moderate 2–8 h

Steps

  1. Walk the kitchen with tape and mark everything that is loose, sticking or leaking — most 'falling apart' kitchens need a dozen small fixes before anyone needs a new kitchen.

Stop and call a pro if

  • a countertop is sagging, delaminating around the sink, or the cabinet box under it is soft — water has been in it for a while

Rules in the US: Moving a gas line or adding circuits for a range or dishwasher needs permits and a licensed trade in almost every jurisdiction.

Why Miami homes get this: Hurricane preparation and post-storm punch lists (shutter installation, generator hookup, water-damage repair) dominate seasonal demand. Condo associations and HOA boards in Sunny Isles and Aventura issue strict scope-of-work approvals, and licensed-only requirements limit what unlicensed handymen can legally perform — most clients require state-licensed contractors for any work over $500.
