Styles & brands we work with
Cabinet Installation in Tamiami
Cabinet installation in Tamiami is one of the most common requests we handle, whether it’s part of a full Kitchen Remodeling project or a standalone refresh of an aging kitchen. The job typically runs $4,720 – $15,340, depending on whether you’re installing stock boxes, semi-custom KraftMaid or Wellborn cabinetry, or full custom. In Tamiami’s older concrete-block homes, we often build out shims and scribe fills to correct for walls that haven’t been square since the Nixon administration.
What We Check Before We Hang a Cabinet
We don’t just level the rails and start screwing. On a Tamiami job, we check the stud pattern behind the drywall, look for signs of moisture around the sink base, and confirm the wall can carry the load. If the original framing is soft or the drywall is blown out, we address it before the boxes go up. That kind of checking prevents a callback and a drooping cabinet six months later.
Refacing vs. Full Replacement
Some Tamiami homeowners want the look of new cabinets without replacing the boxes. Refacing is a real option when the frames are sound and the layout works. If the layout is wrong or the boxes are swollen from years of South Florida humidity, full replacement is the better money. We’ll tell you which one makes sense for your kitchen, and we’ll put the number in writing either way.
Countertop Installation in Tamiami
Countertop installation in Tamiami ranges from $2,360 to $7,670, and the final number depends on the material, the square footage, and the amount of seam work at the sink and corners. Cambria and Caesarstone quartz are the most specified surfaces on Tamiami jobs we run, though granite and butcher block still have their place in mid-century and ranch-style kitchens along the Trail corridor.
Quartz and Granite: The Local Split
Quartz holds up better against the hard water and humidity we get in Tamiami, and it doesn’t require the annual sealing that granite does. Granite can be less expensive up front, but if you cook heavily, the maintenance adds up. We document the brand and the manufacturer’s spec in the scope of work so you know exactly what’s going in.
Seam Placement and Slab Matching
On a long run, seams are unavoidable, but placement is a choice. We measure and template every countertop after the cabinets are set, not before, and we lay out the seams so they fall in the least visible spots. When we install a stone island top, we also confirm the base can carry the weight. Concrete-block homes in Tamiami can take the load; some of the lighter-framed newer builds need blocking added first.
Trusted Brands We Service in Tamiami
We install and service a documented roster of name-brand materials, and we keep the spec sheets on file for Tamiami customers. That means KraftMaid and Wellborn cabinetry, Cambria and Caesarstone surfaces, Kohler and Moen fixtures, and other manufacturers with real warranties that back our own 365-Day Done Right Promise. We don’t substitute no-name materials to shave a bid, and we don’t leave you guessing what was actually installed. If you’re considering a prefab or modular approach from names like Cover or Dvele in the broader remodel scope, we can discuss how those systems integrate with a traditional kitchen build-out in Tamiami. Our relationship with these brands means warranty claims, if they ever come up, are handled directly.

AfterCommon Kitchen Remodeling Problems We See in Tamiami Homes
- Galvanized supply lines behind the walls: Many 1960s – ’80s concrete-block homes in Tamiami still have original galvanized plumbing. Once we open the wall for a new sink or island, we often find corrosion or reduced flow, and that has to be addressed before finish work goes in.
- Undersized electrical panels: Older Tamiami kitchens weren’t wired for a double oven, an induction cooktop, and a microwave on the same circuit. If the existing panel can’t carry the new load, a subpanel or service upgrade becomes part of the scope, and we price it before we start.
- Humidity-related cabinet swelling: South Florida moisture takes a toll on particleboard and even some plywood assemblies. Cabinet doors that don’t close square or boxes that have absorbed moisture near the dishwasher need replacement, not adjustment.
- Cosmetic remodels that skipped permits: We see this all over the Tamiami area. A previous homeowner “updated” the kitchen without pulling permits, and the rough-in work was never inspected. When we come in for a legitimate remodel, the permit history matters, and we pull everything the county requires.

What moves the number? Cabinet and countertop allowances are the big ones, but so is hidden rough-in work. A Tamiami kitchen with galvanized pipes and a 60-amp panel is going to cost more to remodel than one with copper and a 200-amp service. That’s not a surprise fee; we price it in the written scope before we start. Call (903) 568-7222 for a free estimate on your specific kitchen.

FAQs About Kitchen Remodeling in Tamiami
Yes, most kitchen remodels in Tamiami require a permit, especially if you’re moving plumbing, changing electrical, or altering load-bearing walls. Miami-Dade County enforces permit requirements that apply to Tamiami, and a cosmetic-only assumption will catch up with you at inspection. We pull every required permit and schedule the inspections as part of the scope. Call (903) 568-7222 if you want to know what applies to your specific kitchen, and we’ll quote it in writing.
A full kitchen remodel in Tamiami usually runs four to eight weeks from the first day of demolition to final inspection sign-off. Permit approval time runs in parallel with material ordering, so the schedule doesn’t stall if we plan it right. Smaller jobs like cabinet installation or countertop replacement can finish in one to two weeks. We’ll give you a calendar with the written estimate, and we hold to it.
In Tamiami specifically, the biggest cost drivers are the age of the home’s rough-in and the materials you choose. Cabinets and countertops are the largest line items, but a 1970s concrete-block house with galvanized plumbing and an old electrical panel will need work behind the walls that a newer build wouldn’t. That’s why our Tamiami quotes always account for what’s inside the walls, not just the finishes on top of them. Call (903) 568-7222 for a line-item quote on your project.
Yes, and we do this regularly in Tamiami. Cabinet installation runs $4,720 – $15,340, and countertop installation runs $2,360 – $7,670, and both can be completed as standalone projects. If your existing layout works and the plumbing and electrical are sound, there’s no reason to tear out the whole kitchen. We’ll scope only what you need, and the written price will reflect that.
If we open the walls and find galvanized supply lines, undersized electrical, or water damage, we document it, show you the issue, and bring you a written change order with the cost to correct it. That’s the Garrison Standard: no surprise work, no verbal ‘trust me’ changes. Our crew took on a kitchen in the Tamiami area near SW 8th Street where we found exactly that: galvanized lines and a panel that couldn’t carry the new appliance load. We pulled the permits, ran a new rough-in, and kept every step documented. The punch list at the end was short because inspection sign-off had already caught the issues early. Call (903) 568-7222 with any other questions; a live person answers, and estimates are free.
