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.

Q: How do you handle the Gables Estates Club Architectural Review?
A: Renovating in Gables Estates requires navigating a dual-approval process. Beyond the City of Coral Gables Building Department, all exterior modifications must pass the Gables Estates Club Architectural Review Board. We act as your advocate, providing the professional renderings, site logistics plans, and high-end material samples required to ensure your project honors the neighborhood’s prestigious aesthetic.
Q: How do FEMA flood regulations affect my waterfront estate remodel?
A: Because Gables Estates features premier deep-water lots, most properties are subject to FEMA’s 50% Rule. If your renovation exceeds 50% of the structure’s market value, the house may need to be elevated. We offer expert consulting on how to maximize your interior luxury—such as designer kitchens and master wings—while working strategically within these crucial regulatory boundaries.
Q: Can you modernize the interior of a historic estate without losing its character?
A: This is our core specialty for the enclave. We call it “The Stealth Modernization.” We can install commercial-grade smart home systems (Lutron, Savant), sub-zero kitchen suites, and open-concept floor plans while meticulously restoring the historic coral rock, hand-carved millwork, and authentic barrel tile that define the Gables Estates legacy.
Q: How do you manage construction logistics in an elite, gated community?
A: We understand that Gables Estates is a sanctuary for its residents. Our team adheres to strict on-site conduct, including noise-controlled work hours, secure debris removal, and professional staging that keeps the property exterior clean and respectful of your neighbors. We provide a dedicated Executive Project Manager to oversee every artisan on the property daily.
