Because Avenir homes are new, most projects are about personalization. North2South Renovations helps Avenir homeowners turn a builder home into a custom one with upgraded kitchens, spa-style bathrooms, built-ins, premium flooring and finishes that reflect your style.

As a licensed Florida general contractor (License #CBC1269429) with 15 years of remodeling experience across Palm Beach County, we handle HOA approvals, City of Palm Beach Gardens permits and construction with one point of contact.

New homes often come with builder-standard cabinets, counters, tile and fixtures. Avenir owners frequently upgrade them soon after moving in: replacing kitchen finishes, building out primary bathrooms, adding custom closets and built-ins, and installing premium flooring throughout.

Avenir neighborhoods are governed by HOAs with design standards, so exterior-visible changes typically need approval before work begins. Avenir is within the City of Palm Beach Gardens, so permits go through the city. Before changing anything new, check whether your builder warranty is affected; we can help you plan around it.

Colby and his team at North2South Renovations are the best choice for remodeling and renovation in Delray Beach — and all of South Florida across the board! Not just in the quality of their work, but their quality as people. As a young, single, woman homeowner, I hesitated to hire any professional contractors and was nervous to allow them into my home. I struggled finding someone I could trust, and did most of the work by myself for the first 4 years. I was referred to North2South by friends, and I only wish I met Colby and his team sooner! At all times, myself, my roommate, AND my pets all felt comfortable and happy to have Colby’s team — Brian, Caiden, Chad, and Scotty working on our home. From the first consult, I could tell he is very passionate about the work, quality, and making the clients’ dreams come to life. This is not one of those companies where the GC is this illusory figure who is hard to reach, and subcontracts out everything, or who only shows up when convenient for him. Colby was there every step of the way, making sure everything went smoothly from designing, permitting, reconfiguring, demo, installation, coordinating deliveries, and more. On top of it all, the prices are very fair, and you can tell he cares more about producing quality work and the name of the company he’s built than just making money. I absolutely LOVE my new ceiling, windows, and countertops. I would absolutely recommend North2South to anyone who’s looking for the best kitchen, bathroom, or whole home renovation in Delray Beach, FL and greater Palm Beach County area. I would and hopefully WILL gladly hire them again.Read full review

I live in an attached villa in Delray Beach built in 1990. I wanted to improve my whole kitchen and the outer area in my master bath. Having never done this before I set out to find a company to do the job. After a few calls to friend’s referrals, it felt as if it was too small a job to warrant much attention from them, basically they ignored me because business is booming nowRead full review

I recently had my master bathroom completely renovated by North 2 South Renovations, and I truly cannot say enough good things about the entire experience. From the very beginning, Colby, the founder, was an exceptional communicator. He was responsive, professional, and offered thoughtful suggestions that really helped bring the vision together. His guidance made decision-making so much easier, and it was clear he genuinely cared about the end result. His team—Brian, Chad, Leo, Scotty, and Caden were outstanding. Each one of them took tremendous pride in their workmanship, and it showed in every detail. They were consistently on time, worked efficiently, and went above and beyond to ensure everything was done right. It’s rare to find a crew that is not only skilled, but also so respectful and considerate. They treated my home with care, always covering furniture and protecting surrounding areas, which I truly appreciated. You could tell they respected the space as if it were their own. The transformation of my 30-year-old bathroom is incredible. The finished product exceeded my expectations, and the quality of the work speaks for itself. They truly went the extra mile in every aspect of the project. If you’re looking for a company that is professional, reliable, and delivers beautiful results, I highly recommend North 2 South Renovations. I am beyond thrilled with my new bathroom.Read full review

Can you upgrade a brand-new Avenir home?

Yes. Many Avenir owners upgrade builder-standard finishes soon after closing. We recommend reviewing your builder warranty first; we can plan the work to avoid affecting coverage where possible.

Who issues building permits in Avenir?

Avenir is within the City of Palm Beach Gardens, so permits are issued by the city’s building division rather than Palm Beach County. Remodels involving plumbing, electrical or structural work require a permit. As your licensed general contractor (License #CBC1269429), we confirm the requirements for your address and handle the application, plan review and inspections.

Do I need HOA approval for upgrades in Avenir?

For exterior-visible changes and projects that bring contractors on site, usually yes. Avenir neighborhoods have HOA design standards, and we prepare the submission and plan the review time into your schedule.

How much do upgrades cost in Avenir?

Most bathroom renovations range from $15,000–$45,000+ and kitchen remodels from $30,000–$75,000, depending on scope, materials and whether the layout changes. Finish upgrades in a new home, like replacing counters or building out a closet, often cost less than a full remodel. We give you an itemized estimate after our walkthrough.

How long do upgrades take?

A typical bathroom renovation takes 3–6 weeks of construction, and kitchens run 6–10 weeks. Smaller finish upgrades can be quicker. HOA review and city permitting add lead time before work starts.

Do you work in other Palm Beach Gardens communities?

Yes. We remodel homes throughout Palm Beach Gardens, including Mirasol, BallenIsles and PGA National. Visit our Palm Beach Gardens remodeling page to see the communities we serve.
