Avondale Historic District Considerations
Avondale falls within (or is adjacent to) the Avondale Heights Historic District. Any exterior change — windows, doors, siding, roofing, color — typically requires Historical Commission review before permit issuance. Adds 2-6 weeks to project timeline. IWD Miami's FL contractor license team handles the application process, attends the public hearings, and uses period-appropriate materials and methods. We have completed projects in Avondale that cleared Historical Commission on first submission.
