Permits, inspections and every trade coordinated under one Florida certified GC across Miami & Fort Lauderdale. We seal off the work, protect the rest of your house, and hold the schedule we promised.
We got your request and will call you back shortly (Mon–Fri, 8am–6pm ET).
The role
A general contractor is the difference between a project and a pile of separate trades pointing at each other. We hold the permits, the schedule, the budget and the standard, and we answer for all of it, so you deal with one accountable team instead of ten.
Why it matters
Anyone can hang a door. Getting the permit approved, the electrician, plumber and tile setter in the right order, the inspection passed and the site clean the whole way through is the actual work. That is where projects run late or over budget, and it is exactly where we earn our keep.
How it works
Homeowners
We had a great experience using FF Builders. Their team communicated clearly throughout the length of our project. We never had to worry about a single detail. I would highly recommend using them for your project.

They are the best! Everything was perfect. Super responsible, reliable and always on time. I recommend them 100%.

What we take on
The house emptied and put back: layout, kitchen, baths, floors, electrical, plumbing and finish. One contract, one schedule, one crew answering for all of it.
The two rooms that move plumbing and electrical, which is where a license stops being paperwork and starts being the reason the job passes inspection.
The wall that comes down, the opening that gets widened, the ceiling that gets raised. Engineered, permitted and inspected, not guessed at.
Pulled in our name, scheduled around the trades, and closed out. An open permit follows the property at resale, so we finish what we start.
Electrician, plumber, tile, cabinet, stone. They show up in the right order because someone sequenced it, not because they all got the same address.
Association approval, certificate of insurance, service elevator windows and work-hour limits. Planned before the first day, not discovered on it.
What it costs
Nobody can price a renovation over the phone, and any contractor who tries is guessing at your expense. Three things set the number, and only one of them is finishes.
We come out within 24 hours, walk the property, and put the scope in writing before anyone talks about a number. What is on the signed proposal is what you pay.
Before you hire anyone
Owns the whole job. Pulls the permits in their own name, hires and sequences the trades, keeps the schedule, handles the inspections and answers for the result. The difference between a GC and a handyman is not skill, it is who carries the license and the liability when something goes wrong.
Renovating restores what is there: same layout, new finishes. Remodeling changes it: walls move, plumbing and electrical relocate, the room becomes a different room. Renovating rarely needs a permit. Remodeling almost always does, and that is where a licensed contractor stops being optional.
On a full renovation, the contractor's portion typically runs 10 to 20 percent of the project, and it covers permits, scheduling, supervision, insurance and warranty. Beware of anyone quoting an hourly rate on a renovation, because it means nobody has scoped the work yet.
For structural work, anything that moves plumbing or electrical, and anything that needs a permit, yes. Florida licenses contracting, and unlicensed work can fail inspection, void your insurance and follow the property at resale. Ask to see the license number and the certificate of insurance before anyone starts.
A kitchen or bath runs six to ten weeks once permits are in hand. A whole-home renovation runs months. Permitting time varies by city and is the part nobody controls, which is why we give you a start date and an end date in writing rather than a promise on the phone.
It sometimes does, once a wall is open. You get told before any work or money moves, in writing, with the options and what each one costs. No change order gets signed by us on your behalf.

Waterproofing, tile and the plumbing that decides whether it lasts.
When more than one room changes and the schedule has to hold together.
Large-format porcelain, stone and wood, run through the whole main level.
Interior and exterior, with the prep that decides how the finish ages here.
