I don’t usually write reviews, but I had to for this. I’m absolutely in love with my new kitchen! The team was professional, easy to work with, and really listened to what I wanted. Everything came out even better than I imagined, and the quality is amazing you can tell they really care about their work. They stayed on schedule and made the whole process smooth and stress-free, which means a lot during a remodel. I’m so happy I chose them. Highly recommend!

I’m beyond satisfied with the work Gaven did. They are professional, reliable, and the quality of the finish is exactly what I was looking for. It’s hard to find a team that actually sticks to the timeline and budget in South Florida, but these guys delivered perfectly.

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.

Zion was amazing with ideas and help! He was very attentive and made sure our job was done perfectly to our specifications. His office staff contacted us throughout the project to be sure we were happy with how things were going and to find out if we had any questions or concerns. We had 2 bathrooms completely redone and we love them. We would definitely recommend Zion and Gaven LLC to anyone.

Why corridor homeowners choose Gaven.

500+ Projects Since 2015

Eleven years of full kitchen, bathroom, and whole-home remodels across the Broward-Palm Beach corridor. 37+ permits verifiable on the public BuildZoom record. Most local contractors can't produce a permit history this long against this jurisdiction.

5.0 Stars / 60+ Google Reviews

Reviewers name the city, neighborhood, and project type — country-club kitchen, condo bathroom, family multi-room. Read every one before you sign.

$0 Trip Fee, Free Quote

We never charge to come look at your property. Site visit, scope conversation, and written proposal are all free. The price is in the contract before signing. Renovation financing available through 0% promotional programs for qualified homeowners.

License GCG1524886, Verifiable

Active Florida Certified General Contractor. Verify the license at MyFloridaLicense.com before signing. Every project carries a written 1–2 year labor warranty plus manufacturer warranties on fixtures, stone, and waterproofing systems.

SCOPE GATE

We handle full remodels and new construction only across the corridor. Five scope bands: full kitchen remodeling, full bathroom remodeling, full home renovations, new construction, and home additions. Permits get pulled when the scope requires them — structural work, MEP changes, exterior envelope, additions — and aren't pulled on cosmetic finish work that doesn't trigger them. See our process page for the full six-phase detail.

We do not take on:

  • Partial cosmetic refreshes, single-fixture replacements, or vanity swaps
  • Single-room paint-only or single-room flooring-only jobs
  • Touch-ups, small repairs, drywall patching, or handyman scope
  • Roof repair, gutter work, fence work, exterior painting on its own, deck or patio standalone work
  • Cabinet installation as a standalone scope (only as part of a full kitchen or bathroom remodel)
  • Any single-trade visit

If your project is one of those, we are not the right contractor. The work we do — kitchen, bathroom, whole-home, additions, new construction — is full-scope remodeling under our CGC license class. Anything smaller is the wrong fit for our team.

WHY THE CORRIDOR IS DIFFERENT

Why this corridor is different.

Most South Florida service areas sit inside one regulatory zone. This one straddles two — and the cost, schedule, and product-spec implications are real.

Under the Florida Building Code 8th Edition (2023), the Broward portion of this footprint (Pompano Beach, Coconut Creek, Coral Springs, Lighthouse Point, Deerfield Beach, Parkland, Highland) is HVHZ at 170 mph design wind speed. Every exterior glazed opening, exterior door, garage door, hurricane shutter, roof system, and skylight must carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance (NOA) tested to TAS 201 / 202 / 203. The Palm Beach side (Boca Raton, Sandalfoot Cove, and north) is WBDR with design wind speeds 160–170 mph on the eastern coast — products test to ASTM E1886/E1996. TAS-rated HVHZ assemblies pass everywhere; WBDR-only assemblies cannot be used in Broward. NOA numbers expire annually; we filter every product spec on every corridor project against the right standard and confirm validity at delivery. The corridor itself runs from the A1A scenic drive north through Boca.

