Outdoor Living & Exterior · Venetian Islands, FL
Outdoor rooms at the water's edge.
PGX builds the outdoor half of Venetian Islands living: terraces, summer kitchens, pergolas, and driveways, licensed and permitted through the correct city, engineered for wind, salt, and the occasional king tide.
Outdoor Living & Exterior in Venetian Islands
Where the backyard ends at a seawall.
On the Venetian Islands the backyard is the amenity: a pool terrace facing the skyline from San Marco, dock access off Rivo Alto, long evening light on the west side of Biscayne Island. The outdoor living projects we build here are true construction, including structural pergolas, summer kitchens with gas and refrigeration, new driveways and entry sequences, and complete exterior envelope work. All of it is designed for a site that takes salt spray, full sun, and forty-knot squalls, sometimes in the same afternoon.
Exterior work is where island permitting gets layered. Your island decides the building department, City of Miami for Biscayne and San Marco, City of Miami Beach for San Marino, Di Lido, Rivo Alto, and Belle Isle, and Miami Beach adds design review plus a seawall ordinance that sets minimum elevations for new and substantially repaired walls. Work on the seawall or dock brings Miami-Dade County environmental review into the conversation as well. Anything attached to the house or catching wind, from pergolas to shutters to doors, needs high-velocity hurricane zone product approvals. We sequence it so approvals land in the right order.
Our outdoor scopes read like our indoor ones: fixed in writing, priced in real materials such as shellstone, ipe, and marine-grade stainless, and supervised daily by people who know what salt does to the wrong hardware in a single summer. Drainage is designed rather than assumed, because low island lots forgive nothing after a rainy-season king tide. And since a project can keep us on your street for months, we run tight sites and quiet logistics; on islands this small, discretion is part of the scope. Licensed and insured, CGC1539072, 100 percent permitted work.

What's included
Exterior scope for waterfront lots.
The outdoor work we design, permit, and build across the six islands, from the street side all the way to the seawall.
Pool terraces that shed water
Shellstone, travertine, and porcelain paving set over engineered drainage, with elevations planned so rain and spray run away from the house.
Summer kitchen, roofed and plumbed
Gas, water, refrigeration, and ventilation built to code under a real roof or pergola: an outdoor room, not an appliance cart.
Ipe and aluminum pergolas
Engineered for hurricane-zone wind loads and anchored accordingly, in aluminum, ipe, or cedar that stands up to bay-front exposure.
Driveways, gates, and arrival
New driveways, garden walls, gates, and hardscape that give an original island house the arrival its remodel deserves.
The full skin of the house
Stucco restoration, painting, impact openings, and re-roof coordination, all handled by one accountable team.
