The finished product far exceeded my expectations. The attention to detail and quality of the work were outstanding, but what impressed me just as much was the professionalism of the entire crew.Read full review

The Upwall team did a splendid job building us a new media center. Upwall is a family owned and operated. They were very pleasant people to work with. We made adjustment as we go and they were very accommodating to changes. I am very pleased with the new media center that Upwall built for me.View photo

Questions from Aventura homeowners
Do I need a permit to add an outlet behind a TV in my Aventura condo?
Yes. The city's permit guide for condominium associations lists any electrical work, including installation of ceiling fans, among the jobs that need a permit, along with kitchen cabinets that require reinstalling electrical outlets and general repairs over $500 in labor and materials. Those permits must be obtained by licensed contractors registered in the City of Aventura.
Does Aventura need a letter from my condo association before issuing a permit?
The city's two documents put it differently. The guide for condominium associations lists a letter from the association approving the work among the documents to submit, while the permit application says the city recommends, but does not require, getting association approval first, and that a city permit does not satisfy the association's own approval rules. Because the association guide asks for it, request the letter before you apply.
What is the Notice of Commencement the Aventura Building Division asks for?
Florida's Construction Lien Law, Chapter 713, requires a Notice of Commencement to be recorded with the Clerk of the Courts for improvements to real property greater than $2,500. Aventura's permit application warns that it must be recorded and posted on the job site before the first inspection, and that failing to record it may result in paying twice for the improvements.
