Fast, Reliable Kitchen Remodeling Across Sunset
A full kitchen remodel in Sunset, FL runs $14,000 – $45,000, and most of our jobs here land between $22,000 and $34,000 depending on cabinet grade, countertop material, and whether the work pulls a Miami-Dade NOA product approval. We’re Bradford Remodeling, and we’ve done enough kitchens in Sunset to know the difference between a clean quote and one that surprises you at rough-in. You get a written price before any work starts, a live person on the phone at (903) 568-7222, and a one-year written guarantee on the finished job. No re-pricing at the door. No vague allowances. No excuses.
Why Bradford Remodeling Is Sunset’s Preferred Kitchen Remodeling Company
Sunset homeowners keep telling us the same thing: they’ve been burned by contractors who quote low, then discover expensive problems after demolition. That’s not how we run a job. Curtis Lane leads our crews here, and he’s the one who insists every Sunset kitchen gets scoped honestly before the first tool comes out. The Kitchen Remodeling team writes the full price, the brand list, and the line-item scope into a document you sign before we start.
That’s The Garrison Standard. It’s the framework behind our written pricing, our background-checked and uniformed technicians, and the 365-Day Done Right Promise: if the work fails within a year, we come back and correct it at no charge. Not prorated. Not argued. In writing.
Response time to Sunset is straightforward. Miami-Dade’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone rules don’t slow us down because we already know them. We know which product approvals apply, which inspections Miami-Dade requires at rough-in and final, and which cabinet and countertop specs clear inspection the first time. That local knowledge is what keeps a Sunset kitchen from dragging into month four.
Styles & brands we work with
Cabinet Installation in Sunset
Cabinet Installation in Sunset typically runs $4,000 – $13,000, and the range mostly comes down to whether you’re refacing existing boxes or hanging new KraftMaid or Wellborn cabinets. A Sunset homeowner needs this service when the cabinet faces are worn, the frames are out of square, or a full remodel landed new boxes that have to go in level and tight. We handle the substrate, the scribe work against uneven Sunset walls, and the hardware alignment before the countertop template goes on.
Refacing Versus Full Replacement
Refacing keeps the existing cabinet boxes and replaces doors, drawer fronts, and veneer. It’s the lower end of that $4,000 – $13,000 range and makes sense when the frames are solid. Full replacement is the upper end, and in Sunset homes built before 2000, we often find the old boxes were never installed square to begin with. We correct that during install.
Hurricane-Zone Anchoring
Miami-Dade’s high-wind rules don’t stop at windows and doors. Upper cabinets in a Sunset kitchen get anchored with a connection schedule that holds in a real storm, not just a cosmetic screw into drywall. We spec that on every install, and it’s already in the written price.
Countertop Installation in Sunset
Countertop Installation in Sunset runs $2,000 – $6,500, depending on the material you choose and the linear footage of your run. Sunset homeowners typically pick Cambria or Caesarstone quartz for the durability and because the material spec is documented, so there’s no guesswork on what got installed. The job involves templating, seam placement, sink cutout coordination, and getting the stone to land flat over cabinets that may have been installed before the walls were squared.
Quartz and Granite Specs
Quartz is the most common choice in Sunset because it doesn’t need sealing and it holds up to the humidity we get from March through November. Granite is still a solid option when you want a natural stone, but we tell homeowners up front that it needs a sealer schedule. Both prices land in that $2,000 – $6,500 range, with quartz at the higher end.
The Template Day
Once the cabinets are set, our countertop fabricator comes out to template the exact run. This is where a Sunset homeowner finds out whether the walls are out of plane, because the stone gets cut to the real dimensions, not the plan’s. We brief you on the day so there are no surprises in the slab yard.
Trusted Brands We Service in Sunset
We work with a documented roster of manufacturers, so a Sunset kitchen doesn’t depend on whatever the local supplier happens to have in the yard that week. KraftMaid and Wellborn cabinetry, Cambria and Caesarstone surfaces, Kohler and Moen fixtures, and James Hardie exterior products where the kitchen touches the envelope. We also coordinate with brands like Dvele and Cover when a Sunset homeowner is thinking about a kitchen that integrates with a factory-built addition or a panelized exterior wall system. Parts and replacement hardware for these brands are typically available from our South Florida supply chain within days, not weeks, and we order with the written scope already in hand.

