AfterConstruction in Miami Beach, FL
A full kitchen remodel in Miami Beach typically runs $16,520 to $53,100, with smaller kitchens falling between $10,620 and $23,600. The number that actually matters sits higher or lower depending on one thing: whether your building is a contributing structure in the Art Deco Historic District or a post-Andrew build that skips the Historic Preservation Board review. Either way, you should know the price range before the first wall is opened, so call (470) 298-9650 for a written quote.
Miami Beach construction is not mainland Miami construction. The housing stock runs from 1920s hollow clay tile cottages with lime stucco to 1960s MiMo towers along Collins Avenue, and the salt air off the Atlantic and Biscayne Bay never stops working on exterior materials. Add the city’s mandated elevation requirements for new construction in flood zones, and every trade on this barrier island has to account for two forces at once: historic review and hydraulic pressure. We quote accordingly, with a written scope and a flat price before any work starts.
Why Miami Beach Homes Are Different
Miami Beach is the only municipality in the country where a nationally-listed Art Deco Historic District of roughly 800 protected buildings sits on top of the country’s most aggressive sea-level rise adaptation program. The city has been physically raising streets two to three feet in low-lying corridors like West Avenue and Sunset Harbour, and major renovations routinely require finished floors elevated three to six feet above grade on pilings or stem walls. No contractor working in Miami Beach gets to choose between historic preservation and flood compliance. Both apply, often on the same lot.
The older contributing structures bring specific headaches: unreinforced hollow-tile walls, original coral-aggregate stucco that cannot be matched off the shelf, and foundations resting just two to three feet above a water table that makes any true below-grade work questionable. The salt air accelerates concrete carbonation and rebar corrosion on every facade, which is why exterior work here calls for higher PSI mixes and epoxy-coated or stainless reinforcement that a typical inland Dade County job never needs. Contractors who skip the Certificates of Appropriateness on contributing Art Deco or MiMo structures get stop-work orders, sometimes weeks into a project. We pre-clear submittals before the first permit application goes in.
Our Main Miami Beach Services
Two services generate the most calls from Miami Beach homeowners: fencing that stands up to salt air and paver or concrete driveways that handle king-tide drainage. Each has its own dedicated Miami Beach page with local pricing and scope details.
Fence Installation in Miami Beach
Fence work in Miami Beach means aluminum and vinyl far more often than wood, because the salt air and humidity rot untreated lumber within a few seasons and corrode uncoated steel post bases quickly. Many neighborhoods also enforce specific fence height and setback rules, and historic districts add approval layers on top. We quote vinyl fence installation at $4,130 to $10,620 and aluminum at $4,720 to $11,800. See the full breakdown and local conditions on our Fence Installation in Miami Beach page.
Driveway & Pavers in Miami Beach
Driveways on this barrier island have to move water fast during king-tide events, which makes paver systems with permeable joints a practical choice over solid concrete slabs on many lots. Paver driveway installation runs $8,260 to $21,240, while a concrete driveway runs $5,310 to $14,160. Grade, existing base condition, and flood-zone elevation requirements all shift the number. Read the detailed pricing and what to expect on our Driveway & Pavers in Miami Beach page.

BeforeAfterKitchen Remodeling in Miami Beach
Kitchen remodeling in Miami Beach usually means working inside structures that predate modern plumbing and electrical codes by several generations. The 1920s and 1930s Art Deco buildings that give South Beach its character were built with hollow clay tile walls and shallow foundations, which means opening a kitchen wall often reveals plumbing runs and wiring that no longer meet current standards. A full Kitchen Remodeling in Miami Beach runs $16,520 to $53,100, and the final number depends heavily on whether your building’s interior work triggers historic review or just standard building permits.
Salt air corrosion reaches kitchen components too, especially in older towers where original galvanized supply lines have been quietly failing inside walls. We find pinhole leaks behind cabinetry more often than homeowners expect.
