AfterRemodeling Company in Fountainebleau, FL
Home remodeling in Fountainebleau means working with 1950s – 1970s CBS construction that predates Hurricane Andrew and the strict High-Velocity Hurricane Zone codes that followed. Every project we take on, from opening up a floor plan to adding square footage, must navigate Miami-Dade’s NOA product certifications and impact-rated assembly requirements that simply do not exist outside South Florida. We’re Penhallow Remodeling, and our crews serve Fountainebleau locally with scheduling coordinated from our Miami office. Call (936) 259-2607 and a live person will answer, 24 hours a day.
Why Fountainebleau Homes Are Different
Fountainebleau’s housing stock is almost entirely single-family concrete block and stucco homes built between roughly 1955 and 1975, most on slab foundations with original flat or low-slope roofs. Many still have jalousie or single-pane windows and roof-to-wall connections that would never pass today’s hurricane strapping standards. When we pull a permit for any significant renovation or addition, Miami-Dade County triggers a cascade of upgrade requirements: windows, doors, roof deck attachments, and structural connectors all must meet current HVHZ code. That substantially raises both scope and cost compared to identical projects in Orlando or Tampa.
The local terrain adds its own layer. Fountainebleau sits on the flat Miami-Dade limestone plain where the water table can linger just inches below grade, especially from June through October. Trenching, slab modifications, and any ground disturbance during rainy season require dewatering plans that out-of-area crews rarely anticipate. Year-round humidity, salt air, and UV exposure corrode exposed fasteners and degrade flashing on pre-Andrew CBS structures, so corrosion remediation is standard on any deep renovation we perform here.
Permitting flows through Miami-Dade County’s Building Department, not a municipal office. Contractors used to Doral or Miami proper often file incorrectly and get routed back. The county’s HVHZ inspection queue includes mandatory sheathing inspections before roofing can proceed, steps that routinely blindside crews unfamiliar with South Florida’s process.
Our Main Fountainebleau Services
Most Fountainebleau homeowners who call us start with one of these three projects, each shaped by the unique demands of remodeling older CBS homes under HVHZ rules.
General Contractor in Fountainebleau
General contracting in Fountainebleau means orchestrating trades through Miami-Dade’s county-level permit system while keeping every assembly NOA-compliant. We coordinate structural engineers, impact-product suppliers, and county inspectors who know these 1960s slab homes intimately. Our background-checked, uniformed technicians manage the full chain from demo to final inspection. General Contractor in Fountainebleau
Bathroom Remodeling in Fountainebleau
Bathroom remodels in Fountainebleau’s older CBS homes often reveal corroded cast-iron drains, inadequate venting, and original windows that must be replaced with impact-rated units once walls are opened. We source Kohler and Moen fixtures, Cambria and Silestone surfaces, and specify cement board substrate behind every tile installation. Our written price covers code-mandated window upgrades before tile goes up. Bathroom Remodeling in Fountainebleau
Kitchen Remodeling in Fountainebleau
Kitchen remodeling here means working within load-bearing CBS walls that cannot be casually modified, and specifying impact-rated openings when we expand to a patio or Florida room. We install KraftMaid and Wellborn cabinetry, Cambria and Caesarstone countertops, and James Hardie siding on exterior bump-outs. Every quote includes the structural engineering and permit path through Miami-Dade County. Kitchen Remodeling in Fountainebleau

Home Remodeling in Fountainebleau
Home remodeling in Fountainebleau addresses the specific reality of owning a 1950s – 1970s CBS house: layouts that feel closed off by modern standards, electrical and plumbing at end of life, and the structural limitations of concrete block construction that require real engineering to modify. We specialize in whole-house transformations that respect the original slab and block shell while bringing every system and finish up to current HVHZ standards. Our Home Remodeling process starts with a written, line-item price before any work begins, backed by our 365-Day Done Right Promise.
Whole House Remodel
Signs you need it
Your home still has its original galley kitchen, aluminum wiring, jalousie windows, and a floor plan that isolates every room from the next.
What it costs in Fountainebleau
A whole house remodel in Fountainebleau typically runs $45,000 – $130,000, with the higher end reflecting mandatory HVHZ upgrades to windows, doors, and roof connections that non-South Florida projects simply do not require.
How we do it
We sequence structural engineering first, pull Miami-Dade permits with NOA documentation for every impact-rated product, phase construction to keep you in the home when possible, and pass county inspections at rough-in, sheathing, and final.
Home Renovation
Signs you need it
Your CBS home is structurally sound but systems are aging: original cast iron drains, knob-and-tube or early Romex wiring, and a roof past its 20-year mark in salt air.
What it costs in Fountainebleau
Home renovation projects here typically fall between $9,000 and $55,000 depending on whether we’re refreshing finishes or replacing major systems, with HVHZ window and door upgrades adding $8,000 – $25,000 when walls are opened.
How we do it
We start with a full conditions assessment, identify every code-triggered upgrade that permitting will require, build those into the written price, and execute in phases: electrical and plumbing rough-in, structural modifications, then finishes with county sign-off at each stage.

FAQs About Remodeling Company in Fountainebleau
Fountainebleau is unincorporated Miami-Dade, so all permits and inspections flow through Miami-Dade County’s Building Department, not a municipal office. We handle every filing, including NOA product documentation and HVHZ compliance submissions, as part of our standard project management.
If your home was built before 1992 and you’re opening walls, modifying the roof line, or adding square footage, Miami-Dade will require current HVHZ compliance for windows, doors, and structural connectors. We assess this during our initial site visit and build every required upgrade into your written price.
Often yes, depending on scope and phasing. We sequence work to keep kitchens and bathrooms functional when possible, and we maintain a clean, contained job site daily. For extensive whole-house projects, we discuss temporary relocation options during estimating so you can plan realistically.
