AfterRemodeling Company in Miami Shores, FL
Home remodeling in Miami Shores means working with 1930s – 1950s concrete block construction that predates modern hurricane codes, often while preserving Mediterranean Revival character that the Village’s Historic Preservation Board protects. We’re Penhallow Remodeling, and we navigate both tracks: pulling permits through Miami Shores’ independent building department and, when needed, securing Certificates of Appropriateness for exterior changes on contributing structures. Our crews serve Miami Shores from our South Florida coordination office, and you can reach a live person at (936) 259-2607 any time to talk through your project.
Why Miami Shores Homes Are Different
The homes here were built tough but not hurricane-smart. Most poured-concrete and CBS structures in Miami Shores went up between the 1930s and 1950s, before Florida’s post-Andrew code overhaul. That means original roof-to-wall strap connections are often missing or inadequate, roof deck attachments are undersized for 175-plus-mph wind loads, and those charming steel-casement or jalousie windows fail HVHZ impact requirements outright.
Then there’s the dual-approval reality. Miami Shores Village runs its own building department separate from Miami-Dade County, and any exterior work on a contributing historic structure needs Historic Preservation Board sign-off before a permit can even be issued. We’ve seen preservation resist aluminum impact frames that code demands, or insist on matching original stucco profiles that modern systems don’t accommodate. The salt air off Biscayne Bay, just blocks east, accelerates corrosion of fasteners and lintels faster than inland communities face. These aren’t abstract concerns; they show up in every window replacement, every roof tear-off, every exterior door installation we bid in Miami Shores.
Our Main Miami Shores Services
Most Miami Shores homeowners who call us start with one of these three projects, each shaped by the village’s unique construction and approval environment.
General Contractor in Miami Shores
As general contractors in Miami Shores, we coordinate the trades, permits, and inspections that HVHZ compliance demands. That means wind-load calculations for roofing, impact-rated product selections for openings, and when we’re working on a contributing structure, advance coordination with the Historic Preservation Board to avoid mid-project surprises. Every job gets a written price before work starts and our 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing. General Contractor in Miami Shores
Bathroom Remodeling in Miami Shores
Bathroom remodeling in Miami Shores often means updating layouts within existing concrete block footprints, working around cast-iron or galvanized plumbing that hasn’t been touched in seventy years. We specify moisture-resistant cement board substrate behind every tile installation and source vanities and fixtures from Kohler, Moen, and Grohe lines that hold up to the humidity. Our written price covers demo, rough plumbing, finishes, and final inspection. Bathroom Remodeling in Miami Shores
Kitchen Remodeling in Miami Shores

We install KraftMaid and Wellborn cabinetry, Cambria and Silestone countertops, and specify appliances and ventilation suited to year-round cooling loads. Every quote is line-item and fixed, and our crews arrive in uniform with background checks confirmed. Kitchen Remodeling in Miami Shores

Home Remodeling in Miami Shores
Whole-home remodeling in Miami Shores addresses the gap between historic character and modern living: original floor plans with too many small rooms, kitchens added as afterthoughts, bathrooms without exhaust ventilation, and electrical panels that can’t handle contemporary loads. We work with the village’s dual approval system when exterior changes are involved, and we specify materials that satisfy both HVHZ wind-load requirements and, where applicable, Historic Preservation Board standards for visual compatibility. Home Remodeling through Penhallow means a written price before demolition, a defined arrival window, and our 365-Day Done Right Promise on every phase.

What it costs in Miami Shores
A whole house remodel in Miami Shores typically runs $53,100 – $153,400 depending on square footage, structural modifications needed in concrete block walls, and whether exterior work triggers Historic Preservation Board review.

We start with a structural assessment of your CBS walls and roof connections, then phase the work to keep you living on-site when possible, pulling permits through Miami Shores’ building department and coordinating any preservation approvals before exterior changes begin.
