Remodeling Company in Miami, FL
Home remodeling in Miami means working with concrete block, hurricane codes, salt air, and 60-plus inches of annual rain. Most homes here are 1950s-70s CBS construction, which changes how we anchor, waterproof, and finish every job. We’re Penhallow Remodeling Miami, and we put your price and your 365-day guarantee in writing before the first cabinet comes out. Call (850) 988-7559 to talk through your project.
Why Miami Homes Are Different
Miami construction is defined by hurricane-hardened high-rise and mid-rise concrete structures built on porous limestone. Corrosive salt air, brutal humidity, and stringent Miami-Dade County wind-load codes demand specialized materials and hypervigilant waterproofing that neighboring cities simply don’t face. You can’t just frame a wall here – wood framing is rare, and most interior work starts with a hammer drill and concrete anchors.
The housing stock splits into two realities. Little Havana and Allapattah are dense with 1950s-70s concrete block stucco homes, many with original flat concrete tile roofs that crack and leak during afternoon thunderstorms. Brickell and Edgewater are modern glass-and-concrete towers where building access, freight elevator scheduling, and condo association rules shape the entire remodel timeline. Either way, the humidity never stops working against you. Moisture barriers, rust-resistant fasteners, and proper flashing aren’t upgrades in Miami – they’re the difference between a five-year remodel and a twenty-year one.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Miami Services
Most Miami homeowners call us for one of two reasons: a full-home refresh led by a general contractor who coordinates every trade, or a kitchen or bathroom remodel where waterproofing and hurricane-code compliance matter more than anywhere else in the state.
General Contractor in Miami
As a General Contractor in Miami, we coordinate the permits, the concrete work, the plumbing, the electrical, and the finish carpentry so you don’t have to chase five separate crews through Miami-Dade’s building department. On a 1960s CBS home in Allapattah, that often means opening walls to find corroded rebar or missing tie-downs before the finish work can even start. We document existing conditions, write the scope, and price it before work begins.
Bathroom Remodeling in Miami
Bathroom Remodeling in Miami is a waterproofing job first and a design job second. With summer humidity sitting near 90 percent, a shower that isn’t properly sealed behind the tile will grow mold inside the wall cavity within two seasons. We use cement board substrate – the moisture-resistant layer behind your tile – and treat every curb, niche, and drain junction as a potential leak point. Written price, written guarantee, same as every Penhallow job.
Kitchen Remodeling in Miami
Kitchen Remodeling in Miami means accounting for concrete-slab floors that make plumbing relocations more involved than in a wood-framed city. Moving a sink from an interior wall to an island in a 1970s CBS home means cutting the slab, not just drilling a floor joist. We plan for that before we quote, so the number you approve doesn’t change when we open the floor. KraftMaid and Wellborn cabinetry, Cambria quartz, and Kohler fixtures are standard in our Miami kitchens.

Home Remodeling in Miami
Most Miami homes were built before modern impact-glass standards and moisture-barrier practices, which means a Home Remodeling project here is as much about correcting what’s behind the walls as it is about the finishes you see. Salt air corrodes, humidity rots, and afternoon thunderstorms find every crack in a 1960s flat concrete roof. We quote the job for what it actually is – a Miami remodel, not a generic one.
Home Remodeling Contractor
Signs you need it
Hairline cracks along concrete block joints, windows that sweat or leak during afternoon downpours, and doors that stick in humid months all signal a home that needs structural attention before cosmetic updates.
What it costs in Miami
Full home remodeling in Miami typically runs $16,520-$53,100 depending on the home’s square footage, the condition of the existing concrete work, and the scope of waterproofing required.
How we do it
We open the walls, document what the salt and humidity have done to the framing and fasteners, then rebuild with rust-resistant materials and moisture barriers before any finish work starts.
Whole House Remodel
Signs you need it
When three or more rooms need work and the roof, windows, and plumbing are all original to a 1950s-70s build, you’re past piecemeal repairs and into whole-house territory.
What it costs in Miami
Whole house remodels in Miami span $53,100-$153,400 depending on whether we’re replacing the roof, upgrading to impact windows, and relocating kitchens or bathrooms on a slab.
How we do it
We sequence the work in phases – structural and envelope first, then rough plumbing and electrical, then drywall, tile, cabinetry, and paint – so you’re never living in more than one construction zone at a time.
Luxury Home Remodeling
Signs you need it
When you want Cambria or Caesarstone counters, custom KraftMaid or Wellborn cabinetry, and a full redesign of a Brickell or Edgewater condo, this is the tier of work we’re quoting.
What it costs in Miami
Luxury home remodeling in Miami starts around $53,100 and goes up from there, driven by the countertop material, cabinet line, and whether freight elevator scheduling in a high-rise complicates the job.
How we do it
We coordinate building access with your condo association, protect the common areas, and install the same trade-brand materials we’d put in a single-family home in Coconut Grove.

Yes. Every structural change, window replacement, and plumbing relocation we do in Miami is permitted and inspected. It’s not optional here, and we quote the permit fees in your written price from day one.

Two things push prices up in Miami faster than anywhere else: the concrete work – every plumbing move on a slab means cutting and repouring – and the hurricane-code upgrades that Miami-Dade inspectors require on nearly every structural opening. That’s why every Penhallow quote is written, not verbal, before work starts. The number you approve is the number on your invoice, backed by our 365-Day Done Right Promise.

FAQs About Remodeling Company in Miami
Most Miami projects start within 2-6 weeks from the signed contract, depending on Miami-Dade County permit turnaround and material lead times. We give you a written start window before you sign, and a live person answers the phone 24/7 if you need updates.
Almost always, yes. Condo associations in Brickell, Edgewater, and similar buildings require renovation plans, insurance certificates, and freight elevator reservations before work begins. We handle that paperwork as part of the job, and we’ll flag any association rules that affect scope or cost during your estimate.
If any part of our work fails inside one year – a leaking shower pan, a cracked seam, a cabinet door that won’t close – we come back and fix it at no charge. It’s written into every Miami contract, and there’s no service call fee, no re-inspection fee, and no argument.
Only if you change the scope. Our written price covers the work we agreed to, including the concrete cutting, waterproofing, and hurricane-code upgrades we know Miami requires. If we open a wall and find something no one could have predicted, we stop, show you exactly what we found, and get your written approval before spending another dollar. Call (850) 988-7559 to schedule your free estimate.

What Miami Customers Say
"Good remodel of two bathrooms. A fixture came in wrong and added a few days, but they ate the cost of fixing it. Finish work is excellent and they cleaned up daily."
- Rudy Mackey"Redid two bathrooms at once. The crew protected the floors and cleaned up every single day before leaving. Quote was detailed and there were no mystery charges at the end."
- Tricia Dawson"Full home refresh before we sold. They were straight about what was worth doing and what wasn't to get our money back. On time, on budget, and it sold in a week."
- Monica Vaughn
