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. No small jobs. What we take on across Hialeah Gardens:

  1. Full kitchen remodel — gut + rebuild
  2. Full bathroom remodel — gut + rebuild
  3. Whole-home renovation — multi-room remodel
  4. Home additions — room addition, second-story, garage conversion, ADU
  5. Custom new construction — on infill or vacant lots

What we don't take on: single-fixture installs, vanity swaps, paint-only refreshes, drywall patches, fan installs, gutter cleaning, roof repair as a standalone scope, cabinet installation as a standalone scope, or any handyman or single-trade visit. If your project is a kitchen, bathroom, whole-home, or addition in Hialeah Gardens, we want to talk. If it's a small repair, we'll tell you upfront we're not the right fit.

SERVICE BANDS

Service bands in Hialeah Gardens.

01

Full kitchen remodel(the most-requested Hialeah Gardens project)

A full kitchen remodel hialeah gardens scope on a 1980s single-family home typically lands in Tier 02 to Tier 03 of our published kitchen remodeling Miami tier ladder — $40K–$120K depending on cabinet line, stone selection, and whether the layout opens up by removing a non-bearing partition or adds an island. Common scope: cabinet replacement (full custom or semi-custom), quartz or quartzite countertops, full backsplash, undermount sink, dedicated 20-amp small-appliance circuits, range hood ducted to exterior, dishwasher rough-in if not already present, and 3/4" engineered hardwood or large-format porcelain tile underfoot. Family kitchens here often expand into the adjacent dining or breakfast room and add an island that doubles as casual seating for extended family.

A kitchen remodeler hialeah gardens owners hire should walk the layout with you, ask how the kitchen actually gets used during a Sunday family lunch, and price the scope honestly against the four published tier bands. Kitchen remodeling hialeah gardens projects are managed by a dedicated project manager from demo through final inspection. Kitchen cabinets hialeah gardens scope is part of the full remodel — we do not install cabinets as a standalone job. See the kitchen remodel cost breakdown for Miami for tier-by-tier specifics, and the kitchen tentpole walks through the full $20K–$300K+ ladder.

02

Full bathroom remodel

A full bathroom remodel hialeah gardens scope on a 1980s ranch hall bath or master bath typically lands in Tier 02 — $15K–$35K — per our bathroom remodeling Miami tier ladder. Common scope on a bathroom remodeling hialeah gardens job: full tile demolition to substrate, Schluter-Kerdi waterproofing on shower walls and curbed pan, 12×24 or larger porcelain tile, new tub or zero-entry shower pan, floating or freestanding vanity, brushed-finish fixtures (chrome shows hard-water spotting in this water profile), code-compliant venting sized to the room, and GFCI-protected circuits.

A bathroom remodeler hialeah gardens homeowners verify is licensed, registered with the City, insured, and pulling permits is the bar. Cosmetic-only work without permit pulls is not work we take on. The bathroom tentpole walks through the four tier bands from $8K through $130K+ — see the bathroom remodel cost breakdown for Miami for the tier-by-tier scope reality. Active build typically runs four to six weeks for a single bathroom in Hialeah Gardens, longer if the layout changes or the rough-in moves.

03

Whole-home renovation(for owners staying long-term)

For Hialeah Gardens owners who plan to stay ten or more years, a whole-home gut on a 1,500–2,200 square-foot single-family runs $200K–$500K depending on tier and scope depth, per our home remodeling Miami framework — roughly $150–$400 per square foot. Scope often includes a re-pipe of the original galvanized supply lines, electrical service upgrade to 200A, NOA-rated window package across the envelope, and HVAC replacement alongside the finish-level kitchen and bathroom work. Home remodeling hialeah gardens projects this size are rebuilt on the same six-phase project plan we run on every gut remodel.

04

Home additions

Hialeah Gardens single-family lots — the majority of the housing stock — frequently have room for a footprint expansion. Common home additions hialeah gardens scope: primary-suite addition off the back of a ranch, second-story addition over a single-story footprint, garage conversion to ADU or in-law suite, screened pool addition with engineered footings. Engineered foundations and a separate permit class apply — see the home additions Miami page for the full framework.

05

New construction

Less common than in larger-lot Miami-Dade cities, but possible on infill lots. New construction hialeah gardens scope follows the framework on our new construction page — single-family ground-up, FBC 8th Edition, HVHZ-rated envelope, FEMA flood-zone determination at the start of the design phase.

06

General contractor

When Gaven Constructions runs a general contractor hialeah gardens project, you get a single point of accountability — preconstruction planning, permit management through the City Building Department, coordination of all licensed specialty trades, weekly written project status, change order documentation, final inspection prep, and a written 1–2 year labor warranty.

