Gavin Construction completed a renovation project in my unit, and the experience was excellent from start to finish. They were professional, reliable, detail oriented throughout the entire process, and the price was very fair. They did high quality work, the crew was respectful of the space, and communication was clear and consistent. What stood out most was their work ethic and commitment to doing the job right - no shortcuts, no surprises. If you’re looking for a construction or reno team in the Miami area that delivers quality work and follows through, I’d definitely recommend Gavin Construction.

What Miami homeowners say.
Gaven Constructions
Is a licensed Florida general contractor (GCG1524886) operating since 2015 out of Doral. We work across Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach County. The work concentrates in two services: full kitchen remodels and full bathroom remodels for homeowners who want the work done right the first time. General contracting on the broader scope, full home remodels, room additions, and ground-up new construction, is available on request and runs through the same crews and the same project lead.
The brag is the license number, the review count, and the project count. License GCG1524886 is verifiable at MyFloridaLicense.com. The 5.0 stars across 60+ Google reviews are linked from the footer. 500+ projects since 2015 across Miami-Dade and Broward, with 37+ BuildZoom-verified permits on the public record for the structural and plumbing scope changes that required them.

Why a Miami remodel is not like other states.
A full kitchen or bathroom remodel in Miami-Dade or Broward is not the same project as one in a dryer climate or a non-coastal market. The climate is different. The building stock is different. The codes are different. Six things shape every job here, and a general contractor in Miami who hasn’t run the gauntlet on all six is a contractor about to find out the hard way:

CLIMATE
Salt air corrodes solid brass cabinet pulls within months of a coastal install, and any miami beach general contractor specifying hardware on a Sunny Isles or oceanfront tower job gets the spec vetted for marine-grade behavior before it goes on a drawing. A general contractor miami beach owners hire for an oceanfront condo runs every finish through that same vetting. Subtropical humidity loads cabinet finishes differently than dry climates, and paint vs stain performance is a real conversation, not a finish-board exercise.

WATER TABLE
Ground-floor Miami-Dade work needs sub-floor moisture barrier discipline that single-family slab construction in dryer regions skips. Cutting corners on the substrate prep is how you find out, two years later, that the porcelain tile is releasing.

HURRICANE CODE
Florida Building Code 8th Edition plus Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance (NOA) requirements for HVHZ apply to any new exterior opening, including kitchen window enlargements, sliding-door swaps tied into a kitchen renovation, and exterior bathroom egress changes. The product approval is non-negotiable and the inspection is unforgiving.

CONDO RULES
A coastal high-rise renovation runs on the building’s calendar, not yours. Board approval cycles run two to six weeks. Freight elevator scheduling is a finite resource. Slab penetration limits dictate where wet walls can move and where they can’t. Quiet-hours rules and COI requirements vary by tower. The board package, scope of work, contractor COI, working-hours commitment, and freight elevator booking, is its own deliverable before the demo crew shows up.

PERMITS
Miami-Dade RER, Broward County Building Code Services, and the city-level departments in Boca Raton, Coral Gables, Pinecrest, and the rest of the footprint each have their own review pace and their own quirks. We pull the permits, we walk them through, we keep them current.

INSPECTIONS
Rough plumbing, rough electric, frame, insulation, drywall, final. The inspection cadence is the schedule. Missing one is a one-week reset.
That’s the work. The general contractors in Miami who serve this footprint clear those six gates as a matter of course, and the miami contractors who clear them on schedule are the ones with a hundred prior projects on the same building stock. Most miami general contractors who run this footprint reliably have spent a decade learning each gate one project at a time. Gaven Constructions runs it that way.

