Fast, Reliable General Contractor Across Sunset
If you’re planning a remodel in Sunset, you need a General Contractor who already knows how Miami-Dade County builds. Most jobs here, even small ones, get pulled into permit review because Sunset sits inside the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone. That changes what has to happen before walls come down, and it changes what you should expect to pay. Our crews have run permitted remodels all through the neighborhoods off Sunset Drive, from kitchen openings to full additions. We scope the job in writing before any work starts, and we stand behind it for a full year. Call (903) 568-7222 and we’ll walk your project.
Why Bradford Remodeling Is Sunset’s Preferred General Contractor Company
Bradford Remodeling runs on The Garrison Standard, which means one thing up front: the price you’re quoted in writing is the price that holds. No door re-pricing. No verbal scope that drifts. That matters in Sunset, where remodels routinely hit structural and permit snags that less disciplined contractors use to pad invoices. We’ve worked this area long enough to know which 1950s-era ranch homes off SW 72nd Street still have original cast-iron drains and knob-and-tube wiring hiding behind drywall, which is why clients looking for Sunset Home Remodeling trust our field knowledge. Our clients keep hiring us because the job closes the way it was scoped: clean site, passed inspections, signed written guarantee in hand. The 365-Day Done Right Promise covers every completed project – if something fails inside that year, we come back and fix it at no charge.
Styles & brands we work with
Licensed General Contractor in Sunset
A Licensed General Contractor in Sunset is the person who carries the permit, coordinates the trades, and stands between you and the Miami-Dade County building inspector. On a Sunset remodel, that usually starts with a plan review under High-Velocity Hurricane Zone provisions, then proceeds through rough-in inspections, a framing check, and a final sign-off. You need this person on any job where you’re cutting structure, moving plumbing, or changing the building envelope. Bradford Remodeling, led by Curtis Lane, handles that sequence from permit application to final inspection.
Permit and Inspection Coordination
We pull the permits through Miami-Dade’s system and schedule every inspection so your project doesn’t stall waiting on a municipal queue. Sunset homeowners regularly tell us the permit process is the part they underestimated. A kitchen remodel might need plumbing rough-in, electrical, and framing sign-offs before drywall goes up. We track all of it.
Change Orders in Writing
The moment we open a wall and find something the original scope didn’t anticipate, you get a written change order with a dollar figure before we proceed. No verbal “this’ll be extra.” Curtis Lane’s crews are trained to stop, document, and get sign-off. That’s the Garrison Code in practice.
Residential General Contractor in Sunset
A Residential General Contractor in Sunset handles single-family home work – kitchens, baths, additions, and whole-home remodels under one roof. That’s our core. A typical kitchen remodel in Sunset runs $14,000 to $45,000 depending on cabinet grade, countertop choice, and whether you’re moving plumbing. A bathroom remodel usually falls between $9,000 and $28,000. We don’t bid low to win the job and then “discover” costs later; the written scope includes explicit allowances for finishes and fixtures so you know what’s covered before demolition starts.
Kitchen and Bath Remodels
We specify brand-name materials you can trace: KraftMaid or Wellborn cabinetry, Caesarstone or Cambria surfaces, Kohler and Moen fixtures. That’s not about sounding premium. It’s about a documented specification that a manufacturer backs with its own warranty, stacked on top of ours.
Whole Home and Room Additions
A home addition in Sunset runs $45,000 to $130,000, and the spread comes down to foundation work, roof tie-downs, and how much of the existing structure has to be opened. We handle the structural engineer spec, the permit, and the draw schedule – and we never front-load deposits. Your money releases against completed milestones, not promises.
