Matching what exists · North Miami Beach, FL

An existing panel, a neighbouring run, or a detail off the house itself.

Half of custom work is not inventing anything. It is reproducing a picket profile, a scroll or a cap that already exists on the property so the new piece does not announce itself as new.

Matching something that already exists is most of the work — an existing panel, a neighbouring run, or a detail lifted off the house itself.

A shared entrance belongs to everybody, which makes downtime a governance problem as much as a mechanical one.

Two approvals, not one

Anything structural at the property line in Miami-Dade answers to the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone standard, and that is what sets the frame and the fixings. Separately, North Miami Beach runs a local review, and where a homeowners' association governs the street it generally runs one of its own. Neither is a thing to discover after fabrication.

Do I need a permit for this?
Often, and Miami-Dade is inside the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, so the wind rating matters too. Permits are issued locally, so we confirm what your authority wants before we start.
What is the HVHZ?
The High-Velocity Hurricane Zone — the Florida Building Code's strictest wind-load region. It covers all of Miami-Dade, which is why the hardware spec here is not the spec further north.
I have a sketch, not a drawing.
A sketch is enough to start. We draw it properly and show you the gate on your entrance.
Can you match something that already exists?
Yes — an existing panel, a neighbouring property's detail, or a piece of the house itself.
