Home Remodeling in Palmetto Bay

Built for the Village of Parks.

Palmetto Bay grew up as ranch country: low-slung 1950s-to-70s houses on lots that often top 15,000 square feet in Mangowood, Tanglewood Estates, and Coral Reef Estates, joined later by 1990s gated enclaves like Old Cutler Palms and waterfront pockets east of Old Cutler Road. The bones are usually good. The layouts are not. Owners here hire us to take a compartmentalized ranch down to block and rebuild it as one coherent house: kitchen opened to the family room, a real primary suite, new electrical, plumbing, and AC, impact windows all around, and finishes chosen once, correctly.

Your permit file goes to the Village of Palmetto Bay Building and Permitting Department on East Hibiscus Street, and contractors must be registered on the Village's online portal before anything gets filed. Because much of Palmetto Bay sits in or near a FEMA Special Flood Hazard Area, the floodplain math matters: on substantial improvements, the cost of the work is measured against the value of the structure, and that can shape the whole project. Add Miami-Dade's High-Velocity Hurricane Zone product approvals and DERM tree permits where the canopy is involved, and you want a contractor who has filed all of it before.

More than twenty years in South Florida and over 150 delivered remodels and additions have settled how PGX Builders Group works: permitted always, inspected always. In Palmetto Bay that means a fixed written scope before demolition, a supervisor on your site daily, and crews who respect a gated street in Royal Harbour Yacht Club as much as a corner lot near Coral Reef Park. From estimate to final inspection to warranty the same team stays on the job, which means one phone number and a person who actually picks it up.

What's included

The full remodel, piece by piece.

Every remodel is scoped in writing before we open a wall. These are the pieces we most often combine for Palmetto Bay houses.

01

Ranches taken back to block

The whole interior taken back to block and rebuilt: new layout, systems, and finishes, sequenced so inspections never stall the schedule.

02

Bearing walls, engineered away

Engineered removal of bearing walls in CBS ranches, with beams sized and permitted so a 1965 floor plan finally connects.

03

Wiring, pipes, and AC replaced

New electrical service, repiped plumbing, and right-sized AC with proper ducting, because sixty-year-old systems have no business behind new stone.

04

Impact glass, shutters retired

Miami-Dade approved impact glass throughout, installed to High-Velocity Hurricane Zone requirements and inspected, replacing shutters you will never wrestle with again.

05

Finishes chosen once, correctly

Stone, wide-plank flooring, custom doors and built-ins, managed under one schedule and protected until the day we hand the house back.

FAQ

Straight answers.

Do I need a permit to remodel my home in Palmetto Bay?
Yes. Interior remodeling that touches structure, electrical, plumbing, or mechanical work requires permits from the Village of Palmetto Bay Building and Permitting Department, and your contractor must be registered on the Village's online portal before applying. Unpermitted work surfaces at appraisal or resale, and it surfaces expensively. PGX handles the filings, the plans, and every inspection as part of the job, which is why our projects close out cleanly.
How long does permitting take in Palmetto Bay?
The Village quotes about a week for its initial in-house review, which is fast by Miami-Dade standards. The real variable is outside agencies: projects that involve DERM, tree permits, or health department review of a septic system take longer, and floodplain review adds a step for homes in a flood zone. We build the permitting timeline into the written schedule so you know before demolition, not during.
My house is east of Old Cutler Road. Does the flood zone limit my remodel?
It can. Much of Palmetto Bay, especially toward the bay, sits in a FEMA Special Flood Hazard Area, and the Village administers the substantial improvement rule: if the cost of improvements crosses the threshold relative to your structure's value, the home must be brought into flood compliance. That is not a reason to skip the remodel; it is a reason to scope it precisely. We run that math with you at the estimate stage.
Should I remodel my 1960s ranch or tear it down and build new?
Usually the ranch wins. Most of these houses are solid CBS construction with straightforward rooflines, which makes them excellent candidates for gut renovation, structural openings, and even second stories. New construction triggers today's full code and flood elevation requirements from scratch, and it costs accordingly. We will tell you honestly if your house is the exception; we have walked away from remodels that did not deserve saving.
What does a whole-home remodel cost in Palmetto Bay?
It depends on square footage, structure, and finish level, and anyone who quotes a number before walking the house is guessing. We work at the high end of the market: custom cabinetry, natural stone, engineered openings, full systems replacement. What we commit to is a fixed written scope and price before work starts, so the number you approve is the number you pay unless you change the plan.
