AfterRemodeling Company in North Miami, FL
Home remodeling in North Miami typically runs $53,100 – $153,400 for whole-house projects, with most kitchen and bathroom renovations falling between $10,620 and $53,100 depending on scope and materials. We’re Penhallow Remodeling, and we serve North Miami homeowners from our Miami-area office with crews who know the local building department, the HVHZ wind codes, and the groundwater conditions that change how jobs get priced and built. Call (936) 259-2607 to schedule your free estimate.
North Miami’s housing stock is dominated by 1950s – 1970s concrete block structure homes built before Miami-Dade’s post-Hurricane Andrew code overhaul. That age and construction type means almost any permitted renovation triggers mandatory wind-mitigation upgrades, and many properties hide unpermitted additions that inspectors require legalizing before new work can advance. We price for these realities upfront so you’re not surprised mid-project.
Why North Miami Homes Are Different
North Miami sits between 6 and 12 feet above sea level, with the Biscayne Aquifer surfacing as little as 2 – 4 feet below grade on many parcels. Contractors here routinely hit standing groundwater during excavation even in the dry season, which means dewatering equipment that out-of-area crews don’t budget for.
The dominant housing is postwar CBS construction from the 1950s through the 1970s. Flat or low-slope roofs, original jalousie windows, and minimal structural tie-downs are common. These aging envelopes make roof replacements and window upgrades frequent projects, but they’re also code-intensive because Miami-Dade enforces High-Velocity Hurricane Zone requirements strictly.
Permitted renovations in older neighborhoods like Keystone Point or Sans Souci Estates often uncover unpermitted rear additions and garage conversions, a pattern rooted in the city’s dense, multigenerational housing culture. Miami-Dade inspectors will halt a project until these are legalized or removed, adding weeks and thousands in unplanned costs. We check permit histories during our initial site visit so this doesn’t land on you as a surprise change order.

Home Remodeling in North Miami
Home remodeling in North Miami means working within concrete block structures built before modern hurricane codes, where opening a wall can reveal corroded rebar, outdated electrical, or unpermitted additions that must be resolved before new work proceeds. We specialize in whole-house renovations that bring these aging CBS homes up to current Miami-Dade standards without losing their character, and we price the full scope, including code-triggered upgrades, before demolition starts. Home Remodeling with Penhallow means a written number on day one and a 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing before any cabinet comes off the wall.
Whole House Remodel

What it costs in North Miami
A whole house remodel in North Miami typically runs $53,100 – $153,400, with most projects clustering between $75,000 and $125,000 once HVHZ-compliant windows, roof upgrades, and structural tie-downs are included.
How we do it
We start with a permit-history search and structural assessment, then sequence the job to address wind-mitigation requirements first, followed by systems upgrades, then finish work, with Miami-Dade inspections at each phase.

Will I need wind-mitigation upgrades on my North Miami remodel?
