Fast, Reliable Home Remodeling Across Kendall
Home remodeling in Kendall runs $14,000 to $45,000 for a full kitchen and bath scope, and most jobs take six to twelve weeks depending on what’s behind the walls. Kendall’s housing stock is dominated by 1970s to 1990s concrete-block homes west of US-1, which means remodelers here routinely open walls and find no wood studs to nail into. Cabinets, vanities, and TV mounts have to be anchored to block or furring strips. That changes the rough-in and framing line in almost every Kendall scope we write. Bradford Remodeling works with that reality every week. If you’re planning a remodel anywhere from West Kendall to the Falls, call (903) 568-7222 for a written price before any work starts.
Why Bradford Remodeling Is Kendall’s Preferred Home Remodeling Company
Kendall homeowners call us because we put the price in writing before a single tool comes out. Every project follows The Garrison Standard: background-checked, uniformed technicians, a documented scope, and a signed 365-Day Done Right Promise at close. That promise means if the work fails inside a full year, we come back and correct it at no charge. Our crews know Kendall’s block homes, its HOA communities like Country Walk and Kendall Breeze, and the permit flow through Miami-Dade County. We schedule Kendall work with a live person answering the phone 24/7. No voicemail queue. No callback list. Curtis Lane runs our Home Remodeling operation, and he holds every Kendall job to the same written standard, from the first demo day to the final walkthrough.
Styles & brands we work with
Full Home Remodel in Kendall
A full home remodel in Kendall usually means gutting a kitchen, reworking baths, and often removing a wall or two in a block home where the layout has not changed since the Reagan administration. The work starts with a structural review, because many of those interior walls west of US-1 are concrete block, not wood stud walls. When a Kendall homeowner wants a full remodel, we open the walls, see what is actually load-bearing, then write the scope around what we find. A full home remodel in a Kendall block home typically runs $14,000 to $45,000 depending on whether we are moving plumbing, adding a steel header, or replacing all the finishes down to the substrate.
Block-Home Structural Work
Before any finish material gets ordered, we check what the walls are made of. In Kendall block homes, hanging upper cabinets or rebuilding a shower wall without masonry anchors or furring strips blows the rough-in budget. We anchor to block or fur it out properly, and if a wall has to come out, we bring in a structural engineer before a hammer swings.
Full Scope Finishes
Once the framing and rough-in are squared away, we install the surfaces Kendall homeowners actually want: KraftMaid or Wellborn cabinetry, Cambria or Caesarstone counters, Kohler or Moen fixtures. Every brand is documented in the scope, so there is no substitution guesswork at installation.
Home Remodeling Contractor in Kendall
A home remodeling contractor in Kendall has to know block construction, Miami-Dade permitting, and what a 1980s floor plan actually looks like behind the drywall. Bradford Remodeling is that contractor. We scope the job around what Kendall homes really contain: concrete block, furring strips, 1980s plumbing stacks, and electrical panels that often need a service upgrade before a kitchen remodel can pass inspection. A typical kitchen remodel in Kendall runs $14,000 to $45,000, while a small kitchen remodel runs $9,000 to $20,000. A bathroom remodel runs $9,000 to $28,000. Those are the honest ranges for this market.
Permit and Inspection Handling
We pull the permits and schedule the inspections. Too many Kendall remodels fail at final sign-off because the rough-in was closed before the inspector saw it. We do not drywall over un-inspected electrical or plumbing. The inspector sees the rough-in open, then we close it.
Scope Documentation
Every Kendall job gets a written scope with line-item pricing before work starts. No numbers move at the door. If a change is needed, we write it as a change order and the homeowner signs it. That is The Garrison Standard, and it is not negotiable.
