Fast, Reliable General Contractor Across Kendall West
Most Kendall West homeowners call us after a bad experience: a contractor who priced the job off square footage, opened a CBS block wall, and walked when the surprises showed up. We run it differently. Bradford Remodeling gives you a written price before any tool leaves the truck, handles Miami-Dade County permitting and inspections on your behalf, and stands behind the finished work with the 365-Day Done Right Promise. If you’re planning a kitchen remodel, bathroom remodel, room addition, or whole-home project in Kendall West, call (903) 568-7222 and we’ll get your scope and price squared away first.
Why Bradford Remodeling Is Kendall West’s Preferred General Contractor Company
Kendall West runs on unincorporated Miami-Dade rules, not a city building office. That means your plans go through the county’s Building Department (RER), inspections run on the county’s calendar, and a contractor who doesn’t know the difference will burn your schedule. We know the difference because we work it every week. Bradford Remodeling, led by Curtis Lane, is part of the Garrison Partners family, established in 2004, and held to The Garrison Standard: a written price before work starts, every time, no exceptions.
Homeowners in Kendall West keep our number because the crew shows up when we say we will. Background-checked, uniformed technicians arrive with a documented scope of work in hand. No vague verbal agreement, no draw schedule built on a handshake. You get a signed written guarantee at close, and a live person answers the phone 24/7. Not a voicemail tree. A person.
Styles & brands we work with
Licensed General Contractor in Kendall West
A Licensed General Contractor in Kendall West is the licensed party of record who pulls permits, schedules Miami-Dade County inspections, coordinates the trades, and carries the job from rough-in to final sign-off. Bradford Remodeling runs this role by the book. We handle the electrical, plumbing, structural, and finish work under one written contract, and we carry the scope so you aren’t juggling three subs and a county inspector on your own. For a kitchen remodel in Kendall West, that scope typically runs $14,000 – $45,000 depending on cabinet grade, countertop selection, and what’s behind the walls.
Permit and Inspection Coordination
Miami-Dade County requires permits for structural, electrical, plumbing, and most interior alterations in Kendall West. We file the plans, pull the permits, and walk the inspections with the inspector on site. Unpermitted work has a way of resurfacing at resale or during an insurance review. We don’t leave that to chance.
Trade Sequencing and Rough-In
Every Kendall West remodel gets a written trade sequence before we start: demo, framing, rough-in, inspection, close-in, finish. The electrical and plumbing rough-in goes on the scope as its own line item, with its own allowance. No ambiguous language. When the county inspector signs off, the punch list walk is next.
Residential General Contractor in Kendall West
A Residential General Contractor in Kendall West handles the same licensed scope for single-family homes: additions, garage conversions, impact window installation, whole-home remodels. The difference is what Kendall West’s housing stock actually is. Most homes here are 1970s – 1990s concrete-block subdivision builds with CBS walls and cast-in-place tie-beam roofs. That’s not wood framing. When we open a wall, there’s no stud cavity to run wire or set blocking. We fur out the block, add plywood sheathing, and scope the cabinet blocking and tile substrate as separate line items.
Whole-Home and Addition Work
A home addition in Kendall West runs $45,000 – $130,000, and that range moves on foundation work, tie-beam integration, and whether the county flags the roof tie-in for a structural review. A garage conversion runs $30,000 – $80,000. We carry the structural engineering, the permit package, and the inspection calendar in one written contract so the number doesn’t move at the door.
Impact Window and Door Installation
Impact window installation in Kendall West runs $8,000 – $25,000. The price shifts on the number of openings, the brand, and whether the county requires a product approval report. We spec documented brands with manufacturer warranties, and we pull the permit. The 365-Day Done Right Promise covers the finish and the fit. If something doesn’t hold inside that year, we come back and correct it at no charge.
Trusted Brands We Service in Kendall West
We don’t guess on materials. Bradford Remodeling specs a documented roster of name-brand products: KraftMaid and Wellborn cabinetry, Cambria and Silestone surfaces, Kohler and Moen fixtures, GAF and James Hardie exterior products, Therma-Tru doors, and Belgard hardscaping. For Kendall West homeowners interested in factory-built approaches for an ADU or addition, we can coordinate with Abodu, Cover, and Dvele on design and permitting. Every specification is traceable, and every manufacturer warranty backs our own. That’s The Garrison Standard in plain terms.

AfterCommon General Contractor Problems We See in Kendall West Homes
- CBS block walls with no stud cavity. A contractor who bids the job like wood framing will underprice the furring, sheathing, and blocking. We scope those as separate line items on every Kendall West remodel, so the number is honest from the start.
- Unpermitted work from a previous owner. We regularly find old electrical or plumbing alterations that were never signed off. When we open a wall and find it, we flag it in the scope, pull the correction permit, and bring it up to code before anything else moves.
- Cast-in-place tie-beam roofs complicate additions. Tying a new roof into an existing CBS tie beam requires a structural review the county won’t wave through. We carry the engineering and the inspection on the calendar, not as a surprise later.
- Pricing windows without product approvals. Miami-Dade requires product approval reports for impact-rated openings. A cheap bid often skips the approval, then stalls at inspection. We spec approved brands and file the paperwork with the permit package.
