The Grove's houses deserve better bones.

Coconut Grove is Miami's oldest neighborhood, and its houses show every era of it: Bahamian-rooted cottages near Charles Avenue, 1920s Mediterranean homes in Center Grove, mid-century ranches in Natoma Manors, and gated bayfront estates off Main Highway in South Grove. Owners here rarely want a teardown. They want the house they bought, opened up and rebuilt to current standards — new layouts, structural openings, full electrical and plumbing replacement, impact windows, and finishes that stand up to Grove humidity without losing the character that made the street worth living on.

Permits run through the City of Miami Building Department, and the Grove adds its own layer: most residential streets sit inside the NCD-2 or NCD-3 conservation overlays, which regulate setbacks, massing, and — famously — trees. Demolition work in NCD-3 carries its own review and tree-survey requirements, and removing canopy triggers the city's tree ordinance and its replacement math. Add Miami-Dade's High-Velocity Hurricane Zone product approvals for every new window and door, and a Grove remodel involves real paperwork. We handle it because we have been filing it for years.

PGX Builders Group works at the top of this market, and it shows in how we run a job. You get a fixed written scope before demolition starts, a supervisor on site every day, and protection for the floors, plaster, and landscaping that are staying. In gated communities like The Moorings or Hughes Cove we keep crews tight, parking legal, and neighbors unbothered. One team carries the project from estimate through final inspection and warranty — 100% permitted, 100% inspected, no orphaned punch list.
