SCOPE GATE

We handle full remodels and new construction only across the three-county footprint. Five scope bands: full kitchen remodels, full bathroom remodels, 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.

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, condo, additions, whole-home, new construction — is full-scope remodeling under our CGC license class.

WHAT OUR FOOTPRINT COVERS

What our footprint covers.

Our footprint is the three-county area of Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach County, served from our Doral, FL office. The remodeling company miami homeowners interview here, the remodeling company broward homeowners interview, and the remodeling company palm beach homeowners interview is the same operation across all three: same Florida CGC license, same permit history per county, same six-phase process. We have an active permit history in each county and 10+ years of repeated work cycles through the building departments and condo boards. What differs is the permit jurisdiction, the regulatory layer, and the typical housing stock — for full-service detail see the home remodeling parent plus our homepage scope overview.

Posted permit and inspection record at active jobsite illustrating jurisdictional permit-pull workflow

The regulatory layer drives schedule, scope, and cost in ways no single-county contractor pretending to cover the full footprint has the experience to manage. Miami-Dade and Broward sit inside the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ), which means new exterior glazing requires Miami-Dade NOA-rated assemblies and the FBC 8th Edition flashing program — see the Florida Building Commission for current code references. Palm Beach is outside HVHZ but inside the Wind-Borne Debris Region, with less stringent but still rated assemblies. FEMA substantial improvement applies to coastal stock across all three counties — if cumulative remodel cost exceeds 50% of structure value, the entire structure must be brought to current flood code, including foundation elevation in Zone VE. Architectural Review Board (ARB) review applies in country-club and HOA-managed communities concentrated in southern Palm Beach and parts of Broward. We pull these layers before drawing a floor plan, on every project.

PRICING AND TIMELINE

How the footprint affects pricing and timeline.

The same scope prices roughly the same across the three-county footprint. A Tier 03 kitchen at $80K–$140K in Aventura is a Tier 03 kitchen at $80K–$140K in Boca. The variance shows up in schedule, not headline price. The full kitchen remodel service fl scope and the full bathroom renovation miami scope both run our standard six-phase process — see kitchen remodeling Miami and bathroom remodeling Miami for room-specific 4-tier pricing.

Schedule differences are real and predictable. Miami-Dade RER and Broward County Building Code Services run similar review cycles on equivalent scope; Boca Raton Building Department runs longer. Condo board approval adds 2–6 weeks regardless of county on any unit-side gut. ARB review adds 30–60 days where it applies. FEMA substantial improvement, where triggered, adds engineering, foundation elevation, and envelope upgrades that can extend a project by 3–6 months and add $150K–$400K to the build cost.

The general contractors south florida homeowners interview should produce three things on a footprint conversation: a confirmed permit history with the relevant building department, a written ARB or condo-board submission process if the property requires one, and a flood-zone determination pulled before pre-design. We pull all three before quoting on every project.

FAQ

Footprint expertise — homeowner questions.

  • 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, the discovery and design phase 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 home 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. 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 a contract?

    Three checks before you sign with us — or anyone else. One: verify license CGC1524886 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 would rather you do all three than skip them.

  • Do you work in cities not listed on the county pages?

    Probably yes, within Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach. The cities listed on each county hub are the ones we work in most often. If your city is in the three-county footprint and is not listed, call (786) 397-8380 or send the contact form. Outside the three-county footprint we don't take work.

  • How does my city or county affect my permit timeline?

    Miami-Dade RER and Broward County Building Code Services run similar review cycles on equivalent scope. The Boca Raton Building Department runs longer. Any remodeling contractor miami fl team working coastal flood-zone projects routes through floodplain administration before final permit issue, regardless of county, and typically adds 2–4 weeks. Condo work adds the building's own approval as a parallel track, regardless of county, typically 2–6 weeks. We model the full critical path on every project before quoting — including jurisdiction-specific schedule across the south florida service areas we cover.

  • What if my project crosses a county line?

    Rare but real. The Aventura / Hallandale Beach municipal line crosses the Miami-Dade / Broward county line, and a small set of properties straddle the boundary. Permit jurisdiction is determined by the parcel address. We pull the parcel record and confirm jurisdiction before pre-design.

  • Can you handle the HOA or condo board approval process for my area?

    Yes. We pull the building's renovation rules document or the HOA's architectural review submission requirements before drawing a floor plan, route the package through the community's process in parallel with the municipal permit, and carry the certificate of insurance with the building or HOA named as additional insured.