How the process runs.
Six phases. The phase ranges below are a Tier 2 baseline; tiers 3 and 4 stretch longer at every phase, and Tier 1 compresses.
- 1
Discovery and scope
Site visit. Measure, photograph, document existing conditions. For high-rise condo work, this includes pulling the building’s renovation rules, work hours, freight elevator scheduling, COI requirements, and slab penetration limits, before we draw a floor plan. Two to three weeks for a Tier 2 kitchen, longer for ground-up structural reconfigurations.
- 2
Design and selections
Floor plan, elevations, finish selections, appliance and fixture spec. A general contractor in Miami FL who hands you a finish board on day one without a structural review has skipped this phase. Three to six weeks depending on scope.
- 3
Permits
Drawings to permit; permit review; permit issuance. Boca Raton’s permit review runs slower than Miami-Dade RER on average, and local pace varies. Two to eight weeks depending on jurisdiction and scope.
- 4
Demo and rough-in
Demolition, structural reframing where needed, rough plumbing, rough electric, HVAC modifications. Inspections at the appropriate gates. Three to five weeks for a Tier 2 kitchen.
- 5
Finishes
Cabinetry install, stone fabrication and template, tile, paint, lighting, plumbing and electrical trim, appliance install, fixture install. Four to seven weeks.
- 6
Final inspections and punch
Final inspections, final walk, punch list, certificate of occupancy where applicable, project closeout. One to two weeks.
The cumulative range for a Tier 2 kitchen with no structural surprises is 14 to 22 weeks. We publish that number because the contractors in Miami florida who promise four weeks for a full gut are the contractors who don’t get the work.
What we work on, by property type.
Coastal high-rise condos.
Miami-Dade and Broward coastal towers are most of the Gaven Constructions condo book. Aventura, Sunny Isles, Brickell, Bay Harbor Islands, Hallandale Beach, Hollywood; the building stock concentrates in the mid-1980s through 2010s, and the renovation playbook is consistent. Board package first. Freight elevator booking second. NOA-rated impact glazing on any exterior opening. Slab penetration mapping for any wet-wall move. COI on file with the management office before crews arrive. A miami beach general contractor handling a coastal-tower renovation at the level those buildings expect runs a different schedule than a single-family contractor in Miami fl, because the building, not the contractor, sets the calendar. Most of the small-condo kitchen flow work, galley reconfigurations, island additions where the slab allows, range venting through the soffit instead of the exterior, lives in this category, and it’s the most schedule-sensitive work we do.
Cities in the coastal high-rise category we serve: Aventura, Sunny Isles, Bay Harbor Islands, Miami Beach, Brickell, Downtown Miami, Hollywood, Hallandale Beach, Surfside.

Suburban single-family.
Coral Gables, Pinecrest, Palmetto Bay, Doral, Kendall, Miami Lakes, Pembroke Pines, Weston, Plantation, Davie. The building stock runs from 1950s Mediterranean Revival in Coral Gables to 1990s and 2000s tract construction in the western Broward suburbs. The renovation conversation is different: fewer building rules, more code-jurisdiction work at the city level, more structural opportunity, more landscape and exterior tie-in. A residential general contractor miami fl in this segment lives in the city permit office. Coral Gables historic-district homes carry their own design-review layer; Pinecrest and Palmetto Bay have their own setback and tree-protection ordinances. We pull the permits, we walk them through review, and we keep the schedule.
A note on jurisdictional terms used in search and on this page. A general contractor miami dade homeowner asks about is the same Florida CGC license that a miami florida general contractors search returns; the licensing layer is statewide. A home contractor miami fl listings call out for residential scope is a CGC running residential work; a remodeling contractor miami fl listings show is the same license for remodel-specific scope. The construction contractor miami homeowners hire for a permit-pull job and the miami fl contractor that single-family owners pick for a renovation are the same role under different keyword headings. We answer to all of them at Gaven Constructions, and we’re one of the companies providing end-to-end remodeling miami homeowners ask for: site visit through final inspection, one team. Commercial general contractor miami scope is available on request for office and retail interior work, but not the lead service.
Cities in the suburban single-family category we serve: Coral Gables, Pinecrest, Palmetto Bay, Doral, Kendall, Miami Lakes, Coconut Grove, Wynwood (residential pockets), Hialeah, Hialeah Gardens, North Miami, Miami Gardens, Pembroke Pines, Weston, Plantation, Davie, Sunrise, Cooper City, Miramar, Fort Lauderdale, Wilton Manors.

