More house, same address.

Palmetto Bay families tend to stay put, and it is easy to see why: big lots, good schools, canopy streets, and Coral Reef Park down the road. So instead of leaving, owners in Tanglewood Estates, Coral Reef Estates, and East Palmetto Bay extend. The classic moves are a rear family-room wing opening to the yard, a primary-suite addition, a garage converted into an in-law suite, or a full second story on a one-level sixties ranch. On lots this size, the architecture has room to breathe while the addition earns its keep.

Additions here answer to the Village of Palmetto Bay Building and Permitting Department, and to a few realities beyond it. Zoning setbacks and lot coverage limits shape the footprint. The Village administers FEMA floodplain rules, so on homes in a Special Flood Hazard Area, particularly east of Old Cutler Road, the substantial improvement calculation can influence how much you build at once. Palmetto Bay is also a Tree City USA community, and removing or building near protected trees means a Miami-Dade DERM permit. None of this is a problem for a contractor who plans for it on day one.

An addition lives or dies at the connection points, which is why PGX starts with structure: foundations tied correctly to the existing slab, tie beams and columns engineered for wind load, and a roof line that reads as original rather than annexed. You get a fixed written scope before ground breaks, a supervisor on site daily, and stucco and finishes matched so closely the addition disappears. With more than 150 remodels and additions behind us in South Florida, we know exactly where these projects go wrong, and we schedule those spots first.
