Restaurant Remodeling in Miami

In Miami’s hyper-competitive hospitality scene, your food is only half the battle. The atmosphere, flow, and design of your restaurant define your brand and dictate your menu pricing. You need a restaurant remodeling contractor who understands the intersection of high-end design and commercial kitchen functionality.

​

We specialize in restaurant renovation in Miami, offering turnkey solutions that minimize downtime and maximize ROI. We don’t just update spaces; we build profitable environments tailored to the specific demands of South Florida.

Revitalize Your Brand: Why Remodel Now

​

When you choose to remodel, you are making a strategic investment in your business’s longevity. In a city driven by trends and "Instagrammable" moments, a tired interior can cost you foot traffic. Whether you plan to renovate a historic Art Deco diner in Miami Beach or convert a warehouse in Wynwood into a fast-casual concept, upgrades are essential for staying competitive.

​

Our strategic approach focuses on three key ROI drivers:

​​

• Increased Capacity: we optimize floor plans to add tables without sacrificing guest comfort, directly boosting your nightly cover count.

• Operational Efficiency: a redesigned flow reduces server steps and kitchen bottlenecks, speeding up ticket times.

• Energy Efficiency: we install modern HVAC systems, LED lighting, and water-saving fixtures to significantly lower your FPL and water utility costs.

​

Full-Service Hospitality Construction

 

Unlike general builders, dedicated restaurant refurbishment contractors understand the unique DNA of a hospitality venue. We know that a pretty dining room means nothing if the kitchen fails.

 

As a full-service restaurant renovation company, we bridge the gap between the Chef’s needs and the Designer’s vision.

 

The Guest Experience

 

We create immersive environments that keep guests coming back:

• Custom lighting plans that transition perfectly from lunch service to late-night lounge vibes;

• Strategic use of sound-absorbing materials to ensure your restaurant is lively, not deafening;

• Statement bar designs and custom banquettes that serve as the visual anchor of your space.

 

Back of House: The Engine Room

 

From ground-up construction to a strategic restaurant refit, we build kitchens that prioritize your culinary team's workflow.
 

• Optimization of the "Line" for maximum output and safety.

• Upgrading Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing systems to handle heavy equipment loads.

• Installation of non-slip flooring, wash-down walls, and proper ventilation systems to ensure you pass Health Department inspections on the first try.

​

Permitting & Compliance

​

Miami-Dade has some of the strictest building codes in the country. Navigating the bureaucracy of the City of Miami, Miami Beach, or Coral Gables requires specific expertise. We handle the entire compliance process, including:

​

• Calculating and installing the correct grease interception systems required by Miami-Dade environmental codes;

• Navigating restrictions when working in protected districts (e.g., Ocean Drive);

• Addressing structural repairs required for older buildings;

• Managing the complex process of converting retail or office space into a licensed restaurant.

 

Minimizing Downtime

 

We know that every day your doors are closed is a day of lost revenue. Our project management methodology is designed for speed to market.

 

1. Whenever possible, we structure the build so you can remain partially open (e.g., upgrading the patio while the dining room operates).

2. Our crews are available for weekend shifts to perform disruptive work outside of your service hours.

3. We order long-lead items (custom furniture, kitchen equipment) before demolition begins to prevent supply chain delays.

FAQ

Do I need a permit for a cosmetic renovation?
In Miami-Dade, almost always. Even moving a sink or adding new lighting requires electrical and plumbing permits. We handle all permitting to ensure you don't run into compliance issues.

How long does a commercial kitchen remodel take?
A simple equipment swap and cosmetic refresh can take 2-3 weeks. A full renovation with new plumbing and electrical typically takes 8-12 weeks, depending on permit processing speeds.

Can you help with "Change of Use" from retail to restaurant?
Yes. This is complex because restaurants have higher requirements for fire safety, water capacity, and waste management than retail stores. We assess the feasibility of the site before you sign the lease.

How much does it cost to upgrade a restaurant in Miami?
Costs vary wildly based on finishes and kitchen equipment. We provide transparent, line-item estimates so you know exactly where your budget is going.​​​​​​
