A kitchen remodel in Miami typically costs between $25,000 and $100,000 or more, depending on the size of the kitchen, how much the layout changes, and the level of finishes you choose. A cosmetic refresh sits at the low end; a full custom kitchen with moved walls and premium materials sits at the top.
Here is how those numbers break down, what drives them, and how to get an estimate you can actually trust.
Average kitchen remodel cost in Miami
- Cosmetic refresh ($10,000 to $20,000): new paint, hardware, fixtures, and minor updates while keeping the existing layout.
- Mid-range remodel ($30,000 to $60,000): new cabinets, quartz countertops, updated lighting, flooring, and appliances.
- Full custom kitchen ($70,000 to $120,000+): layout changes, custom cabinetry, premium stone, high-end appliances, and structural or electrical work.
What drives the price
Layout changes. Moving plumbing, gas, or electrical to relocate a sink, range, or island is one of the biggest cost drivers. Cabinetry. Custom cabinets run two to three times the price of semi-custom. Countertops. Quartz and porcelain cost more than laminate but last far longer in a busy Miami kitchen. Appliances and finishes. The jump from standard to professional-grade appliances alone can add tens of thousands.
Where you can save, and where you shouldn’t
Keeping your existing layout is the single best way to control cost. Semi-custom cabinets and quartz that mimics marble deliver a high-end look for less. Where not to cut corners: plumbing, electrical, and waterproofing. In Miami’s humidity, the right materials and installation prevent mold and warping down the line.
How long does a kitchen remodel take?
Most Miami kitchen remodels take 6 to 12 weeks of active construction, plus a few weeks up front for design, ordering, and permitting. Custom cabinetry and imported stone have longer lead times, so order early.
How to get an accurate estimate
Ask every contractor for a detailed, line-item estimate that separates labor, materials, and each phase, never a single lump sum. That transparency lets you compare bids fairly and avoid surprises mid-project.
