Miami-Dade County
From Brickell penthouses to Coral Gables estates, AP Stone delivers full kitchen renovations built around book-matched marble, large-format porcelain, and in-house craftsmanship — not subcontracted shortcuts.
A kitchen remodel in Miami is rarely just a kitchen project. It is a coordination problem that touches plumbing, electrical, gas, HVAC, condo HOA rules, hurricane code, and material lead times that fluctuate with the Port of Miami. The contractor you hire is not measured by the finish quality alone — it is measured by how cleanly the entire process moves from demo to walkthrough. At AP Stone, we have been remodeling kitchens across Miami-Dade County for over 20 years, and we run every project with a single in-house crew, a single project manager, and a single point of accountability.
South Florida's climate, building stock, and HOA culture create constraints that out-of-market remodelers underestimate. Concrete slab substrates demand moisture testing and vapor barrier prep before any flooring or tile setting begins. Condo buildings in Brickell, Sunny Isles, and Aventura enforce strict work-hour windows, freight elevator reservations, and waterproofing requirements for any upper-floor remodel. Miami-Dade hurricane code dictates how cabinetry attaches to walls in coastal exposure zones. And humidity, even indoors, will telegraph through poorly cured stone slabs or improperly sealed marble within months. We design every Miami kitchen remodel around these realities — not despite them.
Our kitchen remodel scope typically covers demolition and disposal, structural and substrate prep, plumbing and gas rough-in coordination, custom or semi-custom cabinetry installation, countertop fabrication and installation (quartz, quartzite, marble, granite, or large-format porcelain slab), backsplash, flooring, lighting, appliance fit-out, and final finishing. We work directly with Miami's top slab yards to hand-select your stone — clients regularly join us for showroom visits in Doral or Hialeah to approve the exact veining pattern for book-matched marble countertops and full-height backsplashes. Every slab is templated digitally, fabricated to spec, and installed with mitered edges or waterfall returns when the design calls for it.
The signature look in Miami's high-end residential market is the seamless, statement-piece kitchen: a single waterfall island in Calacatta Gold, a full-height backsplash in matching book-matched marble, and minimal upper cabinetry to keep the slab the focal point. Executing this look requires sourcing slabs cut from the same block, careful templating to align veining across surfaces, and millimeter-precise installation. We are one of the few crews in Miami-Dade that handles 5x10 foot porcelain slabs with the rigging, leveling, and seam-bonding required to install them without lippage or hairline cracks. This is the work that built our reputation.
Every kitchen remodel in Miami that touches plumbing, electrical, or gas requires a permit from Miami-Dade County or the local municipality. Condo buildings add an architectural review submission, certificate of insurance from every trade entering the building, work-hour restrictions (typically 9 am to 5 pm, weekdays only), and freight elevator reservations made days in advance. We handle all of it. Our project managers have submitted hundreds of condo packages across The Plaza on Brickell, Brickell Flatiron, Apogee, Continuum, Murano Grande, Jade Beach, and dozens more — we know each building's nuances and we resolve them before they become delays.

"Kitchen countertop in book-matched marble. They brought the slabs to the house so I could approve the match before cutting. That kind of attention to detail is rare in Miami remodels."

Coral Gables — Kitchen Remodel
"Full Brickell condo kitchen renovation. AP Stone handled every piece of HOA paperwork, every freight elevator reservation, and the install was done in seven weeks with no neighbor complaints. The waterfall island in Calacatta is exactly what we wanted."
David L.
Brickell — Condo Kitchen Renovation
"We had the entire ground floor done in large-format Calacatta porcelain and the new kitchen integrates seamlessly. Three other contractors quoted us and none of them even mentioned leveling the slab first. AP Stone did it without being asked."

Coral Gables — Kitchen + Open-Plan Floor
Kitchen remodels in Miami typically range from $35,000 for a refresh (countertops, backsplash, flooring, paint) to $150,000+ for a full luxury renovation with custom cabinetry, book-matched marble, and high-end appliances. Most mid-range Miami kitchen remodels land between $55,000 and $95,000. Final cost depends on square footage, slab selection, cabinetry, and condo permit requirements.
A typical Miami kitchen remodel takes 6 to 10 weeks from demo to final walkthrough. Brickell, Coconut Grove, and Aventura condo projects often add 2 to 3 weeks for HOA approvals, building permits, and freight elevator scheduling. We provide a written timeline at contract signing and update you weekly with photos.
Yes. Any kitchen remodel in Miami-Dade that involves plumbing, electrical, or gas changes requires permits from Miami-Dade County or your municipality (City of Miami, Coral Gables, Miami Beach each have their own process). Condo buildings additionally require HOA architectural review. AP Stone manages permitting and HOA paperwork as part of every kitchen remodel.
Quartz, quartzite, and marble are the three most popular choices for Miami kitchens. Quartz (engineered stone) is the most maintenance-free and works for busy households. Quartzite (natural stone) offers the look of marble with much better heat and stain resistance. Marble — especially book-matched Calacatta or Carrara — delivers the highest visual impact and is ideal when paired with proper sealing for clients who appreciate the patina natural stone develops over time.
