How we handle cabinets and countertops from start to finish

We’ve refined this process across dozens of kitchens in The Crossings and nearby Country Walk. Here’s exactly what happens, and when you need to make decisions.

Stage 1: Site measure and layout lock (Day 1)

We arrive with a laser measure and check every wall for plumb, every corner for square, and every cabinet run for level. In The Crossings, we regularly find 1980s-era kitchens where the original builder-grade cabinets were shimmed into place on slab floors that settled slightly over forty years. We note those irregularities now because they affect how new boxes fit. You’ll decide today: keep the existing footprint or shift appliances. Moving a sink or range adds plumbing and electrical scope, and in Miami-Dade that triggers permit requirements we’ll discuss in the next section.

Stage 2: Material selection and order (Days 2-14)

This is where the calendar stretches. KraftMaid and Wellborn cabinets both run 4-6 weeks from order to delivery in South Florida, and Cambria quartz adds another 10-14 days for templating and fabrication after cabinets are installed. We bring door samples to your home so you see colors under your actual lighting, not a showroom’s LEDs. You’ll choose: cabinet construction (stock, semi-custom, or custom), door profile (shaker, raised panel, or slab), finish (painted, stained, or thermofoil), and countertop material. We don’t push one tier. A painted MDF shaker with laminate tops suits some budgets; a solid maple inset with Cambria waterfall edging suits others.

Stage 3: Demolition and prep (Days 15-16)

We strip existing cabinets, disconnect plumbing and electric, and expose walls. This is when we discover what the 1980s builders left behind. We’ve found ungrounded outlets, galvanized supply lines, and drywall patched with cardboard behind cabinets in The Crossings homes. If we hit something that affects safety or code compliance, we stop and show you before proceeding. No surprise charges. You’ll sign off on any additional scope before we continue.

Stage 4: Cabinet installation (Days 17-19)

We start with upper cabinets, then lowers, checking each unit with a 4-foot level before fastening to studs. In concrete block construction, which is nearly universal in The Crossings, we use Tapcon anchors or toggle bolts where studs don’t align. We install filler strips, toe kicks, and hardware. You’ll do a walkthrough with our lead carpenter to confirm door alignment, drawer glide smoothness, and hardware placement before we call the countertop templater.

Stage 5: Countertop templating, fabrication, and install (Days 20-24)

The fabricator creates a precise template from your installed cabinets, then cuts slabs at their shop. Cambria and other quartz products require CNC cutting and polishing; laminate gets field-cut on site. We install, seal seams, reconnect plumbing, and test everything. Final cleanup happens on day 24 or 25. You’re cooking by the following weekend.

The material and configuration choices that shape your kitchen

Every decision below affects price, durability, and daily use. We present all three tiers so you match the spec to how you actually cook and live.

• Cabinet construction grade: Stock cabinets come in set sizes with limited finishes, fastest to order, and work well for straightforward layouts. Semi-custom from KraftMaid or Wellborn lets you adjust depths, add roll-out trays, and match odd wall lengths, which matters in The Crossings kitchens where builders sometimes left non-standard gaps beside refrigerators. Full custom costs roughly 40-60% more and makes sense only for complex angles or built-in furniture looks.
• Door style and finish: Painted shaker doors dominate current preferences and hide fingerprints better than high-gloss slab. Thermofoil wraps are budget-friendly but can delaminate near ovens or dishwashers where heat concentrates. Stained wood shows grain variation, which some homeowners love and others find busy.
• Countertop material: Laminate runs $25-$40 per square foot installed and has improved dramatically in pattern realism, though it still chips at edges and can’t take a hot pot directly. Engineered quartz from Cambria, Silestone, or Caesarstone hits $75-$125 per square foot and resists staining, scratching, and heat better than natural stone. Granite remains popular but requires annual sealing; marble etches with citrus and wine. We keep full slabs in local supplier yards so you select the actual veining, not a sample.
• Edge profile and backsplash integration: A standard eased edge costs nothing extra. A waterfall edge where the counter drops to the floor on an island adds material and labor. Backsplash height determines whether we terminate cabinets with a light rail or run stone up the wall, which changes both material order and electrical outlet placement.
• Hardware and interior fittings: Soft-close hinges and drawer glides are standard in our semi-custom and custom lines. We also price out pull-out spice racks, tray dividers, and under-cabinet lighting if your electrical panel has capacity. Many The Crossings homes from the 1980s have 100-amp service; adding multiple circuits for lighting and appliances may require a panel upgrade, which we coordinate if needed.

What cabinets and countertops cost in The Crossings, FL

For a typical The Crossings kitchen, expect $6,000-$19,500 all-in for cabinets and countertops. Here’s how that range breaks and what pushes you toward either end.

Five factors that move your number:

Kitchen size and layout complexity. A galley kitchen with 12 linear feet of cabinets sits at the low end. An L-shaped or U-shaped layout with a large island doubles box count and countertop square footage.

Existing condition and demolition scope. Removing cabinets glued to drywall adds repair work. Finding water damage behind a sink cabinet, common in older The Crossings homes with original plumbing, requires replacing subfloor or wallboard before new cabinets go in.

Plumbing and electrical relocation. Keeping your sink, range, and refrigerator in place avoids permit-triggering trades work. Moving any of them requires licensed plumber and electrician coordination, plus Miami-Dade permit fees and inspections.

Material grade and brand tier. Stock laminate-top cabinets with basic hardware start near $6,000. Wellborn semi-custom with Cambria quartz, a farmhouse sink, and soft-close throughout pushes toward $18,000-$19,500.

Permit and inspection requirements. In Miami-Dade, any electrical or plumbing modification requires permitting. We handle submittals and scheduling, but county fees and the time for two inspections (rough and final) add cost and a few days to the calendar.

Our written estimates include demolition, disposal, cabinet and countertop supply and install, plumbing reconnect, hardware, and cleanup. They do not include appliances, flooring replacement, or structural modifications unless specifically quoted as an add-on. Call (844) 665-0162 for an exact figure on your kitchen.

What The Crossings homes specifically do to this job

The Crossings presents a particular remodeling context that shapes nearly every cabinets and countertops project we take on here. Nearly every house in this community is a concrete block and stucco structure built between 1978 and 1995, which means kitchens that have gone thirty-plus years without meaningful updates. Original cabinets are often particle board with thermofoil doors that have yellowed or delaminated. Countertops are typically 4-inch backsplash laminate with integrated sinks that crack at the drain flange.

Because The Crossings sits in Miami-Dade’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, any project that touches electrical or plumbing triggers the county’s strict NOA product-approval requirements. We can’t install just any cabinet or countertop; fasteners, adhesives, and any electrical components must carry Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance certification. This adds a paperwork layer that remodelers in Broward or Palm Beach counties don’t face, and it’s why we maintain relationships with suppliers who stock HVHZ-approved hardware and materials specifically.

The slab-on-grade construction common in The Crossings also means floor levelness issues. We’ve measured kitchens in this ZIP where the slab drops 3/4 inch across a ten-foot run. That doesn’t stop installation, but it requires scribing cabinet bases or adding shim strips that a less experienced crew might miss, leading to cracked countertops later. We check this on day one and build the correction into our bid.

Finally, many The Crossings properties carry HOA covenants that require architectural review for exterior-facing window changes or additions. While cabinets and countertops are interior work, if your project expands to include a full kitchen remodeling in The Crossings with new windows or a bumped-out wall, we’ll coordinate that submission so you don’t face delays.