HIALEAH GARDENS CONTEXT

What makes a remodel here different.

Single-family detached home in Hialeah Gardens with concrete-block construction representative of the dominant 1970s–1990s build wave
Posted City of Hialeah Gardens building permit at active jobsite

Permit jurisdiction: City of Hialeah Gardens, not Miami-Dade RER.

Hialeah Gardens runs its own Building Department out of City Hall. That matters. Hialeah Gardens is one of Miami-Dade's incorporated municipalities, which means residential permits go through the city — not through Miami-Dade Regulatory and Economic Resources (RER). The Building Department staff is reachable Monday through Friday from 8 AM to 5 PM at (305) 558-4114 ext. 221. The City requires every contractor on a permit application to carry license and registration with both Miami-Dade County and the State of Florida, an original insurance certificate addressed to the City of Hialeah Gardens showing expiration date, and a $25 non-refundable annual administration fee on file. Surveys submitted with the permit packet must be certified and less than six months old. Depending on scope, additional approvals may be required from DERM, Fire, Public Works, Planning, or DCF before the application moves into review. We've handled this exact workflow on Miami-Dade municipal projects since 2015.

HOA approval letter required for governed properties.

For any property inside an HOA-governed community, the City explicitly requires a letter of approval from the homeowner association describing the scope of work allowed, submitted with the permit packet. Same applies to condos and townhouses. We coordinate the HOA letter alongside the city permit application so the two packets move in parallel and the timeline doesn't stretch. For freestanding single-family homes outside HOA-governed sub-communities, the only approval that matters is the City permit itself. That's the housing reality for most of Hialeah Gardens.

Housing stock: single-family-dominant, 1970s–1990s build wave.

Hialeah Gardens is single-family country at the city scale. According to NeighborhoodScout data, single-family detached homes account for 39.81% of housing units — the largest single category — followed by larger apartment complexes at 37.04% and mobile homes at 9.93%. The detached single-family stock is concentrated in neighborhoods like Hialeah Gardens West, where roughly 91% of residential real estate was built between 1970 and 1999. The city itself was incorporated in December 1948 — one of Miami-Dade's older municipalities — but stayed largely rural until a 1968 master land-use and zoning plan kicked off the residential build wave that produced today's housing stock. Population grew 148% in the 1990s alone, from 7,752 in 1990 to over 19,000 by 2000. The mean detached single-family value sits around $438,929 (2023), with median household income at roughly $65,439 and a 61.2% homeownership rate. For our work, that profile shapes the typical scope: full kitchen and full bathroom gut remodels on 1,200–2,400 square-foot single-family homes built between the late 1960s and the late 1990s, whole-home renovations on properties owners plan to stay in for the long haul, and home additions where families need more room without selling and starting over. Common renovation triggers include 1970s–80s galvanized supply lines that need re-piping, original aluminum sliders that should be upgraded to NOA-rated impact glazing, and electrical panels sized for a different era of appliance load.

Spanish-language community, family-focused renovation market.

Hialeah Gardens has the highest percentage of Spanish speakers of any city in the United States — 95.69% of residents speak Spanish at home as a first language, per the most recent Census data, with neighboring Hialeah ranking second. The community is 96.2% Hispanic, with a median age of 45.1 and 50.2% married-couple households. Family kitchens that handle real daily cooking and multigenerational gatherings — not Instagram-aesthetic showpieces — are the lifestyle priority that shapes finish decisions on most kitchens we build here.

HVHZ envelope work and FBC 8th Edition compliance.

Hialeah Gardens sits inside Miami-Dade's High-Velocity Hurricane Zone. Any window or sliding-door replacement on a single-family exterior must use assemblies carrying a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance covering HVHZ test protocols. The Florida Building Code 8th Edition sets the test standard, and the City verifies NOA documentation as part of permit review. We pull current NOA documentation before any product is ordered.

PROPERTY TYPES

Property types we work in across Hialeah Gardens.

The Hialeah Gardens housing stock breaks into three operational categories.

Single-family detached, 1970s–1990s.

The dominant stock — concrete block construction on small-to-medium suburban lots, three-bedroom and four-bedroom layouts, attached garages, mature landscape. This is the typical Hialeah Gardens remodel: full kitchen gut, master and hall bath rebuilds, sometimes paired with a primary-suite addition off the back of the footprint.

Townhouse and attached single-family.

Smaller pockets along Okeechobee Road and inside HOA-governed sub-communities. Townhouse remodels add the HOA approval letter to the permit packet — same general contractor hialeah gardens process, with a paperwork layer on top.