Completed bathroom remodel in a Boca Raton single-family home — South Palm Beach

Permit jurisdictions in this footprint run at the city level. Broward's countywide authority is the Building Code Division under BORA, but each Broward city in the corridor runs its own independent building department. On the Palm Beach side, the city's Building Department uses eHub plus ProjectDox. Florida HB 267 (effective January 1, 2025) sets a 30-business-day statutory ceiling for residential remodels under 7,500 sq ft, with 10%-per-day fee penalties for missed deadlines. Practical review runs 2–4 weeks for standard interior scopes; multi-trade or whole-home work runs 4–8 weeks.

The third regulatory layer — and the one that shows up nowhere else in the three-county footprint at this density — is community-level Architectural Review. Boca runs city-level Community Appearance Board (CAB) review on facade and site changes. On top of that, virtually every gated community here runs its own ARB: Royal Palm Yacht & Country Club, St. Andrews, Boca West, Broken Sound, The Polo Club, Boca Pointe, Boca Grove, Boca Bath & Tennis. Each has separate insurance minimums, contractor-registration requirements, and stamped-plan submissions. We pull the ARB requirements packet for the relevant community before drafting the floor plan.

CITIES WE SERVE

Cities we serve in the Broward–Palm Beach corridor.

The corridor spans the northern third of Broward and the southern edge of Palm Beach County — three operational clusters that differ in housing stock, regulatory layer, and remodel scope. Whether the engagement is a Boca country-club kitchen, a Coral Springs family multi-room, a Pompano coastal condo gut, or a Lighthouse Point waterfront renovation, the six-phase process is the same. The operational realities below are what change.

Palm Beach South — Boca Raton and surrounding country-club communities

Boca is the demographic and economic anchor of the corridor. The general contractor a homeowner here interviews most often is one who has worked the country-club ARB layer before, knows the WBDR product approval pathway, and pulls a current permit history on the city's ProjectDox portal. Housing stock spans 1920s Mizner-influenced Old Floresta (locally landmarked, no HOA) through the Arvida-developed country-club era — Royal Palm Yacht & Country Club opened 1959, Boca West opened 1968 with roughly 3,500 units across 55 villages, plus Broken Sound, St. Andrews, The Polo Club, Boca Pointe, and Mizner Park. Architectural language is Mediterranean Revival, traditional, and contemporary, with significant 2010s teardown infill in Royal Palm Yacht and Old Floresta. Median single-family pricing in the high-end communities frequently puts whole-home renovations into Tier 04 finish at $400–$700/sqft. Boca West alone has a $95M capital plan running through the late 2020s; Broken Sound is mid-clubhouse-renovation. The result is an enormous in-community renovation pipeline.

A bathroom remodeling Boca Raton project in St. Andrews looks different than a kitchen remodel in Boca West, which looks different again from a whole-home scope on an Old Floresta property — different ARB rules, different completion-window covenants (commonly 12 months for major work, 6 months for moderate, 3 months for minor), different contractor-registration requirements. We have worked the country-club ARB process across multiple Boca communities and pull the requirements packet for the specific community before pre-design.

  • HighlandSmaller inland Broward community at the corridor edge, residential renovation activity growing as the area attracts family-tier homeowners moving north from Pompano

North Broward family suburban — Coral Springs, Parkland, Coconut Creek

Completed kitchen remodel in a Coral Springs suburban single-family home

Coral Springs was platted by Coral Ridge Properties starting in 1963 and built out heavily through the 1970s and 1980s. The original tract is concentrated in Westchester, Eagle Trace, and Forest Hills — mostly CBS (concrete block structure) ranch on 7,500 to 10,000 square foot lots. Parkland's modern buildout is dominated by Heron Bay (about 3,025 homes built 1998–2017 by Toll Brothers and Lennar), Parkland Golf & Country Club, and MiraLago. Toll Brothers' Saltgrass at Parkland began delivering homes in late 2025 starting around $1.6M+. Coconut Creek is a similar story at a slightly lower price point, with tract suburban stock built mostly 1970s–1990s and steady kitchen and bath renovation activity at the Tier 02 to Tier 03 ladder.

Permit timelines in this sub-region run on the faster end of the corridor. Coral Springs and Coconut Creek both run mature ePlan systems and rank among the fastest building departments in Broward; Parkland migrated to the MGO portal in 2025. Standard interior remodels typically clear permit in 2–3 weeks; whole-home scopes run 4–6 weeks. Tract-housing pricing here runs at the corridor median; country-club stock pulls materially higher (cost-band detail in the benchmark table below).

