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.

Do I need a permit for a bathroom or kitchen remodel in Miami Shores?
Yes. Miami Shores Village requires building permits for most interior renovations, including structural changes, electrical upgrades, and plumbing relocations. Even “minor” plumbing or mechanical work typically requires a trade-specific permit to ensure the safety and longevity of your home. We handle the entire submittal process through the village’s online portal to keep your project on schedule.
What are the impact window requirements for Miami Shores homes?
Miami Shores is strictly governed by High-Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ) regulations. All new windows and doors must be impact-rated with a valid Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance (NOA). For historic properties, the Village may also require specific frame colors and muntin patterns to preserve the home’s original look. We specialize in sourcing “historic-approved” impact products that offer maximum protection and energy efficiency.
How does the Historic Preservation Board affect my renovation?
If your home is locally designated as historic or located within a historic district, any exterior modification—including roofing, paint, or additions—requires a Certificate of Appropriateness (COA). The Historic Preservation Board reviews these applications to ensure changes are compatible with the original architecture. Our team manages these hearings and submittals, providing the technical documentation needed for approval.
Can I build an addition to my Miami Shores residence?
Yes, additions are a great way to increase value in the Shores, provided they comply with village setback requirements and Floor Area Ratio (FAR) limits. Because the village is highly protective of its green canopy, we also coordinate with the Public Works department regarding tree protection and right-of-way permits during the construction phase of your addition.
