Coral Gables · Miami-Dade County · Licensed construction
Kitchen remodeling in Coral Gables, fitted to the house—not imposed on it.
A permitted kitchen scoped to the home's value, daily use, and South Florida climate. A Coral Gables kitchen often sits inside an older masonry home with established proportions, prior alterations, and a specific architectural language. The right remodel improves function without disconnecting the room from the property.
The direct answer
What should a kitchen remodel in Coral Gables solve first?
Protect the home's architectural coherence while bringing layout, systems, and daily function current.
Coral Gables combines older masonry homes, established landscaping, distinctive architecture, and a municipal review process that can shape exterior and structural work. Renovation planning must respect both the building and the approvals attached to it.
One property, two clearly disclosed roles. Academia Real Estate Corp handles brokerage and market context. Academia Development handles construction under the applicable license and a separate construction agreement. Neither side substitutes for an inspector, engineer, architect, insurer, attorney, appraiser, or public adjuster when that professional is required.

Questions before a kitchen remodel in Coral Gables
Do I need a permit for a kitchen remodel?
Cosmetic finish swaps may not require the same review as electrical, plumbing, structural, or mechanical changes. The applicable building department determines the permit path for the actual scope, so we establish that path before work begins.
Can you tell me whether the remodel is worth doing before a sale?
Yes. The brokerage and construction sides evaluate the same scope from different licensed roles: probable market contribution on one side and actual construction requirements on the other. No resale return is guaranteed.
Do you serve Coral Gables?
Yes. This page covers kitchen remodel inquiries in Coral Gables, Miami-Dade County. Availability, permit path, property access, and final scope are confirmed for the specific address before work is scheduled.
Are the brokerage and construction services the same contract?
No. Academia Real Estate Corp provides licensed real-estate brokerage services. Construction is contracted through the appropriately licensed Academia construction entity, with the capacity, compensation, scope, and responsibility disclosed separately in writing.
