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.

SCOPE GATE

What we do, and what we don't.

We handle full remodels and new construction only. Five scope bands:

  1. Full kitchen remodel — gut and rebuild, 4-tier pricing $20K–$300K+
  2. Full bathroom remodel — gut and rebuild, 4-tier pricing $8K–$130K+
  3. Full home renovation — whole-home gut, multi-room remodel, condo gut, $200K–$1.5M+
  4. New construction — custom home building, ground-up residential
  5. Home additions — room addition, second-story, garage conversion, ADU

We don't take on partial cosmetic refreshes, single-fixture replacements, vanity-only swaps, drywall repair, exterior painting standalone, gutter cleaning, or any single-trade handyman scope. If you want a contractor in Aventura who can handle a full project from demo through final inspection, we're built for that. If you want a faucet swap, we're not the right fit and we'll say so on the phone before anyone drives out.

SERVICE BANDS

Service bands in Aventura.

01

Full kitchen remodel(core specialty)

Kitchen remodels in Aventura concentrate in two scope shapes: tower-condo galley-to-open-concept rebuilds (the most-requested project in Williams Island and the Country Club Drive towers) and Aventura Lakes single-family kitchen reworks. On the condo side, the work usually involves taking down a non-bearing wall between kitchen and dining, replacing the entire cabinet run with a custom or semi-custom box, slab-front quartz or natural-stone countertops, and a panel-front integrated refrigeration unit that lines up flush with the cabinet front. On the SFH side, the project tends to expand into the adjacent breakfast room and add an island that doubles as informal dining. A kitchen remodeler aventura tower owners hire needs to know the freight elevator rules, the building's hours-of-work window, and the slab-penetration policy before pricing the job. We do.

The kitchen tentpole walks through the four tier bands from $20K cosmetic refresh through $300K+ ultra-luxury custom in detail. Most Aventura condo kitchens land in Tier 03 ($60K–$120K) and most Williams Island kitchens land in Tier 04 ($120K–$300K+). See the full kitchen remodeling scope and tier ladder for specifics.

02

Full bathroom remodel(core specialty)

Bathroom is where the Aventura keyword universe is densest, and it reflects the operational reality: the bathroom remodel aventura clients ask for is the most-requested project type at the city level. The condo-tower primary bath rebuild (frameless glass walk-in shower, freestanding tub, floating double-vanity with under-cabinet LED, large-format porcelain or stone tile, smart fixtures) is the dominant pattern. Secondary baths (a small bathroom remodel aventura owners often pair with the primary) are tighter scope but follow the same waterproofing and finish-tier discipline. For the modern bathroom aventura clients ask us to design, the spec lands on Schluter-Kerdi waterproofing under tile, brushed or matte-black fixtures that handle South Florida water hardness without chrome spotting, and ventilation sized correctly to the room volume. Undersized exhaust fans are the single most common bathroom regret we see on rework jobs. A bathroom contractor aventura homeowners verify is licensed, registered with the City, and pulling permits is the bar; cosmetic-only "makeover" work without permit pulls is not work we take on.

The bathroom tentpole walks through the four tier bands from $8K through $130K+ in detail. The bathroom update aventura buyers are pricing usually lands somewhere between Tier 02 ($15K–$30K) for a guest bath and Tier 04 ($60K+) for a Williams Island primary. A bathroom remodeling company aventura owners can hand the full project to needs to handle scope from board package through punch list. We do. See full bathroom remodeling scope and tier ladder and the bathroom remodel cost breakdown for Miami for tier-by-tier specifics. A bathroom remodeler aventura homeowners hire should coordinate City permit, board approval letter, and freight schedule from one project plan. We do that on every condo project. The line between a real bathroom makeover aventura clients pay for and a permit-skipping cosmetic refresh is whether the contractor is registered with the city.

03

Full home renovation (whole-home, multi-room, condo gut)

Whole-home gut renovations in Aventura are most common on Williams Island full-floor units, Aventura Lakes 3,000+ sqft single-family homes, and tower penthouse rebuilds. Pricing across South Florida runs $150–$400/sqft for whole-home gut work, $200K–$1.5M+ total, with most projects landing $400K–$800K. Multi-room remodels (kitchen + 2 bathrooms + living, but not gut-everything) run $80K–$400K. Condo gut renovation (strip the unit to studs and slab, reroute mechanicals, rebuild interior partitions) runs $300K–$1M+ depending on size and finish tier. The home remodeling parent page walks through whole-home, multi-room, and condo-gut tier ladders in detail. See full home renovation scope and pricing. The home remodeling contractors aventura owners hire for full-scope work need to handle structural review, board approval, and finish coordination simultaneously. We run all three from one project plan.

04

New construction

Aventura's tight buildable lot supply concentrates new construction inside Aventura Lakes (rare teardown-rebuilds), Williams Island (very rare), and the Country Club Drive single-family edges. We handle ground-up residential construction across Miami-Dade, including teardown-rebuilds where the original structure is past useful repair. See our new construction scope for project planning, foundation, structural, envelope, and finish phasing.

