Gold Hands offers kitchen remodeling in Sunny Isles Beach, 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 33160.

People in Sunny Isles Beach 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.

Remodeling a high-rise kitchen in Sunny Isles Beach

Sunny Isles Beach is known for the wall of oceanfront condo towers along Collins Avenue, with older mid-rise condos and some houses and townhomes on the mainland side near Golden Shores.

Owners in Collins Avenue and Golden Shores towers often ask for an open kitchen, which in a concrete building means checking which walls are structural or carry plumbing and electrical before anything comes down. That review, the permit with the City of Sunny Isles Beach building department and the association's approval all happen before demolition. Our general contractor partner handles the permitted part; we handle the cabinets, counters, tile and finish work. Planning it this way keeps the project from stalling halfway.

Plan the schedule around the building, too. Associations commonly limit noisy work to weekday hours, and some pause renovations during their busy season or for building maintenance. Material lead times for cabinets and stone run in parallel with the approval, and we confirm the order once the board signs off. If you live elsewhere during the work, we coordinate keys and access with the front desk.

Coastal kitchens in Sunny Isles Beach: salt air and humidity

Kitchens near the water in Sunny Isles Beach take a beating that inland kitchens do not. Salt air pits cheap faucets and cabinet hardware, humidity swells particleboard, and a kitchen that sits closed during a long absence can grow mildew behind the sink. Material choices matter more here: solid wood or plywood cabinet boxes, stainless or solid brass hardware, and quartz or sealed stone counters hold up better.

Ventilation helps as much as materials. A range hood that moves air outside, rather than recirculating it, reduces moisture and grease on cabinets, though some buildings do not allow venting out. Caulk lines at the sink and backsplash should be mildew-resistant silicone, and the sink base benefits from a liner. If you are in a flood zone, we can raise base cabinets and appliances off the floor where the design allows.

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 Sunny Isles 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

A kitchen refresh that keeps the cabinets, such as paint, hardware, a backsplash and a new faucet, is usually a matter of days. A replacement with new cabinets and countertops takes longer, mostly because the stone shop can only template after the cabinets are installed and then needs time to fabricate. During that gap you have cabinets but no counters, so we plan a temporary sink setup where possible.

Kitchen Remodeling in Sunny Isles 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.

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.

How do you estimate a kitchen remodel without coming to the house?

You send photos of each wall, the inside of the sink cabinet and the floor, plus counter lengths and ceiling height, by text or WhatsApp to (786) 788-8714. That is enough to price most kitchens. The estimate is free and priced per project. If something can only be judged in person, we tell you and can arrange a paid site visit.

Do I need a permit to remodel my kitchen?

Moving the sink, adding circuits, changing gas lines or removing walls requires a building permit, and that work is pulled by our general contractor partner with the City of Sunny Isles Beach building department. Swapping cabinets, counters and backsplash in the same layout is mostly finish work, and we confirm whether your municipality asks for anything on it. You know which parts need a permit before you approve the estimate.

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.