Full Kitchen Remodeling
Signs you need it
Cabinet boxes are delaminating from decades of humidity, the layout forces traffic through the cook’s work zone, or the plumbing shutoffs no longer fully close.
What it costs in Miami Beach
A full kitchen remodel in Miami Beach runs $16,520 to $53,100 depending on footprint, structural surprises, and finish level.
How we do it
We open the walls, document what is actually there, pressure-test the supply lines, then build back with a written scope that includes the cabinet, countertop, and flooring brands by name before ordering starts.
Kitchen Design & Layout
Signs you need it
You are moving appliances or plumbing, the current triangle does not work, or you want an island where none exists and need someone to verify clearances and load paths.
What it costs in Miami Beach
Design and layout work is rolled into full remodels in the $16,520 to $53,100 range, while a kitchen island installation alone runs $3,540 to $11,800.
How we do it
We measure the actual room, map the existing plumbing and electrical, and produce a dimensioned plan that respects the building’s structural realities before any pricing is finalized.
What Kitchen Remodeling Costs in Miami Beach
| Item | Typical range in Miami Beach |
|---|---|
| Full kitchen remodel | $16,520 - $53,100 |
| Small kitchen remodel | $10,620 - $23,600 |
| Cabinet installation | $4,720 - $15,340 |
How much does a kitchen remodel cost in Miami Beach?
A full kitchen remodel in Miami Beach runs $16,520 to $53,100, while a small kitchen lands between $10,620 and $23,600. The wide spread reflects the difference between a 1940s Art Deco unit with hidden structural issues and a straightforward post-Andrew condo. Call (470) 298-9650 for a written line-item quote.
Will the price change once the kitchen is opened up?
Not without your signature. Under our process, no work proceeds on a change until a written change order is signed, so the price you approve is the price you pay unless you approve something different in writing. Call (470) 298-9650 for your free estimate.
Bathroom Remodeling in Miami Beach
Full bathroom remodeling in Miami Beach runs $10,620 to $33,040, with small bathrooms between $5,900 and $14,160. The older the building, the more likely you are to find original cast-iron drain lines and water-damaged floor framing under the tile, especially in prewar buildings where bathrooms were stacked and framed tight. A Bathroom Remodeling here has to account for the fact that water has been working on these structures for close to a century.
Humidity from the surrounding water on both sides of the island means proper waterproofing is not optional. We treat every shower membrane as the thing that fails first, because in Miami Beach it usually is.
Walk-In Showers & Shower Remodeling
Signs you need it
Grout is cracking along the pan, you smell must but cannot find the source, or the shower floor flexes underfoot.
What it costs in Miami Beach
A walk-in shower installation in Miami Beach runs $5,310 to $14,160, while a shower replacement runs $3,540 to $10,030.
How we do it
We pull the pan and tile, inspect the subfloor and drain assembly, replace what is compromised, then rebuild with a continuous waterproof membrane and a flood-tested pan before tile goes down.
Vanities, Tile & Fixtures
Signs you need it
The vanity has swollen from sink splashes, tile is popping off the wall from moisture behind it, or the fixtures no longer match the water pressure reality of the building.
What it costs in Miami Beach
Bathroom vanity installation in Miami Beach runs $945 to $3,540, with full remodel pricing covering tile and fixtures at $10,620 to $33,040.
How we do it
We remove the old vanity and tile, check the wall cavity for hidden moisture damage, and install new materials over properly sealed substrates with brand names specified in the written quote.
What Bathroom Remodeling Costs in Miami Beach
| Item | Typical range in Miami Beach |
|---|---|
| Full bathroom remodel | $10,620 - $33,040 |
| Small bathroom remodel | $5,900 - $14,160 |
| Tub-to-shower conversion | $4,130 - $11,800 |
How much does a bathroom remodel cost in Miami Beach?
