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 Historic Preservation approval for a remodel in the Upper East Side?
Yes, if your property is located within a designated historic district like Morningside or Bayside. Any exterior changes, including window replacements, roof materials, or structural additions, must be reviewed by the City of Miami Historic Preservation Office. We handle the entire application process, providing the detailed submittals required to ensure your renovation honors the historic character of the neighborhood.
What are the requirements for impact windows in Upper East Side bayfront homes?
Because the Upper East Side is directly on the coast, homes are highly exposed to high-velocity winds. All window and door replacements must be impact-rated and carry a valid Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance (NOA). In historic districts, these windows must also match the original muntin patterns and frame profiles. We source specialized products that provide maximum hurricane protection without compromising historic aesthetics.
Can I modernize the floor plan of an older MiMo or Mediterranean home?
Absolutely. Many homes in the Upper East Side feature original, compartmentalized layouts. We specialize in “sympathetic modernizations,” creating open-concept living spaces by removing load-bearing walls and upgrading structural supports. This allows you to enjoy a contemporary flow and high-end finishes while preserving the iconic exterior “Miami Modern” or “Mediterranean” charm.
How do you handle construction logistics in gated communities like Bay Point?
Gated enclaves like Bay Point and Belle Meade have strict security protocols, work-hour limitations, and street parking restrictions. We manage all logistics, from coordinating crew access at the security gate to ensuring daily debris removal and strict adherence to the neighborhood’s quiet hours. Our goal is a professional, discreet construction process that respects the privacy of the community.
