Understanding the Building Recertification Process
Why Property Owners Choose 40Year Building

Our team includes a Licensed Professional Engineer with an active electrical license, allowing inspections to be performed by a fully authorized and insured professional. - Comprehensive Inspections

We understand deadlines are critical, so we work efficiently to keep your recertification on schedule.
Beware of Unqualified Firms
Many companies advertise recertification services but lack the proper licenses, experience, or insurance. Protect your property by choosing a firm that:
- Is licensed by the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR).
- Employs in-house licensed Architects and Engineers, not subcontractors.
- Carries Professional Liability Insurance to protect you from potential risks.
Going with the cheapest option may seem appealing, but it can lead to failed inspections, additional costs, and unnecessary stress. Choose professionals who can guarantee your building’s compliance and safety.
The 40/50 Year Recertification is a mandatory inspection required by
Miami-Dade County Code Section 8-11(f)
Florida Building Code Section 110.15 for Broward County
This process ensures that buildings are structurally and electrically safe for continued occupancy. Recent updates now require recertification for buildings 30 years or older, as recorded by the County Property Appraiser.
If you’ve received a notice from the city, it’s your responsibility as a property owner to hire a licensed and qualified professional to perform the required inspections and submit the necessary reports.
Don’t risk your building’s compliance by choosing the cheapest option. Work with licensed professionals who guarantee results.

EXCELLENT Based on 10 reviews Posted on Rafael MonsalveTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. They were very professionals and dedicated to work with us in every step to get the recertification for our building with the city of Miami Gardens. Totally recommend themPosted on Idalmis CarbonellTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The community where I live was very fortunate to have Maurin and Eduardo in the 40-year recertification process. They guided us throughout the entire process with Miami-Dade County. Maurin, the engineer's assistant, was very hardworking, and always very kind. She kept us informed of every progress, was always attentive to everything, and responded to every request from the County throughout the process. The engineer Eduardo Barreto and his team also replaced the electrical boxes in all 13 buildings in our community, built in 1984 and the boxes were in a very bad condition. This project was the most important step toward passing the recertification. They worked with great professionalism and completed the work in record time with incredible quality. Currently, 12 of the 13 buildings have their recertification letters. Only one building remains in the process but it has nothing to do with the engineer and his team. I recommend this company without any hesitation and would hire them again for the next recertification in 10 years.Posted on Emma BrooksTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I work with Mr Barreto and Maureen trying to get a 40 year certification for our church. After the engineer did what he was supposed to we sent the paperwork to Dade County. Mr Barreto did a wonderful job getting what we needed to do, now we’re just waiting on the county. This is something that I never done before so I was lost in trying to figure out what would be happening, Ms. Maureen was a gym. She hoped by telling me every step on what would be happening. This company is very good. I recommend them very highly.Posted on Rolando LarosaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had an amaizing experience with 40 year building recertification. they help me with the forms, documents and pics that we have to present to Miami Dade County. Whar really stood out was their professionalism, attention to detail. and how quickly they completed the work. They were with us since the begining until the end of the process. Maureen and Eduardo from their team were especially helpfull. they kept me updated throughout the whole process. Thanks again for such a smooth and stress-free experience.I'll definitely be using them again in the future. See you in 10 years guys.Posted on Lidia PilaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

As the president of my building, I recently completed the 50-year recertification, and I couldn't be more pleased with the service provided.
