What makes MDI different for a luxury kitchen renovation?
We coordinate layout, construction, trades, lighting, stone, finishes, and cabinetry as one project. Our relationship with MDI Luxury Cabinetry provides a direct path from cabinet design through installation.
Do you provide custom cabinetry and RTA cabinet lines?
Yes. Projects can include custom kitchens, vanities, closets, built-ins, bars, pantries, hidden storage, and select RTA collections. Explore kitchen remodeling.
What is included in a high-end bathroom remodel?
A complete scope may include layout changes, plumbing, electrical, ventilation, waterproofing, tile, stone, lighting, cabinetry, glass, fixtures, permits, and inspections. See bathroom remodeling.
Can you reconfigure an existing home without rebuilding everything?
Often, yes. We improve circulation, relocate or open rooms, integrate built-ins, add hidden spaces, and unify finishes while preserving what still works. Explore whole-home renovations.
Do you handle bars, wall units, outdoor kitchens, windows, doors, and stairs?
Yes. These may be part of a larger renovation or a focused custom project, including illuminated built-ins, architectural bars, coastal outdoor spaces, and integrated LED details.
Can MDI manage permits and inspections?
Yes. Within our construction scope, we coordinate applicable documents, licensed trades, inspections, corrections, and closeout. See permit assistance.
How do FEMA rules affect coastal renovations?
Flood-zone projects may be evaluated under local substantial-damage and substantial-improvement requirements. The municipality determines valuation, documents, and approvals. Read about FEMA and storm permitting.
Why is 15% contractor overhead and profit included on certain worksheets?
Some local substantial-damage or improvement worksheets require 15% contractor overhead and profit in the cost calculation. When the jurisdiction requires it, MDI includes that minimum in the submitted scope and contract.
What is MDI Custom Homes’ exact Florida license?
MDI Custom Homes is a Florida Certified Building Contractor, license CBC1267559. Google may show “general contractor” as a broad category, but our website identifies the actual license accurately.
Do you perform structural modifications, additions, or new construction?
Yes, selectively. Our main focus remains high-end renovations, kitchens, bathrooms, and whole-home transformations. Learn about structural modifications.