  • Coral Springs1970s–1980s CBS tract housing core, mature ePlan permit system, fast review cycles, full kitchen remodels at $40K–$120K and full bathroom remodels at $20K–$50K typical
  • ParklandHeron Bay master-planned community, Parkland Golf & Country Club, MiraLago — country-club and gated stock pulls Tier 03 and Tier 04 kitchen and bath ladders despite the suburban surrounding context
  • Coconut CreekTract suburban housing 1970s–1990s, steady mid-tier kitchen and bath renovation pipeline, value-add full-home work on aging single-family

North Broward coastal — Pompano Beach, Deerfield Beach, Lighthouse Point

Pompano Beach has roughly 78% of its residential stock built before 1979 and is in the middle of a $2B downtown plan, with significant condo replacement and renovation activity along the coastal corridor. Deerfield Beach is a similar story at slightly lower density. Lighthouse Point is the corridor's high-end coastal pocket — a canal-front grid dominated by 1960s and 1970s ranches now in active teardown-rebuild economics, with new waterfront estates running $5.4M–$17M+. The Pompano-through-Boca coastal stretch carries significant FEMA Zone AE and VE exposure; the July 2024 Broward FIRM remap expanded the SFHA by approximately 15%.

JURISDICTIONAL LAYERS

Corridor jurisdictional layers most contractors don't talk about.

Five regulatory and operational layers genuinely affect schedule and cost in this corridor. Knowing them upfront is what keeps a project on schedule.

01

The HVHZ ↔ WBDR boundary at the county line

This is the single biggest reason a Broward-experienced contractor isn't automatically a Palm Beach contractor (and vice versa). The product-approval pathways are different on either side and we filter every spec accordingly — see the technical breakdown above in the regulatory section.

02

Boca's layered ARB process

City-level Community Appearance Board review is required for facade and site changes. Ordinance 5706 (October 2024) introduced administrative review for facade changes under 20%, gated-community interiors, and minor landscaping. On top of that, every gated community runs its own ARB — Royal Palm Yacht & Country Club and St. Andrews Country Club regularly require multiple submittal rounds and are among the most stringent ARBs in Florida. The typical added timeline is 4–8 weeks on top of city review. Sequencing the community ARB before the city permit is the discipline.

03

FEMA substantial improvement on the coastal stretch

If renovation cost on a property in a Special Flood Hazard Area exceeds 50% of pre-improvement structure value, the entire building must be brought to current floodplain compliance — often including foundation elevation in Zone VE. The Pompano-through-Boca coastal stretch carries significant VE and AE exposure, with the July 2024 Broward FIRM and December 2024 Palm Beach FIRM both raising Base Flood Elevations by 1–6 feet on thousands of parcels. Read the rule directly at FEMA's substantial improvement page. We model the threshold during pre-design on every coastal whole-home.

04

Milestone inspection programs (Broward BSIP vs. Palm Beach Mandatory Milestone)

Broward's Building Safety Inspection Program (effective September 8, 2022) covers all 31 cities and requires recertification at 25 years coastal / 30 years general for buildings 3,500 sq ft or larger, then every 10 years. Palm Beach's Mandatory Milestone Program (effective May 26, 2022) applies in unincorporated Palm Beach only — Boca has its own municipal milestone ordinance. Single-family through four-family dwellings 3 stories and under are exempt from both. For condo unit remodels in pre-1994 coastal stock, the building is likely past its initial milestone — board approval timelines may stretch as building-wide compliance work gets prioritized.

05

CRS class differences and flood insurance discounts

Cities in this corridor carry different Community Rating System scores, which translate directly to flood insurance premium discounts. Boca improved to Class 5 effective October 1, 2025 (25% discount). Coral Springs is Class 8 (10%). The scoring affects the homeowner's annual flood insurance premium directly, but it also signals which jurisdictions are most rigorous on floodplain enforcement during permit review. We confirm the property's flood-zone designation and the city's CRS class before pre-design on any coastal scope.

