PGT Kitchen Remodeling: The Miami Owner’s Guide
Mason Remodeling Co Miami installs and services PGT-compatible kitchen remodeling components throughout Miami, from Coral Gables to Kendall to Coconut Grove. A full PGT kitchen remodel in Miami runs between $16,520 and $53,100 depending on cabinet count, countertop material, and whether you’re tightening an existing layout or moving walls. We stock PGT-compatible hardware and trim on our trucks, and we’ll give you a written price before any work starts.
Most Miami homeowners call us because something in the kitchen has finally given out and they’re tired of working around it. A drawer face that falls off when you pull it. A cabinet hinge that’s stripped its screw holes. A countertop seam that’s opened up from six months of Florida humidity. They’ve usually been living with the problem for a year, and they’re ready to stop living with it.
Which PGT Models This Applies To
PGT kitchen lines vary by series, and the compatibility question matters more than most people expect. PGT’s cabinet lines have shifted over the years, and a hinge from a 2012 production run won’t always seat properly on a 2020 box. If you have a label inside a drawer or on the cabinet frame, that’s the quickest way to identify the series. No label? Measure the door overlay and hinge cup diameter before you buy anything, because PGT has used both 35mm and 40mm cup hinges across different lines.
The OEM-vs-aftermarket decision for PGT parts is straightforward. OEM hardware costs more but matches the existing bore pattern and finish exactly. Quality aftermarket equivalents exist for hinges, slides, and drawer boxes, and we’ll tell you honestly when one will work and when it won’t. For finishes, that’s where aftermarket gets risky, because a brushed nickel from one supplier is rarely a true match for PGT’s factory finish. We source the right part for the job, not whatever’s cheapest to order, and we’ll show you the difference in writing before you commit.
One Miami-specific detail matters here: PGT cabinet boxes handle humidity well, but the hardware doesn’t love it. Soft-close mechanisms fail faster in coastal air than they do inland, and we see it every week in Brickell and Edgewater. We’re an independent service provider, not affiliated with PGT, and our job is to match the right part to the right model without selling you something you don’t need.

Signs Your PGT Kitchen Remodeling Is Failing
- Drawer fronts pulling away from the box. The glue line on the drawer front has let go, usually from humidity cycling. This is repairable, but if you wait, the front will split from the stress of being pulled at an angle.
- Cabinet doors that won’t stay closed or slam open. The hinge has worn past its spring tension. Replacing the hinge is a 15-minute fix if the screw holes are sound, but stripped holes mean doweling and re-drilling first.
- Soft-close drawers that now slam. The piston inside the slide has failed. In Miami’s salt air, this happens faster than the manufacturer’s spec sheet suggests, especially in kitchens near the water.
- A countertop seam that’s opening or a corner that’s chipped. Quartz and solid surface seams flex with temperature swings, and a seam that opens is a water intrusion point. That’s not cosmetic, and it’s not something to caulk and hope about.
- An island that rocks or a cabinet that’s pulling off the wall. The mounting hardware has loosened or the floor has shifted. It needs to be re-shimmed and re-secured before you have a failure, not after.

AfterReplacement Cost & What’s Included
Our kitchen remodeling work in Miami runs $16,520 to $53,100 for a full PGT kitchen, with smaller scopes priced below that threshold. A countertop installation runs $2,360 to $7,670. Backsplash installation runs $945 to $2,950. A kitchen island installation runs $3,540 to $11,800. What drives the range is cabinet count, countertop material, whether you’re doing a cabinet installation ($4,720 to $15,340) or a full-tear-out remodel, and whether any wall movement is involved.
Every quote is a written, line-item price delivered before work starts. You’ll see parts, labor, and any sub-trade work separated out. If the scope changes mid-project, you’ll get a written change order before we touch the new work, not a surprise invoice at the end. The work is covered by our 365-Day Done Right Promise: if it’s not right within a year of completion, we make it right at no cost to you.
DIY or Call Us?
Some things are safe to check yourself. Pull a drawers and look at the slide for debris or a popped rivet. Tighten a loose hinge screw. Clean the gunk out of a soft-close track. None of that requires a technician or a trip charge, and if it solves the problem, you’re done.
Where DIY goes wrong is when a hinge hole strips, a drawer box splits, or a mounting bracket pulls out of a wall. At that point, most homeowners reach for the biggest screw they can find, and we end up replacing more than they would have paid us to fix originally. Call us at (850) 780-8123 before you drill or glue anything structural, and we’ll walk you through whether it’s a phone-fix or a truck-fix.
FAQs
The boxes themselves should last 20-plus years if they were installed correctly and kept dry. Hardware like hinges, slides, and soft-close pistons typically needs replacement every 8 to 12 years in Miami, sooner close to the coast. Schedule a free estimate at (850) 780-8123 and we’ll tell you what’s worth saving and what’s past its service life.
Yes, in many cases a hinge or slide can be repaired with a replacement piston or re-bored screw holes, and we’ll tell you if that’s the smarter play on your specific door or drawer. Some failures, like stripped-out hinge cups or split drawer fronts, aren’t worth repairing. Call (850) 780-8123 for an honest read on your kitchen.
Most cabinet hardware swaps, countertop replacements, and backsplash installations are done in one to three working days. A full PGT kitchen remodel in Miami typically runs two to six weeks depending on scope, permitting, and material lead times. We’ll put the schedule in writing with your written price, before work begins.
We keep common PGT-compatible hinges, slides, drawer boxes, and mounting hardware on our trucks and in our Miami shop. If a part isn’t something we stock, we order it and give you an exact lead time before you commit to the job. Call (850) 780-8123 and we’ll check availability while you’re on the phone.
