AfterRemodeling Company in Coral Gables, FL
Home remodeling in Coral Gables runs $9,000 – $130,000 depending on scope, with most whole-home projects falling between $45,000 and $130,000. We’re Penhallow Remodeling, and we handle kitchen renovations, bathroom updates, and whole-home remodels for homeowners across Coral Gables. The city’s 1920s – 1950s Mediterranean Revival stock, strict Board of Architects review, and salt-air climate mean every job here requires different planning than work in Miami or South Miami. Call (936) 259-2607 to schedule your free estimate.
Why Coral Gables Homes Are Different
Coral Gables sits just west of Biscayne Bay, where salt-laden air accelerates rebar corrosion in the unreinforced concrete block common in pre-1960s homes. The city’s low elevation and clay-amended fill over porous Miami limestone creates hydrostatic pressure that routinely cracks slabs and foundation stem walls on older properties. Most of the housing stock is Mediterranean Revival masonry built between the 1920s and 1950s: oolitic limestone block or CBS walls with stucco cladding, barrel tile roofs, and arched openings. These materials need specialized cutting tools, compatible patching compounds, and craftsmen who understand historic lime-based stucco systems. Unlike neighboring cities, Coral Gables requires Board of Architects approval before any building permit is issued for exterior work, enforcing George Merrick’s original aesthetic code with specific requirements for S-profile barrel tile, sand-finish stucco, and historically proportioned fenestration.

Home Remodeling in Coral Gables
Whole-home remodeling in Coral Gables demands a contractor who understands the city’s unique approval process and aging building stock. Most homes here were built with oolitic limestone block or early CBS construction, and the salt-air climate has had nearly a century to corrode embedded steel and degrade stucco finishes. We start every project with a structural assessment that accounts for these conditions, then develop drawings that satisfy the Board of Architects before we order a single tile or window. Our Home Remodeling process is built around The Kingswell Way: written price before work starts, a real arrival window, and a clean job site every day.
