Welcome to Buena Vista, a charming and historic residential neighborhood in Miami, located in the 33137 zip code, just west of the Miami Design District. Known for its tree-lined streets, a delightful mix of 1920s bungalows, Mediterranean Revival homes, and thoughtfully designed modern infill construction, Buena Vista offers a peaceful residential feel with walkable access to world-class dining, art, and design. The balance of preserving historic character while integrating contemporary living that we apply in the nearby Upper East Side, Miami is essential to successful projects here. For over 25 years, Fab’s Construction & Remodeling has been a trusted partner for Buena Vista homeowners, providing the craftsmanship, design sensitivity, and local expertise required to renovate, expand, and update properties in this increasingly sought-after neighborhood.
We specialize in sensitive updates to historic bungalows and Mediterranean homes, designing modern additions that respect neighborhood scale and character, and creating seamless indoor-outdoor living spaces that take advantage of Buena Vista’s lush, tropical landscapes.
We provide the comprehensive renovation services that Buena Vista homeowners trust. Each service is hyperlinked to our detailed main service pages for more information.
Update your bathroom with a blend of classic charm and modern function. We specialize in remodeling historic bathrooms with period-appropriate touches while incorporating contemporary amenities, using quality materials that stand the test of time.
Design a kitchen that fits your home’s character. Our Buena Vista kitchen remodels range from updating classic layouts in historic bungalows to creating sleek, modern spaces in contemporary homes. We focus on smart storage, quality cabinetry, and layouts that work for how you actually live.
Transform your entire home while honoring its heritage. We manage whole-house renovations that thoughtfully update floor plans for open-concept living, restore original character-defining details, and integrate modern systems without compromising historic integrity.
Expand your living space thoughtfully and legally. We expertly design and build rear additions, second-story expansions, and accessory dwelling units (ADUs) that complement your home’s existing architecture, respect neighborhood scale, and meet all City of Miami zoning requirements.
Preserve the authentic character of your classic Buena Vista bungalow. Our restoration work includes repairing original hardwood floors, restoring period windows and doors, recreating missing trim and millwork, and updating systems while maintaining the home’s architectural soul.
Protect your historic or modern home with style. We install high-performance impact windows and doors that meet Miami-Dade County’s strict hurricane codes and can be customized to match traditional divided-light patterns in historic homes.
Refresh and reimagine your living spaces. Our interior services include opening up floor plans for better flow, installing new flooring, building custom built-ins and shelving, and creating cohesive, modern interiors that respect your home’s original bones.
Add privacy, security, and curb appeal to your property. We build and install wood, vinyl, and ornamental iron fencing with attractive gates that complement your home’s architectural style and the neighborhood’s charming streetscape.
Protect your investment with a quality roofing system. We provide roof replacements and repairs using materials appropriate for your home’s style—from historic clay tile on Mediterranean revivals to dimensional shingles on bungalows and modern flat roof systems on contemporary additions.
Create your own private outdoor sanctuary. We design and build patios, decks, pergolas, outdoor kitchens, and thoughtful landscaping that extend your living space into Buena Vista’s beautiful tropical environment.
Design Sensitivity in a Transitional Neighborhood: We understand Buena Vista’s unique position between historic preservation and contemporary design innovation. We help homeowners navigate the City of Miami’s permitting process, including any historic considerations, to achieve a design that enhances both your home and the cherished streetscape.
Expertise in Bungalow & Historic Home Renovation: Our team is skilled in the specific construction methods and materials of Buena Vista’s historic homes. We know how to repair original wood siding, restore vintage windows, source period-appropriate hardware, and update layouts while preserving the charm that drew you to the neighborhood.

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.

Your Are Just Four Steps Away From The Perfect Home Oasis
We begin by sitting down with you, in person or virtually, to truly understand your vision, priorities, and budget for your project. This collaborative conversation is the essential first step in transforming your ideas into a feasible and exciting plan.
You will receive a clear, detailed written proposal that outlines the scope of work, timeline, investment, and material selections for your project. We believe in no surprises, so we take the time to explain everything, from permits to materials, and answer all your questions before we begin.
Our seasoned team manages your project from start to finish with meticulous care, maintaining a clean, organized worksite daily. You'll receive regular progress updates, including photos when helpful, so you're always informed and confident.
We walk through the finished project with you to ensure every detail meets our high standards and your complete satisfaction. Your approval is what truly completes our work, and we consider the job finished only when you are delighted.
Do I need a Certificate of Appropriateness (COA) for a Buena Vista remodel?
Yes. Since much of Buena Vista is a designated Historic District, any exterior modifications—including windows, doors, and additions—require a Certificate of Appropriateness from the City of Miami’s Historic Preservation Board. We handle the entire application and hearing process to ensure your design meets local preservation standards.
What are the impact window requirements for historic homes in Buena Vista?
Buena Vista properties must comply with High-Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ) codes. However, because of the historic designation, replacement windows must also match the original muntin patterns and frame profiles. We source specialized impact-rated windows that provide maximum storm protection while satisfying historic board requirements.
Can you modernize the interior of a historic Buena Vista home?
Absolutely. While the exterior is often protected, the interior offers full flexibility for luxury modernizations. We specialize in reconfiguring 1920s floor plans into open-concept living spaces, upgrading outdated electrical and plumbing systems, and installing high-end custom cabinetry and finishes.
How does the proximity to the Miami Design District affect remodeling trends?
Being adjacent to the Design District, Buena Vista homeowners often lean toward a “Historic-Meets-Modern” aesthetic. We see a high demand for industrial-chic kitchen designs, luxury master suites, and outdoor living spaces that mirror the high-end, artistic vibe of the neighboring district while increasing property equity.