Trusted Brands We Service in Sunset
Bradford Remodeling works with a documented roster of manufacturers, and a few ultra-specific brands from the prefab and panelized sector are worth naming for Sunset homeowners who ask about time-to-permit. Abodu and Cover build pre-engineered ADU frames that can shorten a Sunset accessory dwelling unit timeline meaningfully, because the engineering is already stamped. Dvele and Mighty Buildings take that further with factory-built panels we can assemble on a Sunset lot, though Miami-Dade plan review still applies. We order locally and keep the supply chain close so a missing cabinet door or stone slab doesn’t sit in a freight yard for three weeks. When material lead times hit, we tell you before you sign, not after the slab is poured.
Common General Contractor Problems We See in Sunset Homes
- Verbal scopes that turn into disputes. A contractor quotes a number over the phone, then halfway through demo the allowance for tile “wasn’t in the number.” In Sunset, where a simple kitchen opening can expose 60-year-old wiring, a written scope with explicit allowances is the only thing that protects you.
- Miami-Dade inspection failures on framing and roof tie-downs. Contractors from outside the county routinely underestimate High-Velocity Hurricane Zone requirements. We’ve taken over jobs where framing passed visually but failed on strap placement and nail pattern. That’s a schedule-killer and a re-inspection fee.
- Front-loaded draw schedules. The worst practice in the business: a big deposit up front, then “milestone” payments that don’t match actual physical progress. We structure draws against inspected work only – rough-in passed, framing signed off, drywall hung – so your money and the physical job stay in sync.
- 40-year recertification surprises. Sunset has a lot of homes built in the 1950s and 60s. When a remodel exposes the structure, sometimes the county triggers a broader recertification review. We flag that risk in the initial walkthrough so it’s priced or written as a contingency, not sprung on you mid-job.

Here’s what you should expect to pay in Sunset.
| Project | Typical Sunset Range |
|---|---|
| Kitchen Remodel | $14,000 – $45,000 |
| Bathroom Remodel | $9,000 – $28,000 |
| Home Addition | $45,000 – $130,000 |
What moves the number inside those ranges: whether you’re relocating plumbing or gas, the grade of cabinetry and stone you select, and how much structural work the permit plan requires. A Sunset ranch with original cast-iron drains that must be replaced mid-project is going to land higher than a cosmetic refresh. When we quote, the number includes a written scope of work with those allowances spelled out. No numbers that move at the door. Call (903) 568-7222 and we’ll give you a written price before anything gets torn out.

FAQs About General Contractor in Sunset
Yes, almost always. If you’re touching electrical, plumbing, or any structural wall, Miami-Dade County requires a permit and a series of inspections. In Sunset, which sits inside the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, even modest remodels get pulled into plan review. Bradford Remodeling handles the permit application, schedules every inspection, and closes the job with a final sign-off. Call (903) 568-7222 and we’ll confirm what your specific project triggers.
Three things: the condition of what’s behind the walls, the finish level you select, and whether the permit triggers structural or recertification work. Sunset’s 1950s and 60s housing stock often hides knob-and-tube wiring and cast-iron drains that have to be replaced once exposed. Those are real costs, and we put them in writing as soon as we find them – never as a surprise invoice at the end. Get a written quote by calling (903) 568-7222.
Your payments release against completed, inspected milestones – not against a calendar. We never front-load deposits. You pay for work that has physically occurred and passed inspection: rough-in done, framing signed off, drywall hung. That keeps your money and the physical progress in lockstep, which is exactly how a disciplined remodel should run in Sunset.
A room addition in Sunset typically takes four to seven months from permit application to final inspection. The Miami-Dade plan review and High-Velocity Hurricane Zone engineering requirements add time compared to counties north of us. We give you a calendar at contract signing that includes permit review, material lead times, and inspection queues – and we hold to it. Call (903) 568-7222 for a schedule scoped to your specific addition.
No honest contractor can start a permitted Sunset remodel next week. The permit process alone takes time, and rushing the plan review is how jobs fail inspections and stall mid-construction. What we can do is start the permit paperwork immediately, lock your written scope, and get material orders placed so nothing sits idle. Curtis Lane will walk you through the real calendar on the first call: (903) 568-7222.
