Outdoor living, built for salt air.

Outdoor space is the whole argument for Bay Harbor Islands: canal frontage between the two islands, open bay to the north and west, Indian Creek across the way. West Island owners are building covered terraces, summer kitchens, and pool surrounds that turn a back yard into the room the house was missing. The catch is chemistry. Salt air is patient and thorough, and it finds cheap hinges, mystery-metal fasteners, and bargain fixtures within a season or two. Out here, material selection is not a detail; it is the design.

Exterior work in this town is genuinely regulated. The Town of Bay Harbor Islands Building & Zoning Department requires separate permits for driveways, fences, windows, doors, and roofing, and exterior renovations fall under the Design Review Board's purview. Anything anchored against the sky — pergolas, summer kitchen structures, covered terraces — gets engineered for High-Velocity Hurricane Zone wind loads, with Miami-Dade approved products at every opening. Work at the seawall or dock brings county environmental permitting into the picture. We sequence all of it so approvals arrive before the crew does.

Lots here are close-set and the neighbors are near, so PGX runs tidy sites: staged deliveries over the Broad Causeway, daily cleanup, and crews that treat the street like part of the job. Your outdoor living project gets a fixed written scope covering structure, drainage, and the waterproofing where terrace meets house — the connection everyone forgets until the first summer storm remembers it for them. Stucco, paint, and re-roof coordination fold into one schedule under one supervisor. Twenty-plus years in South Florida, licensed and insured, Lic. CGC1539072.
