Luxury Construction in Coral Gables
The City Beautiful holds its builders to a higher standard, and Xpert Construction Group was built for exactly that. As the leading licensed design-build contractor in Coral Gables, we bring planning, architecture, engineering, permitting, and construction under one roof — essential in a city where the Board of Architects reviews the aesthetics of nearly every exterior change. Our drawings arrive at that review prepared to pass, not to bounce.
With 25+ years of combined field experience and Florida license CRC 1335930, we take on the Gables' most demanding work: custom home building in Gables Estates and Cocoplum, Mediterranean Revival restorations, and seamless home additions that respect original rooflines and materials. Expect clear timelines, meticulous quality control, and a team that treats the city's architectural legacy as a specification, not an obstacle.
Building in Coral Gables: Local Knowledge Matters
Coral Gables was master-planned in the 1920s around Mediterranean Revival architecture, and that DNA still governs the market — barrel-tile roofs, stucco, and coral rock from the Granada entrance to Old Cutler Road. The stock runs from historic homes near the Biltmore and in Country Club sections to waterfront estates in Gables Estates, Cocoplum, and Snapper Creek Lakes, plus mid-century houses in Riviera and near UM. Distinctively, the city's Board of Architects must approve the design of exterior work before the Development Services Department issues building permits, layered on top of Miami-Dade High-Velocity Hurricane Zone requirements for windows, doors, and roofing. We build both approvals into every project schedule from day one.What we build in Coral Gables
Our Services in Coral Gables, FL
Custom Home Building
A custom home in Coral Gables must satisfy the Board of Architects, the zoning code, and HVHZ engineering before it can satisfy you. Xpert designs residences — Mediterranean, transitional, or modern where permitted — that clear aesthetic review cleanly, then builds them with the craftsmanship expected in Gables Estates, Cocoplum, and the city's historic core.
Custom Home Building →Home Remodeling
Remodeling a Gables home means working with plaster walls, coral rock, barrel tile, and decades of prior renovations. Our teams modernize kitchens, baths, and systems while preserving the details that give these houses their value, managing Board of Architects submittals for exterior changes and city permits for everything behind the walls.
Home Remodeling →Kitchen Remodeling
Many Coral Gables kitchens are original compartments in houses built for a different era of living. We open them to family rooms and loggias, add custom cabinetry and stone worthy of the architecture, and relocate gas, electrical, and plumbing as needed — engineered, permitted through Development Services, and finished with genuinely obsessive attention to detail.
Kitchen Remodeling →Home Additions
Additions in Coral Gables succeed when they look inevitable — matching roof pitch, stucco texture, and window proportions so the new wing reads as original. Xpert designs family-room wings, primary suites, and second stories that pass Board of Architects review, then executes the structural tie-ins to HVHZ standards without disrupting the rest of the residence.
Home Additions →ADU Construction
Guest cottages have been part of Gables estates since the 1920s, and today's zoning still allows accessory units on qualifying lots. We confirm what your property permits, design a cottage or garage conversion that complements the main house, and carry it through aesthetic review, permitting, and construction as a single accountable team.
ADU Construction →Coral Gables Construction FAQs
What is the Coral Gables Board of Architects and will my project need its approval?
The Board of Architects reviews the design of exterior work in Coral Gables — new homes, additions, and most visible alterations — before building permits are issued. Purely interior remodels generally skip it. Xpert prepares Board submittals routinely and builds that review into the project schedule.
How much do renovations cost in Coral Gables?
Gables work tends toward the upper end of typical South Florida ranges because of finish quality, aesthetic review, and the care older structures require. Significant remodels commonly run from the low six figures upward, with estate renovations and custom homes well beyond that. We price from a detailed written scope.
How long does a Coral Gables remodel or addition take?
Add several weeks up front for Board of Architects review on exterior work, followed by city permit review. Once construction starts, kitchens and single-room remodels typically run a few months, while additions and whole-home projects generally span six to eighteen months depending on scope.
Which Coral Gables neighborhoods does Xpert serve?
All of them — the historic sections near the Biltmore and Granada Golf Course, Riviera, South Gables near UM, and the waterfront communities of Gables Estates, Cocoplum, Snapper Creek Lakes, and Hammock Oaks. We also serve neighboring Coconut Grove, Pinecrest, and South Miami.
