Miami at a glance
Miami housing runs from 1920s Mediterranean Revival houses in Coconut Grove and Shenandoah to high-rise condos along Brickell and Edgewater. Much of the city's older housing is concrete block with stucco, which holds up well to wind and termites. Hurricane Andrew in 1992 led to Miami-Dade's product approval system and stricter rules that later shaped the statewide Florida Building Code.
Miami-Dade and Broward are in the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, where roofs, windows and garage doors must meet tougher wind standards. Because the Biscayne Aquifer sits so close to the surface, basements are almost unheard of. Florida's condo safety law, passed after the 2021 Surfside collapse, requires milestone inspections for older condo and co-op buildings three or more stories tall.
Summer highs sit near 90 degrees with heavy humidity, and the rainy season runs roughly May through October. Hurricane season officially runs from June 1 to November 30.
Local utilities and rules
Miami-Dade Water and Sewer Department supplies the city with water from the Biscayne Aquifer, a shallow limestone aquifer just below the surface. Wastewater goes to Miami-Dade Water and Sewer Department. Florida Power & Light supplies electricity, and natural gas comes from a local gas utility where lines exist, since many homes here are all-electric. Building permits are handled by the City of Miami Building Department.
Questions about Miami
Who supplies water in Miami?
Miami-Dade Water and Sewer Department supplies the city with water from the Biscayne Aquifer, a shallow limestone aquifer just below the surface. Billing and water quality questions go to them. For leaks inside your home, a plumber is the right call.
Who do I call about a power outage or gas smell?
Electricity comes from Florida Power & Light and natural gas from a local gas utility where lines exist, since many homes here are all-electric. Report outages to the utility. If you smell gas, leave the building first and call from outside.
Do repairs in Miami need a permit?
Many do, including most electrical, plumbing, heating and roofing work. Permits are handled by the City of Miami Building Department, and the pro doing the work usually pulls them.
Does VendorReach do the work?
No. We are a referral service. We connect you with an independent local company, and they quote, schedule and complete the job.
Can I use this if I rent?
Yes, but many repairs are the landlord's responsibility. Tell your landlord in writing, and check with them before booking work on the building.
Whatever the job, the more detail you share up front, the smoother the first visit tends to go.

VendorReach is a referral service, not the company that does the work. The service company we connect you with is a separate business that quotes, schedules and completes the job. Get the details in writing if that makes you more comfortable.
