Home Remodeling in South Miami
South Miami houses, inside and out.
South Miami's housing stock tells the city's whole story: 1920s Tudor and Mediterranean cottages in Cambridge Lawns, postwar CBS ranches across Twin Lakes and Bird Road Estates, and larger new homes filling in the gaps between them. Most owners here never wanted a teardown. They bought for the canopy streets, the walk to Sunset Drive, and the lot their kids grew up on. What they want is the house brought up to the way they live now: open plans, a real primary suite, new systems behind the walls, and impact glass in every opening.
Remodeling here runs through the City of South Miami Building Department, a small municipal office with its own plan review and inspection staff, separate from the county system that governs High Pines and Ponce-Davis across Red Road. Exterior changes visible from the street can also require a pass before the city's Design Review Board — the panel longtime residents still call the ERPB — and homes inside the Cambridge Lawns Historic District answer to the Historic Preservation Board as well. None of it slows you down much when the drawings are complete and correct, which is exactly how we submit them.
South Florida has kept PGX Builders Group busy for more than 20 years: over 150 remodels and additions, every single one permitted and inspected. In South Miami, that experience looks like a fixed written scope before demolition starts, a supervisor on site every working day, finishes protected while the loud work happens, and one accountable team from first estimate to warranty. A remodel is a promise, and ours comes in writing.

What's included
How far a whole-home remodel goes.
One contract, one team, one schedule, from demolition through final inspection. A typical whole-home scope in South Miami includes:
Block walls, engineered openings
Removing bearing walls in CBS ranches, adding engineered beams and columns, and reshaping choppy postwar floor plans into open living space that actually flows.
Postwar systems, fully replaced
New electrical service, re-piped plumbing, and right-sized air conditioning for houses whose original systems date to the Eisenhower administration.
Impact glazing, HVHZ approvals included
Miami-Dade approved impact glazing throughout, fitted to existing openings or enlarged ones, with HVHZ product approvals handled inside the permit package.
Finishes installed, everything else wrapped
Stone, tile, wide-plank flooring, and built-in cabinetry installed under daily supervision, with everything that stays wrapped and protected from day one.
Historic-sensitive exteriors
For Cambridge Lawns and other older streets, exterior work detailed to preserve the 1920s character the district was designated to protect.
