Aventura — Miami-Dade
Aventura is dense with high-rise condo towers, and that shapes every tile job here. We remodel kitchens and bathrooms, set countertops and replace floors in Aventura units, and we prepare the association package and the City of Aventura permit submittal before work starts.

A tile job in an Aventura tower starts with paperwork, not with a saw. Aventura is a separate city with its own building department, so a permit for work inside city limits comes from the City of Aventura, not from Miami-Dade County. Your association has its own approval on top of that. Many associations set work hours, require elevator reservations and ask for sound-control underlayment under hard floors. We put both packages together in the same week, so neither one holds up the other.
Then comes the order of work, and it does not change from unit to unit. Demolition first, then any plumbing changes, then the waterproof membrane and a flood test, then tile or stone, then grout and sealer. Every step waits for the one before it. We walk you through that sequence before we start, so you know which days will be loud and which days the unit sits quiet while mortar cures.
Why AP STONE INC.
Our team has set tile, marble and stone in South Florida for more than twenty years.
The people who measure your unit are the people who set the tile. Your job is not passed to a stranger.
Air near the ocean carries salt and humidity stays high most of the year, so grout and sealer are picked for those conditions.
Bilingual service in English and Spanish throughout every project.
"Our architect specified 48x96 slabs for the lobby. Two other contractors turned it down. AP Stone walked the space, came back with a detailed plan, and executed it perfectly. The lobby looks like a five-star hotel entrance."

"I've renovated three units in Aventura towers over the years. AP Stone is the only contractor I've used more than once. They understand condo renovation in a way that general contractors simply don't."

Aventura — Multiple Unit Renovations
"The master bath marble installation in our Williams Island unit is beautiful. More importantly, the process was clean — no issues with the building, no neighbor complaints, no mess in the hallways."

Kitchens and bathrooms are where most Aventura remodels begin, and in a tower they are also the two rooms with the least room for error.
In the bathroom, the enemy is water. A shower that leaks does not ruin only your floor; it stains the ceiling of the unit under you. ANSI A118.10 is the standard for waterproof membranes that sit under tile. We put that membrane down, fill the shower pan with water for a flood test, and set tile only after the pan holds. A leak found at that stage costs a patch. A leak found after the tile is grouted costs the shower.
In the kitchen, the enemy is fit. We measure countertops and slab backsplashes after the old ones come out, because the wall behind old cabinets is seldom straight or plumb. A digital laser measurement gives us the template, and the slab is then cut on CNC saws, with sink and cooktop openings made by waterjet. A big slab also has to reach your floor, so ask your building for the elevator size before you commit to one piece of stone. Two smaller pieces with a planned seam can be the smarter choice.
Under your feet, the enemy is noise. Tile and stone carry footsteps down to your neighbor. Get your association's rule for hard floors in writing before you choose a floor, because the extra layer underneath changes thresholds and transitions between rooms.
Most remodeling requests from Aventura are one of four jobs: a bathroom taken down to the slab and rebuilt, a kitchen with new countertops and backsplash, new floors through the whole unit, or marble work in a primary bath. Our own crew handles all four, and we can combine them into one schedule so the building sees one contractor instead of three.
What we will not do is guess at your building's rules. Before we price anything, we ask for the association's renovation rules. They decide when the crew can work, how materials go up, and what has to sit under a hard floor. A quote written without them tends to change halfway through the job, and rarely in your favor.
One more thing to check before a large remodel. Florida's SB 4-D (2022) requires milestone structural inspections of condominium buildings three stories or taller. If your tower has one on the calendar, plan your remodel around it rather than on top of it.
It depends on the area, the size of the tile and what turns up under the old floor. Natural stone and large slabs take more handling than porcelain. In a tower, work hours and elevator bookings also set the pace of the job, and the pace sets the labor. We quote after measuring your unit and reading your association's renovation rules.
Think of it in two stages. First come the approvals: your association and, when the work needs one, a City of Aventura permit. Then comes the work, always in the same order: demolition, plumbing changes, membrane and flood test, tile or stone, grout and sealer. Each layer cures before the next one goes on, and building hours limit how long the crew can work each day.
The City of Aventura. Aventura is a separate city with its own building department, so permits for work inside city limits come from the city, not from Miami-Dade County. Your association's approval is a separate step. We prepare the submittal and handle permitting as part of the job.
Possibly. Many condo associations ask for sound-control underlayment under hard floors. Ask for your building's floor rule in writing before you pick tile or stone, since the extra layer raises the floor at doors and between rooms.
Yes. Our own crew remodels bathrooms and kitchens, installs countertops and backsplashes, and replaces floors in Aventura condos and homes. We are based in North Miami Beach and work across Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties. Se habla español.
