Home / Miami-Dade / Coral Gables
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.
Building in Coral Gables
Exterior work in Coral Gables typically goes through architectural review. We design to clear the Board and manage the submission for you.
The city guards its oak and banyan canopy with a strict tree ordinance. We plan site work and access around it and secure any required approvals.
Barrel tile, coral rock, arches, and stucco define these homes. We renovate in keeping with the architecture - inside and out - not against it.
The full MIA design-build service line - measured, designed, permitted, and constructed for Coral Gables homes and condos.
Cabinetry, countertops, islands, backsplashes, lighting, fixtures and flooring, redesigned to feel intentional within the existing home rather than an unrelated addition.
Showers, vanities, tile, lighting, storage and fixtures updated for modern comfort, in a contemporary, traditional or transitional direction to suit the home.
Kitchens, baths, bedrooms, living spaces, flooring and finishes planned under one direction so changes feel consistent throughout the property.
Improved circulation, lighting, flooring, storage and selective layout changes that keep the details giving the home its character.
Roof forms, openings, finishes and proportions considered carefully, with Coral Gables architectural-review requirements in mind.
Flooring coordinated with room and whole-home renovations, considering durability, transitions and how the material relates to existing architecture.
New bedrooms, family rooms, primary suites or offices designed to match the scale, circulation and exterior architecture of the home, and Board of Architects review.
Kitchens, baths, flooring and complete interiors developed around the unit and any building or association procedures that apply.
Our Process
One team from first sketch to final walkthrough.
We review the home and what you want to improve, with attention to features worth retaining, previous renovations, layout limits, and how the new work relates to the rest of the house.
Once priorities are clear, we develop layouts, materials, finishes and details together, with a free 3D design so you can see proposed changes before construction.
As the renovation finishes, we review the completed areas with you and address remaining details so the project feels cohesive and ready for everyday living.
Why MIA
Florida Certified General Contractor CGC1535875, fully insured, with the experience a Gables renovation and its approvals require.
We look at the existing residence before deciding how contemporary materials, layouts and amenities are introduced, so the work fits the home.
Gables projects often involve more design and review than a cosmetic remodel, so we develop the layout and architectural direction first.
Kitchens, baths, flooring, interiors and additions affect one another; planning them as one home creates better transitions and a more consistent result.

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.
