Same address, more room to live.

Single-family homes are the exception in Aventura — the gated streets of Aventura Lakes and the small golf-course enclave of Country Club Estates — so owners who outgrow one rarely find another around the corner. They extend instead: a rear addition off the kitchen, a second story where the lot cannot spread sideways, a garage rebuilt for family who visit and never quite leave. The towers have their own version of an addition — buying the unit next door and combining two residences into one — and in Aventura's condo market, that move is often the smartest square footage available.

An addition here is a full permitting exercise with the City of Aventura Community Development Department: zoning review for setbacks and lot coverage, structural plans for foundations and tie beams, and inspections at every stage. Aventura Lakes and Country Club Estates both layer homeowner-association review on top, so elevations and materials get approved before the city weighs in. Unit combinations run a different gauntlet — association consent, engineering review of the shared wall, and permits for the structural opening and the rejoined systems. Everything exterior must meet High-Velocity Hurricane Zone wind loads, and near the water, flood-zone rules can shape what happens at ground level.

PGX has delivered more than 150 remodels and additions over 20-plus years in South Florida, and additions are where that record earns its keep: foundations, tie-beam upgrades, and roof tie-ins are not the place for a contractor's first attempt. You get a fixed written scope, engineering coordinated under one roof, daily site supervision, and a realistic plan for living in the house while we build onto it. When it is finished, the new space should read as original — not as an afterthought with better insulation.
