Create spa-inspired sanctuaries worthy of your waterfront home. We design with premium natural stone, custom cabinetry, and high-end fixtures to craft bathrooms that serve as serene personal retreats. Whether updating a mid-century Treasure Island bungalow or modernizing a Harbor Island condo, we deliver quality results built to last in the salt-air environment.
Design the ultimate chef’s kitchen for family living and entertaining. Our North Bay Village kitchen remodels feature custom cabinetry, professional-grade appliance suites, exquisite quartzite and marble countertops, and layouts optimized for both style and function. We work within the Village’s permit requirements to deliver kitchens that feel expansive and timeless.
Undertake a comprehensive transformation of your entire property. We manage whole-house renovations that reimagine floor plans to maximize stunning bay views, integrate cutting-edge smart home systems, and employ the highest-quality finishes throughout—all while ensuring full compliance with North Bay Village’s building codes and zoning regulations.
Expand your living space with purpose-built construction. We design and construct room additions, second-story expansions, guest suites, and home offices that perfectly match your home’s existing architectural style and meet all Village zoning requirements. All additions require full plan submission, including a recent property survey and to-scale site plans showing setbacks and dimensions.
Maximize your property’s potential with a garage conversion. As families grow and needs change, converting a garage into an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) provides flexible space for multigenerational living, home offices, or rental income. All conversions must comply with North Bay Village’s zoning regulations and receive proper permits.
Essential protection for your waterfront home. We install premium, high-performance impact windows and doors that meet and exceed Miami-Dade County’s strictest NOA standards and Florida Building Code requirements. With the 8th Edition Florida Building Code (2023) effective December 31, 2023, we ensure your installation meets the latest standards.
Protect your investment with a quality roofing system designed for coastal conditions. Our services include installation of tile, metal, and dimensional shingles—all engineered to withstand hurricane-force winds and salt air. Commercial and multi-family roofing projects require Miami-Dade County DERM review and approval.
Create the ultimate backyard oasis with bay views. We design and construct custom pools, spas, outdoor kitchens, and elaborate hardscaping that turn your waterfront property into a private resort. For pool deck pavers, we handle all pervious/impervious coverage calculations and drainage planning required by the Village.
Elevate your living spaces with exquisite detail. Our interior remodeling includes custom millwork and built-ins, installation of wide-plank hardwood or tile flooring, and full interior finish updates. Interior work may require permits for structural, electrical, plumbing, or mechanical changes.
Upgrade your property’s curb appeal and functionality. We design and install paver driveways, walkways, and pool decks that meet North Bay Village’s specific requirements for materials, permeability, and open-space coverage. Front yard coverage calculations and perviousness specifications must be submitted for any new or replaced walkways and driveways.
Boost your home’s curb appeal and protect it from the salt-air environment. Exterior modifications may require permits depending on scope, and we ensure full compliance with Village codes. We use fade-resistant paints and durable materials suited for coastal conditions.
Secure and enhance your property with elegant perimeter solutions. We install custom wood, vinyl, and ornamental iron fencing that provides privacy and security while complying with Village zoning regulations. Fencing requires permits, and we manage the application process for you.
Upgrade your electrical system to meet current code and handle modern demands. Electrical work requires permits, with inspections available every Tuesday and Thursday. Our licensed electricians ensure all installations pass Village inspection.
From pipe repairs to full system upgrades, our licensed plumbers handle all residential plumbing needs. Plumbing work requires permits, with inspections available every Tuesday and Thursday.
Upgrade from the ground up. We install hardwood, laminate, vinyl, and tile flooring made for busy waterfront homes that look sharp too.

How do flood elevation requirements affect my North Bay Village renovation?
Because North Bay Village is a low-lying island community, ‘substantial modifications’ (exceeding 50% of the building’s value) may require the structure to be elevated to current Base Flood Elevation (BFE) plus a 2-foot freeboard.
