AfterConstruction Services in Sunny Isles Beach, FL
Construction in Sunny Isles Beach means working on a razor-thin barrier island where the Atlantic sits a few blocks east and the Intracoastal a few blocks west. We know the towers, the HOAs, the corrosion problems, and the permit process here. If you own a condo at Porsche Design Tower, a 1960s garden unit off Collins Avenue, or anything in between, call (877) 610-1318 and you’ll get Tom Barrett or one of his sons on the line, not a call center.

Why Sunny Isles Beach Homeowners Choose Barrett & Sons Construction
We’re the owner-operated crew that shows up with Tom’s name on the truck and Tom’s sons running the work. Homeowners in the towers along Collins Avenue and the older condo pockets near 174th Street call us because the last contractor they hired quoted one number and delivered another. That doesn’t happen here. Every scope, every allowance, every price change arrives as a written change order before a single nail moves. We pull permits on every eligible job, and the inspector signs off before we call it done.
We’ve done work in Golden Shores and the condo corridor around 178th Street, plus units inside the big towers near the Newport Pier. Sunny Isles Beach homeowners see us again at the Publix on Collins or walking the beach path, and that matters when something goes sideways. Call us, and a live person answers, any hour. Tom publishes his name, his address, and his license number. Look it up before you sign anything.
Construction Services We Offer in Sunny Isles Beach
Kitchen Remodeling
Condo Kitchen Remodeling in Sunny Isles Beach usually means tight spaces, and most of the pre-2000 buildings still carry original plumbing risers that can’t move without triggering Miami-Dade re-inspection. We spec kitchens around what your tower’s HOA actually allows, using KraftMaid and Cambria so you can look up every material by name.
Learn more about our Kitchen Remodeling in Sunny Isles Beach.
Bathroom Remodeling
Waterproofing matters double on a barrier island where every wall cavity carries salt air. We pull permits even on Bathroom Remodeling - Sunny Isles Beach gut jobs, because the Miami-Dade HVHZ inspection pathway will catch a skipped waterproofing layer if we don’t.

Roofing
Condo towers here need HVAC screen walls and mechanical pads resealed as much as they need our Roofing in Sunny Isles Beach membranes replaced, and both are HVHZ-inspected for wind uplift. We install GAF and CertainTeed systems with continuous load-path hardware that passes the first time.
Learn more about our Roofing in Sunny Isles Beach.
Windows & Doors
Windows & Doors in Sunny Isles Beach require impact-rated glazing, and units facing the Atlantic need PGT, CGI, or Simonton systems tested for missile impact at 50-plus-story wind speeds. We order and install product with the Miami-Dade NOA paperwork already attached.
Fence Installation
Ground-level fencing is rare here, but when terraces, pool decks, and ground-floor patios need enclosure or wind-screening, we install with stainless hardware and epoxy-coated posts. Salt spray eats galvanized fasteners within three years on this island.
Driveway & Pavers
Underground parking decks, turnaround aprons, and valet lanes need dewatering from the first day because the water table here sits just below grade. We use Belgard and Techo-Bloc pavers over properly drained base layers that won’t heave in the first wet season.
Home Additions & ADU
If your building predates the 1980s and you own air rights or a cabana structure, we can assess whether your lot can legally add square footage under current Sunny Isles Beach zoning. Most additions here are vertical or structural retrofits, not suburban room extensions.
Neighborhoods We Serve in Sunny Isles Beach
We work all over the island, but you’ll see our trucks most often in:
- Golden Shores
- The condo corridor around 178th Street
- Collins Avenue tower district from 158th to 183rd
- Ocean Boulevard and the Newport Pier area
- Twentieth-century garden condos west of Collins near 174th
Because the island is only a few blocks wide, we’re typically on site within one business day of the estimate.
Why Sunny Isles Beach’s Climate & Housing Affect Construction
Sunny Isles Beach was rebuilt from a strip of 1960s and 1970s motels into a canyon of 50-to-70-story glass condominium towers, and that changes every job we take. There is almost no single-family housing stock left. Construction here means luxury high-rise work or gut-renovating individual units inside towers governed by strict HOA renovation rules, not suburban room additions. Every ground-up project on this island sits on ultra-deep pile foundations driven through loose barrier-island sand under Miami-Dade’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone code. That’s among the strictest wind-resistance requirements in the country.
The salt spray never stops. At 1,500 feet wide at its widest point, the island puts every job between the Atlantic and the Intracoastal, where chlorides accelerate corrosion of rebar, fasteners, and embedded anchors faster than anywhere inland. We specify stainless or epoxy-coated hardware and higher concrete cover specs even on routine repairs, because galvanized steel fails early here and nobody wants a call-back inside a finished wall.
Pricing for Construction in Sunny Isles Beach
Sunny Isles Beach runs toward the higher end of South Florida construction pricing because the site conditions demand it: HVHZ inspections, dewatering on below-grade work, salt-rated hardware, and tower logistics like freight elevator scheduling and crane time. A condo kitchen remodel here typically lands between $45,000 and $90,000 depending on cabinet grade and whether plumbing risers need rerouted. Bathroom gut renovations run $28,000 to $55,000. Impact-rated window packages in a high-floor Collins Avenue unit run $1,200 to $2,400 per opening installed, depending on brand and missile-rating level. Roofing and HVAC screen repairs run $18 to $35 per square foot because of high-rise access and HVHZ re-inspection fees. Scope in writing. Allowances in writing. Change orders in writing. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll put a line-item estimate on paper.

FAQs About Construction in Sunny Isles Beach
Most condo kitchen remodels here run between $45,000 and $90,000, depending on whether your building requires plumbing riser reroutes, freight elevator scheduling, and specific cabinet or stone brands. Call (877) 610-1318 for a written, line-item estimate. Estimates are free, and our standing offer is $40 off any repair over $200.
Yes, in almost every case. Pulling a permit in Sunny Isles Beach triggers Miami-Dade’s HVHZ inspection pathway, which is more rigorous than standard Florida Building Code review. Inspectors verify impact-rated glazing, continuous load-path connectors, and wind-uplift calculations at every stage. We pull permits on every eligible job and the inspector signs off before we consider it finished.
Not without a written change order. Every scope, every allowance, every price adjustment arrives on paper before work happens. If a surprise shows up inside the wall, you’ll see it in writing with the new number before anyone picks up a tool. No surprise invoices at the end.
The island is about 1,500 feet wide at its widest point, so every job sits between two saltwater bodies. Corrosion moves fast, the water table is near grade, and wind loads are extreme. Construction requires stainless or epoxy-coated hardware, higher concrete cover, and HVHZ inspections that inland contractors aren’t always familiar with. That unfamiliarity causes stop-work orders and re-inspections. We know the dual-track process.
Most condo remodels run 6 to 12 weeks depending on HOA approval windows, freight elevator scheduling, and HVHZ inspection timing. We’ll give you a written schedule with permit and inspection milestones, and Tom picks up the phone if anything shifts. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate.

What Sunny Isles Beach Customers Say
"Tom Barrett was on our job most days himself, not just at the quote and then never again. When something needed deciding there was an actual person to decide it with."
- Rosalie Pemberton"Came back a year later to sort a door that had dropped as the frame settled. No charge and no argument about whether it was covered."
- Thaddeus Oyelowo"Addition over the garage matched the original roofline and brickwork so closely that visitors do not realise it was added. He tracked down the closest brick he could find rather than settling."
