Your Trusted General Contractor in the Historic Village of Coconut Grove for 25+ Years
Welcome to Coconut Grove, Miami’s oldest and most storied neighborhood, nestled along the shores of Biscayne Bay in the 33133 zip code. Known for its lush, canopy-shaded streets, vibrant village center, and eclectic mix of historic cottages and modern waterfront estates, the Grove offers a unique bohemian spirit paired with sophisticated luxury. This same dedication to preserving character while integrating modern luxury defines our work in the nearby historic and architectural gem of Coral Gables. For over 25 years, Fab’s Construction has been the trusted choice for Coconut Grove homeowners, providing the craftsmanship, regulatory knowledge, and sensitive design approach required to renovate, expand, and build in this unique and highly regulated community.
We provide the premier renovation and protection services that Grove homeowners, from historic preservationists to waterfront estate owners, rely on. Each service is hyperlinked to our detailed main service pages for more information.
Create a spa-like retreat that embraces the Grove’s natural beauty. We design bathrooms with organic materials, seamless indoor-outdoor transitions, and luxury fixtures. Whether in a historic home requiring sensitive updates or a modern residence, we focus on creating serene, functional spaces that feel like a personal sanctuary.
Design a kitchen that is both a gourmet hub and a central gathering space. Our Coconut Grove kitchen remodels often feature open layouts to the outdoors, premium natural stone, custom cabinetry, and top-tier appliances, perfect for the Grove’s focus on entertaining and relaxed, elegant living.
Undertake a comprehensive transformation of your Grove property. We manage whole-home renovations that sensitively update floor plans to capture water views and breezes, restore historic details, and upgrade all systems. Our work ensures your home meets the highest standards of modern luxury while preserving its unique soul and connection to the landscape.
Revitalize your living spaces with a design that reflects the Grove’s artistic vibe. Our interior remodeling includes opening spaces to the outdoors, using natural materials like wood and stone, designing custom built-ins, and creating fluid, light-filled environments that blur the line between inside and out.
Essential protection for bayfront and historic properties. We install high-performance impact windows and doors that meet Miami-Dade County’s strictest NOA standards. For historic homes, we offer custom solutions like divided lites to preserve aesthetics. For modern homes, we provide large-format impact glass to protect views and provide safety, noise reduction, and energy efficiency.
Define your property with elegant, tropical-hardy fencing. As your trusted Coconut Grove fence company, we install fencing that provides privacy and security while complementing the lush landscape—from classic picket and wrought iron to modern, sustainable options that withstand the coastal environment.
Protect your home with a roof suited to its style and the coastal climate. Our expert roofing services for Coconut Grove include restoration of historic wood-shake or metal roofs and installation of durable, code-compliant modern systems on contemporary homes, all designed to handle salt air and storms.
Create a resort-style pool that feels like a natural part of your tropical garden. As premier pool builders in Coconut Grove, we design and construct custom concrete pools, spas, and water features with elegant hardscaping, often integrating them with existing mature landscaping to create a private, luxurious outdoor living area.
Deep Knowledge of Grove’s Dual Character: We are experts in both the City of Miami’s historic preservation guidelines for the Grove’s oldest sections and the sophisticated requirements of its waterfront estates. We navigate the specific permit processes and community reviews with expertise.

Not only did he explain every step of the way, including when he was going to start and finish, he sent pictures and videos daily of the progress. His crew showed up right on time every day, it didn't matter if it was raining or not, they were there! They did an excellent job! I'd highly recommend them for any pool reconditioning.

Q: Do I need a Certificate of Appropriateness for my Coconut Grove remodel?
A: If your home is in a designated historic area like Village West (Little Bahamas) or is a historic landmark, the City of Miami requires a Certificate of Appropriateness (COA) before any work begins. We are experts in “Sympathetic Modernization,” ensuring your home features a state-of-the-art interior while preserving the historic stucco, coral rock, or Dade County pine exterior that gives The Grove its character.
Q: What is “Tropical Modernism” and how does it apply to my project?
A: Tropical Modernism is the signature aesthetic of Coconut Grove. It focuses on seamless indoor-outdoor living. We achieve this by installing wide-span impact sliding doors, using natural textures like teak and limestone, and designing open-concept layouts that offer direct views of your tropical garden or the Biscayne Bay horizon.
Q: How do FEMA flood regulations (The 50% Rule) affect my renovation?
A: Since much of Coconut Grove is near the waterfront, the FEMA 50% Rule is a critical factor. This rule states that if a remodel costs more than 50% of the building’s market value, the entire structure must be brought up to current flood elevation codes. We help Grove homeowners navigate these regulations through strategic “phased remodeling” or by focusing on high-impact interior upgrades that stay within compliance limits.
Q: How long does a luxury kitchen or bathroom remodel take in Coconut Grove?
A: “text”: “Typically, luxury bathroom projects take 4-6 weeks and kitchens take 6-10 weeks. Given the unique nature of Grove properties—ranging from 1920s cottages to modern waterfront estates—we include a detailed diagnostic phase to address historic plumbing or electrical needs.”

Coconut Grove is Miami’s oldest neighborhood, settled in the late 1800s by Bahamian immigrants and New England intellectuals, creating its unique bohemian and cultural fusion. It was an independent city before merging with Miami in 1925. Known as “The Grove,” it is characterized by its dense tropical foliage, historic landmarks like the Barnacle and Vizcaya, vibrant arts scene, and waterfront parks. It maintains a distinct village identity, balancing historic preservation with contemporary luxury, and is celebrated as Miami’s most lush and personality-rich community.
From the quiet, canopy-shaded streets of North Grove to the historic lanes of Little Bahamas, we understand that a Coconut Grove remodel is as much about the environment as it is about the architecture. Whether you are looking to modernize a waterfront estate near Dinner Key Marina or restore a classic cottage near Peacock Park, Fab’s Construction combines high-end modern design with a deep respect for ‘The Grove’s’ bohemian soul.
