Completed projects across Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach

The Gaven Constructions portfolio below is a working sample, not a comprehensive archive.

The full record is 500+ projects since 2015 across Miami-Dade County, Broward County, and Palm Beach County; the portfolio shown here is curated to span the project types and site conditions homeowners ask about most often. The full Gaven Constructions projects record is publicly auditable on BuildZoom and at MyFloridaLicense.com.

This is a Miami contractor portfolio organized by project type. Each project shows the original challenge, the approach, the outcome, and the materials. Photography is from the firm's project archive. Every photograph is a permitted Gaven project, captioned with neighborhood, scope, duration, and budget where available.

KITCHEN REMODELS

Kitchen remodels.

The four kitchen projects below span condo and single-family work across Miami-Dade and Broward, each navigating a different site condition: HOA coordination, building-management oversight, plumbing relocation, structural reconfiguration. All permitted under license GCG1524886.

Hialeah kitchen remodel
HIALEAH, MIAMI-DADE · [TBD] weeks · $[TBD]K · [TBD property type]

Hialeahfull kitchen remodel

Challenge. A builder-grade kitchen with original cabinetry, dated electrical, and a layout that didn't support how the homeowner used the space. Owner wanted a full upgrade with materials that would hold against newer Hialeah comparables.

Approach. Full demolition to studs. Cabinetry replaced; quartz countertops fabricated and installed; custom tile backsplash specified to match the cabinet line. Electrical and plumbing rough-in updated for a modern appliance package. Layout refined without moving load-bearing elements.

Outcome. Turnkey delivery with zero punch-list items at walkthrough; inspections passed first attempt. Materials: upgraded cabinetry · quartz countertops · custom tile backsplash · full appliance package · updated electrical and plumbing rough-in.

Sunrise Lakes kitchen remodel
SUNRISE LAKES, BROWARD · [TBD] weeks · $33K · Condo

Sunrisefull kitchen remodel

Challenge. A Sunrise Lakes condo kitchen remodel with the operational complications condo work always carries: building-management approval, work-hour windows, freight elevator scheduling, no shared-area damage tolerated.

Approach. Building management coordinated up front: COI, scope, and elevator schedule submitted before demo. Custom shaker cabinetry installed with quartz countertops; porcelain tile backsplash specified to read clean against the cabinet line. LED under-cabinet lighting added for task work. Stainless appliance package coordinated with the building's electrical service.

Outcome. Project completed with zero damage to shared areas, confirmed by building management at closeout. Materials: custom shaker cabinetry · quartz countertops · porcelain tile backsplash · LED under-cabinet lighting · stainless appliance package.

Pembroke Pines kitchen remodel
PEMBROKE PINES, BROWARD · 6 weeks · $30K · [TBD property type]

Pembroke Pinesfull kitchen remodel with plumbing relocation

Challenge. A Pembroke Pines kitchen where the homeowner wanted a layout shift that required moving plumbing, the kind of scope that turns a 4-week kitchen into a 6-week one. Plumbing relocation in occupied homes adds inspection touchpoints and trade-sequencing complexity.

Approach. Plumbing relocation drawn and permitted up front. New cabinetry sequenced around relocated lines; waterfall quartz island fabricated as the centerpiece; designer tile selected to anchor the back wall; statement lighting hung to define the new prep zone. Electrical rough-in updated alongside plumbing.

Outcome. Six weeks from demo to walkthrough on the original schedule, plumbing relocation completed without affecting the rest of the household. Materials: custom cabinetry · waterfall quartz island · designer tile · statement pendant lighting · relocated plumbing rough-in · updated electrical.

Cooper City kitchen remodel
COOPER CITY, BROWARD · [TBD] weeks · $27K · Single-family home

Cooper Cityfull kitchen renovation with open-concept reconfiguration

Challenge. A Cooper City single-family kitchen closed off from adjacent living areas, with a layout that fought how the family used the room. Owner wanted a full reconfiguration: open-concept, premium materials, finish level holding against newer Broward construction.

