AfterConstruction in Homestead, FL
Kitchen remodeling in Homestead typically runs $14,000 to $45,000 for a full job, with most projects landing between $20,000 and $35,000 once you account for Miami-Dade’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone requirements on structural work. Call (470) 298-9650 for a written price before anyone picks up a tool. Every quote from Rowan Construction Group is flat, scoped, and delivered in writing, so you know the number before work starts.
Homestead’s housing stock is mostly post-1992 CBS construction, but the Redland corridor still holds older mobile homes and pre-Andrew masonry structures that never got full tie-beam upgrades. That split means two very different remodels on the same job board: one on a modern block house, one on a structure with questionable roof-to-wall connections. We price both honestly, and we document what we find.
Why Homestead Homes Are Different
Homestead was ground zero for Hurricane Andrew’s 1992 Category 5 landfall. The storm essentially leveled the city, and the rebuild happened under Miami-Dade’s newly overhauled High-Velocity Hurricane Zone codes, the strictest wind-load construction standards in the United States. Every project here, from a new roof to a home addition, must comply with Miami-Dade’s product-approval system, the NOA. A window or roofing product stamped “Florida Building Code Approved” can still fail a Homestead inspection if it lacks a separate Miami-Dade County product approval. That single distinction routinely causes costly job-site rejections for out-of-area crews.
The water table across Homestead sits as little as 2 to 4 feet below grade on the flat limestone shelf of South Miami-Dade. Conventional below-grade footings are impractical; slab-on-grade and stem-wall detailing are the standard here. The city also sits at the tip of the Florida peninsula, exposed to both Atlantic and Gulf storm tracks. We spec for that dual threat on every structural job.
Our Main Homestead Services
Two trades account for most of the calls we field from Homestead homeowners: fencing and driveway work. Each has its own dedicated page with full pricing, local conditions, and the documentation you receive.
Fence Installation in Homestead
Homestead’s post-Andrew rebuild produced a lot of CBS homes on irregular lots, and the Redland agricultural corridor brings agricultural fencing needs you won’t see in the rest of Miami-Dade. We install vinyl and aluminum systems engineered for wind uplift, with posts set to withstand the HVHZ exposure categories common across Homestead. The written price includes the concrete, the hardware, and the wind-load spec, before any work starts. Fence Installation in Homestead covers the full range.
Driveway & Pavers in Homestead
The flat limestone shelf under Homestead means paver driveways need careful base preparation: the soil drains unevenly, and standing water is not a future problem, it is a current one if the base is wrong. We price paver and concrete driveways with the base work written into the line items, from excavation through compaction. Driveway & Pavers in Homestead breaks down the numbers and the process.

BeforeAfterKitchen Remodeling in Homestead
A full kitchen remodel in Homestead runs $14,000 to $45,000, with smaller partial projects starting around $9,000. The big variable here is the house: post-Andrew CBS homes are straightforward, but older Redland structures often hide rough plumbing and electrical behind walls that were never opened after 1992. We write the price before we open the wall, and Clause 1 of the Haven Standard says that number does not change without a signed change order. That discipline runs through every Kitchen Remodeling job we take in Homestead.
Homestead’s HVHZ codes affect kitchens too: any structural change to an exterior wall, any window relocated, any range hood vented through the envelope, all of it must meet Miami-Dade product-approval standards. We spec NOA-compliant materials from the start so the inspection does not become a surprise.
Cabinets & Countertops
Signs you need it
Cabinet boxes are delaminating, drawer slides are failing, or the countertop has cracked at the seam and no longer holds up to daily use.
What it costs in Homestead
Cabinet installation runs $4,000 to $13,000 and countertop installation runs $2,000 to $6,500, depending on material and linear footage.
How we do it
We measure, order from KraftMaid or Wellborn for cabinets and Cambria or Caesarstone for countertops, then install with the written scope covering demolition, delivery, and the finished fit.
Kitchen Island Installation
Signs you need it
The kitchen footprint works but the work triangle is broken, or you need a second prep surface and storage in the middle of the room.
What it costs in Homestead
Kitchen island installation runs $3,000 to $10,000 in Homestead, with the range driven by whether the island needs plumbing, electrical, or structural support for a stone top.
How we do it
We frame the island, run the rough-in, set the cabinets, and install the countertop, with every rough-in inspected before the finish goes on.
What Kitchen Remodeling Costs in Homestead
| Item | Typical range in Homestead |
|---|---|
| Full Kitchen Remodel | $14,000 - $45,000 |
| Small Kitchen Remodel | $9,000 - $20,000 |
| Cabinet Installation | $4,000 - $13,000 |
Does Homestead require special permits for kitchen electrical work?
Yes. Homestead enforces Miami-Dade HVHZ codes, so any kitchen electrical change, new circuit, or appliance relocation requires a permit and inspection. We pull permits on every job, and the inspection pass is part of the written scope.
