Why Elmstead Remodeling Is Country Club’s Preferred General Contractor Company
We’ve built our reputation in Country Club by treating homes like the families still live in them while we work. Shoe covers and drop cloths on every visit. Quiet tools during nap and school hours where the tool allows. Pet-safe product choices where there’s an option. Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed, so you know exactly who’s walking through your door.
Country Club’s housing stock is hitting a critical age. Those CBS homes built between the mid-1980s and early 2000s are now 25 to 40 years old, and the original aluminum single-pane windows, aging roof systems, and pre-Andrew framing are showing their years. We’ve handled enough of these remodels to know what waits behind the stucco before we open it.
Our phones are answered by a live person 24/7, not a voicemail box, not a bot, not a callback on Monday morning. When you call (949) 850-9896, you talk to someone who can get a crew on your calendar.
Every project starts with a written price before any work begins. No estimate that grows after the crew arrives. No change orders you didn’t approve in writing. That’s the Cedarwell Care Promise, and it governs every General Contractor in Country Club job we take on.
Styles & brands we work with
Remodeling Contractor in Country Club
Remodeling Contractor work in Country Club means opening up homes that were built to a different code era and finding what’s actually behind the walls before we quote what we can’t see. Our process starts with a thorough inspection of your existing conditions, then builds written allowances into the contract for the surprises we know are likely: outdated wiring, undersized headers, failed waterproofing, original single-pane windows with no impact protection. We price the known work upfront, and we price the probable unknowns as line-item allowances so the homeowner sees the range before demolition starts.
A typical Kitchen Remodeling in Country Club runs $14,000 – $45,000, depending on whether we’re reconfiguring walls, upgrading to NOA-approved impact windows, or working within the existing footprint. Bathroom remodels range from $9,000 – $28,000. Whole-home remodeling and room additions scale from there. Every figure is written and signed before we touch a wall.
Opening Older Walls with a Plan
We don’t guess at what’s behind Country Club stucco. Our contracts include specific allowances for framing repairs, electrical updates, and window upgrades so that when we find the problem, we already have the price and the homeowner’s written approval to proceed. No verbal “oh by the way” moments. No invoice shock.
Quiet Hours and Clean Floors
Our crews work with the family’s schedule, not against it. Quiet tools during children’s rest hours. Drop cloths on every floor surface. A photo of the clean-up before we leave, every single day. These aren’t extras we charge for. They’re included on every job.
Licensed General Contractor in Country Club
Licensed General Contractor work in Country Club carries an extra layer that contractors from Broward or Palm Beach often miss: the entire CDP sits inside Miami-Dade County’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone. Every window, door, roofing system, and structural connector must carry a Miami-Dade County Notice of Acceptance before it can be installed and pass inspection. This NOA requirement stops at the county line. An out-of-county contractor who specs a standard product catalog can watch an entire rough-in get rejected and torn out because the product numbers weren’t on the approved list.
We permit every job through Miami-Dade, pull the required inspections, and verify every product’s NOA status before it ships. Home additions in Country Club typically run $45,000 – $130,000. Garage conversions range $30,000 – $80,000. Impact window installations run $8,000 – $25,000. Roof replacements are $8,000 – $20,000. Each project gets a written price, a permit plan, and a product submittal package before work starts.
NOA Verification Before Delivery
We cross-check every product against the current Miami-Dade approved-products database before we write the purchase order. Windows, shutters, connectors, roofing underlayment, every item. The inspector gets a submittal package with NOA numbers matching the labels on the boxes. First-pass sign-offs are normal for us because we don’t skip this step.
Written Change Orders for the Unexpected
When we opened that 1994 kitchen on Palmetto Club Drive and found aluminum single-pane windows with undersized headers and no impact protection, we didn’t just keep cutting. We wrote the framing repair and window upgrade as a line-item allowance, got the homeowner’s signature on a change order, and only then proceeded. The final inspection passed on the first visit.
Trusted Brands We Service in Country Club
Our cabinet partners include KraftMaid and Wellborn, with countertops from Cambria, Silestone, and Caesarstone. Fixtures come from Kohler, Moen, and Grohe. For exterior work we specify James Hardie siding and GAF roofing systems, all with manufacturer warranties homeowners can verify independently. For modular and accessory dwelling unit projects, we also work with precision manufacturers like Abodu and Dvele. We maintain relationships with local suppliers who stock NOA-approved inventory for Country Club’s HVHZ requirements, which means faster turnaround on orders and no last-minute substitution surprises when the inspector checks labels.

AfterCommon General Contractor Problems We See in Country Club Homes
- Original aluminum single-pane windows in 1990s CBS homes were installed before Hurricane Andrew forced Miami-Dade to adopt impact requirements. Replacement jobs now require a permit, an NOA-approved impact or accordion-shutter system, and a Miami-Dade inspector sign-off, a multi-step workflow that routinely catches out-of-county contractors off guard.
- Undersized headers and outdated wiring behind stucco walls only surface after demolition begins. A quote written without a wall-opening allowance will blow up when the framing doesn’t meet current load-bearing or electrical codes.
- Standing groundwater in footer excavations during rainy season is routine on Country Club’s flat limestone shelf with its seasonally high water table. Any slab work, addition foundation, or underground utility rough-in scheduled June through October needs a dewatering plan or the concrete pour stalls.
- Minimal storm drainage gradient and low elevation mean heavy tropical weather events trigger flood-damage repair cycles. We see repeat calls for the same homes after major storms, often because the original waterproofing has aged past effectiveness.

FAQs About General Contractor in Country Club
The entire Country Club CDP sits inside Miami-Dade’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone, so every window, door, roofing system, and connector must carry a Miami-Dade County Notice of Acceptance. NOA-approved products cost more than standard catalog equivalents, and the permitting and inspection workflow adds steps that don’t exist just across the county line. Call (949) 850-9896 for an exact quote on your specific project – estimates are free.
We stop work, photograph the condition, write a line-item repair estimate, and get your signed change order before we cut another stud. Our contracts include specific allowances for the common issues we find in Country Club’s aging CBS stock: outdated wiring, undersized headers, failed waterproofing, and original single-pane windows with no impact protection. You’re never surprised by a bill. Call (949) 850-9896 to discuss how we structure allowances for your project.
Yes. Any window replacement in Country Club requires a Miami-Dade permit, and the new units must be NOA-approved impact windows or paired with an approved shutter system. The inspector will verify product labels against the approved-products database. We handle the permit application, the submittal package, and the inspection scheduling as part of our standard workflow. Call (949) 850-9896 to schedule a free estimate.
We dewater. Country Club’s flat limestone shelf and seasonally high water table mean standing groundwater in excavations is normal, especially June through October. We specify dewatering equipment in the contract when the calendar and soil conditions call for it, and we don’t pour concrete into a wet hole. The dewatering plan is priced upfront, not added as a surprise. Call (949) 850-9896 to talk through the timeline for your foundation work.
We structure draws to completed milestones, not arbitrary calendar dates. Typical splits: deposit at contract signing, then draws tied to rough-in inspection pass, final inspection pass, and project completion. Every draw is documented with inspection reports and progress photos. The final payment is due only after our clean-up photo is taken and you’ve signed the completion checklist. Call (949) 850-9896 for the specific draw schedule on your project type.
