Fast, Reliable Home Remodeling Across Fountainebleau
Home remodeling in Fountainebleau means working with a contractor who understands unincorporated Miami-Dade County’s permit process, not the City of Miami’s. A typical kitchen remodel here runs $14,000 to $45,000, while Bathroom Remodeling in Fountainebleau lands between $9,000 and $28,000. Those are the numbers we put in writing before any work starts. If you’re planning a remodel anywhere near Fontainebleau Boulevard or the Blue Lakes area, call (803) 680-2547 and we’ll walk you through what your specific home actually needs.
Our Home Remodeling team has worked on enough 1960s-to-1980s ranch and two-story homes in this part of Miami-Dade to know what hides behind the drywall: slab-on-grade foundations, older electrical panels, copper plumbing that’s nearing its useful life. That local knowledge changes how we scope the work, price it, and schedule the inspections. It’s why we write the permit path into the estimate from day one.

Styles & brands we work with
Home Remodeling Contractor in Fountainebleau
A Home Remodeling Contractor in Fountainebleau does more than swing a hammer. The job starts with walking the home, checking the slab, the panel, the plumbing runs, and the existing layout, then mapping what Miami-Dade County’s RER office will require for permits. From there, we write a line-item price that covers labor, materials, and the specific allowances for cabinets, countertops, and tile. If your home was built between the 1960s and 1980s, there’s a good chance the remodel triggers electrical and plumbing rough-in reviews that a newer build would skip.
Scoping the Work Before Demo Day
We spend the time up front to open walls on paper, not on site. That means identifying load-bearing headers, checking whether the existing subfloor can handle new tile, and confirming the panel has room for new circuits. On a 1970s Fountainebleau home, that pre-scope is the difference between a clean permit sign-off and a surprise rebuild.
Kitchen and Bath Focus
Most of our Fountainebleau work centers on kitchens and baths, because those are the rooms where older construction shows up first. Cabinets that don’t match current standards, countertops with years of wear, plumbing that’s original to the home. A kitchen remodel in Fountainebleau runs $14,000 to $45,000 depending on layout changes, cabinet grade, and whether we’re moving walls. A small kitchen remodel can start around $9,000.
Home Renovation in Fountainebleau
Home Renovation in Fountainebleau often means more than a surface refresh. It’s the wall that comes down to open the galley kitchen, the electrical panel that can’t handle a modern appliance load, the subfloor that needs sistering before new tile goes down. A full home addition in Fountainebleau runs $45,000 to $130,000, and that range reflects the real cost drivers: foundation work on slab, structural headers, county inspections, and finish materials.
Structural Work and County Sign-Off
When a renovation involves moving walls or changing the roofline, the Miami-Dade County RER process controls the calendar. We pull the permit, schedule the inspections, and make sure the work passes on the first rough-in pass whenever possible. That’s not a guarantee we make lightly, and it’s why we scope carefully before demo.
Flooring, Windows, and Doors
Floor installation, window replacement, and door replacement are all part of what we handle under a Home Renovation. Window replacement in Fountainebleau typically runs $4,500 to $15,000 depending on the number of openings and whether you’re upgrading to impact-rated glass. Flooring costs depend on material, but we quote it line by line so you can see exactly where the money goes.
Trusted Brands We Service in Fountainebleau
We install and service what Fountainebleau homes already have, and we also bring specification-grade options when you’re replacing. Cabinet lines like KraftMaid and Wellborn, countertop brands like Cambria and Silestone, fixtures from Kohler, Moen, and Toto. If your project calls for roofing, we work with GAF, CertainTeed, and Owens Corning products. We work with prefab and modular brands like Abodu and Dvele when a Fountainebleau homeowner wants a faster path on an ADU or addition. We stock or have quick access to common repair parts for these brands, which keeps turnaround on finish work moving.

AfterCommon Home Remodeling Problems We See in Fountainebleau Homes
- Skipped permits on walls that look non-load-bearing. In Fountainebleau’s older ranch stock, a hidden header or shear wall often sits behind drywall. Removing it without Miami-Dade County RER sign-off forces a costly rebuild and can stall your entire project.
- Slab and electrical surprises. Homes from the 1960s through the 1980s frequently need subfloor fixes, panel upgrades, or copper-to-PEX repipe work before rough-in inspection passes. These aren’t visible until demo day, which is why we pre-scope every job.
- Verbal scopes with loose allowances. A homeowner picks Cambria quartz when the verbal estimate assumed allowance-grade stone, and the change order pushes a $14K kitchen toward $32K. We write allowances in dollars and brand names before you sign.
- Original plumbing near the end of its service life. Galvanized supply lines and old cast-iron drains are common in Fountainebleau homes of this era. If we catch it during pre-scope, it goes in the written price instead of appearing as a surprise invoice later.
Pricing for Home Remodeling in Fountainebleau, FL

FAQs About Home Remodeling in Fountainebleau
It’s a Miami-Dade County permit. Fountainebleau sits in unincorporated Miami-Dade County, so permits are pulled through the county’s RER office, not the City of Miami’s building department. That changes plan-review submission, inspection scheduling, and who signs off. We handle that paperwork as part of the written scope, and we don’t start work until the permit path is clear. Call (803) 680-2547 if you want us to check your specific address and project.
A typical kitchen remodel in Fountainebleau runs $14,000 to $45,000. The biggest cost drivers are moving walls, cabinet grade, countertop material, and what we find when we open the walls: subfloor damage, an undersized electrical panel, or old plumbing that needs replacement. We write cabinet, countertop, and tile allowances in specific dollar amounts with brand names, so you know before you sign whether a Cambria upgrade moves the number. Call (803) 680-2547 for a free line-item estimate.
A small bathroom remodel in Fountainebleau typically takes 3 to 5 weeks from the day the permit is submitted to the final walkthrough, assuming no major structural surprises. A larger bathroom with a walk-in shower or tub-to-shower conversion can run 5 to 8 weeks. The county inspection calendar is the variable we can’t control, but we schedule rough-in and final inspections as early as the RER office allows. Call (803) 680-2547 and we’ll give you a realistic calendar for your specific bathroom.
A draw schedule is the payment plan tied to completed milestones, not a lump sum up front. On a Fountainebleau remodel, we typically structure draws around permit issuance, rough-in inspection, and final sign-off. It matters because it protects you: you pay for work as it’s completed and inspected, not before. We put the draw schedule in writing with the price, so you can see exactly when each payment is due and what triggers it. Call (803) 680-2547 for a sample draw schedule on your project type.
We stop and put it in writing. If demo uncovers a structural issue, a subfloor problem, or plumbing that won’t pass county inspection, we give you a written change order with the exact cost and reason before any additional work proceeds. You approve it or you don’t. That’s the rule, and it’s how we avoid surprise invoices and a $14K kitchen turning into a $32K kitchen without your signed okay. Call (803) 680-2547 to talk through what we typically find in Fountainebleau’s older homes.