FAQ

Questions homeowners ask before scheduling a Gaven Constructions consultation.

  • Do you charge to come look at my home or give a quote?

    No. The site visit, scope conversation, and written quote are all free. We never charge a trip fee. You only pay when work begins, and the price — scope, timeline, and tier band — 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 an active whole-home or multi-room project anywhere in the corridor, the discovery and design phase then runs 3–12 weeks before any work begins, so the realistic call-to-construction-start runway is 8–20 weeks once permitting and selections are factored in.

  • What warranty do you offer on Broward and Palm Beach remodeling work?

    Every project carries a written 1–2 year labor warranty, spelled out in the contract before signing. Cabinetry, fixtures, stone, flooring, and waterproofing systems carry their respective manufacturer warranties on top of our installation warranty. We register the system warranty for the homeowner under the manufacturer's installer-acceptance program when the install meets the manufacturer's technical literature. 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?

    Three checks before you sign anything with us — or with anyone else. 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 or our testimonials page, where reviewers name their neighborhood and project type. We would rather you do all three than skip them.

  • Does my Broward home need impact-rated windows under HVHZ — and is it different in Boca?

    Yes — and yes, the standard is different at the county line. All of Broward in this corridor is HVHZ at 170 mph design wind speed; products require Miami-Dade NOA tested to TAS 201/202/203. Boca is Palm Beach County, which is Wind-Borne Debris Region — products test to ASTM E1886/E1996 instead. TAS products pass on the Palm Beach side; WBDR-only products do not pass in Broward. We filter the spec on every corridor project before ordering.

  • How does Boca Raton CAB and community ARB review work — and how does it affect my schedule?

    If your project touches any street-visible exterior on a Boca property, expect Community Appearance Board review at the city level. Ordinance 5706 (October 2024) added administrative review for facade changes under 20% and gated-community interiors. Full CAB hearing is required for changes greater than 20% or exterior redesigns. On top of city review, the gated community ARB (Royal Palm Yacht, St. Andrews, Boca West, Broken Sound, Polo Club, Boca Pointe) layers its own approval. Typical added timeline: 4–8 weeks. We sequence the community ARB submission first, then file the city permit, on every exterior scope.

  • What triggers FEMA substantial improvement on a coastal Pompano, Deerfield, or Lighthouse Point remodel?

    If the property is in Zone AE or VE and renovation cost exceeds 50% of pre-improvement structure value, the entire building must be brought to current floodplain compliance. The Pompano-through-Boca coastal stretch carries significant VE exposure along the dune line and AE on the back-of-dune. The July 2024 Broward FIRM and December 2024 Palm Beach FIRM both increased Base Flood Elevations on thousands of parcels. We model the 50% threshold during pre-design on every coastal whole-home so the homeowner can scope under it, through it, or restructure before design lock.

  • How long does a permit actually take in Coral Springs, Parkland, or Boca?

    Standard kitchen and bathroom interior remodels in Coral Springs and Coconut Creek typically clear permit in 2–3 weeks (both run mature ePlan systems and rank among the fastest in Broward). Parkland uses MGO and runs comparable timelines. On the Palm Beach side, eHub and ProjectDox handles standard interior scopes in 2–3 weeks. Multi-trade or whole-home scopes anywhere in the corridor run 4–8 weeks. Florida HB 267 sets the statutory ceiling at 30 business days for residential under 7,500 sq ft. Add 4–8 weeks if the property is in a country-club community with ARB review.

  • My condo board requires SB 4-D milestone inspections — does that affect my unit remodel?

    Yes, indirectly. Florida Statute 553.899 (SB 4-D, refined by HB 1021 effective July 1, 2025) layered statewide milestone inspection requirements on top of Broward BSIP and Palm Beach Mandatory Milestone programs. Buildings going through milestone inspection often have building-wide envelope or structural repairs scheduled at the same time you're planning a unit gut, and the board may prioritize building-wide compliance work over unit alterations. Plan 1–3 months of board approval on top of permit review. We pull the building's recent inspection status and SIRS reserve schedule before quoting any condo gut in pre-1994 stock.
