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!

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 We Take On

What We Handle, What We Don't

We handle full remodels and new construction only. No small jobs.

  • Full kitchen remodel — complete gut and rebuild
  • Full bathroom remodel — complete gut and rebuild
  • Full home renovation — whole-home gut, multi-room remodel, or condo gut
  • New construction — ground-up custom homes
  • Home additions — primary suite, second-story, garage conversion, ADU, attached guest casita

We don't take on single-fixture replacements, vanity-only swaps, paint-only refreshes, single-room flooring, drywall patching, gutter cleaning, deck repair, pool resurfacing or pool-deck refinishing as standalone scopes, single-trade visits, or any handyman work.

If your project fits the five scope bands above, the next step is a free consultation at the property. If it doesn't, you'll save your time and ours by calling a different contractor.

Local Market

Southwest Ranches, Broward County — Context That Shapes the Remodel

Southwest Ranches building permits — Town Hall CAP Government workflow

Permit jurisdiction.

Southwest Ranches is one of the few Broward municipalities that runs its own building department rather than routing permits through Broward County Building Code Services. Building permitting and inspections are administered by CAP Government, Inc. out of Town Hall at 13400 Griffin Road (954-434-0008, Option 1). Every application goes through CAP's online portal — paper submittals are no longer accepted. Plans get reviewed against the Florida Building Code 8th Edition and the town's own Unified Land Development Code. Zoning and landscape review is handled separately at Town Hall by J.A. Medina, LLC before building review starts. The town also operates ePermits so any companion Broward County permits (environmental, drainage) can be pulled in the same workflow without an extra trip to Fort Lauderdale. We've submitted through this exact stack and know the comment patterns reviewers flag — surveys signed and sealed, asbestos forms on interior renovations, structural calcs from a Florida-licensed engineer where the scope touches load paths. The town's building department publishes its full submittal checklist online, and we use it on every Southwest Ranches application.

Neighborhoods and housing stock.

Southwest Ranches is an estate single-family town. There are no condominiums and no townhome inventory inside the municipal boundary. Lots are 1 acre minimum across most of the footprint, and equestrian zoning overlays are common. Notable neighborhoods include Sunshine Ranches (sometimes called the Hamptons of South Florida by local press, with recent estate sales above $20M and multiple mega-mansions in permit), Landmark Ranch Estates (median sale roughly $5.6M, homes 7,500–13,000 sqft on lots up to 3 acres, built 2005–2021), Rolling Oaks, Mustang Trail (multi-acre buildable lots), Country Estates, and Alamo Country Estates. Median listing price across the town runs $3.42M with average home value around $1.44M, which puts most southwest ranches remodeling services projects firmly in Tier 03–04 estate scope. Pools, pool decks, sport courts, and detached barns or guest casitas are typical site features — we integrate them into whole-home renovation scope when the project crosses interior and exterior systems together.

Regulatory layer — HVHZ and FIRM Zone AH.

Southwest Ranches sits inside Broward County's High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, the same designation that governs Miami-Dade. That means any window or door replacement on an estate exterior must use assemblies with Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance (NOA) documentation covering HVHZ test protocols. The Florida Building Code 8th Edition sets the test standard, and CAP Government checks NOA documentation as part of permit review. The town's flood profile is different from coastal Broward: FEMA Zone AH dominates the FIRM, which means most properties carry a 1% annual chance of shallow ponding (one-to-three feet typical depth) rather than the storm-surge profile coastal Aventura, Hollywood, or Hallandale Beach properties face. Fill, excavation, and grading permits are reviewed for floodplain impact through the town engineering department. If a remodel crosses the FEMA substantial improvement threshold (project cost above 50% of pre-improvement structure value), full flood-code compliance is triggered for the entire structure — a real consideration on whole-home gut renovations of older estate stock. We flag this on the first walkthrough so the budget reflects reality before any contract is signed.

Property Types

Property Types We Work In Across Southwest Ranches

Equestrian estate single-family

1+ acre lots in Sunshine Ranches, Mustang Trail, Country Estates with private barns or stables on site. Renovations here often pair interior remodel work with exterior and grounds coordination.

Custom estate homes 7,500–13,000 sqft

Landmark Ranch Estates and the newer Sunshine Ranches builds. Architect-collaborated kitchens, primary spa suites, butler's pantries, climate-controlled wine rooms.

Teardown-to-new-construction lots

Hancock Road and similar prime corridors where the existing structure is past useful repair and the buildable acreage justifies a custom ground-up build.

Common Questions

Conversion FAQs

Is the consultation actually free?

Yes. We don't charge a trip fee, we don't charge for the on-site walk, and we don't charge for the written proposal that follows. The reason: estate-scope projects are a multi-month commitment, and the right way to start is in person at the property without a meter running.

How fast can you come look at the property?

Same-day site visits are usually available across Southwest Ranches when the calendar lines up. The latest is typically 3–5 business days. Call (786) 397-8380 or send a request through the contact form and we'll confirm the slot.

Do you carry a written warranty?

Yes — 1 to 2 years on labor, written into the contract before signing. Manufacturer warranties on appliances, fixtures, and finish materials pass through directly to the homeowner.

Can I check your license and permit history before signing?

Yes, and you should. Florida CGC license is active and verifiable on the state license portal. Permit history is public on BuildZoom — search by license number. Reviews are public on Google. We invite verification before any contract gets signed. That's how a real general contractor relationship starts.

Southwest Ranches Expertise

Southwest Ranches Expertise FAQs

How long does a permit take through CAP Government in Southwest Ranches?

Plan review on a single-trade permit (kitchen-only, bathroom-only) typically runs 2–4 weeks once the application is complete. Whole-home gut renovations and new construction with full structural / mechanical / electrical / plumbing review can run 8–16 weeks depending on plan completeness and reviewer comment cycles. Submittals through the CAP online portal get acknowledged within 1–2 business days; plan reviewer comments come back in batches.

Does Southwest Ranches require impact windows under HVHZ?

Yes. Southwest Ranches is inside Broward County's High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, the same designation that covers Miami-Dade. Any window or sliding-door replacement must use assemblies with Miami-Dade NOA documentation covering HVHZ test protocols. CAP Government checks NOA paperwork during permit review. Older estate stock built before HVHZ standardization is the most common case where an envelope upgrade triggers significant cost on a whole-home renovation.

What if my Southwest Ranches property is in FEMA Zone AH?

Most of the town is mapped Zone AH — 1% annual chance of shallow ponding, one-to-three feet typical depth. For interior-only kitchen and bathroom remodels this rarely matters because the work doesn't change finished floor elevation or impact the floodplain. For whole-home gut renovations or additions, the FEMA substantial improvement rule applies: if total project cost exceeds 50% of the pre-improvement structure value, the entire structure must be brought up to current flood code. We document scope-cost ratio in the proposal so the SI threshold is visible before contract.

Do you work in Sunshine Ranches, Landmark Ranch Estates, and Rolling Oaks?

Yes — all three are in our active service area along with Mustang Trail, Country Estates, and Alamo Country Estates. Estate-scope projects in Southwest Ranches generally start in the $150K–$500K+ range and run 6–18 months depending on scope band. We coordinate site logistics around equestrian operations, gated-community access, and HOA review where it applies.

Is Gaven Constructions licensed in Southwest Ranches?

Yes. Florida CGC license GCG1524886 is registered and in good standing for work in every Broward municipality. License verification, insurance certificates, and permit history are all available on request. NAHB Remodelers is the industry peer body that publishes the standards we hold our work to.
