Luxury remodeling

Luxury home remodeling in Miami under one contract and a price cap

Florida Home Build is a Miami general contractor that handles luxury home remodeling from the first visit to the final walkthrough. You sign one contract and work with one project manager and the same permanent subcontractors. If costs run above the maximum price in the contract, the contractor pays the difference.

A premium remodel usually brings together these parts:

  • Planning first. The plans and material selections of your architect and designer are priced in the line-by-line estimate that comes before the contract.
  • High-end finishes, from stone and custom millwork to tile and lighting.
  • Layout and structure, such as opening walls or redrawing the floor plan.
  • Systems behind the walls: new electrical, plumbing and air-conditioning.
  • Upgrades to the envelope, including impact windows and doors, which in Miami-Dade must carry county product approval.

The scope of each project is set after a visit to the property, before any contract. Projects start at $250,000. We remodel private residences across Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties, including Miami, Miami Beach, Coral Gables, Doral, Aventura and Sunny Isles Beach. On average the project takes 2⁠–⁠4 hours of an owner's time per week.

Before work starts

What a luxury home renovation in Miami has to get right before work starts

Three rules shape a premium remodel in Miami before a single finish is chosen, and each can change the scope.

Hurricane rules reach the windows

Miami-Dade and Broward make up the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone of the Florida Building Code. In Miami-Dade, windows, doors and other parts of the building envelope need county product approval (NOA). Florida law (section 553.844) can also require opening protection as for a new home when permitted work costs $50,000 or more on a house in the wind-borne debris region insured for $750,000 or more. Whether it applies depends on the location and the coverage of your house.

Miami-Dade applications filed on or after December 31, 2026 fall under the 9th edition of the Florida Building Code. More on the zone is in hurricane-resistant homes in Florida.

The 50% line in flood zones

In a mapped flood zone, work that costs 50% or more of the building's market value before the work, land excluded, counts as a substantial improvement. In zones A1-30, AE and AH the lowest floor must then be raised to the base flood elevation or higher. The higher the cost of the finishes, the closer the project gets to that line, and the city or county does the calculation.

Permits come before demolition

City and county permits, inspections and homeowners association submissions are part of our work, and they decide when the first walls can open. How permits run across Miami-Dade and Broward, step by step, is in permits on a Miami project. The way a project moves from the signed contract to the final walkthrough is on how we build.

Your money

How a Miami home build works when you're not paying ahead

  • 4 payments, not a big deposit

    At signing, at the start of work, at the midpoint and at about 99% completion. Each payment is for a stage you have approved.

  • A price cap in the contract

    Cost plus a fixed fee, with a maximum price. Savings stay with you. Anything above the cap is paid by the builder.

  • Every bid and invoice in view

    A shared budget tracker shows each subcontractor bid, each change and each invoice.

  • One contractor, one contract

    The same permanent subcontractors on every job, and one company answering for all of them.

  • 3-year warranty, exclusions in writing

    The warranty term is a number in your contract, and so is the list of what it does not cover.

  • An answer in under 24 hours

    By phone, WhatsApp, text or email, in English, Spanish or Russian.

FAQ

Questions about remodeling a luxury home in Miami

How much does a luxury home remodel cost in Miami?

Our turnkey remodels run $50⁠–⁠250 per square foot, and premium finishes sit in the upper part of that range. Projects start at $250,000. The contract sets a maximum price for the agreed scope of work, and the exact number comes after we see the house. The table above puts market references next to ours.

Is $300,000 enough to remodel a luxury house in Miami?

It depends on the size of the house. On 2,000 square feet, $300,000 is $150 per square foot, the top of what whole-house remodels most often cost. Premium finishes sit in the upper part of the $50⁠–⁠250 range, and projects start at $250,000. The final number depends on the scope.

How do I choose a luxury remodeling contractor in Miami?

Ask four things: how the price is set and capped, how many payments you make and when, what the warranty covers and for how long, and who confirms the next steps each week. Ours is cost plus a fixed fee with a maximum price, four stage payments, a 3-year warranty with exclusions in the contract, and a superintendent who confirms steps weekly. Details are on pricing and terms.

Do you work with my architect and designer on a luxury remodel?

Yes. We build from the plans and selections of the architect and designer you choose. The line-by-line estimate comes before the contract and rests on those plans, and their fees are billed separately from construction. For how an architect and a builder can share one project, see architect and builder on one project.

How long does a luxury home renovation take in Miami?

The timeline counts from two events: permits issued and materials delivered. It is an estimate, not a promise, and your superintendent confirms the next steps every week in the client portal. The scope and the material selections set the length, and both are written into the estimate before you sign.

Who handles permits on a luxury remodel in Miami?

We do. City and county permits and inspections are part of the work, and so are homeowners association submissions. Some cities add their own approval for protected buildings: a Certificate of Appropriateness in Miami Beach is issued by the Historic Preservation Board or city planning staff, and in Coral Gables exterior work on a designated landmark needs one before the building permit.

Do you remodel houses outside Miami, in Broward and Palm Beach?

Yes. We remodel houses in Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties, from Coral Gables and Miami Beach to Fort Lauderdale and Boca Raton. Every project starts with a visit to the property, and your project manager speaks English, Spanish or Russian. As a general contractor in Miami, we run the whole job under one contract.
