Welcome to Biscayne Park, an intimate and historic village in Miami-Dade County, Florida, located in the 33161 zip code, just north of Miami Shores and south of North Miami. Established in the 1930s, this small, family-oriented community is known for its tree-lined streets, distinctive mid-century homes, and strong sense of neighborly pride. As an incorporated village with its own building department, zoning regulations, and permit requirements, working here requires specialized local knowledge—the same attention to municipal detail that we bring to nearby communities like Bay Harbor Islands, Florida.
At Biscayne Park, ensuring safety and compliance is the Village’s priority. Their Building Department follows established guidelines and regulations to oversee all construction, remodeling, and additions within the municipality. For over 25 years, Fab’s Construction & Remodeling has been the trusted contractor for Biscayne Park homeowners, providing the masterful craftsmanship, reliable project management, and deep understanding of the village’s specific building requirements required for significant renovations and home enhancements.