Will my kitchen pricing change once the walls are open?
Only if the change is written and you sign it. Clause 1 of the Haven Standard means no work proceeds on a change until the change order is signed, in writing, with the new number on it. Call (470) 298-9650 to get your plan priced.
Bathroom Remodeling in Homestead
A full bathroom remodel in Homestead runs $9,000 to $28,000, with a smaller bathroom starting around $5,000. The water table and flat limestone shelf under the city matter here more than most owners realize: any slab cut for new plumbing needs careful seal work to keep groundwater out of the bathroom envelope. Bathroom Remodeling in Homestead means waterproofing done to the standard the water table demands.
Post-Andrew CBS homes are the easy majority; older Redland mobile homes and masonry structures bring subfloor and framing issues that only show up when you pull the old tile. We write the price for what we can see, and the change order protects you on what we cannot.
Walk-In Showers & Shower Remodeling
Signs you need it
The shower pan is leaking, the tile grout is failing, or the existing curb is too high for safe entry.
What it costs in Homestead
Walk-in shower installation runs $4,500 to $12,000; shower replacement runs $3,000 to $8,500 depending on size and waterproofing scope.
How we do it
We tear out to the studs or the slab, install a bonded waterproof membrane, set the tile, and document every layer with photos before the next one goes on.
Tub-to-Shower Conversion
Signs you need it
The tub is rarely used, takes up floor space, or the side wall makes it unsafe to step over.
What it costs in Homestead
A tub-to-shower conversion in Homestead runs $3,500 to $10,000, with the range set by whether the drain location moves and whether grab-bar blocking is added.
How we do it
We remove the tub, reconfigure the drain for a shower pan, waterproof the entire wet area, and set a tile or solid-surface surround to the finished height.
What Bathroom Remodeling Costs in Homestead
| Item | Typical range in Homestead |
|---|---|
| Bathroom Remodel | $9,000 - $28,000 |
| Small Bathroom Remodel | $5,000 - $12,000 |
| Walk-In Shower Installation | $4,500 - $12,000 |
Does a Homestead bathroom remodel need a moisture barrier inspection?
Yes, waterproofing inspections are standard under Miami-Dade code for any wet-area work that opens the wall or slab. We schedule the inspection, document the pass, and the photo record goes to you.
How long will a bathroom remodel take in Homestead?
A typical full bathroom runs two to three weeks; a shower replacement runs about one week. Permits and inspections are the variable, not the crew. Call (470) 298-9650 and we will put a schedule in the written quote.
Roofing in Homestead
A roof replacement in Homestead runs $8,000 to $20,000, with metal systems climbing to $40,000 on larger homes. The HVHZ code here is the strictest wind-load standard in the country, born from Hurricane Andrew’s 1992 landfall, and that shapes every shingle, underlayment, and attachment we spec. Roofing in Homestead means NOA-compliant materials on every job, no exceptions.
The older pre-Andrew masonry homes in the Redland corridor often still carry original roof-to-wall connections that were never upgraded. A cheap repair on that frame is a false economy; we assess the connection before we quote, and the written price reflects what the roof actually needs.
Roof Repair
Signs you need it
Wind-driven rain is getting in, shingles or tiles are lifting after a storm, or you see water staining on the ceiling below the roof deck.
What it costs in Homestead
Roof repair in Homestead runs $400 to $1,800, and tile roof repair runs $600 to $2,500, with the range driven by whether the substrate is intact.
How we do it
We inspect the deck and underlayment, identify the exact penetration, replace the damaged section with NOA-compliant material, and photo-document everything before we come down.
Roof Replacement & Installation
Signs you need it
The roof is nearing the end of its service life, you have multiple active leaks, or you want to move to a higher wind-rated system before the next storm season.
What it costs in Homestead
Roof replacement runs $8,000 to $20,000 in Homestead, and metal roof installation runs $15,000 to $40,000, with the spread set by material, pitch, and teardown scope.
How we do it
We remove to the deck, replace damaged sheathing, install the underlayment and covering per Miami-Dade HVHZ details, and pull the permit and the final inspection.
What Roofing Costs in Homestead
| Item | Typical range in Homestead |
|---|---|
| Roof Replacement | $8,000 - $20,000 |
| Roof Repair | $400 - $1,800 |
| Metal Roof Installation | $15,000 - $40,000 |
Does my Homestead roof need a NOA approval for the materials?
Yes. Miami-Dade County requires product approval separate from the Florida Building Code. We only quote NOA-compliant materials for Homestead roofs, so the inspection does not fail on a paperwork gap.
Can you match my existing tile roof in Homestead?
Often yes, but matching decades-old tile depends on what is still manufactured. We source from current NOA-listed tile lines and will tell you honestly if a close match is the realistic option. Call (470) 298-9650 for an exact answer on your roof.
