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.

Q: Do I need Board of Architects approval for a remodel in the Granada section?
A: Yes. Because Granada is the historic heart of the “City Beautiful,” most exterior changes—including window replacements, additions, or major landscaping—must be reviewed by the Coral Gables Board of Architects. Fab’s Construction manages the entire administrative process, providing the required architectural renderings and material boards to ensure your project honors the neighborhood’s Mediterranean heritage.
Q: How do you handle “Mediterranean Bonus” projects in Coral Gables?
A: We have extensive experience with the City’s Mediterranean Bonus (Med Bonus) program. If you are looking to maximize your property’s potential while adhering to George Merrick’s vision, we can incorporate the required courtyards, loggias, and authentic barrel tile roofs that allow for these zoning incentives.
Q: What is the typical timeline for a luxury remodel in the Granada neighborhood?
A: A standard high-end bathroom or kitchen remodel typically takes 6 to 10 weeks. In the Granada section, many homes date back to the 1920s and 30s. We include a thorough infrastructure assessment in our timeline to address potential vintage plumbing or electrical needs, ensuring your modern interior is built on a solid foundation.
Q: Can I modernize the interior of my historic Granada home while keeping the exterior original?
A: Absolutely. This is known as “Sympathetic Modernization.” Our design-build team can transform a traditional, compartmentalized floor plan into a stunning open-concept space featuring luxury Italian cabinetry and smart-home integration, all while keeping the exterior façade 100% compliant with the historic character of Granada Boulevard and the surrounding golf course section.

The Granada neighborhood is the cornerstone of George Merrick’s original vision for Coral Gables, “The City Beautiful.” Developed in the 1920s, it was one of the first sections built and set the standard for the city’s iconic Mediterranean Revival style. Its winding streets, named after Spanish cities, are lined with majestic oak trees and some of Coral Gables’ most architecturally significant estates. Granada is not just a neighborhood; it is a living historic district and a protected testament to South Florida’s distinctive architectural heritage.
As a premier general contractor for the Granada Section (33134, 33146), Fab’s Construction & Remodeling specializes in the high-end restoration and modernization of Coral Gables’ most iconic Mediterranean Revival estates.

Remodeling in this area requires a sophisticated understanding of Mediterranean Style Design Standards, particularly for homeowners looking to leverage the Mediterranean Bonus (Med-Bonus) for increased floor-area ratio. Whether you are retrofitting a historic estate with High-Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ) impact windows that meet the city’s strict muntin profile requirements or executing an open-concept interior build-out that preserves original coral rock and hand-troweled stucco, we navigate the Coral Gables Board of Architects and Historic Preservation reviews with precision. Our team ensures your luxury renovation honors the neighborhood’s 1920s heritage while integrating 21st-century infrastructure and smart-home technology.
