Kendall — Miami-Dade
Kendall's sprawling residential communities represent some of the most active renovation markets in Miami-Dade. From post-Homestead rebuilds in The Hammocks to kitchen and bath renovations in the established single-family neighborhoods near Dadeland, we bring the same precision to every Kendall project as we do to the luxury builds in Coconut Grove or Coral Gables.
Kendall's housing stock is diverse — 1970s ranch homes, 1990s planned communities like The Hammocks and The Falls area, and newer construction near the Turnpike. Each era of construction presents different substrate conditions. The original 1970s and 1980s slabs often show significant deflection and unevenness that must be corrected before any large-format tile goes down. Our team uses self-leveling compounds and mud-bed systems to achieve a flat substrate before installation begins — not after the tile starts showing lippage.
Many Kendall homeowners are doing full kitchen and bathroom renovations as part of broader home value improvement projects. The combination of granite removal, backsplash tile, and new porcelain floors can be sequenced efficiently when managed by one contractor. We coordinate all three trades within our crew, eliminating the scheduling friction that comes with managing separate vendors. We also understand that Kendall renovations often happen while families are living in the home, so we stage work and protect living areas carefully throughout the project.

Kendall — Full Home Renovation
"They removed our old 12x12 beige tile and replaced it with 24x48 light gray porcelain in the kitchen and two bathrooms. The substrate leveling they did was what made the difference — perfectly flat."

Kendall — Kitchen & Bath
"Calacatta marble countertops on the kitchen island and master bath vanity. They were the only contractor who showed me both slabs side by side before cutting. The attention to the vein direction at the seam was amazing."

Kendall — Marble Countertops
Kendall is the largest residential submarket in Miami-Dade by household count, with housing stock spanning every era and price point — 1970s single-family ranch homes, 1990s production builder communities, 2010s luxury custom homes, and condos along Kendall Drive. Average home size is 2,500-4,500 sq ft. The submarket is heavily Hispanic and bilingual service is essential.
Kendall covers a large geographic area with varying soil conditions and building stock vintages. Older homes (1970s-1980s) frequently have hidden moisture issues in concrete slabs that require remediation before any flooring or tile installation. Newer construction (post-2000) has consistent code-compliant substrates but often used cost-driven materials that don't hold up to humidity over time.
Our Kendall work spans the spectrum from refresh-level kitchen renovations in 1990s production homes to whole-house remodels in custom luxury homes near Old Cutler Road, including bathroom suites with marble shower walls and complete flooring replacements with engineered hardwood throughout.
Tile installation in Kendall typically runs $7–$15 per square foot for standard ceramic or porcelain and $15–$30 for large-format or natural stone. Kendall renovations also require a Miami-Dade building permit ($150–$300 range) — we prepare the submittal and handle permitting as part of the job.
Yes — single-family homes are most of what we do in Kendall, from 1970s ranch homes and 1990s production builds in The Hammocks and The Falls area to custom luxury homes near Old Cutler Road. We coordinate granite removal, backsplash tile, and new porcelain floors as one scope, and we stage and protect living areas because Kendall renovations often happen while families are living in the home.
Often, yes. Kendall's 1970s and 1980s slab-on-grade homes frequently show deflection, unevenness, and hidden moisture in the concrete slab. We use self-leveling compounds and mud-bed systems to achieve a flat substrate before installation begins — not after the tile starts showing lippage — and remediate moisture issues before any large-format tile goes down.
A typical 200–400 square foot tile installation in Kendall takes 3–5 days, including substrate prep and leveling, waterproofing of wet areas, setting, and grouting. Whole-house remodels run longer, and we share a schedule and protect occupied living areas throughout the project.