05

Home additions

Aventura Lakes single-family homes occasionally add a primary suite, a second-story over a garage, or a screened pool addition. New square footage on an existing structure runs through the engineered-foundation, separate-permit-class workflow, which is different from interior remodels. See home additions scope and pricing for permit class and structural specifics.

AVENTURA CONTEXT

What makes a remodel here different.

Aventura skyline — 1970s through mid-2010s tower wave including Del Prado, Williams Island, Hidden Bay, Bellini, and Echo

Aventura is condo-dominant. The 1970s through mid-2010s tower wave produced the buildings most Aventura homeowners live in today: Del Prado (1971), Eldorado Towers (1974), Delvista Towers (1982), Williams Island's 9-tower private-island community (established 1986, with buildings like Villa Marina at 1998 and Bella Mare at 2005), Hidden Bay at 20 stories (2000), EastSide at 7 floors (2007), Bellini at 24 floors (2014), and Echo Aventura at 11 floors (2016). The single-family stock concentrates inside Aventura Lakes, the 1990s gated community along the western edge, plus the older Eastern Shores neighborhood. That housing reality drives almost every operational decision on a remodel here.

City of Aventura Government Center — building permit submittal counter and eTRAKiT online review

Permit jurisdiction. Aventura is one of the few Miami-Dade municipalities that runs its own building department rather than routing permits through Miami-Dade RER. The City of Aventura Building Division (305-466-8937, permits@cityofaventura.com) handles every permit for renovations inside city limits. Submittals go through eTRAKiT online; within two business days the city emails confirmation that the application is in review or requests missing items. Plans are reviewed against the Florida Building Code 8th Edition, the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone test protocols, and the city's own zoning code. The City Building Division publishes its full permit checklist publicly, and we use it on every Aventura submittal.

Aventura high-rise condo tower with architectural change packet and certificate of insurance documentation

Condo board approval is required as part of the permit packet. This is the single biggest workflow difference between an Aventura condo remodel and a single-family permit anywhere else in the county. The City explicitly states: "Remember to submit a letter from your condo association approving work being done at your unit with your permit applications." We coordinate the board approval letter alongside the city permit application: board package, scope of work, contractor information, certificate of insurance, and the architectural change form. If the renovation impacts plumbing or electrical that crosses to other units, the association almost always requires a licensed contractor on file.

Active Aventura jobsite with posted permit card and licensed-contractor signage at the unit entry

$500 maintenance threshold. Aventura is unusually clear about when a permit is required: any general maintenance or repair exceeding $500 in labor and materials triggers permitting, plus any electrical work (including ceiling fans), any plumbing fixture change (toilet or sink), water heater or A/C replacement, or any flooring installation requiring soundproofing documentation. For a real bathroom or kitchen remodel here, the permit is mandatory and a contractor registered with the City Building Division is mandatory. We are.

Williams Island private-island enclave waterfront with high-rise condominium tower stock on Maule Lake

Neighborhoods we work in across Aventura. Williams Island is the city's signature private-island enclave: 80 acres of gated waterfront on Maule Lake and Dumfoundling Bay, nine high-rise condominium buildings, plus the low-rise Mediterranean Village. The kitchen and bathroom expectations on a Williams Island unit map to a Tier 04 finish ladder: integrated panel-front Sub-Zero refrigeration, Wolf or Miele cooking, freestanding tubs in primary baths, and book-matched stone slab features. Aventura Lakes is the gated SFH community between Country Club Drive and the FEC tracks. 1990s build, two-story footprints, single-master layouts that often justify a primary-bath gut and an open-concept kitchen rebuild as a paired project. Hidden Bay (3370 Hidden Bay Drive, 20 stories, 371 units, 2000) and Eastern Shores along NE 188th sit in the mid-tier tower band. Tier 03 finishes are common, with smart appliance integration and full primary-bath rebuilds clients now ask for as standard. The Peninsula at the Intracoastal and the Echo / Bellini / Privé corridor sit in the newer high-rise band.

HVHZ-rated impact glass assembly on Aventura tower facade with Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance documentation

HVHZ envelope work and FEMA flood-zone considerations. Aventura sits inside Miami-Dade's High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, which means any window or sliding-door replacement on a tower facade or a single-family exterior must use assemblies with a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance (NOA) covering HVHZ test protocols. The Florida Building Code 8th Edition sets the test standard, and the city checks NOA documentation as part of permit review. Properties in Zone AE along the Intracoastal (and Zone VE on the easternmost edge) also fall under the FEMA substantial improvement rule: if the cost of a remodel exceeds 50% of the structure's pre-improvement value, the entire structure has to be brought up to current flood code, which on a coastal tower can mean elevation work, BFE-aware mechanical placement, and full envelope upgrade. Most condo-unit-level remodels don't trigger SI; whole-building structural work and ground-floor renovations sometimes do. We flag this on the first walkthrough so the budget reflects reality before contracts are signed.

PROPERTY TYPES

Property types we work in across Aventura.