Country club and Palm Beach County.
Boca Raton and the broader Palm Beach County footprint: Boca West, St Andrews, Woodfield, Highland Beach, Sandalfoot Cove, Delray Beach, West Palm Beach, and the surrounding country-club and master-planned communities. The defining layer here is the Architectural Review Board (ARB). Exterior modifications, visible interior modifications that affect window treatments, and certain landscape changes need ARB submission, design-committee review, and approval before any city permit moves. Gaven Constructions has run that gauntlet enough times to know the rhythm: submission cadence, design-committee turnaround, the difference between a community that meets monthly and one that meets quarterly. Plan accordingly.

Persona blocks.
First time renovating in Miami?
If you closed on a renovated home but the kitchen or bath still needs work, or you moved here from New York, New Jersey, Chicago, LA, and you’ve never run a Miami remodel before, the parts that surprise people are the permit timelines, the condo board approvals if applicable, the HOA architectural review if applicable, and the lead times on imported cabinetry that the January 2026 federal tariff increase pushed further out. The right home contractor miami fl first-timers hire is one who walks you through all of those upfront, not one who minimizes them. We publish dollar ranges by tier (kitchens $20K–$300K+, bathrooms $8K–$130K+) so you can sanity-check the conversation before you sign a contract. We publish phase timelines so you can sanity-check the schedule. The point is to take the asymmetry out of the first-time renovation conversation.
Renovating a long-time home?
If you’ve been in the home long enough to want to do it right, whether you’re empty-nesters, families finally upgrading the 1990s or 2000s kitchen, or owners preparing to sell within 2–3 years and wanting maximum ROI, the conversation is about which tier matches the holding period and the resale calculus. Tier 2 kitchen at $65K–$120K is the recommended band for most long-tenure single-family homes in Coral Gables, Pinecrest, Palmetto Bay, Pembroke Pines, and Weston. Tier 3 is the band for primary-residence holds where the spec needs to outlast another fifteen years. We’ve done this enough times to have an opinion on which tier fits which scenario.
Working in a high-rise condo?
If you’re renovating in an Aventura tower, a Brickell condo, a Sunny Isles unit, a Hollywood or Hallandale Beach building, the conversation runs through board approval, freight elevator scheduling, COI, slab penetration limits, water shutdown windows, work-hour rules, and neighbor management. The board package is its own deliverable. Buildings with quarterly architectural-review meetings can add four to six weeks to the schedule if the submission misses the cycle; buildings with monthly meetings run faster. We handle the submission, the back-and-forth with the management office, and the freight elevator booking. A specific category we get hired for: miami remodelers small condo kitchen flow work, where a galley kitchen needs the work triangle reorganized within a slab footprint that won’t move and a stack that won’t relocate. The kitchen tentpole has the long-form on this; the homepage version is: we do this enough that the building rules don’t slow us down.
Renovating inside a country club community?
If you’re inside Boca West, St Andrews, Woodfield, or one of the other Palm Beach County country-club or HOA-managed communities, the ARB submission is the gate. Exterior color, window changes, paver work, pool decking, anything visible from the street or the golf course needs design-committee approval before the city permit office issues a thing. We’ve run ARB submissions at the level these communities expect, with the drawing detail and material sample expectations the design committees ask for. The schedule plans around the ARB meeting cadence, not around it.
Recent work.
The three projects below are illustrative: real Gaven projects, captioned with neighborhood, scope, and dollar band. Photography is a placeholder until our portfolio audit closes; the narratives are accurate.

Brickell condo kitchen. Tier 1. 6 weeks. $48K.
Gaven Constructions completed a full kitchen gut and rebuild in a Brickell coastal high-rise. Cabinetry, tile, lighting, fixtures, paint. Building rules required freight elevator booking three weeks ahead of demo and a full COI on file with the management office. Slab penetration was avoided by routing the new wet wall along the existing column; the venting ran through the soffit rather than the exterior, satisfying the building’s no-new-exterior-penetration rule.