AfterCommon Kitchen Remodeling Problems We See in Sunset Homes
- Subfloors furred up for old vinyl. We pulled a 1990s galley kitchen near Sunset Drive and 87th Avenue down to studs, and the slab had been furred with sleepers to hold 5/8-inch plywood under old vinyl. New tile and stone need a better substrate, so we planned for it before demo, not after the flooring arrived.
- Load-bearing walls that break a plain header. That same Sunset job had a wall between the kitchen and dining room that needed a flush beam instead of a standard header because the homeowner wanted the ceiling line unbroken. We wrote it into a change order before framing, so the price moved once, in writing, and never again.
- Hurricane-zone product approvals missing from the quote. Contractors who don’t work Sunset regularly forget that impact-rated windows and exterior doors need Miami-Dade NOA product approvals. When those get added mid-job, the change order stings. We price them up front if the scope touches the envelope.
- Cabinet allowances set to builder-grade. A quote with an allowance that only covers stock cabinets falls apart the moment you pick KraftMaid or Wellborn. Our Sunset quotes name the exact cabinet line and the exact countertop material before you sign, so the allowance isn’t a trap.
Pricing for Kitchen Remodeling in Sunset, FL
Here’s what a Sunset kitchen actually costs, line by line, in this market:
| Scope | Price Range |
|---|---|
| Full Kitchen Remodel | $14,000 – $45,000 |
| Small Kitchen Remodel | $9,000 – $20,000 |

The biggest cost drivers in Sunset are cabinet grade, countertop material, and whether the scope touches a wall, window, or door that pulls a Miami-Dade NOA product approval. Moving plumbing or electrical raises rough-in cost. Removing a load-bearing wall raises framing cost and triggers engineering. We give you a free written estimate that names all of this before you commit to anything, so the number at contract signing is the number you plan around.

FAQs About Kitchen Remodeling in Sunset
Yes, if you’re touching electrical, plumbing, or anything behind the drywall. Miami-Dade requires permits for electrical changes, plumbing rough-in, and any structural modification. Even a simple cabinet swap doesn’t usually need one, but the moment we pull wire or move a sink, the permit gets pulled, inspected, and closed before final payment. Call (903) 568-7222 and we’ll tell you straight whether your scope needs one.
Miami-Dade’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone rules drive the difference. When a Sunset kitchen project touches the building envelope, impact-rated windows, exterior doors, and certain wall assemblies have to meet Miami-Dade NOA product-approval standards, and those materials cost more than standard inland products. A Broward quote that ignores that will either under-build the envelope or hit you with a change order later. Our Sunset pricing already includes it.
Most full Sunset kitchen remodels run six to ten weeks from demo to final inspection, depending on cabinet lead time, countertop fabrication, and whether the scope pulled structural or envelope work. Cabinets from KraftMaid or Wellborn typically run three to five weeks, and Cambria or Caesarstone templating and fabrication runs two to three weeks after cabinets are set. We give you a written calendar before we start, and we update it if an inspection date moves.
Undiscovered substrate problems and hurricane-zone change orders. In Sunset, we regularly find subfloors that were furred up for old vinyl, walls that aren’t load-bearing where the plan says they are, and exterior wall assemblies that can’t support a standard window swap without upgrading to impact-rated product. We pull permits and price the scope honestly up front, so the overrun doesn’t show up as a surprise invoice at the end. Call (903) 568-7222 for a written estimate that covers the real scope.
If your kitchen remodel includes replacing or enlarging a window or exterior door, yes. Miami-Dade’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone requires impact-rated glazing or an approved shutter system on those openings, and the product has to carry a Miami-Dade NOA approval. If your project doesn’t touch the envelope, this doesn’t apply. We’ll tell you which category your scope falls into before you sign anything.
When you’re ready to get a straight number for your kitchen in Sunset, call (903) 568-7222. Curtis Lane and the Bradford Remodeling crew will walk the scope with you, write the price, and put the 365-Day Done Right Promise in your hand before the first tool comes out.