Multi-family rental investment.

Larger apartment complexes account for over a third of the city's housing units. Investor-side gut renovations on rental units (kitchen + bathroom + flooring + paint) are a recurring scope band — value-add finishes, durable material choices, fast turnover schedules.

What you won't find in Hialeah Gardens that you'd find on the coast: high-rise condo corridors, oceanfront properties, or country-club-managed communities with formal Architectural Review Boards.

OUR PROCESS

How a Hialeah Gardens project runs from first call to final walkthrough.

Every Hialeah Gardens project follows the same six phases.

  1. 1

    DISCOVERY

    Phone or in-person scope review, free quote, no trip fee. Site visits typically scheduled within 3–5 business days, sometimes same-day when the calendar allows.

  2. 2

    DESIGN AND SCOPE LOCK

    Finish selections, drawings if required, written scope-of-work document, signed contract.

  3. 3

    PERMIT PACKET

    Application through the City of Hialeah Gardens Building Department with all contractor credentials, insurance, surveys, and HOA letter where applicable. We pull the permits; the homeowner doesn't chase paper. Permits are pulled when scope requires them — purely cosmetic refresh inside an existing layout sometimes does not require permit; structural, plumbing rough-in, electrical, or envelope work always does.

  4. 4

    DEMO AND ROUGH-IN

    Site protection, demolition, mechanical and plumbing rough-in, framing, drywall, City inspections at each rough-in milestone.

  5. 5

    FINISH AND TRADE-OUT

    Tile, cabinets, countertops, plumbing fixtures, electrical fixtures, paint, hardware. Final City inspections at each trade phase.

  6. 6

    FINAL WALKTHROUGH AND WARRANTY HANDOFF

    Punch list, owner sign-off, written 1–2 year labor warranty document handed over with the lien releases.

Completed kitchen remodel with white shaker cabinetry, a waterfall-edge island, and stainless steel appliances

Hialeah Gardens single-family kitchen — Tier 02 full gut remodel — 7 weeks.

A 1985 single-family home off NW 87th Avenue: original galley kitchen, 1990s cabinetry past useful life, two-prong outlets in places, undersized range hood vented through a soffit run that lost half its draw. Scope walked through full demolition to studs, removal of one non-bearing partition to open the kitchen to the dining room, semi-custom shaker cabinetry, quartz countertops, full plumbing rough-in for a new island sink, dedicated 20-amp small-appliance circuits, GFCI protection across the run, range hood ducted directly through the soffit to exterior, vinyl-plank flooring continuous from kitchen through dining. The hialeah gardens kitchen remodeler scope here is typical for the city — single-family, family-focused, durable finishes that handle daily cooking. City of Hialeah Gardens permitting and inspections cleared on schedule. Illustrative — composite of typical Hialeah Gardens kitchen scope.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

  • Do you charge for the consultation or site visit?

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

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

    Most Hialeah Gardens 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 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. The warranty document is part of the final walkthrough handoff.

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

    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 — 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.

  • How long does a permit take through the City of Hialeah Gardens for a kitchen or bathroom remodel?

    The City of Hialeah Gardens Building Department reviews permits in-house. Standard residential interior remodel review typically runs 2–4 weeks for a kitchen or bathroom, longer for a whole-home or addition where structural review and DERM environmental review may be triggered. Application requires contractor license + Miami-Dade County registration + State of Florida registration, an original insurance certificate addressed to the City, the $25 annual administration fee on file, and a current certified survey less than six months old. We handle the full packet.

  • Does my Hialeah Gardens home need impact-rated windows under HVHZ?

    Yes. Hialeah Gardens is inside the Miami-Dade County HVHZ. Any window or exterior-door replacement must use assemblies with a current Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance documenting compliance with FBC 8th Edition Test Application Standards. We pull current NOA documentation before any product is ordered.

  • Most Hialeah Gardens homes are single-family — does that simplify the remodel?

    Generally, yes. Without a condo board approval window or a country-club Architectural Review Board, the only approval that matters is the City of Hialeah Gardens permit itself. That removes weeks of front-of-schedule review compared to coastal high-rise or country-club projects. For homes inside HOA-governed sub-communities, the City requires the HOA approval letter as part of the permit packet — we coordinate that letter in parallel so the timeline doesn't stretch.

  • Are you a bathroom remodeler hialeah gardens homeowners can verify is licensed and insured?

    Yes. Florida CGC license GCG1524886, registered with Miami-Dade County, original insurance certificate on file with the City of Hialeah Gardens Building Department, and the $25 annual contractor administration fee paid. Permit history publicly searchable on BuildZoom. Verify all of it before signing.
