Fast, Reliable Home Remodeling Across Miami
Home remodeling in Miami runs $16,520 – $53,100 for a full kitchen and $10,620 – $33,040 for a bathroom, but those numbers mean nothing until someone checks what’s behind your walls. We’ve pulled enough 1950s cast-iron and undersized wiring out of Coral Gables and Westchester homes to know the real price lives in the rough-in, not the finish. Bradford Remodeling serves Miami with written pricing before any work starts, background-checked crews, and a 365-Day Done Right Promise in your hand at close. Call (903) 568-7222 for a free estimate.
Why Bradford Remodeling Is Miami’s Preferred Home Remodeling Company
Miami homeowners deal with a specific strain of contractor: slick on the phone, vague on paper, gone when the change order hits. We run it differently. Every scope is written. Every allowance is priced. Every crew member who walks through your door is background-checked and uniformed, and a live person answers our phone 24/7. The Garrison Standard is our operating rule, not a slogan. Curtis Lane leads the operation with one directive from 2004 onward: put the price and the guarantee in writing before a single tool comes out.
We work the neighborhoods Miami actually lives in. Brickell high-rises with condo board review. Coconut Grove homes built before current hurricane code. Kendall ranches with slab-on-grade plumbing. Each one has different permit paths and different cost drivers, and we’ve handled enough of them to scope accurately the first time, not after the walls open. Homeowners in Miami don’t need another surprise. They need a number that holds.
Styles & brands we work with
Home Renovation in Miami
Home Renovation in Miami means taking a house built for 1960 and bringing its plumbing, wiring, and layout up to 2026 code, and it rarely stops at cosmetics. A full Home Remodeling project in Miami typically starts with a demolition and rough-in phase that exposes what the original builder buried: cast-iron drain lines, cloth-wrapped wiring, and slab conditions that never show up on a visual walkthrough. Kitchen remodels run $16,520 – $53,100. Bathrooms run $10,620 – $33,040. The number lands where it lands because of what’s behind the drywall, not the cabinet style.
Scoping the Work Before It Starts
We start every Miami renovation with a written scope that names materials, brands, and line-item costs. If the plan calls for KraftMaid cabinets and a Cambria countertop, that’s in the contract at the agreed price. When the crew opens a wall and finds something the previous remodeler buried, we stop and document it. You get a revised written price before that work proceeds.
Permits and the Rough-In Reality
Miami-Dade and most local municipalities require a Notice of Commencement posted before rough-in inspections on residential remodels. Because the county sits in the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, structural or window changes trigger stricter product approvals than most of Florida. We pull the permits, schedule the inspections, and sign off each phase before moving to the next.
Home Remodeling Companies in Miami
Home Remodeling Companies in Miami fall into two groups: those that bid low and make it up in change orders, and those that price the job honestly up front. Bradford Remodeling is the second kind. Our Home Remodeling in Miami work always starts with a written price and a defined scope. No allowances that balloon at selection time. No vague “cabinets included” language. A kitchen in Coconut Grove may hit $53,100 because the wiring needs a full re-feed and the drain needs re-pitching. The same kitchen in a newer Doral home could land at $22,000. Miami’s housing stock varies enough that an honest contractor prices per house, not per brochure.
What Separates a Written Scope from a Guess
Most remodelers in Miami price off square footage and hope the hidden stuff is fine. We price off a documented walkthrough, a review of the existing panel and drain access, and the specific selections you actually want. That’s why our written price holds. If we find a condition during demo that changes the scope, you get a written change order with a line-item cost and a signature line. No verbal “we’ll settle it at the end.”
Close-Out: What Squared Away Looks Like
At job close, our crew leaves the site clean, the scope signed off, and the 365-Day Done Right Promise in your hand. Every completed project carries a full-year written guarantee. If the work fails inside that window, we return and correct it at no charge. That’s the Garrison Standard, and it’s not contingent on weather, mood, or how busy we are.
Trusted Brands We Service in Miami
We install and service a documented roster of name-brand materials across Miami, including KraftMaid and Wellborn cabinetry, Cambria and Caesarstone surfaces, Kohler and Moen fixtures, GAF and James Hardie exterior products, Therma-Tru doors, and Belgard hardscaping. For modern prefab additions, we’ve also worked with Abodu, Cover, and Dvele systems. Using documented brands means every spec is traceable and every manufacturer warranty backs our own. If a Miami homeowner asks why the number is what it is, we can point to the exact material spec that produced it.

AfterCommon Home Remodeling Problems We See in Miami Homes
- 1940s – 1960s cast-iron drains. Homes in Westchester, Shenandoah, and the Roads were built with cast-iron waste lines that corrode from the inside. A bathroom remodel that starts as a tile swap often becomes a drain re-pitch once the floor opens.
- Undersized electrical panels. Older Miami homes frequently run 60- or 100-amp panels that can’t support new kitchen load requirements. A remodel that adds a double oven or induction range may require a panel upgrade before rough-in inspection.
- Slab foundation surprises. Much of Miami’s mid-century housing stock is slab-on-grade. Moving a drain or adding a kitchen island often means cutting concrete, which changes both the price and the schedule the moment the saw comes out.
- Unpermitted prior work. We find bathrooms and additions that were never permitted. When that surfaces during a resale inspection or insurance underwriting, it can stall the sale. We document it and pull the retro permit so the work gets legal.

FAQs About Home Remodeling in Miami
Yes, any bathroom remodel in Miami that moves plumbing, changes the drain, or alters the electrical requires a permit, and most municipalities in Miami-Dade also require a Notice of Commencement posted before rough-in inspection. Cosmetic work like paint or a vanity swap may not trigger a permit, but once you touch the drain or the wiring, you’re in permitted territory. We pull the permits and schedule the inspections so the work is legal at close. Call (903) 568-7222 for an exact quote, estimates are free.
Because the original quote was written without checking what’s behind the walls, and Miami’s 1940s – 1960s housing stock almost always has a hidden condition: cast-iron drains, undersized wiring, or slab conditions that inflate the real cost once the wall opens. Bradford writes the scope after a documented walkthrough, and if a hidden condition changes the job, you get a written change order with a line-item cost before the work proceeds. Call (903) 568-7222 for a written price, not a ballpark.
A full kitchen remodel in Miami typically runs 6 to 10 weeks, and a full bathroom runs 4 to 7 weeks, depending on permit review times and what the demo reveals. Rough-in inspections and Hurricane Zone product approvals can add days that a remodeler in Orlando wouldn’t face, and older slab homes take longer when drains need re-pitching. We write the schedule into the contract and update it in writing if conditions change. Call (903) 568-7222 for a firm timeline on your project.
A Notice of Commencement is a recorded form that tells Miami-Dade and any lien holders that work has started on your property, and it’s required before rough-in inspections on most residential remodels. If it’s not posted and recorded, inspections can’t proceed, and a permit can stall. We file the NOC as part of our permit package on every Miami remodel that requires one. Call (903) 568-7222 for a free estimate and we’ll explain exactly which forms your address triggers.
Yes, we give you a written price before any work starts, based on a documented walkthrough and the specific selections you make. When we opened the 1962 Westchester ranch and found the original cast-iron drain under the slab, we documented it and gave the homeowner a written change order for the re-pitch before any concrete was cut. That’s the difference between a quote that holds and a quote that pretends. Call (903) 568-7222 for your free estimate.
