Why Bradford Remodeling Is Kendale Lakes’s Preferred General Contractor Company
Most Kendale Lakes homeowners we meet have been burned once already – a contractor who went dark after demo, a bid that doubled at the door, a punch list that never got punched. That experience is exactly what Bradford Remodeling was built to solve. We run on The Garrison Standard, which means every price, every scope line, and every guarantee term gets written down before work starts. You sign one document. That document is the price.
Our Kendale Lakes customers see the same crew from first walkthrough to final walkthrough. Background-checked, uniformed technicians arrive with the project plan in hand. Curtis Lane runs our operation, and he holds every job to the Garrison Code: clean site at close, documented scope, signed written guarantee in your hands before we leave.
Calls get answered by a live person, not a voicemail tree. 24/7. When you call with a question about your remodel on a Saturday, you reach a person who can look at your file and tell you where the job stands.

Hire a General Contractor in Kendale Lakes
Hire a General Contractor in Kendale Lakes when the scope touches structure, plumbing, electrical, or anything behind drywall. That’s nearly every meaningful remodel. A general contractor holds the permit, sequences the trades, orders materials to the week, and carries the liability when a sub doesn’t show. For a Kendale Lakes kitchen, that means rough-in first: moving supply lines if the sink relocates, checking the old branch wiring, confirming the drain slope before the cabinets go in. For a bathroom, it means opening the wall to see what’s actually there before quoting finishes.
Kitchen and Bath Scoping
We price remodels only after we see the substrate. Kendale Lakes homes from the 1970s and 80s often carry aluminum branch wiring and cast-iron drains in the walls. If your scope moves a sink or a shower valve, Miami-Dade code requires inspection sign-off on the rough-in before we close the wall. We build that into the written estimate so the price you sign is the price you pay.
Additions and Structural Work
A room addition in Kendale Lakes runs through Miami-Dade’s product approval system for roof coverings and wind loads, not just a permit counter. We handle that sequence. You get a calendar, a line-item price, and the name of the crew lead before concrete is poured.
General Contractor Services in Kendale Lakes
General Contractor Services in Kendale Lakes cover the full span of residential work: kitchen remodels, bathroom remodels, whole-home renovations, room additions, garage conversions, and exterior hardscaping. We also handle structural repairs that surface during remodels – rotted subfloor under old tile, termite-damaged plates, out-of-level framing. The point of hiring a GC is that one contract covers all of it.
Kitchen Remodels
We install KraftMaid and Wellborn cabinetry, Cambria and Caesarstone countertops, Kohler and Moen fixtures. Cabinet installation in Kendale Lakes runs $4,000 to $13,000 depending on layout and door style. Countertops add $2,000 to $6,500. Backsplash runs $800 to $2,500, and a kitchen island adds $3,000 to $10,000. A full kitchen remodel typically lands between $14,000 and $45,000. These are written ranges, not ballpark guesses.
Bathroom Remodels
A small bathroom remodel in Kendale Lakes starts around $5,000 and tops out near $12,000 for a full gut with tile. Walk-in shower installation runs $4,500 to $12,000. Tub-to-shower conversion runs $3,500 to $10,000. Shower replacement runs $3,000 to $8,500. Vanity installation runs $800 to $3,000. All of these assume the home’s plumbing is code-ready. In Kendale Lakes, it often isn’t, which is exactly why we open the wall during scoping, not after demo.

AfterCommon General Contractor Problems We See in Kendale Lakes Homes
- Aluminum branch wiring from the 1970s. Most Kendale Lakes homes between Kendall Drive and Bird Road still carry it. Any remodel that touches outlets or switches requires inspection and often re-wiring before drywall closes. Budget for it in the scope, not as a surprise.
- Cast-iron drain lines with heavy scale. These pipes look fine until you open the wall. Scale buildup narrows the interior diameter, and once you move a fixture, the new rough-in won’t pass inspection on the old drain. Re-piping with PVC is common.
- Soft subfloors under old tile. South Florida humidity works on plywood for decades. We open the floor on most Kendale Lakes bathroom remodels and find rot around the toilet flange and tub. That’s a structural fix, not a cosmetic one.
- Verbal allowances that don’t match delivered products. A “standard KraftMaid cabinet” isn’t specific. Door style, wood species, and finish all change the price and the product. Bradford writes every line item so the homeowner signs off on exactly what gets ordered.
Construction work in Kendale Lakes, FL runs into Miami-Dade’s wind-load requirements, which means exterior changes like impact windows or roof replacement need product approvals and inspections that a homeowner won’t navigate alone. Our crews handle that sequence as part of the scope, not as an afterthought.

FAQs About General Contractor in Kendale Lakes
Yes, if you move plumbing or electrical rough-in, Miami-Dade County requires a permit and inspection sign-off before walls close. A cosmetic-only update with no moved fixtures may not need one, but Kendale Lakes homes often hide old cast-iron drains and aluminum wiring that turn a cosmetic job into a permitted one the moment a wall opens. We pull permits for every scope that requires them, and the inspection schedule is part of the written estimate. Call (903) 568-7222 to scope your bathroom before you spend anything.
A general contractor holds the permit, sequences the trades, orders materials, and carries the liability for the finished work. On a Kendale Lakes kitchen, that means checking the 1970s wiring before cabinet install, confirming drain slope before the sink goes in, coordinating the countertop template to the cabinet set, and getting the county inspection signed before appliances are connected. You get one contract, one schedule, and one person responsible when something goes wrong. Call (903) 568-7222 for a free written estimate.
Because most 1970s and 80s homes in Kendale Lakes still carry aluminum branch wiring and cast-iron drains. Contractors who bid without opening a wall end up writing change orders for 20 to 40 percent after drywall is already down. Bradford scopes the wall cavity during estimating, so the written price includes the re-pipe and re-wire when they’re needed. Some changes are real – a homeowner picks a pricier slab or asks for a structural change mid-job – and those get a written change order before work proceeds. Call (903) 568-7222 and we’ll scope your walls before we quote.
A small bathroom remodel in Kendale Lakes runs about two to three weeks once demo starts. A full kitchen remodel runs four to eight weeks depending on cabinet lead times and whether the county inspection schedule aligns. Kendale Lakes homes with heavy cast-iron scale and aluminum wiring tend to run longer because the rough-in takes more hours. We give you a calendar with milestones at the estimate, not a vague “soon.” Call (903) 568-7222 for a timeline based on your actual scope.
We install KraftMaid and Wellborn cabinetry, Cambria and Caesarstone countertops, and Kohler and Moen fixtures. Every selection gets a written line item with the door style, wood species, and finish named. That means the product you sign for is the product we order. If you’re exploring factory-built options from Abodu, Cover, or Dvele for an ADU or garage conversion, we serve as the local GC for site work. Call (903) 568-7222 to see samples and get exact pricing.
