Built properly.
Permitted correctly.
Finished in record time.

It depends on scope, and permitting is usually the part people underestimate. A single bathroom might run 4–8 weeks of construction; a kitchen often 6–12; a whole-home renovation several months. Permit review in Miami-Dade, Broward or Palm Beach can add weeks before construction legally starts, which is why we start that process early rather than after design is finalised.

Almost certainly, if the work is structural, electrical, plumbing or mechanical — which covers most real remodeling. Purely cosmetic work like painting or a like-for-like flooring swap is one of the few genuine exceptions. We pull permits directly rather than leaving that to the homeowner.

We provide project estimates following a consultation and site visit. Because the condition of what is behind the walls materially changes cost, we price the visible scope honestly and flag likely contingencies rather than burying them in a number that changes later.

Miami-Dade and Broward sit inside Florida’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone. Structural, roofing, window and door products installed there must carry a valid Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance. Palm Beach falls just outside HVHZ but is still governed by Wind-Borne Debris Region rules. We verify product approvals before ordering, not after an inspection flags it.

Often yes for a single-room or partial renovation, though expect real disruption — dust, noise, and periods without a working kitchen or bathroom. Whole-home renovations more often call for temporary relocation, at least during the most invasive phases. We will tell you honestly which one your project is.

Yes, and we identify which apply during the first site visit rather than after materials are ordered. Association and architectural review can add real weeks to a timeline, and historic districts often carry specific material requirements. Planning for it up front is far cheaper than reacting to it.

For most residential remodeling we can handle design and construction together, which is usually faster and better coordinated. Larger structural projects, additions and new construction typically do require a licensed architect or engineer of record, which we coordinate directly.

Material tier, how much layout is changing versus staying put, the condition found once walls are opened, and permit complexity — often more than square footage alone. Moving plumbing or structure costs meaningfully more than a like-for-like finish update.

Yes. Elbaz Construction is a licensed, bonded and insured general contractor operating under License No. CBC1265280, serving Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties.

Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties — 104 municipalities across the three. If you are not sure whether your address is covered, the service area section above is searchable, or you can call us and we will tell you straight away.

Yes. We offer $0 down payment and 100% financing, with terms from 12 to 240 months depending on the program. Financing details are reviewed during your consultation so the numbers are clear before design work starts.

Yes — accessory dwelling units, garage conversions and room additions are one of our core services. That work adds permitted square footage, which means the same planning and permitting process as new construction: zoning review, structural and MEP drawings, and Miami-Dade, Broward or Palm Beach permit approval before we start building.
