Fast, Reliable Kitchen Remodeling Across Ojus
A full kitchen remodel in Ojus typically runs $14,000 – $45,000, with small kitchens starting around $9,000 and cabinet installation between $4,000 and $13,000. Most Ojus jobs take 6 – 10 weeks from demolition to final sign-off, depending on whether county permits and inspections are required.
Bradford Remodeling serves homeowners throughout Ojus and the 33180 area, from the ranch homes near Highland Lakes Boulevard to the newer construction off Biscayne Boulevard. We know the difference between a cosmetic refresh and a full gut-and-rebuild here, and we price both the same way: in writing, before any work begins. If you’re planning a kitchen remodeling project and want a real number instead of a vague range, call (903) 568-7222. Operator Curtis Lane and the crew answer the phone, not a voicemail queue.
Why Bradford Remodeling Is Ojus’s Preferred Kitchen Remodeling Company
Most of the kitchens we see in Ojus were built in the 1960s and 1970s, which means the scope of work changes fast once a wall comes down. We walk the job first, check what’s behind the drywall, and put every line item in writing before a single tool leaves the truck.
Every crew member who walks through your door is background-checked and uniformed. We tell you who is coming before they arrive. The 365-Day Done Right Promise is part of that deal: if anything Bradford installs fails within a year, we return and fix it at no charge. That’s The Garrison Standard, and it applies to every kitchen we touch in Ojus, whether it’s a $9,000 partial remodel or a $45,000 full renovation.
We coordinate scheduling and dispatch from our Miami (South FL) office, so response times to Ojus are short. You won’t get a callback the next day. You’ll get a person on the line, a scheduled walkthrough, and a written price.
Styles & brands we work with
Kitchen Renovation in Ojus
Kitchen Renovation in Ojus means something specific here: most homes in the 33180 corridor were framed before modern open-concept layouts existed. Galley kitchens, tight doorways, and load-bearing walls between the kitchen and the family room are the norm, not the exception. A real renovation in this housing stock is not a cabinet swap. It’s a structural decision about how the kitchen connects to the rest of the house, and it’s governed by Miami-Dade County’s Building Department, not a city building office.
When we renovate a kitchen in Ojus, the process looks like this: we verify the wall conditions, confirm whether any wall you want to open is load-bearing, pull the county permit, and schedule the rough-in inspections for electrical, plumbing, and structural work before finish surfaces go in. If the original cast-iron drains or aluminum wiring are still in place, those get flagged in a written change order before we ask for a signature.
What a Full Renovation Includes
A full kitchen renovation covers the layout, rough-in, and finishes. That means moving or removing walls where feasible, updating the electrical panel and circuits as code requires, positioning new plumbing for sinks and islands, then installing cabinets, countertops, backsplash, tile, and fixtures. In Ojus, a full renovation runs $14,000 – $45,000. That range reflects what is behind the walls, not just what is mounted in front of them.
When a Renovation Is the Right Call
If the layout no longer works, the cabinets are failing, or the plumbing rough-in predates the current code cycle, a renovation is cheaper in the long run than layering new finish work onto old structure. We tell Ojus homeowners this plainly, because we’ve seen what happens when someone cabinets over a failing drain line and calls us a year later.
Cabinet Installation in Ojus
Cabinet Installation in Ojus is often a stand-alone job with a hidden structural element. Many of the older ranches here have wall studs on inconsistent spacing, which complicates hanging tall uppers and pantries. We measure the stud layout before ordering anything, so the installation is level and anchored the first day. Cabinet installation by itself ranges $4,000 – $13,000 depending on cabinet count, ceiling height, and whether we’re replacing boxes or refacing existing frames.
We install KraftMaid and Wellborn cabinetry, and we’re happy to order from the same spec sheets we show you at the quote stage. The cabinet allowance in your written estimate matches the actual order, not a placeholder number that changes at the door.
Refacing as a Lower-Cost Option
If the cabinet boxes are solid but the doors and drawer fronts look tired, refacing is a legitimate path. We replace the fronts, veneers, and hardware, and the result is a clean kitchen without a full teardown. It’s a practical option in Ojus homes where the existing cabinet footprint already works.
What Hangs the Cabinets Matters More Than the Style
The cabinet brand is not what determines whether the job holds up. It’s what the cabinets are screwed into. In Ojus, where block walls are common on exterior kitchen walls and wood framing on interior partitions, we anchor differently depending on substrate. That’s a trade detail, but it’s the difference between cabinets that sag in two years and cabinets that stay true for twenty.
Trusted Brands We Service in Ojus
Bradford Remodeling works with a documented roster of brands so specifications stay traceable. We install KraftMaid and Wellborn cabinetry, Cambria, Silestone, and Caesarstone surfaces, and Kohler and Moen fixtures. We keep common replacement parts and hardware stocked for Ojus customers, which shortens the wait when a hinge fails or a finish needs swapping mid-project. On the structural side, where Sakrete products are called for in slab or concrete work, we use them by name and spec, not whatever is on sale at the lumber yard that week.

