Home / Miami-Dade / Miami Beach
Where history is protected by law. Miami Beach remodeling means respecting Art Deco and MiMo character, navigating flood zones and preservation review, and modernizing older buildings without erasing what makes them iconic.
Remodeling in Miami Beach
Much of the housing stock dates to the 1920s-1950s, sits in a FEMA flood zone, and falls under historic preservation review. Remodeling means modernizing systems, waterproofing, and interiors while respecting terrazzo, plaster, and the lines that make these buildings landmarks.
We’ve done the careful version of this work – updating a 1940s apartment or a Deco single-family home so it lives like 2026 while keeping the soul (and the paperwork) intact.
The neighborhood
Miami Beach is layered: the Art Deco Historic District of South Beach, the MiMo (Miami Modern) stretch up Collins, mid-century apartments, and oceanfront condos. Each has its own vocabulary – rounded corners, eyebrows, terrazzo floors, glass block, plaster detail.
Working here is about restraint and knowledge. Older buildings hide surprises: original plumbing, cast-iron stacks, plaster over block, and flood-zone requirements that shape everything below a certain elevation. Exterior changes in the historic district may face preservation review.
Our approach is to modernize what should be modern – systems, kitchens, baths, waterproofing – and preserve what should be preserved. The result feels current without feeling like it forgot where it lives.