Approach. Full demolition. Custom cabinetry specified to support the new open layout; waterfall-edge quartz island sized as the new circulation anchor; full-height backsplash run continuously to read as one architectural plane. Plumbing relocated to support the layout shift; electrical reconfigured for the new lighting plan; modern fixtures throughout.

Outcome. Open-concept layout delivered as drawn, clean lines, premium materials, flush transitions at every cabinet-to-stone interface. Materials: custom cabinetry · waterfall-edge quartz island · full-height backsplash · high-end appliance integration · upgraded electrical and plumbing · modern lighting design.

BATHROOM REMODEL

Bathroom remodel.

Miami Gardens bathroom remodel
MIAMI GARDENS, MIAMI-DADE · 3 weeks · $20K · Condo (HOA-coordinated)

Miami Gardensmodern bathroom remodel

Challenge. A Miami Gardens condo bathroom on a tight three-week schedule with HOA requirements that constrained when work could happen, what trades could be on site, and how shared-area access worked.

Approach. HOA coordination handled up front: work hours documented, elevator booking confirmed, COI on file. Large-format porcelain tile specified for floor and shower walls to reduce grout lines and read modern. Custom walk-in shower built with frameless glass. Floating vanity installed with LED mirror. All plumbing fixtures replaced.

Outcome. Three weeks from demo to walkthrough, HOA-compliant throughout; passed inspection on first attempt. Materials: large-format porcelain tile · custom walk-in shower with frameless glass · floating vanity · LED mirror · all-new plumbing fixtures.

Hollywood guest bathroom remodel — low-threshold alcove shower with ceramic subway-tile surround, replacing original 1960s cast-iron tub
HOLLYWOOD, BROWARD · 2 weeks · $14K · Single-family (guest bath)

Hollywoodguest bathroom remodel

Challenge. A 1960s Hollywood single-family guest bath with original cast-iron tub, galvanized supply lines hidden behind the wall, and a layout the homeowner wanted opened up without moving the toilet or relocating the main stack.

Approach. Permit pulled through the City of Hollywood Building Division. Galvanized supply lines swapped for PEX once the wall was open. Cast-iron tub removed, replaced with a low-threshold alcove shower and a ceramic subway-tile surround. New vanity, mirror, and exhaust fan sized to the room. Toilet and stack stayed in place to hold the budget and the timeline.

Outcome. Two weeks from demo to walkthrough, single inspection pass. The hidden galvanized lines were the real find: catching them at demo avoided a callback down the line. Materials: ceramic subway tile · low-threshold alcove shower · PEX supply re-pipe · new vanity and mirror · code-sized exhaust fan.

Pinecrest primary bathroom remodel — curbless walk-in shower with linear drain, freestanding tub, large-format porcelain floor and walls
PINECREST, MIAMI-DADE · 5 weeks · $42K · Single-family (primary suite)

Pinecrestprimary bathroom remodel

Challenge. A Pinecrest primary bath where the homeowner wanted a curbless walk-in shower and a freestanding tub, which meant relocating the shower drain and re-routing supply lines under a slab-on-grade floor.

Approach. Permit pulled through the Village of Pinecrest Building Department. Slab cut and patched for the relocated drain and new wet-vent. Curbless shower built with a linear drain and full waterproofing membrane behind every wet surface. Freestanding tub set on the relocated supply. Large-format porcelain on floor and walls, dual floating vanity with stone tops, frameless glass enclosure.

Outcome. Five weeks of active construction after a four-week permit cycle. Passed plumbing rough-in and final on first attempt. Materials: large-format porcelain · curbless walk-in shower with linear drain · freestanding tub · dual floating vanity with stone tops · frameless glass enclosure.

Pembroke Pines primary bathroom remodel — floor-to-ceiling large-format porcelain with walk-in shower behind a long frameless glass wall
PEMBROKE PINES, BROWARD · 4 weeks · $28K · Single-family (primary suite)

Pembroke Pinesprimary bathroom remodel

Challenge. A Pembroke Pines primary bath in a 1990s single-family home with a builder-grade tub-shower combo and a long, narrow footprint the homeowner wanted to read larger without an addition.

