General Contractor in Miami-Dade County

What makes building in Miami-Dade different

• High-Velocity Hurricane Zone. Homes and ordinary buildings are designed for 175 mph winds, and windows, doors, shutters and roofing must be approved for HVHZ use, usually with a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance.
• Who issues your permit. The county handles permits in unincorporated Miami-Dade, and each of its municipalities runs its own building department. The rules are the same code, but the process, fees and timelines vary.
• Recertification. The county's building recertification program applies at 30 years and every 10 years after for most buildings, with earlier timing for some coastal condominiums. Single-family homes and duplexes are exempt.
• Condo milestone inspections. State law adds milestone inspections for condo and co-op buildings three habitable stories or taller, with repair deadlines after a phase two report.
• Flood zones. Much of coastal Miami-Dade is in a FEMA flood zone, which affects new construction elevations and large renovations under the 50 percent rule.

What we do in Miami-Dade

Impact window and door replacement, concrete restoration and milestone repairs, kitchen and bathroom remodels, whole-home renovations and new homes. When an older house has to come down first, our demolition division handles that under the same license.
