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 handle (and what we don't).

We handle full kitchen remodels, full bathroom remodels, whole-home renovations, home additions, and new construction across North Miami Beach. The remodeling scope is the full footprint: cabinetry, countertops, plumbing rough-in, electrical, drywall, flooring, tile, paint, fixtures, and the permit pull. Five scope bands, full-only.

We do not take on:

  • Single-fixture installs, vanity swaps, or faucet replacements
  • Paint-only refreshes, drywall patches, or fan installs
  • Gutter cleaning, fence work, or roof repair as a standalone scope
  • Cabinet installation as a standalone (only as part of a full kitchen remodel)
  • Any handyman or single-trade visit

If your project is a kitchen, bathroom, whole-home, or addition in North Miami Beach, we want to talk. If it's a small repair, we'll tell you upfront we're not the right fit.

NORTH MIAMI BEACH CONTEXT

What "remodeling in North Miami Beach" actually involves.

Post-WWII single-family CBS home in North Miami Beach with mature landscape, representative of the 1940s–1960s development wave

The City of North Miami Beach Building Department runs its own permitting and inspections out of 17050 NE 19th Avenue (305-948-2965), open Monday through Friday from 7 AM. North Miami Beach is one of Miami-Dade County's incorporated municipalities, which means residential permits route through the city — not through Miami-Dade Regulatory and Economic Resources, and not through the City of North Miami next door. Effective December 31, 2020, the city adopted the revised Florida Building Code 8th Edition, which incorporates portions of the International Building Code. Environmental, sewer-capacity, and tree-removal review still triggers Miami-Dade DERM coordination at the county level. A practical note that catches homeowners by surprise: the city will not approve a permit application until any outstanding building violations on the property are cured and upfront fees are paid. We check that record before signing the contract.

The work-hour ordinance matters operationally on every NMB jobsite. The city prohibits loud or annoying noise between 8 PM and 7 AM, and special-equipment work — saw-cutting, jackhammers, concrete cutting — between 5 PM and 7 AM weekdays or between 5 PM and 9 AM Sundays without written permission from the City Building Inspector. We schedule heavy demolition and concrete work inside the allowed window. For the Eastern Shores condo towers and the dense single-family blocks where neighbor proximity is tight, that scheduling discipline is the difference between a smooth job and a complaint cycle that can stop the work.

The housing stock reflects two distinct waves. The first is the post-World War II single-family expansion: NMB's population grew from 871 in 1940 to 21,405 by 1960, and most of the detached single-family inventory dates to that era — concrete-block-and-stucco construction, modest 1,200–2,200 square-foot floor plates, original galvanized supply lines that need re-piping, and aluminum sliders that benefit from upgrading to NOA-rated impact glazing. Of NMB's 18,023 total housing units, 39% are detached single-family. The second wave is the early-1970s condominium era along the Intracoastal corridor — Eastern Shores towers like Coral Isle East (built 1972) and the Winston Towers cluster, mid-rise concrete construction with shared envelope responsibility and stricter board-approval workflows. Only 4.6% of all NMB housing was built after the year 2000, which means most of what we work on carries decades-old electrical, plumbing, and waterproofing systems that need full upgrade in a gut remodel — not partial patching.

North Miami Beach sits inside the Miami-Dade High-Velocity Hurricane Zone. Every window, exterior door, and roofing assembly we install carries a current Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance documenting impact resistance to FBC 8th Edition Test Application Standards (TAS 201, 202, 203). NOA numbers expire annually and have to be verified at purchase and at delivery. We pull current NOA documentation before product is ordered, every time.

The homeowner profile in North Miami Beach is its own consideration. About 49.4% of NMB's housing units are renter-occupied, which means roughly half of our NMB inquiries come from landlords upgrading rental-unit kitchens and bathrooms before re-list, and the other half from owner-occupiers improving the home they live in. Both audiences run the same scope-gate filter — full kitchen, full bathroom, whole-home, additions, new construction — we just frame the timeline conversation differently. A landlord cycling between tenants needs the project on a defined turnover window. An owner-occupier on a 1960s ranch is usually moving out for the duration of a multi-room scope.

