Home Additions in Miami Shores
Additions that match the original architecture.
Families in Miami Shores tend to stay: the schools, the Country Club, the ten-minute geometry of the Village. That is why home additions are such a strong market here. Owners of 1920s Mediterranean Revival homes near Grand Concourse and the bayfront streets add rear wings and second stories rather than trade away their architecture, while ranch owners west of Biscayne Boulevard add family rooms and primary suites. The brief is always the same: make it look like the house was always this size.
Additions run through the Miami Shores Village Building Department, and the Village's code holds exterior work, additions and renovations included, to a harmony standard, with the Planning and Zoning Board reviewing what does not fit its surroundings. Setbacks and lot coverage shape what the site will carry. On bayfront streets like North Bayshore Drive, FEMA enters the math: parts of the shoreline sit in VE flood zones, and substantial-improvement rules can determine how far a renovation goes before elevation requirements apply. We model that before you fall in love with a floor plan.
An addition is structural work on a house you are still living in, which is why PGX assigns daily supervision from the first footing to the final inspection. We handle the tie-beam and foundation engineering older masonry homes need to carry new loads, match barrel tile and stucco texture so the seam disappears, and keep the occupied side of the house sealed, clean, and functioning. Fixed written scope, a licensed general contractor, CGC1539072, and one accountable team through every inspection.

What's included
Ways we add room in the Shores.
Additions engineered for the Village's older masonry houses and detailed so the new construction disappears into the original architecture.
Rear wings that match the house
Family rooms, kitchens, and suites extending toward the yard, with foundations tied properly into the existing structure and rooflines that agree.
Second stories on 1920s masonry
Full structural evaluation, tie-beam upgrades, and reinforcement before framing begins, doubling space without spending an inch of the lot.
Garages converted, not just enclosed
Legal, permitted conversions with insulation, conditioned air, and finished ceilings, not the enclosed carport an appraiser flags later.
Quarters with a real kitchenette
Independent quarters with full bath and kitchenette where zoning allows, built for parents, long-term guests, or the adult kid boomeranging home.
New load on 1920s masonry
The unglamorous engineering that lets a 1920s masonry house carry new loads safely, designed, permitted, and inspected at every pour.
