secure materials and clear the site. We order early, avoid leaving the kitchen open longer than necessary and tell you right away when a date moves.

Do you speak Spanish?

Yes. Our Spanish-speaking staff can handle the whole project in Spanish, from the first photos you send to the final walkthrough. Many families in Miami prefer to discuss materials and schedule in Spanish, and the written scope can be explained in either language. Just text or WhatsApp (786) 788-8714 and tell us which you prefer.