Windows & Doors in Homestead
Impact window installation in Homestead runs $8,000 to $25,000, and window replacement runs $4,500 to $15,000. The HVHZ product-approval system is the single biggest trip-wire here: a window labeled “Florida Building Code Approved” will still fail a Homestead inspection without the separate Miami-Dade NOA. Windows & Doors in Homestead means we spec that approval from the first quote.
Older windows on pre-Andrew Redland homes are often single-pane aluminum, which does not come close to current wind-missile impact standards. Replacing them is not a cosmetic upgrade; it is a structural one.
Impact Windows & Doors
Signs you need it
Your current windows are not impact-rated, or you are tired of installing and removing shutters each storm season.
What it costs in Homestead
Impact window installation in Homestead runs $8,000 to $25,000, with the range set by opening count, size, and whether doors are included.
How we do it
We measure each opening, order NOA-compliant impact units, install with the required anchoring schedule, and provide the Miami-Dade product approval documentation with the final paperwork.
Window Replacement
Signs you need it
Windows are drafty, condensation sits between the panes, or the existing frames leak during heavy rain.
What it costs in Homestead
Window replacement in Homestead runs $4,500 to $15,000, with the range driven by the number of openings and whether the old frames are salvageable.
How we do it
We remove the old units, repair or replace the rough opening per HVHZ requirements, install the new windows with the correct flashing sequence, and photo-document the rough opening before the window goes in.
What Windows & Doors Costs in Homestead
| Item | Typical range in Homestead |
|---|---|
| Impact Window Installation | $8,000 - $25,000 |
| Window Replacement | $4,500 - $15,000 |
| Impact Doors | $8,000 - $25,000 |
Will my Homestead window inspection pass with Florida Building Code products?
No. Miami-Dade County requires its own notice of acceptance, the NOA, separate from the state code. We only install NOA-compliant products on Homestead projects, and we hand you the approval documentation.
Do you handle the window permits and paperwork?
Yes, permits, NOA documentation, and the final inspection are all in the written scope. You get the photo record and the paperwork, not a promise. Call (470) 298-9650 to start.
Home Additions & ADU in Homestead
A home addition in Homestead runs $45,000 to $130,000, and an ADU runs $90,000 to $220,000, depending on size, foundation, and utility work. The flat limestone shelf and high water table here make slab-on-grade and stem-wall construction the standard; we do not cut conventional below-grade footings on Homestead soil. Home Additions & ADU work in this city means designing to the ground you actually have, not the ground you wish you had.
Homestead’s HVHZ wind-load codes add a layer to additions that most Florida counties do not require: sheathing schedules, tie-down details, and roof-to-wall connections all get inspected against Miami-Dade’s standard. That is good for the long term, and it is written into your price from day one.
Garage Conversion ADU
Signs you need it
The garage stores cars that could live in the driveway, or you need a rental unit or family suite and the garage is the most cost-effective footprint.
What it costs in Homestead
Garage conversion in Homestead runs $30,000 to $80,000, with the range set by whether the slab needs plumbing cuts and how much of the existing framing meets current HVHZ code.
How we do it
We assess the existing slab and roof connections, cut the slab for new plumbing as needed, frame the interior, and pull all permits and inspections with the written scope covering every phase.
New Detached ADU
Signs you need it
The existing house does not have a workable interior footprint, or you want a fully separate rental that does not share walls or utilities with the main home.
What it costs in Homestead
ADU construction in Homestead runs $90,000 to $220,000, with the spread driven by square footage, foundation type, and the distance to utility connections.
How we do it
We design the ADU to the lot, engineer for HVHZ wind loads and the high water table, build on slab-on-grade, and manage the permit and inspection record from start to final.
What Home Additions & ADU Costs in Homestead
| Item | Typical range in Homestead |
|---|---|
| Home Addition | $45,000 - $130,000 |
| ADU Construction | $90,000 - $220,000 |
| Garage Conversion | $30,000 - $80,000 |
Does Homestead allow ADUs on any residential lot?
Not on every lot. Zoning, setback, and utility requirements vary by parcel, and some Redland agricultural zones have their own rules. We check the parcel before we quote, so you are not buying plans that cannot be permitted.
Will an ADU on a high water table cost more in Homestead?
It can, because slab-on-grade and stem-wall construction replace standard footings, and any plumbing cut into the slab needs extra sealing. We show you that line item in the written price. Call (470) 298-9650 for a precise number on your lot.
Brands We Service in Homestead
We install and service materials from Sakrete for concrete and paver base work, Abodu and Dvele for prefabricated ADU structures, and Cover for panelized building systems. Parts and product approvals are confirmed with Miami-Dade before the order goes in, which keeps Homestead projects on schedule. See our brands for the full list.
