Why Penhallow Remodeling Miami Is Miami’s Preferred General Contractor Company
Trevor Nash runs our Miami operations with one non-negotiable standard: the price you sign is the price you pay. Homeowners across Miami, from the 1950s concrete block homes in Little Havana to the glass towers along Brickell, hire us because the Kingswell standard has been our operating rule since 2004. Written price before work starts. Real arrival window. Cleaner job site than we found. Written guarantee on every project.
We spend most of our weeks on Kitchen Remodeling in Miami, bathroom remodels, and whole-home projects in Miami proper. Our crews know what a CBS wall looks like behind the drywall. We know which Hialeah homes still have original 1970s flat concrete tile roofs that leak during afternoon thunderstorms. We know the difference between a condo board approval in Edgewater and a single-family permit in Allapattah. That local knowledge doesn’t cost extra, but it prevents exactly the problems that have burned Miami homeowners before.
Styles & brands we work with
Hire a General Contractor in Miami
When you hire a General Contractor in Miami, you’re paying for more than labor and materials. You’re paying for someone who knows Miami-Dade County code, pulls the right permits, books the right inspections, and documents the compliance that can affect your insurance later. A kitchen remodel in Miami typically runs $16,520 to $53,100, depending on cabinet line, countertop material, and whether we’re moving plumbing or load-bearing walls. A bathroom remodel runs $10,620 to $33,040.
What A Compliant Written Scope Includes
Before we touch a single cabinet, you get a written scope of work that lists every product approval number that matters. That means the HVHZ-rated windows with their Notice of Acceptance, the tie-down connectors for any structural work, and the corrosion-resistant fasteners on exterior furring strips. A cheap quote that leaves those line items out is not cheaper. It’s just a permit rejection waiting to happen.
How We Handle The Permit And Inspection Steps
We pull permits, schedule the inspections, and stand there while the inspector walks the job. When the final sign-off notes HVHZ compliance, we hand you the documentation package. That matters when you file a wind-mitigation credit with your insurer, and it matters if you ever sell the home.
General Contractor Services in Miami
General Contractor in Miami work at our company covers kitchen remodeling, bathroom remodeling, whole-home remodels, room additions, and garage conversions. If you’re adding square footage in a concrete block home, the scope starts with the structural engineer, not the sledgehammer. In Miami, you rarely frame with wood; you anchor into concrete block with a hammer drill. That changes the labor, the fasteners, and the paperwork. A home addition is a serious project, typically $53,100 to $153,400, and it should come with a written schedule of values, not a handshake.
Kitchen And Bath Work In Miami’s Housing Stock
Most Miami kitchens we remodel sit in 1950s-70s CBS homes. The original plumbing is often set in a slab foundation, which means moving a sink can mean cutting concrete. We quote that accurately before the first cut happens. We install KraftMaid and Wellborn cabinetry, Cambria and Caesarstone countertops, Kohler and Moen fixtures. These are recognized trade brands, and they carry warranties that stack on top of our own 365-Day Done Right Promise.
Impact Windows And Roof Work
Impact window installation in Miami runs $9,440 to $29,500. We use PGT and CGI products approved in Miami-Dade’s Product Control database. Roof replacement runs $9,440 to $23,600, and we never quote a roof without verifying the existing roof-to-wall connections meet HVHZ uplift ratings. Leaving that check out is how you get a permit rejected and a roof that fails at the exact moment you need it most.

Trusted Brands We Service in Miami
We source materials from brands that carry their own warranties alongside our written guarantee, because layers of protection matter in Miami. For fencing and outdoor projects, we also offer Miami Master Halco service. You’ll see Cambria quartz in our countertop quotes, which carries a lifetime warranty. For impact windows and doors, we work with PGT and CGI, both of which have products listed in Miami-Dade’s Product Control system. We keep 60+ inches of annual rainfall and 90% humidity in mind on every exterior specification, because salt air ruins the wrong fasteners in under two years. If a product doesn’t carry the documentation Miami-Dade requires, it doesn’t go in our quote.
