Home Remodeling in Miami Beach

Deco bones, modern everything else.

Miami Beach housing stock covers a full century of ambition: 1920s Mediterranean Revival off Pine Tree Drive, 1930s Art Deco in Flamingo Park, postwar MiMo blocks in Mid-Beach and North Beach, and glass-walled contemporary estates on North Bay Road, the Sunset Islands, and Palm and Hibiscus Islands. What most of these homes share is a plan drawn for another era. The whole-home remodels we run here open layouts, replace every aging system behind the walls, add impact glazing, and keep the architecture that made the street worth buying on in the first place.

Permitting belongs to the City of Miami Beach Building Department, and that is rarely the whole story. In local historic districts like Flamingo Park and Altos del Mar, exterior changes need a Certificate of Appropriateness from the Historic Preservation Board; outside them, projects seeking waivers or variances go to the Design Review Board. Every window and door must carry High-Velocity Hurricane Zone product approvals, and on a barrier island the FEMA substantial-improvement rule can decide whether a gut renovation also becomes an elevation conversation. We plan the approval path before demolition, not after a correction notice.

Behind PGX Builders Group sit more than two decades of South Florida building and 150-plus remodels and additions, all permitted, all inspected — experience a barrier island rewards. On Miami Beach that experience looks like a fixed written scope before the first wall opens, a supervisor on site daily, floors and finishes protected while trades move through, and crews who understand that a guard gate on Star Island is not a suggestion. One licensed team, Lic. CGC1539072, carries your remodel from estimate to warranty, so there is exactly one phone number to call and it answers.

What's included

What a whole-home remodel covers here.

Every whole-home remodel is scoped in writing before work begins. Here is what that scope typically covers on a Miami Beach project.

01

Deco and MiMo gut renovations

Down to block and back: new layouts, plumbing, electrical, mechanical, insulation, and finishes, sequenced so inspections pass the first time.

02

Opening up a 1938 plan

Removing walls between kitchen, dining, and living spaces with engineered beams, because a 1938 floor plan was not drawn for how anyone entertains now.

03

Impact glass sized to historic openings

Miami-Dade approved glazing throughout, sized to historic openings where boards require it, installed with flashing details a salt-air address demands.

04

Historic facade restoration

Stucco, eyebrows, curved corners, and original Deco detail restored carefully while everything behind them quietly becomes a modern house.

05

New systems, real dehumidification

New electrical service, repiping, and high-efficiency HVAC with real dehumidification — the unglamorous work that decides how the house feels in August.

FAQ

Straight answers.

Do I need Historic Preservation Board approval to remodel in Miami Beach?
Only if your property sits in a designated historic district and the work changes the exterior. Interior remodels generally need building permits but not board review. In districts like Flamingo Park or Altos del Mar, exterior alterations require a Certificate of Appropriateness; many are approved at staff level, while larger changes go to a public hearing. We check your property's status before design starts and prepare the submittal so the answer arrives before demolition day.
How long do remodeling permits take in Miami Beach?
It depends on scope. Straightforward interior remodels move fastest; projects needing Historic Preservation Board or Design Review Board hearings follow monthly board calendars, which can add months to the front end. We do not quote fantasy timelines. We map the actual approval path for your property, submit complete drawings the first time, and track the review so your project is not the one sitting in a queue with unanswered comments.
What is the FEMA 50 percent rule and will it affect my project?
If the cost of improvements exceeds half of your building's market value, federal flood rules treat the project as a substantial improvement, and the entire structure must be brought into compliance with current flood elevation requirements. On a barrier island like Miami Beach, that can reshape a remodel's scope or phasing. We run this math with you early, in writing, so the rule informs the design instead of ambushing the budget.
How much does a whole-home remodel cost in Miami Beach?
Wide honest answer: it depends on square footage, structural changes, and the level of finish, and Miami Beach carries real premiums for historic detail, flood compliance, and island logistics. We are a high-end contractor, not the low bid, and we would rather give you an accurate number after a walk-through than a pleasant one over the phone. Every PGX project starts with a fixed written scope, so the price you approve is the price we manage to.
Can you remodel a condo unit as well as a house?
Yes. Miami Beach condo remodels are their own discipline: association plan approval, certificates of insurance, service-elevator reservations, floor protection in common corridors, and strict working hours. Since Florida's milestone inspection requirements arrived, boards have become more careful about licensed, insured contractors — which works in your favor, because that is the only way we operate. We manage the building relationship so you do not spend your renovation refereeing between the contractor and the property manager.
