How does DAG renovate a historic house in Coral Gables?
Older homes in the Coral Gables historic district and neighborhoods like it, with the character kept and the structure, the wiring and the plumbing brought up to date. An older house in Coral Gables has a character worth keeping and, usually, a structure that needs help. We keep the original details where they are and bring the structure, the wiring, the plumbing and the finishes up to date. Work in the historic district goes through its own review board. We handle those approvals along with the permits, and we build the schedule around how long they take. One estimate format, a superintendent on site, progress in writing.

Should I pull a permit, or can the work be done without one?
Pull the permit. Most construction in Miami-Dade County requires one, and unpermitted work has a way of surfacing later, when you sell the house or file an insurance claim. We handle the permit from the application through the final inspection as part of the job, so you are never the one standing in line at the building department.
Do I need an architect for my project?
Yes, for anything structural or anything that needs a permit, and in Miami-Dade that covers most renovations and additions. If you can, bring us the drawings before they are final. We read plans for what is missing, not just what is drawn, and we bring it up before pricing, so the estimate covers the real job.
Can we value-engineer the project to save money?
Yes, and the right time to do it is before the estimate is final. Value engineering just means finding another way to get the same result for less: a different material, a simpler way to carry a load, a change in the order of work. Some of those choices lower the price and nobody would ever notice. A few would show. We tell you which is which, and you decide.
