A permit history that reads clean.

Miami Shores was drawn in the 1920s and built out over the four decades that followed: Mediterranean Revival houses near Grand Concourse, prewar cottages on the numbered streets, postwar ranches spreading toward the Country Club and Barry University. Almost every one of them has been changed by somebody. Carports were closed in, screened porches became air-conditioned rooms, a bathroom appeared where a closet used to be. Plenty of that was permitted properly. The rest sits quietly in the file until a title search, a lender or an insurance underwriter goes looking for it.

Work here is permitted through the Miami Shores Village Building Department on NE 2nd Avenue, which runs its own plan review, takes submittals through the Village's online portal, and will not issue to a contractor who is not registered with the Village first. Exterior changes answer to the Village's harmony standards, and the dozens of houses carrying Village historic designation need Historic Preservation Board approval before anything on the outside moves. Every opening and roof system needs HVHZ product approval. On the bayfront lots along North Bayshore Drive the Village's floodplain rules join the review, and FEMA's fifty percent substantial improvement threshold can reshape an entire project.

PGX runs permitting the way we run construction: scoped in writing, sequenced, and owned by one person. We bring in the architect, engineer or surveyor a submittal genuinely needs, file complete rather than in pieces, and put every response to plan review in writing so nothing depends on who answered the phone. A PGX supervisor books each inspection and stands there for it. You end up with a licensed contractor of record, a fixed price against a fixed scope, and a permit history that reads clean to the next buyer's attorney. More than 20 years, 150-plus projects, all of them permitted and inspected.