Expect $10,620 to $33,040 for a full bathroom remodel in Miami Beach, or $5,900 to $14,160 for a smaller bath. Prewar buildings with original plumbing tend to land on the higher end once drain lines are exposed. Call (470) 298-9650 for a fixed written quote.
Will you pull a permit for a Miami Beach bathroom remodel?
Yes, and we will tell you up front whether your building is in a flood zone or historic district, because both affect the permit path. The permit and inspection record is part of the written scope. Call (470) 298-9650 to schedule a free estimate.
Roofing in Miami Beach
Roof replacement in Miami Beach runs $9,440 to $23,600, with roof repair between $470 and $2,125, and metal roof installation climbing to $17,700 to $47,200. The deciding factor here is wind rating: Miami-Dade County product approval is mandatory, and anyone quoting a roof without specifying the wind uplift rating is not quoting a Miami Beach roof. Our Roofing work starts with the documentation, not the shingle color.
Salt air on this island means fasteners and flashing corrode years ahead of the mainland schedule, and original tile roofs on older buildings often need repair rather than replacement, which is why tile roof repair pricing sits at $710 to $2,950.
Roof Replacement & Installation
Signs you need it
Shingles are lifting at the edges, granules are collecting in the gutters, or the roof is past fifteen years in Miami Beach’s salt and sun exposure.
What it costs in Miami Beach
A roof replacement in Miami Beach runs $9,440 to $23,600 depending on square footage, tear-off layers, and the wind-rated system specified.
How we do it
We strip to the deck, document the condition of the substrate with photos, replace any compromised sheathing, and install a Miami-Dade approved system with written wind-uplift documentation for the permit file.
Tile Roofing
Signs you need it
Individual tiles are cracked or sliding, the underlayment is visible through gaps, or the roof is a contributing historic structure that requires tile rather than asphalt.
What it costs in Miami Beach
Tile roof repair in Miami Beach runs $710 to $2,950, while an full tile re-roof falls within the $9,440 to $23,600 roof replacement range depending on tile type and substrate condition.
How we do it
We match the existing tile profile and color as closely as physically possible, replace the underlayment, reset the tiles with proper fastening, and document the whole process for the Historic Preservation Board if your building is a contributing structure.
What Roofing Costs in Miami Beach
| Item | Typical range in Miami Beach |
|---|---|
| Roof replacement | $9,440 - $23,600 |
| Roof repair | $470 - $2,125 |
| Metal roof installation | $17,700 - $47,200 |
How much does a roof replacement cost in Miami Beach?
A roof replacement in Miami Beach runs $9,440 to $23,600, while repairs run $470 to $2,125. The wind-rated system and tear-off complexity drive the spread. Call (470) 298-9650 for a written quote that names the system and the uplift rating.
Does a Miami Beach roof need special wind rating documentation?
Yes. Miami-Dade County product approval is mandatory, and the permit file must show the wind uplift rating of the system you are installing. We include that documentation in every roofing job. Call (470) 298-9650 for your free estimate.
Windows & Doors in Miami Beach
Impact window installation in Miami Beach runs $9,440 to $29,500, while standard window replacement runs $5,310 to $17,700. The spread exists because impact-rated systems are not an upgrade here, they are the code requirement for most of the barrier island, and the cost of non-impact glass is essentially irrelevant if your building is in a wind-borne debris zone. Our Windows & Doors work starts with the wind zone map, not the window catalog.
Salt air and direct Atlantic exposure mean aluminum frames corrode fast if they are not properly coated, and the frames in older Art Deco buildings often have non-standard rough openings that make off-the-shelf windows a poor fit.
Impact Windows & Doors
Signs you need it
Your windows are single-pane, you still rely on tapcons and plywood for storm prep, or your insurance carrier is asking for a wind mitigation report.
What it costs in Miami Beach
Impact window installation in Miami Beach runs $9,440 to $29,500 depending on opening count, frame material, and whether the building requires historic-review-compatible profiles.