The Aventura housing stock breaks into three operational categories, and the remodel approach differs for each.

High-rise and mid-rise condominium units.

This is the bulk of Aventura's housing: Williams Island towers, Echo, Hidden Bay, Eastern Shores, Privé, Bellini, the Country Club Drive corridor. A condo unit remodel runs through three layered approval steps: building association architectural review, City of Aventura permit, and trade-specific permits for plumbing, electrical, and HVAC. Freight elevator scheduling, slab penetration restrictions on through-floor plumbing, soundproofing documentation for any hard flooring, and quiet-hours work windows all factor into the project plan. We've done full kitchen and bathroom gut work in tower units where the freight schedule allows two trips a day max; the project plan is built around it from week one.

Aventura Lakes single-family.

Two-story SFH on small lots inside the gated community. The 1990s build means original tile bathrooms, beige-era kitchens, and aluminum sliders that get replaced with NOA-stamped impact glazing on most renovations. The Aventura Lakes HOA has design-review submittal requirements separate from the city permit; we handle both packets in parallel.

Eastern Shores and older single-family pockets.

Smaller pre-1990s footprints along the eastern edge, often updated piecemeal over the years. These benefit most from full kitchen and bathroom remodels because the existing layouts assume a smaller household and the original mechanicals are at end of useful life.

Williams Island tower primary bathroom remodel — frameless glass shower and freestanding tub

Williams Island primary bath gut, 16th-floor unit.

Full demolition of the existing 1990s primary bath, relocation of the toilet stack within the original wet-wall envelope, frameless glass walk-in shower with linear drain, freestanding tub with floor-mounted matte-black filler, double floating vanity with under-cabinet LED, large-format porcelain wall and floor tile in a book-matched pattern. Tier 04 finish ladder. This is the Williams Island primary-bath rebuild tower owners typically request. Project ran 9 weeks from demo to final walkthrough; freight elevator scheduling and the Williams Island association architectural review were the longest fixed-time inputs. Illustrative — composite of typical Williams Island bathroom scope.

Aventura Lakes two-story single-family whole-home renovation — open-concept kitchen and impact glazing

Aventura Lakes whole-home, 3,400 sqft.

Two-story single-family in the gated community: kitchen open-concept rebuild taking the wall down between kitchen and breakfast room, primary bath gut, secondary bath refresh, full interior repaint, hardwood floor refinish on the lower level, replacement of original aluminum sliders with NOA-stamped impact glazing across the rear elevation. Project ran 4 months end-to-end. The small bathroom remodel aventura clients often add to the secondary scope was included as part of the multi-room package. Illustrative — composite of typical Aventura Lakes whole-home scope.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

  • Do you charge for the consultation or site visit?

    No. Free quote, no trip fee. We come to your property in Aventura, walk the scope with you, ask the questions that drive accurate pricing, and follow up with a written estimate. There is no obligation and no pressure.

  • How fast can you come out for a site visit?

    Most Aventura projects get a site visit scheduled within 3–5 business days. Same-day appointments are sometimes available depending on calendar. This refers to the appointment, not the remodel itself. The remodel runs weeks to months depending on scope.

  • What does your warranty cover?

    Every project comes with a written labor warranty, 1–2 years depending on scope, spelled out in the contract before signing. The warranty document is part of the final walkthrough handoff. We don't make you ask for it.

  • How do I verify your license and permit history before signing?

    Florida CGC license GCG1524886 is verifiable at MyFloridaLicense.com. Search by license number and the active status, board, and expiration date come up. Permit history is public on BuildZoom and on the City of Aventura permit search. We invite verification before signing. That's how a real general contractor relationship starts.

  • How long does a permit take in Aventura?

    The City of Aventura Building Division acknowledges submittal within two business days via eTRAKiT, then runs plan review against the Florida Building Code 8th Edition and zoning code. Straightforward interior remodels (kitchen rework, bathroom gut, no structural change) typically clear initial review in 2–4 weeks if the application is complete and the board approval letter is included. Projects involving structural alterations, change of use, or revisions to the original plans run longer because each correction or revision restarts a review cycle.

  • Does a condo unit remodel in Aventura need board approval before the city permit?

    The board approval letter is part of the permit application. The City of Aventura specifies that the condo association approval letter must be included with the permit packet. Practically, this means board approval and the city permit run in parallel. We coordinate the board package (scope of work, contractor information, certificate of insurance, architectural change form) and submit the city application once the board has signed off. A bathroom contractor aventura owners hire on a tower project should be able to handle both packets simultaneously; if a contractor can't articulate the board-then-city sequence on the first call, that's a red flag.

  • Does Aventura require impact-rated windows under HVHZ?

    Yes. Aventura is inside the Miami-Dade High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, which means any window or exterior-door replacement must use assemblies carrying a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance (NOA) covering HVHZ test protocols. The City verifies NOA documentation as part of permit review. On condo towers the building's declaration may also specify approved manufacturers and frame profiles. We check the building's spec before ordering.