AfterCommon Kitchen Remodeling Problems We See in Ojus Homes
- Load-bearing walls that never got flagged. Many 1960s-era ranches in Ojus have a central wall running through the kitchen that is doing structural work. If you open that wall without county review, you’re creating a structural problem and an inspection problem at once. We flag these before demo, not after.
- Original cast-iron drains and undersized vent lines. When we pull cabinets from a 50-year-old Ojus kitchen, what’s behind them often can’t support a modern island sink or a relocated dishwasher. Bringing those drains up to code needs a written change order and a rough-in inspection.
- Aluminum wiring from the original build. Some 33180 homes still have aluminum branch circuits. New code-compliant kitchens require grounding and circuit loads the original wiring was never designed to handle. That work gets documented and permitted, never hidden inside the wall.
- Cabinet allowances written before the order exists. We’ve walked into Ojus kitchens where the contractor quoted a cabinet allowance, then discovered the actual order came in 40% higher. Bradford writes allowances against the actual spec sheet, so the number you sign is the number that holds.

What changes the price on an Ojus kitchen? Three things, mostly. The first is what’s behind the walls: old wiring, cast-iron drains, or a wall that was never built square. The second is the cabinet and surface allowance: KraftMaid cabinets with a Cambria slab top run differently than stock boxes with laminate. The third is the permit scope: if the county requires a structural or electrical upgrade to pass inspection, that’s a written change order, not a surprise at the end.

FAQs About Kitchen Remodeling in Ojus
Yes. Ojus is unincorporated Miami-Dade, so permits for structural, electrical, and plumbing work come through Miami-Dade County’s Building Department, not a city building office. Bradford Remodeling pulls the permit and schedules the inspections, and you get the final sign-off in writing before we close the job. Call (903) 568-7222 to discuss your scope and what the county will require.
Plan for 6 – 10 weeks. Week one is demolition and permit posting. Weeks two through four cover rough-in: framing, electrical, plumbing, and the county inspection on each. Weeks five through eight are finishes: drywall, flooring, cabinets, countertops, backsplash, and fixtures. The final week is final inspection, punch list, and job close. Your written scope includes a calendar, so you know what is happening each week.
The two biggest change-order drivers are aluminum or undersized wiring and original cast-iron drain lines that don’t meet current code once they’re exposed. If we find them, you get a written change order with the scope and cost before we touch it. We don’t hide code work behind a finish material. Call (903) 568-7222 and we’ll walk your kitchen and flag likely rough-in issues before you sign.
Every allowance should be written against an actual product spec, not a round number. That means the cabinet allowance is tied to a KraftMaid or Wellborn order we’ve already priced, and the countertop allowance is tied to a specific Cambria or Caesarstone slab. If a homeowner changes slab or cabinet line mid-project, that’s a signed change order with the new number in writing. Nothing moves at the door.
We install KraftMaid and Wellborn cabinetry, with Cambria, Silestone, and Caesarstone countertops, and Kohler and Moen fixtures. On projects where concrete or slab work comes up, we use Sakrete products by spec. These are documented brands with manufacturer warranties that back Bradford’s own 365-Day Done Right Promise.
