Coral Gables — Miami-Dade
Coral Gables estates demand installation quality that matches their architectural ambition. Our work in this neighborhood spans full marble floors in Mediterranean Revival homes to large-format porcelain in contemporary rebuilds — always executed with the precision the Gables expects.
Coral Gables is where AP STONE INC. does some of our most architecturally significant work. The combination of historic Mediterranean Revival homes with their distinctive arched doorways and clay-tile roofs alongside newer contemporary builds creates a diverse installation landscape. We install traditional travertine and tumbled marble for restoration projects that must respect original design language, and we execute large-format seamless porcelain and book-matched marble for the contemporary homes that have transformed Riviera Drive, Alhambra Circle, and the Country Club Pines area.
The homes in Coral Gables are larger than the Miami average, and the clients' expectations are correspondingly higher. A full-floor marble installation in a 5,000 square foot estate requires logistical planning that starts with the slab order — confirming lot continuity, arranging delivery windows that avoid HOA quiet hours, and coordinating with the general contractor on sequencing. We have the experience to fit into complex new-construction and renovation timelines without being the bottleneck. Our foreman communicates directly with your GC or project manager at whatever frequency they need.

"We had the entire ground floor done in large-format Calacatta porcelain. The result is stunning — perfectly flat, razor-thin grout lines, and zero lippage. Three other contractors quoted us and none of them even mentioned leveling the slab first."

Coral Gables — Full Floor Installation
"AP Stone installed travertine throughout our restored 1930s Mediterranean home. They matched the original scale and pattern perfectly, and the substrate prep they did on the 90-year-old slab was exceptional. It looks like it always belonged there."

Coral Gables — Historic Restoration
"The book-matched Statuario in our foyer is the first thing guests comment on. AP Stone sourced the matched pair, showed us the layout before cutting, and executed it perfectly. Worth every penny."

Coral Gables — Foyer Feature
Coral Gables housing stock is dominated by Mediterranean Revival single-family homes built in the 1920s-1940s, with significant additions from mid-century modern (1950s-70s) and contemporary luxury construction (2000-2025). Average lot sizes are 12,000-18,000 square feet supporting estate-scale renovations. Property values frequently exceed $5M, supporting premium material selection. The city also includes some condo inventory along Miracle Mile and in newer developments.
Coral Gables has its own Building and Zoning department with strict historic preservation guidelines for properties in designated districts. Original Mediterranean tile, terrazzo, and stucco features often require permitted preservation rather than removal. Soil conditions vary — Coral Gables sits on coral limestone bedrock which provides excellent foundation stability but complicates plumbing relocations that require trenching. Mature oak canopy across the city limits crane and equipment access for large slab deliveries.
Recent Coral Gables work includes whole-home renovations preserving 1925 Mediterranean architectural elements while installing modern marble kitchens, full-floor large-format porcelain installations across 4,000+ sq ft single-story estates, and bathroom suites in mid-century modern homes near the University of Miami campus.
