Gold Hands offers kitchen remodeling in Miami Shores, 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 Miami Shores 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.

What turns up behind old kitchen walls

The 33138 corridor along Biscayne Boulevard is mostly older single-family homes — 1920s-to-1940s Mediterranean and Art Deco houses in Morningside, Belle Meade and Shorecrest, and the established blocks of Miami Shores.

Kitchens in older Miami Shores 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 Village of Miami Shores building department (or the City of Miami for Upper East Side addresses).

What a Miami Shores kitchen remodel can include

Most kitchens in Miami Shores combine several of these items; the estimate lists each one so you can see exactly what you are paying for.

Coastal kitchens in Miami Shores: salt air and humidity

Choosing materials for a coastal kitchen in Miami Shores comes down to what tolerates moisture. Plywood boxes resist swelling better than particleboard; quartz and properly sealed granite resist staining; porcelain backsplash tile is easier to keep clean than natural stone. Stainless fixtures rated for outdoor or marine use cost more but last. We talk through these trade-offs before the estimate, not after the order.

Older coastal condos and houses can also have corroded supply valves and drain lines under the sink. When the old cabinet comes out, we check the shutoffs and connections and recommend replacing any that are seized or weeping before the new cabinet goes in. Small items like that are easier to handle while the kitchen is open, and they keep a slow leak from ruining new cabinets.

From photos to a finished kitchen in Miami Shores

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. If the design moves plumbing, adds circuits or opens a wall, that part is permitted work pulled by our general contractor partner with the Village of Miami Shores building department (or the City of Miami for Upper East Side addresses). We tell you which items need it before you sign.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.

What sets the timeline for your kitchen

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 Shores — 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 Village of Miami Shores building department (or the City of Miami for Upper East Side addresses), quoted separately so you can decide.

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.

Who handles cleanup and debris?

We do. Old cabinets, counters, tile and packaging are hauled away as part of the job, and the work area is swept and vacuumed at the end of each day. Before the final walkthrough we clean dust from cabinets inside and out, wipe down counters and appliances and remove floor protection. Where a condo has debris rules, we follow them.

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.

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.
