Kitchens that face the bay.

The typical Venetian Islands kitchen was drawn when cooking was hidden labor: a closed room at the back of a Mediterranean villa or a midcentury ranch on Rivo Alto, San Marino, or Di Lido. Today's owners want the opposite, and a kitchen remodeling project here usually means a large working island, custom cabinetry to the ceiling, book-matched stone, and a sightline straight through the living room to Biscayne Bay. Getting there means moving walls, not just cabinets, and on this housing stock that is structural work worth doing once and doing correctly.

The permit path follows your address. Biscayne and San Marco Islands file with the City of Miami; San Marino, Di Lido, Rivo Alto, and Belle Isle file with the City of Miami Beach. A cabinet swap is simple, but relocating gas, moving plumbing, opening a bearing wall, or enlarging a window toward the terrace each triggers its own review. In the Belle Isle towers, buildings like Nine Island Avenue, the Grand Venetian, and Costa Brava, the association's alteration approval, insurance requirements, and elevator schedule come before any city permit, and we handle that paperwork as part of the job.

Kitchens are where a fixed written scope earns its keep, because kitchens are where vague allowances go to die. PGX prices the actual cabinetry, the actual slabs, and the actual appliances before we open a wall, then supervises the site every day so your home doesn't become a staging area for unmanaged trades. We've delivered more than 150 remodels and additions across South Florida over 20-plus years, licensed and insured under CGC1539072, and every kitchen we build is permitted and inspected. No shortcuts behind the backsplash.
