Gold Hands offers kitchen remodeling in Miami Beach, FL: cabinet installation or refacing, countertop coordination and install, backsplash tile, sink and faucet, appliances, lighting, paint and flooring. Every kitchen is priced per project. Send photos and rough measurements by phone or WhatsApp and we return a free estimate; any work that needs a permit in Miami-Dade County goes through our general contractor partner.

Kitchen remodeling in Miami Beach usually falls into one of three sizes. A refresh changes surfaces: paint or reface cabinets, new hardware, a backsplash, maybe a faucet. A replacement swaps cabinets and counters in the same layout. A full remodel moves things: the sink to an island, a wall opened, new circuits for appliances. Knowing which one you want before you shop for materials saves money and a lot of back-and-forth.

If you are not sure which size fits, send photos anyway and tell us your priorities and what you want to keep. A text or WhatsApp to (786) 788-8714 with wall photos, counter lengths and ceiling height is enough to start. We answer in English or Spanish with a free estimate priced for your project, and we explain which parts would need our general contractor partner and a permit.

Kitchen remodeling in a Miami Beach condo tower

Miami Beach holds one of the largest concentrations of 1920s-to-1940s Art Deco and Mediterranean low-rise buildings in the country, mid-century MiMo blocks in North Beach and oceanfront towers along Collins Avenue.

Remodeling a high-rise kitchen in Miami Beach 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.

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.

Remodeling a kitchen in a mid-century Miami Beach house

In South Beach, Mid-Beach, North Beach and Normandy Isles, 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.

From photos to a finished kitchen in Miami Beach

  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 Beach building department, 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

Permits and approvals add time before any work starts. If the plan moves plumbing, adds circuits or opens a wall, our general contractor partner submits to the building department and the project waits on review and inspections. Condo and HOA approvals run on their own calendars, often tied to board meetings. A kitchen that keeps its layout skips most of this and starts sooner.

Kitchen Remodeling in Miami Beach — questions we get asked

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.

Can I move the sink in a high-rise kitchen in Miami Beach?

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.

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.

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.

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.