Eastern Shores canal-front single-family home in North Miami Beach with private dock, representative of the waterfront housing stock
EASTERN SHORES & WATERFRONT STOCK

Eastern Shores and the waterfront stock: a different conversation.

A meaningful slice of North Miami Beach's housing inventory sits on canal frontage or directly on the Intracoastal — most notably the Eastern Shores neighborhood, where the west side is single-family canal-front with 80- to 200-foot boat docks and the east side is low-rise condo and townhouse. That stock changes the conversation for a remodel.

Three things matter on waterfront and canal-front jobs that don't matter on inland single-family. First, salt-air and humidity exposure: cabinet finishes, hinge hardware, fixture metallurgy, and tile-substrate waterproofing all need to be specified for marine-adjacent conditions. A finish package that holds up fine in Hialeah will degrade fast on Eastern Shores. Second, tidal and king-tide flood risk: properties near the canals and the Intracoastal carry FEMA flood-zone designations that affect substantial-improvement thresholds, building elevation, and insurance, so we pull the current Flood Insurance Rate Map for the property before scoping a whole-home remodel. Third, dock and seawall coordination: when a remodel scope touches the rear elevation — adding a primary suite, expanding a kitchen toward the water, replacing exterior glass — the dock, seawall, and any existing waterfront permits become part of the conversation.

For the high-rise mid-rise condo stock — the Eastern Shores towers and the Winston Towers cluster — we operate the way high-rise contractors should: board-approval letter pulled before the permit application, freight elevator booking windows scheduled at the front of the job, work hours respected per the NMB ordinance and the building's house rules (typically tighter than the city ordinance), and protection on shared-corridor surfaces from move-in to move-out.

KITCHEN REMODELING

Kitchen remodel North Miami Beach.

Full kitchen remodels are the largest share of our work. A kitchen remodeler North Miami Beach homeowners interview should handle every phase — design, selections, permitting, demolition through punch-out — under one license and one project manager. Our kitchen remodeling North Miami Beach scope runs four published tiers from $20K to $300K+, depending on cabinet line, stone selection, appliance package, and whether structural walls move. The full tier breakdown is on the kitchen remodeling tentpole.

For Eastern Shores condo units in the early-1970s towers, kitchen remodels typically run $50K–$150K — driven by board approval, freight elevator coordination, slab penetration limits in post-tensioned concrete, and the work-hour ordinance compressing the build day. For inland 1950s–60s single-family, kitchen scope runs $30K–$100K depending on whether walls open up. On both stock types, the typical scope includes a re-pipe of the kitchen wet wall (cast-iron drain replacement and PEX or copper supply lines), an electrical service upgrade if the homeowner is moving from gas to induction or adding a dual-zone refrigeration column, and an HVHZ NOA-rated impact assembly on the kitchen window if it's getting replaced as part of the scope.

BATHROOM REMODELING

Bathroom remodel North Miami Beach.

A bathroom remodeler North Miami Beach homeowners can rely on is one that respects what's behind the wall — the original galvanized supply lines, the cast-iron drain stacks, the cement-board substrate that's been hiding moisture for thirty years. Our bathroom remodeling North Miami Beach scope runs four published tiers from $8K to $130K+. We use ANSI A118.10-rated waterproofing systems on every wet wall, full-height. The full tier breakdown is on the bathroom remodeling tentpole; cost ranges in the bathroom remodel cost guide.