How we do it
We measure every rough opening, spec the Miami-Dade approved product for the wind zone, and install with the anchoring pattern the engineering requires, documenting it all for the permit file.
Window Replacement
Signs you need it
Frames are corroded at the corners, condensation lives permanently between the panes, or the sashes no longer seal against wind-driven rain.
What it costs in Miami Beach
Window replacement in Miami Beach runs $5,310 to $17,700, with impact-rated upgrades moving into the $9,440 to $29,500 range depending on size and count.
How we do it
We remove the old window, inspect the rough opening for hidden water damage in the framing, repair what is compromised, and install the new unit with a documented flashing detail that keeps salt-driven moisture out.
What Windows & Doors Costs in Miami Beach
| Item | Typical range in Miami Beach |
|---|---|
| Impact window installation | $9,440 - $29,500 |
| Window replacement | $5,310 - $17,700 |
| Door installation | $3,540 - $10,030 |
How much do impact windows cost in Miami Beach?
Impact window installation in Miami Beach runs $9,440 to $29,500 depending on the number of openings, frame material, and whether historic review applies to the facade. Call (470) 298-9650 for a written quote with the product named.
Will the Miami Beach Historic Preservation Board affect my window replacement?
If your building is a contributing structure in the Art Deco Historic District, yes: exterior window profiles, frame materials, and sometimes color require a Certificate of Appropriateness. We pre-clear submittals before ordering product. Call (470) 298-9650 for your free estimate.
Home Additions & ADU in Miami Beach
Home additions in Miami Beach run $53,100 to $153,400, while a full ADU construction runs $106,200 to $259,600. A garage conversion lands between $35,400 and $94,400. The prices reflect something mainland work does not: finished floors on new construction are routinely required to be elevated three to six feet above grade on pilings or stem walls, and that elevation work is not optional in the low-lying corridors. A Home Additions & ADU in Miami Beach starts with the flood zone map and the elevation certificate, not a sketch on a napkin.
On many Miami Beach lots, the shallow water table two to three feet below grade makes traditional basements and deep footings effectively infeasible, so addition and ADU designs have to work with what the ground will actually hold.
ADU Design & Permitting
Signs you need it
You have a lot that can accommodate a detached unit but the elevation, setback, and flood-zone requirements are not clear, or the city has asked for engineering that your current plans do not include.
What it costs in Miami Beach
ADU construction in Miami Beach runs $106,200 to $259,600, with design and permitting typically included in the written scope for full builds.
How we do it
We pull the FEMA flood zone determination, survey the lot, produce the elevation and foundation plan the city expects, and run the permit path with the engineering already attached.
Garage Conversion ADU
Signs you need it
The garage is a storage pile, the house is short a legal second unit, and the existing slab elevation can support habitable space without a full re-pour.
What it costs in Miami Beach
A garage conversion ADU in Miami Beach runs $35,400 to $94,400 depending on whether the slab must be raised for flood compliance and how much of the existing framing is reusable.
How we do it
We document the existing structure, verify the slab elevation against the flood-zone requirement, and quote the path from garage to permitted dwelling with the elevation work priced as its own line item.
What Home Additions & ADU Costs in Miami Beach
| Item | Typical range in Miami Beach |
|---|---|
| Home addition | $53,100 - $153,400 |
| ADU construction | $106,200 - $259,600 |
| Garage conversion | $35,400 - $94,400 |
How much does an ADU cost in Miami Beach?
A full ADU in Miami Beach runs $106,200 to $259,600, while a garage conversion runs $35,400 to $94,400. Elevation requirements and the shallow water table drive the cost more than finish level. Call (470) 298-9650 for a written quote with the elevation line item shown.
Will the city of Miami Beach raise my required floor height mid-project?
The requirement is tied to the current flood zone map and the city’s adaptation ordinance, and we review that determination before design is finalized so the elevation is baked into the written scope. Call (470) 298-9650 for your free estimate.
