Fast, Reliable Kitchen Remodeling Across The Hammocks
Kitchen remodeling in The Hammocks typically runs $14,000 – $45,000 for a full gut-and-replace, with small galley remodels landing between $9,000 and $20,000. Those numbers come from scoping real kitchens in The Hammocks’ 1980s and 1990s housing stock, where slab-on-grade foundations and cast-iron drain lines shape what a reno actually costs. If you live off SW 104th Street, around Hammocks Boulevard, or in the West End, you’re dealing with the same construction DNA: load-bearing walls, original plumbing, and tight galley footprints. Bradford Remodeling runs crews into The Hammocks daily, and Curtis Lane, who leads the operation, makes sure every job gets a written scope before demo starts. Call (903) 568-7222 for a straight answer on your kitchen.

Styles & brands we work with
Kitchen Remodeling Company in The Hammocks
A Kitchen Remodeling Company in The Hammocks has to understand 1980s slab-on-grade construction before quoting anything. Most kitchens in this area were built as original galley layouts with a load-bearing wall separating the kitchen from the dining room. That wall isn’t decorative. Opening it up means a structural engineer, a Miami-Dade County permit, and a proper header installed before finish work can proceed. We handle that sequence as a matter of routine, not as a mid-project surprise.
Structural and Permit Scope
Any kitchen remodel in The Hammocks that moves a wall, changes electrical circuits, or relocates plumbing requires a permit. We pull permits through Miami-Dade County as part of our scope, and we don’t start demo until the permit is approved. Skipping this step is how homeowners end up with finished drywall opened back up for an inspector who wasn’t scheduled.
Materials and Timeline Reality
A full kitchen remodel in The Hammocks takes eight to twelve weeks from demo to final inspection. Cabinets from KraftMaid or Wellborn have lead times, and countertop templating happens after cabinets are set. We give you a written calendar at contract signing, with every vendor and inspection date mapped out. No vague “we’ll be done soon.”
Small Kitchen Remodel in The Hammocks
A Small Kitchen Remodel in The Hammocks typically runs $9,000 – $20,000, and it’s the most common job we do in this area. These are the original galley kitchens in Hammocks homes built between 1985 and 1995. The footprint is usually compact, the sink and stove are on the same wall, and the counter run is limited. You can get a full refresh without moving walls: new cabinet faces or full cabinet replacement, a new countertop, backsplash, and updated fixtures.
Working Within a Galley Footprint
We often recommend keeping the sink and stove in place in a Hammocks galley kitchen. Moving them triggers slab work, because the drain lines run under the concrete. If the cast-iron drains are in good shape after a camera inspection, keeping fixtures where they are keeps the project at $9,000 – $14,000 instead of pushing toward $20,000.
Refacing vs. Replacing Cabinets
If the cabinet boxes are solid, refacing runs $4,000 – $13,000 and gives you new doors, drawer fronts, and hardware. If the boxes are water-damaged or delaminating from South Florida humidity, replacement is the better call. We’ll tell you which one your cabinets actually need, with photographs to back it up.
Trusted Brands We Service in The Hammocks
We install and stand behind KraftMaid and Wellborn cabinetry, Silestone and Caesarstone surfaces, and Kohler and Moen fixtures. When a Hammocks homeowner wants a specific door style or a quartz colorway, we bring samples to your house and order with the manufacturer’s spec sheet attached to your contract. Modular and panelized builds from Abodu and Dvele inform some of our small-kitchen layout thinking, but our core work is traditional on-site remodeling with documented materials. If a countertop chips or a cabinet hinge fails inside the first year, the 365-Day Done Right Promise covers the repair. Write it in the contract. That’s how we operate.

AfterCommon Kitchen Remodeling Problems We See in The Hammocks Homes
- Load-bearing walls that were never assessed. In original 1980s and 1990s The Hammocks homes, the wall between the kitchen and dining room is structural more often than not. A contractor who starts cutting without a structural assessment will hit the beam, stop work, and hand you a change order for thousands. We bring in the engineer before demo, every time.
- Cast-iron drain lines under the slab. These homes were built with cast-iron waste lines buried in the concrete. After 30-plus years in South Florida soil, they can be corroded. A camera inspection is cheap insurance. Replacing one means cutting the slab, and that’s a five-figure detour if it’s discovered after cabinets are installed.
- Permit mistakes on cosmetic vs. structural work. Cosmetic updates don’t need a permit, but moving a wall or changing electrical does. We’ve seen The Hammocks homeowners get flagged at inspection time because a previous contractor skipped the permit. We pull the right permit the first time, and inspection sign-off is part of our closeout.
- Humidity-driven cabinet failure. South Florida humidity is hard on particleboard cabinet boxes. We spec plywood-box cabinets from KraftMaid and Wellborn for The Hammocks installs because they hold up better than paper-faced board in this climate. It’s a small upgrade that prevents warped doors two summers later.

FAQs About Kitchen Remodeling in The Hammocks
Yes, if you’re moving a wall, changing electrical circuits, relocating plumbing, or altering the structure. Cosmetic work like painting, new cabinet faces, and backsplash tile doesn’t require a permit. Bradford Remodeling pulls the correct Miami-Dade County permit for every The Hammocks job that needs one, and inspection sign-off is part of our written closeout. Call (903) 568-7222 for a specific answer on your scope.
A full kitchen remodel in The Hammocks takes eight to twelve weeks. Small galley remodels with no wall changes run four to six weeks. The variables are permit review time, cabinet lead times from KraftMaid or Wellborn, and countertop templating. We give you a calendar at signing with dates for each trade, so you’re not guessing what happens next.
The two big ones are load-bearing walls that weren’t scoped and cast-iron drain lines that fail inspection. Both are common in The Hammocks’ mid-1980s to 1990s slab-on-grade homes. If a contractor didn’t run a camera on the drains or bring in an engineer before demo, you’ll get a change order. We scope both before the first cut. Our written price reflects what we found, not what we hope to find.
Yes, and we recommend it. Keeping the sink and stove on the existing wall avoids cutting the slab to move drain lines. Most The Hammocks galley kitchens can be fully updated with new cabinets, countertops, backsplash, and fixtures for $9,000 – $16,000 without moving a single fixture. That’s the smart budget play in these homes. Call (903) 568-7222 and we’ll walk your specific layout with you.
A tight punch list covers cabinet alignment, drawer glide function, caulk lines at the backsplash and sink, grout consistency, countertop seam flatness, and whether every Kohler or Moen fixture operates without leaks. We walk the job with you before final payment and fix every item on the list. The 365-Day Done Right Promise extends past that walkthrough for a full year. If something fails inside that window, Bradford comes back at no charge.
