The City Beautiful. Coral Gables remodeling means Mediterranean Revival homes, coral-rock and barrel-tile detail, a mature oak canopy, and the strictest architectural review in the region - the Board of Architects.
Remodeling in Coral Gables
The upside is a neighborhood of extraordinary Mediterranean Revival homes: barrel-tile roofs, coral-rock and oolitic-limestone detail, arched openings, and a canopy of protected oaks and banyans. The responsibility is doing renovation work that meets the city’s standards.
Exterior changes typically pass through the Gables Board of Architects, and the tree ordinance protects that famous canopy. We know this process – and we design renovations that clear review while giving you the modern interior you actually want.
The neighborhood
Coral Gables was master-planned in the 1920s to a single Mediterranean vision, and the city has defended it ever since. Mediterranean Revival dominates – stucco walls, barrel-tile roofs, wrought iron, arches, and coral-rock accents – alongside pockets of other ‘village’ styles Merrick built.
What makes remodeling here distinct is governance. The Board of Architects reviews exterior work; the tree ordinance protects the mature oak and banyan canopy; and historic homes carry additional care. Interior renovations have more freedom, but the whole project benefits from a contractor who speaks the city’s language.
We renovate Gables homes to live beautifully in the present – open kitchens, spa baths, refined flooring – while keeping the Mediterranean character (and the review board) satisfied.

Questions
Exterior changes in Coral Gables typically require review by the Board of Architects. Interior renovations usually have more freedom. We assess your scope up front, design to clear review, and manage the submission.
The city protects its mature oak and banyan canopy with a strict ordinance. Any site work, access, or removal near protected trees needs planning and often approval - which we handle as part of the project.
That's exactly our approach - modernizing kitchens, baths, and systems while respecting barrel tile, coral rock, arches, and stucco so the home stays true to its architecture.
The review and tree requirements add steps, yes - but they're routine for us. Knowing the city's process is what keeps a Gables renovation on schedule instead of stalled at review.