Coral Gables single-family bathroom. Tier 1. 3 weeks. $17K.
Gaven Constructions delivered a full bathroom remodel in an established Coral Gables single-family home. Frameless glass shower with linear drain, large-format porcelain tile, floating vanity, plumbing rough-in upgrade. ANSI A118.10 waterproof membrane on the shower substrate; standard city permit cycle through Coral Gables Building Department. No structural changes.

Kendall single-family home. Tier 2 scope. 10 weeks. $92K.
Gaven Constructions ran a whole-floor interior remodel including kitchen, dining, and living areas. New flooring, open-concept wall removal, electrical service upgrade, custom lighting, kitchen rebuild. Structural review and engineering plans for the load-bearing wall removal; Miami-Dade RER permit; standard inspection cadence through frame, electric, and final.
License, credentials, the actual brag.
Florida Certified General Contractor. License GCG1524886. Gaven Constructions holds an active Florida CGC license, verifiable at MyFloridaLicense.com. Among general contractor miami florida shoppers comparing license status, GCG1524886 is the registration number to confirm.
500+ projects since 2015. 37+ of those carry BuildZoom-verified permit records on the public registry, the projects that required structural, electrical, or plumbing scope changes triggering a permit pull. Most kitchen and bathroom remodels in Florida fall under non-permit thresholds; the permit count anchors the verifiability of the structural work, and the project count anchors the operational reality. Both numbers stand on their own. Miami fl general contractors who can produce a permit history this long are not the norm in this market.