Approach. Permit pulled through the City of Pembroke Pines Building Division. Tub-shower combo removed for a full walk-in shower with frameless glass along the long wall to open the sightline. Large-format porcelain run floor-to-ceiling to stretch the room visually. Single floating vanity with an LED mirror, new fixtures throughout, and an upgraded exhaust fan on a humidistat.

Outcome. Four weeks from demo to walkthrough, single inspection pass. The floor-to-ceiling tile and the long frameless wall did the heavy lifting on making the narrow room feel wider. Materials: large-format porcelain · walk-in shower with frameless glass · floating vanity · LED mirror · humidistat exhaust fan · all-new fixtures.

WHOLE-HOME RENOVATION

Whole-home renovation.

Kendall whole-home renovation
KENDALL, MIAMI-DADE · 10 weeks · $[TBD]K · Single-family home

Kendallfull interior renovation

Challenge. A Kendall family home where the owners wanted to rework the interior end to end as one coordinated build. Scope: structural changes (load-bearing wall removal for open-concept), full kitchen and two bathroom remodels, electrical panel upgrade, interior plus exterior repaint. Ten weeks total, aggressive for that scope.

Approach. Engineering for the wall removal pulled and permitted before demo. Structural beam installation sequenced as the first major build phase to unlock the open layout. Kitchen and two bathroom remodels run in parallel where trades didn't conflict, sequenced where they did. Large-format porcelain floors run continuously throughout. Electrical panel upgraded; interior and exterior paint coordinated as closeout.

Outcome. Ten weeks from demo to final walkthrough, all inspections passed; the open-concept layout reads as one space and the porcelain floors run flush across all rooms. Materials: structural engineered beam · large-format porcelain throughout · full kitchen package · two complete bathroom remodels · upgraded electrical panel · full interior and exterior paint.

OPERATIONAL DISCIPLINE

How these projects came together

Three operational practices show up across every Gaven project:

Permits filed under the firm's own license. Every project shown was permitted under license GCG1524886, not subbed to a permit runner. Permit history is auditable on BuildZoom and at MyFloridaLicense.com; for homeowners evaluating any Miami contractor's portfolio, BuildZoom cross-reference is the fastest verification path.

In-house crews on critical-path trades. Carpentry, tile, cabinetry installation, finish work, and project management are W-2 employees of the firm. The reason the schedules above held (three weeks at Miami Gardens, six at Pembroke Pines, ten at Kendall) is that critical-path trades didn't have to be re-negotiated job by job.

Itemized scope, daily PM updates, written warranty at closeout. Scope itemized in writing before contract; daily updates from a single named PM while crews were on site; closeout warranty of one year on Gaven labor plus manufacturer pass-through on materials. For the full operational picture, see the About page.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

  • How can I verify these are real Gaven Constructions projects?

    Search license number **GCG1524886** on BuildZoom for the firm's full permit history, or at MyFloridaLicense.com for license status and registered address.

  • What's the typical timeline for a Miami home remodeling portfolio project like the ones shown?

    Full kitchen remodels typically run 4–8 weeks for condo and single-family work without structural changes; longer when plumbing relocation or load-bearing modifications are in scope. Full bathroom remodels run 3–5 weeks for master baths, shorter for secondary baths. Whole-home renovations like the Kendall project run 8–14 weeks depending on structural scope and the number of rooms touched simultaneously.

  • Why are some budgets and durations marked [TBD]?

    The portfolio is being rebuilt with current data; where a project's full metadata isn't yet documented, the field is marked [TBD] rather than estimated.

  • Are these the only Miami remodeling completed projects in the Gaven Constructions record?

    No. The full Miami remodeling completed projects record exceeds 500 since 2015. The portfolio above is curated to span project types and site conditions, the questions homeowners ask about most often. For permit-by-permit history, BuildZoom's record under license GCG1524886 is the public source of truth and the path most homeowners use to verify a contractor's claimed body of work.

  • Can I tour a current or recently completed Gaven project before signing a contract?

    Where homeowner permission allows, yes. Recently completed projects with owner consent and active jobsites under controlled conditions; ask during the consultation.
