Home Remodeling · Venetian Islands, FL
Island homes, rebuilt for good.
PGX Builders Group takes 1930s-to-1950s Venetian Islands houses down to structure and rebuilds them properly: permitted in the correct city, engineered for a barrier-island site, and supervised on the island every working day.
Home Remodeling in Venetian Islands
Two cities, six islands, one contractor.
The Venetian Islands hold a century of Miami architecture on six causeway-linked islands: Mediterranean Revival villas from the original boom, Art Deco and postwar houses on Di Lido and Rivo Alto, and a growing roster of glassy new builds on the open-bay lots. Owners here rarely want a light refresh. The home remodeling projects we run on San Marino or San Marco are full-gut renovations, with new layouts, structural openings toward the water, complete electrical, plumbing, and mechanical replacement, and impact glazing throughout. Done right, that keeps a good island house standing for another fifty years.
Permitting here starts with a question many contractors get wrong: which city is your island in? Biscayne and San Marco Islands permit through the City of Miami Building Department under Miami 21 zoning. San Marino, Di Lido, Rivo Alto, and Belle Isle answer to the City of Miami Beach, which adds design review on single-family work and some of Florida's strictest flood rules. The islands sit in FEMA flood zones, so on older homes the substantial-improvement threshold, the so-called 50 percent rule, shapes what a remodel can legally be. We model that math with you before you commit to a direction.
PGX Builders Group measures experience in inspections passed: 20-plus years in South Florida and more than 150 remodels and additions, all of them permitted. On the Venetian Islands that experience shows up as a fixed written scope before demolition starts, a supervisor on site daily, and finish protection treated as seriously as structure. One licensed team, CGC1539072, carries the project from first estimate through warranty, so there is never a subcontractor pointing at another subcontractor while your house sits open to the weather.

What's included
What a whole-home island remodel includes.
Every project gets a fixed written scope before demolition. These are the pieces we most often combine on Venetian Islands houses.
Down to block and slab
Stripping a 1930s villa or postwar ranch to its shell, then rebuilding layout, systems, and finishes to current code and current taste.
Bearing walls opened to the bay
Engineered removal of load-bearing masonry to open living spaces toward the water, with steel or concrete beams sized, permitted, and inspected.
Systems that survive salt air
New electrical service, repiped plumbing, and properly sized air conditioning: the unglamorous systems that decide whether a remodel lasts.
Miami-Dade approved glazing
Glazing throughout the house, rated for high-velocity hurricane zone wind loads, installed with flashing details that pass inspection and keep water out.
Finishes protected until handover
The finish package — stone, wide plank, fitted millwork, lighting — set by supervised crews and kept under protection until keys change hands.
