Homestead sits at the southern edge of Miami-Dade County, bordering the farmland of the Redland and the entrance roads into Everglades and Biscayne National Parks. Hurricane Andrew leveled much of the city in 1992, and the building boom that followed means a large share of Homestead’s housing stock is newer construction built to post-Andrew wind codes, standing alongside older farmhouses and agricultural homesteads that survived the storm and were rebuilt piece by piece in the years after.

Elbaz Construction understands that a Homestead remodeling project often starts with a structural question before it gets to finishes: was this home built before or after 1992, and to what code was it built? We evaluate a property on those terms first, then handle the addition, renovation, or storm-hardening upgrade with permitting through the City of Homestead and Miami-Dade County, so the finished work holds up to the next storm season, not just the next inspection.
