Whole-home remodeling on the Key.

Key Biscayne's housing stock tells the island's whole story: 1950s Mackle-built concrete block houses in the village core, later ranches off Fernwood Road, and waterfront estates on Mashta Island, Harbor Point, and Cape Florida. Most were drawn for a different era of island life — closed kitchens, one modest bathroom, no laundry worth the name. Because buildable land on the Key ran out decades ago, owners who love their street tend to remodel deeply rather than move: full gut renovations, new layouts, structural openings, complete electrical and plumbing updates, and impact windows throughout.

Remodeling here runs through the Village of Key Biscayne's Building, Zoning and Planning Department, a separate jurisdiction from Miami-Dade with its own contractor registration, electronic plan review, and inspectors who know the island lot by lot. Two rules shape every major project. First, all of Miami-Dade sits in the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, so windows, doors, and roofing need county-approved products. Second, much of the Key sits in a FEMA flood zone, where the substantial-improvement rule means a remodel valued near half your structure's worth triggers full flood-elevation compliance. We run that math before you commit, not after.

Twenty-plus years of building in South Florida and more than 150 finished remodels and additions, each one permitted and inspected, have made PGX Builders Group hard to surprise. On Key Biscayne that experience shows up as a fixed written scope before demolition, a supervisor on your site daily, and finish protection that treats your terrazzo and your neighbors' driveway with equal respect. One accountable team carries the project from estimate to warranty, and the paperwork that keeps a remodel legal is our problem, not yours.