On a 1962 inland CBS ranch hall bath, the typical scope lands in our Tier 01–02 range ($8K–$30K) — the existing waste line is often reusable if the fixture layout is preserved, and the question is whether the existing shower base needs to be re-pitched and whether the existing vanity supply lines need to be brought up to code. On an Eastern Shores condo primary bath, we're more often in Tier 02–03 ($30K–$80K) — frameless glass shower enclosure, large-format porcelain to ceiling, custom 60-inch double vanity with quartz top, and dedicated 20-amp GFCI circuits.

GENERAL CONTRACTOR

General contractor in North Miami Beach.

Beyond kitchens and bathrooms, we handle the full GC scope across NMB. Whole-home and multi-room remodeling runs $150–$400/sqft, with most projects landing $200K–$800K — wall removals, ceiling reframes, full re-pipe, full re-wire, structural beam installation when needed. Home additions cover room additions, second-story, garage conversions, and ADUs; permit-jurisdiction handled at the City of NMB level, with FAR setbacks and lot-coverage limits checked before design lock. New construction is custom single-family on infill or vacant lots — architect coordination through certificate of occupancy, FBC 8th Edition compliance, and HVHZ envelope detailing standard.

Operationally, every NMB project routes through the same six-phase process: discovery and site visit, proposal and scope contract, permit submittal, demolition, trade rough-in and inspection sequence, finishes and final inspection. Written proposal before signing. Written 1–2 year labor warranty in the contract. The phase that varies most by city is permit submittal — North Miami Beach's residential interior renovation track moves through the city's department directly, while additions and new construction run through the same counter with a heavier review cycle. More on the our process page.

FAQ

Questions homeowners ask before a North Miami Beach remodel.

  • 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. No trip fee, ever. You only pay when work begins, and the price — scope, timeline, and tier band — is in the contract before signing.

  • How fast can you schedule a site visit in North Miami Beach?

    Same-day site visits are usually available. Most consultations land within 3–5 business days. For an active full kitchen or full bathroom project the discovery and design phase then runs 1–4 weeks before any work begins, so the realistic call-to-construction-start runway is 6–12 weeks once permitting and selections are factored in.

  • Do you offer a warranty?

    Yes. Every project includes a written 1–2 year labor warranty in the contract, plus manufacturer warranties on cabinetry, stone, fixtures, appliances, and waterproofing systems. 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 your license?

    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.

  • What are the work-hour rules on a North Miami Beach jobsite?

    The city ordinance prohibits loud or annoying noise between 8 PM and 7 AM, and special-equipment work — saws, jackhammers, concrete cutting — between 5 PM and 7 AM weekdays or between 5 PM and 9 AM Sundays without written permission from the City Building Inspector. We schedule the noisy phases of the build inside the allowed window. For condo work in the Eastern Shores towers, the building's house rules are typically tighter than the city ordinance — we follow whichever is stricter.

  • Does North Miami Beach handle its own permits, or does it route through Miami-Dade County?

    The City of North Miami Beach runs its own Building Department at 17050 NE 19th Avenue (305-948-2965). Residential permits go to the city, not to Miami-Dade RER, and not to the City of North Miami next door. Environmental, sewer-capacity, and tree-removal items still trigger Miami-Dade DERM coordination at the county level.

  • My condo board has its own approval process. How do you handle that?

    The condo association approval letter is part of the city's permit application package — the city expects it. We coordinate the board package up front: the unit owner's notice, the contractor license and insurance certificates, the scope drawings, and the work-hour and freight-elevator commitments. A typical Eastern Shores tower board takes 2–6 weeks to issue approval; we sequence the city permit submission to land right behind it.

  • My property is canal-front in Eastern Shores. What changes about the remodel?

    Three things. First, finish materials need to be marine-grade for the salt-air exposure — a standard inland-house spec won't hold up on the canal. Second, FEMA flood zone: we check the property's current Flood Insurance Rate Map designation before scoping a whole-home remodel, and if the project crosses the substantial-improvement threshold, the entire structure has to come up to current code. Third, dock and seawall: if the scope touches the rear elevation, the existing waterfront permits and the seawall condition become part of the design conversation.