General contractor Miami: FAQ.
Do you charge to come look at my project or give a quote?
No. The site visit, scope conversation, and written quote are free. We never charge a trip fee. You only pay when work begins, and the price is in the contract before signing.
How fast can you respond and schedule a site visit?
Most calls and form requests get a response the same business day during our 7:00 AM – 10:00 PM Monday–Friday hours. Site visits are typically scheduled within 3–5 business days for routine projects, faster for time-sensitive scope.
What warranty do you offer on the work?
Every project carries a written 1–2 year labor warranty, spelled out in the contract before signing. Cabinetry and stone carry their respective manufacturer warranties on top of our installation warranty. If something fails inside the warranty window because of installation, we come back and fix it.
How do I verify Gaven Constructions is legit before I sign anything?
Three checks. One: verify license GCG1524886 at MyFloridaLicense.com. Two: pull our permit history at BuildZoom — 37+ verified permits on the public registry. Three: read the 60+ Google reviews linked from the footer, where reviewers name their neighborhood and project type. We'd rather you do all three before signing than skip them.
What does a general contractor in Miami actually do versus a remodeler or a handyman?
A general contractor in miami who runs a job legally is licensed by the Florida DBPR to pull permits, hire and direct subcontractors, and carry liability for the entire build. License GCG1524886 is the certification that lets a miami general contractor do the work legally on structural, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC scope changes. Remodelers without a CGC license are limited to cosmetic-only work, finish swaps, paint, and no permits. Handyman work is below the permit threshold entirely. If your project touches a wall, a wet-wall, an electrical panel, or an exterior opening, you need a licensed CGC. Most miami general contractors who handle full kitchen and bathroom scope hold a CGC license; check the license status before signing anything.
How much does a full kitchen remodel cost in Miami-Dade or Broward in 2026?
Full kitchen remodels run across four tiers: Tier 1 mid-range $20K–$65K, Tier 2 mid + elevated $65K–$120K (recommended band for most projects), Tier 3 luxury full $120K–$200K, Tier 4 custom and ultra-luxury $200K–$300K+. Cabinetry typically drives 35–45% of the total cost at every tier, and the January 2026 federal tariff increase on imported cabinets (25% to 50%) added $3K–$8K to most projects with imported cabinetry. The full breakdown is on the kitchen tentpole.
How much does a full bathroom remodel cost in Miami-Dade or Broward in 2026?
Tier 1 $8K–$25K, Tier 2 $25K–$55K (recommended), Tier 3 $55K–$100K, Tier 4 $100K–$130K+. The bathroom tentpole has the full breakdown including fixture and waterproofing spec.
How long does a full kitchen remodel take in an Aventura or Sunny Isles high-rise condo with board approval and freight elevator scheduling?
A Tier 2 kitchen with no structural surprises runs 14–22 weeks of construction. Add 2–6 weeks for board package review on the front end, plus the freight elevator booking lead time, plus any architectural-review meeting cadence the building runs (some buildings meet quarterly, and missing the cycle adds another 4–6 weeks). Plan for 18–28 weeks total from contract signing to final walk for most coastal high-rise Tier 2 kitchens. A general contractor miami residents hire for tower work has to plan to that calendar from the first site visit.
Do you handle permitting in Miami-Dade County, Broward County, and Palm Beach County?
Yes. We pull permits through Miami-Dade RER, Broward County Building Code Services, and the city-level departments in Boca Raton, Coral Gables, Pinecrest, Doral, Pembroke Pines, Fort Lauderdale, and the rest of the footprint. The drawings, the engineering plans where required, and the inspections at every gate: that’s the work, not an add-on.
Do general contractors in miami florida need to comply with HVHZ requirements on every project?
HVHZ (High-Velocity Hurricane Zone) applies to Miami-Dade and most of Broward. Any new exterior opening (windows, sliding doors, exterior doors tied into a kitchen or bath renovation) requires Miami-Dade NOA-rated product approval and HVHZ-compliant installation. Interior-only renovations don’t trigger HVHZ glazing requirements but still run under FBC 8th Edition. Palm Beach County has its own wind-zone designations that vary by location.
What’s the difference between a residential general contractor in Miami fl and a commercial general contractor?
Residential CGCs handle homes, condos, single-family, and multi-family up to a code threshold. The other category handles office, retail, restaurant, industrial, and larger-scale multi-unit. The license type is the same Florida CGC; the scope categorization is project-by-project. Most miami general contractors residential homeowners hire are CGCs running residential scope under that same license. Most of our work at Gaven Constructions is residential: full kitchens, full bathrooms, home remodels, additions. We take select scope on request, including office interiors, retail buildouts, and restaurant work, but it’s not the lead service. Most miami fl general contractors who specialize the way we do publish that distinction up front; check before signing.
Do you offer 0% down financing?
Financing options are available through partner lenders. Specifics depend on the project size and the customer’s credit profile, and we walk through the options on the consultation call after the site visit and the scope estimate, not before.
Do you handle HOA approvals, condo board approvals, and Architectural Review Board submissions?
Yes. The board package, the HOA submission, and the ARB drawing set: we prepare them, we submit them, we walk the back-and-forth with the management office or design committee. For coastal high-rise condos this means COI on file, work-hours commitment, freight elevator booking, scope of work, and slab penetration drawings where applicable. For country-club and master-planned communities this means the design committee submission with material samples and elevation drawings.
What payment methods do you accept and do you offer warranties?
Cash, credit card, ACH, Zelle, and financing through partner lenders. Every project carries written labor and materials warranties; warranty terms are spelled out in the contract before signing. Cabinetry and stone carry their respective manufacturer warranties on top of our installation warranty.
How are general contractors miami fl crews vetted, and do you use unverified subcontractors?
The crews at Gaven Constructions are vetted, trained, and run by our project lead. We use known subcontractors for trades we don’t run in-house: licensed plumbers, licensed electricians, licensed HVAC, certified low-voltage. Every sub on the jobsite is licensed and carries their own COI. The general contractors miami residents call when they want a clean jobsite are the ones who manage subs the way we do: daily updates, named project lead, no rotating cast of unknowns. Most general contractors miami fl homeowners trust on a second project run their crews this way, and it’s the difference that compounds across long projects.
Can you provide free 3D renderings for kitchen and bathroom remodeling?
Yes, included in the design phase for kitchen and bathroom projects. The renderings come after the discovery phase, after the site visit, measurements, and scope conversation, not before, because a rendering before scope is a sales tool, not a design tool.