Trusted Brands We Service in Kendall
We install and service a documented roster of name-brand materials for Kendall homes. That includes KraftMaid and Wellborn cabinetry, Cambria and Caesarstone surfaces, Kohler and Moen fixtures, GAF roofing, James Hardie siding, and Therma-Tru doors. We also work with prefab and panelized shell providers like Abodu and Cover when a Kendall homeowner wants a faster-framed addition or ADU. Because we order from these brands directly for Kendall customers, we can verify specs, track lead times, and keep the job moving instead of waiting on a supply house that does not know a block home from a wood-frame one.

AfterCommon Home Remodeling Problems We See in Kendall Homes
- Assuming an interior wall is wood-framed. In Kendall block homes, it usually is not. Hanging upper cabinets or rebuilding a shower without masonry anchors or furring strips adds thousands to the rough-in cost once the problem is discovered.
- Under-scoping the permit. A kitchen or bath remodel in Kendall requires electrical and plumbing rough-in inspections before drywall. If the rough-in was closed without inspection, the project stalls at sign-off and the owner pays to open walls again.
- Treating an 1980s layout as a cosmetic swap. Many Kendall floor plans have a plumbing stack or load-bearing wall exactly where the open concept is supposed to go. The real scope is structural, not surface-level.
- Builder-grade finishes failing early. Kendall humidity and hard water eat cheap cabinet boxes and faucet finishes faster than manufacturers expect. We spec materials rated for South Florida conditions, not generic builder packs.
Pricing for Home Remodeling in Kendall, FL
Here is what a remodel actually costs in Kendall, based on the block-home stock we work in every week:
| Scope | Typical Range in Kendall |
|---|---|
| Full home remodel (kitchen + bath scope, block home) | $14,000 – $45,000 |
| Kitchen remodel | $14,000 – $45,000 |
| Small kitchen remodel | $9,000 – $20,000 |
| Bathroom remodel | $9,000 – $28,000 |
| Cabinet installation (KraftMaid/Wellborn) | $4,000 – $13,000 |
| Countertop installation (Cambria/Silestone/Caesarstone) | $2,000 – $6,500 |
What moves the price inside those ranges? Structural work on block walls, electrical panel upgrades, moving a plumbing stack, and the finish level of the materials. A $9,000 small kitchen is a cosmetic refresh with builder-grade boxes. A $45,000 kitchen in a Kendall block home involves structural changes, a steel header, and Cambria or Caesarstone surfaces. Every estimate is free, written, and line-itemed. Call (903) 568-7222 to get yours.

FAQs About Home Remodeling in Kendall
Six to ten weeks is realistic for a kitchen remodel in a Kendall block home, assuming no unplanned structural work. If we find a load-bearing block wall where an island is supposed to go, which happens often west of US-1, add two to three weeks for the engineer, the steel header, and the reinspection. Call (903) 568-7222 for a schedule tied to your specific scope.
Yes. Any bathroom remodel in Kendall that touches plumbing, electrical, or structural framing requires a Miami-Dade permit and rough-in inspections before drywall closes. Bradford Remodeling pulls the permit, schedules the inspections, and does not close walls until the inspector signs off. Call (903) 568-7222 to start.
The spread comes from three things: whether you are moving the plumbing, whether the shower walls need furring or masonry anchoring, and the finish level of tile, vanity, and fixtures. A $9,000 bath is a tub-to-shower conversion with a basic vanity. A $28,000 bath in a Kendall block home means moving the stack, a full Schluter waterproofing system, and a Kohler or Moen fixture package. Get a written line-item estimate at (903) 568-7222.
Often yes, but not always. Many 1970s-to-1990s Kendall block homes have load-bearing walls running through the middle of the floor plan, right where homeowners want an open kitchen. We review the plans before demolition, and if the wall is load-bearing, we write the steel header into the scope before any cutting happens.
Every completed Kendall project gets a punch list walkthrough: paint touch-ups, cabinet alignment, grout sealant, fixture operation, and the signed 365-Day Done Right Promise in your hand. We do not ask for final payment until that list is cleared. That is The Garrison Standard, and it applies to every job we finish in Kendall.
