Our Services

From foundation to finish

Commercial build-outs are what we do best — but whatever you're building, you get one accountable team, clear communication, and craftsmanship you can stand on. We're also a preferred insurance contractor for inspections and claims.

01 — Commercial Build-Outs · Our Specialty

Spaces that open on schedule

From an empty shell or a tired space to a business that's ready to open. We've built everything from boutique fitness and Pilates studios to professional offices and retail — and we understand that for a commercial client, every day past deadline costs money. So we plan tightly, pull the right permits, and communicate constantly.

  • Fitness & Pilates studios, gyms & wellness spaces
  • Retail, office & medical/professional fit-outs
  • Tenant improvements & white-box build-outs
  • ADA- & code-compliant delivery, inspections handled
02 — General Contracting

We manage the entire build so you don't have to chase subs or surprises. From permitting and scheduling to budget tracking and the final walkthrough, you have a single point of contact and a clear plan at every stage — with weekly progress photos so you always know where things stand.

  • Pre-construction planning & up-front budgeting
  • Permitting & code compliance
  • Scheduling, sub-management & quality control

05 — Impact Windows & Doors

Factory-direct impact windows & doors

As direct dealers with leading manufacturers, we supply and install hurricane impact-rated windows and doors at factory-direct pricing — with the documentation South Florida code requires and the warranty backing only an authorized installer can provide.

  • Hurricane impact-rated (Miami-Dade / Florida NOA)
  • Factory-direct manufacturer pricing
  • Energy-efficient — lower utility bills
  • Manufacturer warranty + expert installation
06 — Permits & Code Compliance

We'll get your project legal

Open or expired permits, unpermitted work, or a code violation left by another contractor — we pull permits for new work and bring existing properties back into compliance with the building department.

  • Open / expired permit resolution
  • Inspections coordinated through final sign-off

Permits & Code Compliance

Get your project legal — and keep it that way

An expired permit, an open violation, or work that was never permitted? As a licensed General Contractor, we help South Florida owners get back into compliance — and pull the right permits for new work the first time.

Permit pulling & expediting

The right approvals, before work starts

We pull and manage the permits your project needs and coordinate with the local building department so approvals don't hold up your timeline. You get one team that owns the paperwork from application to final sign-off.

  • Permit applications & document prep
  • Plan-review coordination
  • Expediting with local building departments
  • Inspection scheduling through final sign-off
Code compliance & violation correction

Bring it up to code

Inherited unpermitted work, a failed inspection, or a violation from another contractor? We assess what's there, scope the fix, and bring the property up to current Florida Building Code — then see it through re-inspection and closeout.

  • Open / expired permit resolution
  • Unpermitted work brought into compliance
  • Code violation correction
  • Re-inspection & closeout
Common issues we resolve
