Kendall’s housing stock runs on discipline. Most homes here went up between the 1970s and 1990s as concrete block and stucco, built during the post-Andrew boom. That changes how we scope openings, anchor cabinets, and evaluate load-bearing walls. Our crews know the difference between a partition wall and a block wall carrying roof trusses off SW 137th Avenue, and we price accordingly from the first walkthrough.
Why Bradford Remodeling Is Kendall’s Preferred General Contractor Company
We built our Kendall reputation on showing up when we say we will, with a written price and a signed scope before a single tool comes out. Our team operates under The Garrison Standard, which means every estimate is line-itemed, every permit is pulled through Miami-Dade County, and every job closes with a documented punch list cleared in front of the homeowner.
Homeowners in Kendall’s neighborhoods – from the blocks around Kendall Drive east of Dadeland to the subdivisions west of the Turnpike near Three Lakes – tell us the same thing: they were burned by a contractor who vanished mid-project or re-priced at the door. We answer that with a live person on the phone 24/7, background-checked uniformed technicians on every job, and a written guarantee signed at completion. Curtis Lane, who leads our Kendall operations, signs off on every scope before it reaches your hands.
Our General Contractor team works with name-brand materials – KraftMaid and Wellborn cabinetry, Cambria and Silestone surfaces, Kohler fixtures, James Hardie siding – so specifications are traceable and quality is not left to guesswork.
Styles & brands we work with
General Contractor Services in Kendall
General Contractor Services in Kendall means managing the entire remodel or addition from permit to final inspection – a single point of accountability for structural work, cabinet installation, countertop fabrication, plumbing rough-in, electrical, and finish carpentry. On a typical Kendall kitchen remodel, that runs $14,000 to $45,000. A full bathroom remodel lands between $9,000 and $28,000.
Kitchen and Bath Remodeling
A Kendall kitchen usually involves opening block walls, resetting electrical for island outlets, and ordering cabinets sized to the actual room. We pull the Miami-Dade permit, coordinate the rough-in inspection, and install with a written price locked before demolition starts. Bathrooms are similar: waterproofing matters here because Kendall’s humidity will find any shortcut in the substrate, and we will not let that happen.
Home Additions and Structural Work
Adding square footage to a CBS home in Kendall is a different job than adding to a wood-framed house. Block walls carry loads differently, and Miami-Dade’s wind-load requirements for additions and impact-rated openings apply from the first framing inspection. We scope additions from $45,000 to $130,000, with the engineering review included in the written estimate.

Construction Company in Kendall
As a full Construction Company serving Kendall, we handle whole-home remodels through our Home Remodeling in Kendall, plus room additions, garage conversions, and exterior work like paver patios and roof replacement. A paver patio in Kendall runs $3,500 to $11,000, and a roof replacement runs $8,000 to $20,000. Impact window installation, which Kendall homeowners frequently bundle with a remodel, runs $8,000 to $25,000 depending on opening count and product line.
Exterior and Site Work
Kendall’s flat lots and high water table punish sequencing mistakes. Pavers installed before final grade and drainage are set will settle, crack, and need rework. We sequence site work correctly the first time: grade first, drainage second, pavers last. That is how you avoid paying for the same driveway twice.
Garage Conversions and ADUs
A garage conversion in Kendall runs $30,000 to $80,000, and an ADU runs $90,000 to $220,000. Both require structural review because slab-on-grade foundations here were not always engineered for living space. We verify the slab, confirm the tie-down requirements with the county, and price the job with that reality on the table from day one.
Trusted Brands We Service in Kendall
Bradford Remodeling installs KraftMaid cabinets, Cambria and Silestone countertops, Kohler and Moen fixtures, GAF roofing, and James Hardie exterior products on Kendall jobs. We stock fast-turnaround parts locally so a cabinet hinge or a countertop seam issue does not sit for weeks. For homeowners evaluating prefabricated options, we have worked with Abodu, Cover, and Dvele on ADU and addition projects where factory-built panels cut on-site time. That is part of working with a General Contractor in Kendall who knows the local building stock and does not outsource the hard decisions.

AfterCommon General Contractor Problems We See in Kendall Homes
- Unpermitted block-wall alterations near Kendall Drive. Homeowners cut openings without a Miami-Dade permit, then get flagged at resale when the county inspector catches the unpermitted structural work. We pull permits before cutting and pass inspection at rough-in.
- Cabinet and countertop allowances written too low. The estimate says $4,000 for cabinets, but the homeowner selects Cambria and Wellborn mid-project, and the change order jumps past $13,000. We write realistic allowance ranges in the original contract.
- Sequencing mistakes on paver patios and driveways. Kendall’s high water table means poor drainage under pavers causes settling within two years. We set grade and drainage before the first paver goes down.
- Structural surprises on 1970s-1990s CBS homes. Block walls hide load-bearing conditions you cannot see from the surface. We evaluate load paths before quoting, not after demolition starts.

FAQs About General Contractor in Kendall
Yes, for any work that touches structural walls, electrical, plumbing, or changes the footprint. Miami-Dade County requires permits for block-wall alterations, and unpermitted work will surface at resale when the inspector checks against county records. We pull permits on every Kendall project where the scope requires one, and inspection sign-off is part of the contract, not an add-on.
The three big drivers are load-bearing wall conditions, material upgrades beyond the written allowances, and hidden conditions behind block walls like outdated electrical or water-damaged framing. We write realistic allowances and line-item pricing so a change order, if one comes, is a small adjustment instead of a surprise. Call (903) 568-7222 to get a written price for your specific project.
A kitchen remodel in Kendall typically runs 6 to 10 weeks. A bathroom runs 3 to 6 weeks. A home addition runs 4 to 8 months depending on Miami-Dade permit review timelines and inspection scheduling. We give you a calendar with milestones before work starts, and we update it in writing if a county inspection shifts the schedule.
A draw schedule is the payment calendar: you pay in increments tied to completed milestones like rough-in inspection, drywall, and final walkthrough. On a big Kendall project, the draw schedule protects you from paying ahead of work that has not been completed or inspected. We write the draw schedule into the contract before the first tool comes out.
We verify the wall before cutting. On a 1988 CBS home off SW 137th Avenue near Kendall Drive, our crew opened a wall between a closed-off galley kitchen and dining room and found a load-bearing block wall carrying the roof trusses – verified before cutting, not after. We pulled permits through Miami-Dade County, added a beam and header on the revised drawings, passed inspection sign-off at rough-in, and finished with KraftMaid cabinets, a Silestone island, and a punch list cleared in two walkthroughs. That is The Garrison Code in practice: verify, document, and never leave a structural surprise for the homeowner.
