Home Remodeling in Kendall, FL

← Back to Home

Kendall is full of solid 1970s and '80s homes that are ready to live like new — and our SW 47 Terrace gut renovation shows exactly what's possible here.

As one of the largest residential communities in Miami-Dade, Kendall blends single-family homes, townhomes, and HOA communities — many built decades ago with closed-off floor plans. We modernize them with open layouts, refreshed kitchens and baths, and durable flooring, working within HOA architectural guidelines where they apply. Our promise is the same here as anywhere: a detailed written estimate up front, and no surprises later.

Kitchens and Tile in Kendall's 1970s and '80s Houses

The builder kitchens out here share a template. A soffit runs the length of the wall cabinets, the ceiling stops at eight feet, and a wall stands between whoever is cooking and everyone else. That soffit is usually either hollow or carrying a duct that can be rerouted, which is what lets 30-inch uppers become 42-inch and makes the ceiling read taller without touching the roofline. Where the dividing wall is a partition rather than structure, removing it is what finally turns a galley into the room the floor plan was always hiding.

Tile is the other Kendall constant. Slabs poured in that era are rarely flat enough for the large-format porcelain everyone wants now, so the floor gets flattened before a single tile is set. Skipping that step is exactly how you end up with lippage along the edge of a 24x48 plank. Porcelain runs $8 to $16 per square foot installed depending on format and layout, and in the HOA communities of West Kendall it is worth having the finish schedule ready before the first delivery. See our kitchen remodeling and flooring pages for how each is sequenced, and the SW 47 Terrace gut renovation for what it looks like finished.
