Ameristar Construction in Miami Beach, FL | Mason Remodeling Co Miami
We provide independent Ameristar construction service across Miami Beach through our General Contractor in Miami Beach, from cabinet refacing in 1930s Art Deco condos to roof replacements on mid-century MiMo buildings. The thing that makes our Ameristar work different here is simple: we know which jobs trigger Historic Preservation Board review and which ones we can start next week. Call (850) 780-8123 for a written estimate before any work begins.
Mason Remodeling Co Miami has rebuilt and restored Ameristar-equipped homes throughout Miami Beach for well over a decade. We’re not factory-authorized, and we won’t pretend to be. What we are is a crew that has pulled seized Ameristar cabinet hinges out of oceanfront condos, patched salt-corroded rooftop units, and learned every quirk of working on buildings the city considers historic. Our Ameristar sales & service experience runs deep, and we put the price in writing before a single tool comes off the truck.
Why Miami Beach Residents Choose Us for Ameristar Service
Isaac Pruett runs our Miami Beach operation. He grew up in Los Angeles, got his construction trade certificate from Los Angeles Trade-Technical College, and spent years working rough framing, finish carpentry, tile, and drywall before moving his crew to South Florida. He’s been reading Miami Beach job sites for more than ten years now, and he still gives homeowners a straight number with no padding. Tell me what you need done. I’ll tell you what it costs and when it’s finished – and I’ll mean both. That’s how Isaac talks to every customer, and it’s how we run every Ameristar job.
Every technician who arrives at your Miami Beach door is background-checked and identity-verified under the Threshold Standard. You get the technician’s name and photo before the visit, and they show a photo ID badge when they arrive in a clean marked uniform. We deliver a written price before any work starts on every project, no exceptions. And every completed job carries a written guarantee with clearly stated terms: 365 days from the completion date, and we make it right at no cost if the work fails.

Common Ameristar Construction Problems We Solve in Miami Beach
- Salt-air corrosion of Ameristar cabinet hardware and hinges. In oceanfront condos along Collins Avenue and Ocean Drive, chrome and zinc alloy hinges seize and degrade within two to three years. We replace them with 316 stainless steel aftermarket hardware rated for coastal exposure, and we seal cabinet faces with marine-grade clear coat.
- Condenser coil corrosion on Ameristar rooftop units. Constant sea spray and high humidity eat through condenser coils faster in Miami Beach than anywhere inland. A unit that would run fifteen years in Kendall might lose efficiency in eight years here. We test coil condition honestly and tell you when replacement beats another patch job.
- Blower motor bearing failure from storm-driven power interruptions. Voltage fluctuations during hurricane season are hard on blower motors. We see bearing failures in Ameristar units across Miami Beach every fall, especially in older buildings where the grid takes a beating.
- Drain pan rust-through and secondary drain line clogging. Flat-roof installations on 1930s low-rise buildings collect salt-laden condensate and algae. The secondary drain line clogs first, then the pan rusts through. Water ends up where it shouldn’t, usually above someone’s kitchen.
- Seized Ameristar galvanized-steel cabinet systems in historic buildings. Our crew recently refaced a full Ameristar galvanized-steel cabinet system in a 1936 Collins Avenue condo after the original hinges seized from decades of salt air. We rebuilt two drawer fronts to match the original Streamline Moderne profile, replaced every hinge with 316 stainless, and the owner kept the landmark-era look without board review.
Ameristar Service in Miami Beach: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Here’s something most contractors won’t tell you until it’s too late. On Miami Beach, any Ameristar cabinet refacing in a contributing Art Deco building requires Historic Preservation Board review if the new doors or hardware alter the original 1930s kitchen’s visual character. That rule does not apply in neighboring Miami or North Bay Village. It applies here, and it applies to buildings you might not think of as landmarks. If your building sits inside the Miami Beach Architectural District and has contributing status, swapping those original Ameristar cabinet fronts for modern shaker doors could land you in front of the board. We know which buildings are contributing, which changes trigger review, and how to reface cabinets so the period character stays intact and the job proceeds without a hearing.
This shapes how we approach every Ameristar job in Miami Beach. Before we quote Bathroom Remodeling - Miami Beach or cabinet refacing on a 1930s building in the Flamingo Park neighborhood or a MiMo structure along Normandy Isle, we check the building’s contributing status. If review is required, we tell you upfront and build the timeline for it. If it’s not, we tell you that too, and we start when you’re ready. Flat roofs, impact windows, elevated mechanical systems, salt-air-rated hardware – these aren’t options here. They’re baseline requirements, and we quote them that way.
Ameristar Models & Products We Service in Miami Beach
We service the full Ameristar by American Standard lineup: the Silver Series, Gold Series, Platinum Series, and RunTru Series. For structural and sealed-system components, we source OEM Ameristar parts so original dimensions and warranty eligibility stay intact. For hardware, hinges, and cosmetic trim, when factory parts are backordered we use high-quality aftermarket components from coastal-rated suppliers, chosen because they hold up to Miami Beach salt air better than the originals did. Common cabinet hardware and trim pieces are stocked locally for fast turnaround across Miami Beach. If a piece isn’t in stock, we’ll tell you the lead time before you commit.

FAQs – Ameristar Construction in Miami Beach
In many cases, yes. If your building is not a contributing structure in the Miami Beach Architectural District, or if the refacing keeps the original doors, hardware profile, and visual character intact, review is typically not required. We check contributing status before quoting, and we’ll tell you exactly which path applies to your building. Call (850) 780-8123 for a written answer on your specific address.
If the unit is over 12 years old, has multiple corroded components, or fails a post-hurricane moisture intrusion test, we’ll recommend replacement. Otherwise, targeted repair usually makes sense. Miami Beach salt air shortens lifespan, so we assess honestly and give you a real number either way. Estimates are free at (850) 780-8123.
Both, depending on what’s failing. Structural and sealed-system components get OEM Ameristar parts to preserve dimensions and warranty eligibility. Hardware, hinges, and cosmetic trim get high-quality aftermarket parts from coastal-rated suppliers, often 316 stainless, because they outlast the original zinc alloy in Miami Beach salt air.
Emergency storm damage work starts at $470 and we move fast when a roof is open. We prioritize active leaks and exposed interiors across Miami Beach after any named storm. Call (850) 780-8123 and a live person answers, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. We’ll get someone to your building quickly.
If your building is a contributing structure in the Architectural District, yes, it could, because shaker doors change the original 1930s visual character. We reface with period-appropriate profiles and hardware so the look stays true to the era and code requirements stay satisfied. Call (850) 780-8123 to find out if your building is contributing.
