Whole-home remodeling in Doral.

Doral is young by Miami standards — most of its housing went up between the early 1990s and the 2010s, in gated communities like Doral Estates, Doral Isles, Costa del Sol, and the Islands at Doral. The construction is solid concrete block; the interiors are another story. Arched niches, beige tile in every room, a kitchen walled off from the family room — design decisions that made sense at the sales center in 2002. A whole-home remodel keeps the structure and replaces everything that dates the house: layout, mechanicals, lighting, flooring, openings.

Permitting is the City of Doral Building Department's business, and it reviews each discipline — structural, electrical, plumbing, mechanical — as its own sub-permit and requires the contractor of record to be registered with the city. Before any of that, most Doral communities want their own say: nearly every neighborhood here is HOA-governed, and exterior changes typically pass through an architectural review committee first. Impact windows and doors must carry Miami-Dade product approvals, since all of Doral sits in the High Velocity Hurricane Zone. We sequence all three reviews so none of them stalls the others.

PGX runs whole-home projects the way they should be run: a fixed written scope priced before demolition, one licensed team (Lic. CGC1539072) from estimate through warranty, and a superintendent who walks the site every day it is active. In gated communities we handle guard-gate coordination, HOA paperwork, and the quiet logistics that keep neighbors friendly. After 20-plus years and more than 150 remodels and additions across South Florida, we have learned that the difference between a good remodel and a stressful one is rarely the tile. It is the management.
