Palmetto Bay's family homes — many of them mid-century ranches and waterfront properties — are prime candidates for a warm, modern transformation.
This is one of South Miami-Dade's most family-oriented villages, full of homes built decades ago that are ready for open kitchens, updated baths, and durable, storm-smart finishes. For canal and coastal-exposure properties, we build to High-Velocity Hurricane Zone standards. The Palmetto Bay Pool-View Remodel — a full renovation that opened the entire ground floor to the pool — is one of our favorites in this corner of the county.


"Our whole house feels new — and it still feels like us. They respected the character of the home while bringing everything up to date."
— Homeowner, Palmetto Bay
The village is mostly 1960s and '70s ranches on lots deep enough that the back of the house matters as much as the front. Projects here tend to start in one of two places: the kitchen, or the wall between the living space and the pool. Once either one moves, flooring almost always follows, because a new kitchen butted against forty-year-old tile is a compromise you notice every day. Interior painting and trim usually close the job out, since the walls have already been opened.
East of Old Cutler, exposure decides finishes. Salt-laden air is hard on hardware, hinges and unsealed stone, so cabinet hardware and faucet finishes get specified for it at design time instead of being swapped a year later. The same applies to anything within reach of a pool deck. Our open layout and kitchen pages cover the two most common starting points, and the Palmetto Bay pool-view remodel shows both in one house.
Most Palmetto Bay kitchen remodels run from the mid-$20,000s for a quality refresh to $75,000+ for a full gut renovation, confirmed in a written estimate first.
Guest bathrooms typically run $12,000–$25,000 and primary bathrooms $25,000–$60,000+ in 2026, depending on scope and finishes. Every project gets a written estimate first.
Most Palmetto Bay bathrooms take about a week when the layout stays put, and kitchens 5–8 weeks of construction. A whole-home renovation runs 3–6 months, and we map the full schedule up front.
Regularly. The differences are practical rather than structural: material staging has to respect a narrower side yard, finished surfaces get protected longer because humidity slows cure times, and hardware is specified for salt exposure from the start.