Common General Contractor Problems We See in Miami Homes
- Rebar corrosion and concrete spalling on older CBS structures. Miami’s salt air and humidity get into concrete block over decades and rust the steel inside. We find it when walls come open during remodels, and it needs to be addressed before you tile over it.
- Missing or outdated roof-to-wall tie-downs. Many 1950s-70s homes in Little Havana and Allapattah were built before current HVHZ uplift standards. A re-roof without a tie-down retrofit is a waste of money, and the permit reviewer will flag it.
- Failed inspections from missing NOAs on impact windows. Miami-Dade requires a Notice of Acceptance for every impact window and door product. Contractors who skip county product approvals get stop-work orders on Brickell and Edgewater condo projects all the time.
- Rusted drywall screws on exterior CBS furring strips. Salt air plus 90% humidity destroys standard fasteners in about two years. Stucco cracks follow. We specify corrosion-resistant fasteners on every exterior connection, in writing, before work starts.

FAQs About General Contractor in Miami
For a truly interior remodel, like a kitchen or bath with no structural changes and no window or door replacement, HVHZ-rated materials are not typically required. The requirement kicks in when you touch the building envelope: windows, doors, roof, exterior walls, or any structural connection. Miami-Dade County applies High Velocity Hurricane Zone wind-load standards to every structural component, and product approvals must be listed in the county’s Product Control database. If your remodel includes impact windows or any load-bearing work, yes, the HVHZ documentation goes in your scope. Call (850) 988-7559 and we’ll tell you exactly which line items apply to your specific job.
An NOA is Miami-Dade County’s official product approval document that certifies a specific window or door product passed HVHZ wind-load testing. The county requires it for every impact window and door installed in Miami. What your contractor should be doing is confirming the product they’re quoting has a valid, current NOA number, and including that number in the written scope of work. Let’s say you’re swapping windows in a Brickell condo. If the product lacks an NOA, the inspection fails, the county issues a stop-work order, and you now own windows you can’t legally leave installed. We include the NOA for every PGT and CGI product we quote. For an exact quote, call (850) 988-7559, free estimates.
You should receive three things: the signed permit with final inspection approval, the HVHZ compliance documentation for the roofing system and tie-downs, and a wind-mitigation report your insurer can use to credit your premium. We also include the specific product approvals for any Simpson Strong-Tie connectors or secondary moisture barriers we install. If a roofer can’t produce those documents, you’re missing the part that protects you financially. On a 1960s CBS home in Allapattah, our crew found hairline cracks in the original flat concrete tile roof, added a full tie-down retrofit with county-approved Simpson Strong-Tie connectors and a secondary moisture barrier, and the final sign-off noted the HVHZ compliance. That’s what the paperwork should look like. Call (850) 988-7559 for a written estimate.
A draw schedule breaks your $53,100+ home addition into phases, and you pay as each phase completes and passes inspection. Typical phases are demolition, foundation and slab, framing and structural, rough-in, and finishes. The engineer inspection line exists because in Miami, structural work on concrete block homes must be inspected by a licensed engineer at the foundation and framing stages, not just by the county inspector. That inspection is your protection against shoddy structural anchoring. We write the full draw schedule into your contract before work starts, including exactly what triggers each payment. Call (850) 988-7559 and we’ll walk you through a sample schedule.
The honest answer is that patch jobs on 1970s flat concrete tile roofs in Hialeah are usually a losing game. Hairline cracks let water in during every afternoon thunderstorm, and once water reaches the underlayment or the wood below, you’ve got rot. Current Miami-Dade code also requires that any roof work address the existing roof-to-wall connections for HVHZ uplift ratings, which a simple patch won’t do. If you patch, you’ll likely be back in the same spot before the next rainy season. We will inspect the roof, check the tie-downs, and tell you straight whether a repair buys you time or whether replacement is the only path to a passing inspection. The inspection and quote are free. Call (850) 988-7559.
