KITCHEN REMODEL ESTIMATING.

## Miami Kitchen Remodelers Need Estimates That Match the Market Miami's kitchen remodel market runs hot year-round. Snowbird season, condo flips in Brickell, gut renovations in Coral Gables, and new construction infill in Wynwood all land on your plate at the same time. A slow bid process doesn't just cost you time — it costs you the job. Estimate.Pro gets you from jobsite walkthrough to a sendable estimate in a median of 8 minutes. No credit card required to start. No platform fee on Pro+ plans. --- ## What Makes Kitchen Estimating Different in Miami **Humidity and material selection matter here.** Miami sits in ASHRAE Climate Zone 1A — hot and humid. That affects cabinet material specs (solid wood vs. moisture-resistant MDF), ventilation requirements for range hoods, and waterproofing at tile backsplash transitions. Your estimate needs to reflect those choices, not generic national defaults. **Condo work adds layers.** A significant portion of Miami kitchen remodels happen inside high-rise condos in Brickell, Edgewater, and Miami Beach. That means building association approval packets, freight elevator scheduling costs, dust containment requirements, and often a hard stop on wet-work hours. These aren't line items most estimating tools account for. Estimate.Pro lets you build and save custom line items in your material cost workspace so condo-specific costs appear on every relevant bid automatically. **Permit fees in Miami-Dade are not trivial.** Miami-Dade County Building Department charges permit fees based on the declared value of the project. A $40,000 kitchen remodel carries a building permit fee in the range of $400–$700 plus plan review, not counting trade permits for electrical, plumbing, and mechanical work. Your estimate should include these from day one — not as an afterthought when the client asks why the contract went up. **Florida Building Code, 8th Edition** governs residential kitchen work in Miami. Electrical work in kitchens requires GFCI protection on all countertop receptacles per NEC 210.8. If the scope includes a new range hood with exterior duct penetration, that penetration must meet FBC energy and moisture barrier requirements. Estimate.Pro's scopes flag these code touchpoints so you don't miss them when writing the estimate. --- ## How Estimate.Pro Works for Kitchen Remodelers **Walkthrough → scope in the field.** Use the AR measurement tool (ONNX-assisted on supported devices) to capture cabinet runs, island dimensions, and ceiling heights on-site. Camera and photo measurements are flagged as estimates so your numbers are always transparent. **AI scope-of-work generation.** After your walkthrough, the AI drafts a line-item scope covering demo, rough-in, cabinets, countertops, tile, appliance connections, and finish work. You review and adjust — you don't start from a blank page. **Priced with your numbers.** Your saved material cost workspace holds your Miami supplier pricing — whether you're buying countertops from a local stone fabricator in Doral or cabinets from a supplier on NW 36th Street. Those prices populate your estimate automatically. **Send the bid.** Pro and Elite tiers include Stripe Connect for client payment, invoice exports, and e-signature. Elite workflows support the full payment cycle from deposit to final draw. --- ## Pricing That Fits a Small Shop or a Crew - **Free tier:** No credit card. No time limit.

Kitchen remodel is a first-class workflow — not an afterthought borrowed from a general contractor template. The scope items, code flags, and calculator logic are specific to kitchen work: cabinet linear-foot pricing, countertop square-foot takeoffs, appliance rough-in allowances, and tile layout waste factors. If you're running kitchen remodels in Miami and still building estimates in a spreadsheet or quoting off the top of your head, you're leaving margin on the table and spending hours you don't have.
