South Miami has called itself the “City of Pleasant Living” since before its 1927 incorporation, and its walkable downtown along Sunset Drive still anchors the surrounding neighborhoods, many filled with older bungalows and single-family homes built in the decades after the city’s founding. Close to the University of Miami and shaded by mature trees, it’s a city where older housing stock and a strong sense of neighborhood identity go hand in hand.

Keeping that scale and character intact while updating what’s underneath is the goal behind most Elbaz Construction projects in South Miami — new roofing, hurricane-rated windows, and electrical and plumbing systems that have outlived their original design life. We manage the city’s permitting process directly, so homeowners near Sunset Drive or the surrounding blocks get a renovation that fits the neighborhood without navigating City Hall on their own.
