Welcome to Little River, an evolving and dynamic industrial-residential neighborhood in Miami, located in the 33127 zip code, just north of the Design District. Known for its historic warehouse buildings, artist studios, and a growing mix of new residential infill projects, Little River represents Miami’s innovative frontier. The expertise in adaptive reuse and managing projects in transitioning areas that we apply in nearby Little Haiti, Miami is directly applicable here. For over 25 years, Fab’s Construction & Remodeling has been a capable partner for Little River homeowners, artists, and investors, providing versatile craftsmanship, clear project management, and the practical know-how required for renovations, live-work conversions, and new builds in this unique Miami environment.
We specialize in converting commercial spaces into residential lofts, updating historic homes, building new modern townhomes, and executing durable exterior upgrades suited to an urbanizing neighborhood.
We provide the versatile renovation and construction services that Little River property owners need. Each service is hyperlinked to our detailed main service pages for more information.
Create functional, stylish bathrooms in any space. Whether updating a bungalow bathroom or installing new plumbing in a warehouse conversion, we use durable materials to build efficient, modern wet rooms.
Design a kitchen that fits your lifestyle. From compact galley kitchens in homes to expansive chef’s kitchens in live-work lofts, we focus on smart layouts, quality materials, and professional installation.
Transform any property. We manage full renovations of single-family homes, interior build-outs of warehouse spaces, and condo remodels, updating layouts, systems, and finishes for modern use.
Create space for living and creating. We specialize in designing and constructing legal live-work units, adding second stories to existing homes, and building accessory dwelling units (ADUs) for rental income.
Build out raw space to suit your vision. Our services include framing new interior walls, installing insulation and drywall, laying industrial-grade flooring, and designing loft-style mezzanines.
Secure your property with robust protection. We install commercial-grade impact windows and doors suitable for both residential and light commercial buildings, meeting all Miami-Dade County codes.
Secure your property perimeter. We build and install heavy-duty fencing, sliding security gates for driveways, and rolling steel doors for warehouses, prioritizing both security and functionality.
Protect your investment with a durable roof. We handle complex flat roof systems on commercial buildings, standard pitched roof replacements on homes, and all necessary repairs and maintenance.
Revitalize your building’s facade. We repair masonry, restore historic building exteriors, apply industrial-strength paint and sealants, and improve signage and lighting for enhanced curb appeal.
Versatility for Mixed-Use Environments: We are equally comfortable working on a century-old bungalow and a 10,000 sq ft warehouse. We understand the different permit paths, building codes, and material requirements for residential and commercial-like projects in this unique zone.
Navigating Miami’s Evolving Zoning: Little River has specific zoning overlays and guidelines as it develops. We help you understand what’s possible on your property—be it a conversion, addition, or new construction—and handle the permitting process with the City of Miami.
Practical, No-Nonsense Approach: We provide straightforward solutions built to last in an urban environment. Our focus is on creating functional, safe, and valuable spaces that can withstand the test of time and contribute to the neighborhood’s positive growth.

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.

Do I need a permit for a home remodel in Little River, Miami?
Yes. Any structural, electrical, plumbing, or mechanical work in Little River requires a permit from the City of Miami. Given the age of many homes in the 33138 zip code, permits are essential to ensure that electrical grids and plumbing stacks are brought up to current Florida Building Codes. Fab’s Construction manages the entire permitting and inspection process on your behalf.
How do flood zone regulations affect remodeling in Little River?
Because parts of Little River are located near the canal and within specific flood zones, certain renovations may trigger “Substantial Improvement” requirements under FEMA guidelines. We are experts at navigating these elevation and drainage requirements, ensuring your kitchen or bathroom remodel is compliant while maximizing your property’s safety and value.
Can I convert an older industrial or garage space into a residential unit?
Little River is famous for its creative conversions. Depending on your specific zoning (such as T6-8 or T5), we can help you navigate the process of transforming industrial-style spaces into modern, high-end residential lofts. This often involves specialized structural work and HVAC integration, both of which are core competencies of our team.
Are impact windows mandatory for Little River properties?
Yes. Little River is located within the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ). All window and door replacements must be impact-rated with a valid Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance (NOA). These upgrades provide essential protection against storm debris, improve energy efficiency, and often result in significant savings on your Florida homeowners’ insurance premiums.
