AfterConstruction in Lauderdale Lakes, FL
Roofing in Lauderdale Lakes typically costs $400-$20,000 depending on scope, with most flat and low-slope roof replacements falling between $8,000-$20,000 because the city’s 1960s-1970s housing stock is decades past useful life. We quote every job with a written price before work starts. Call (754) 254-7676 for a free estimate.
Lauderdale Lakes is almost entirely built out with mid-century CBS homes that predate modern wind-mitigation standards, which means construction here is fundamentally about code compliance and insurance retention rather than cosmetic upgrades. At Rowan Construction Group, we measure the existing substrate, name the price in writing, and deliver a documented photo record on every visit. Our crews are dispatched from the Miami office and serve Lauderdale Lakes locally.
Why Lauderdale Lakes Homes Are Different
The housing stock in Lauderdale Lakes was built between roughly 1960 and 1978, nearly all of it concrete block and stucco with flat or low-slope built-up tar-and-gravel roofs. These structures predate the post-Hurricane Andrew 1994 South Florida Building Code overhaul, so bringing them into compliance dominates the local construction market.
The shallow water table here, often just 18-24 inches below grade in western sections, means any excavation for additions or footings encounters groundwater and requires dewatering. Combined with annual hurricane exposure, this makes drainage design and wind-load compliance non-negotiable on every permitted job. Homeowners also face intense insurance pressure: original aluminum jalousie windows are completely uninsurable under current Florida wind-mitigation rules, making window replacement plus a wind-mitigation inspection report the city’s most common construction call.
Very little ground-up residential construction occurs in Lauderdale Lakes. Virtually every project is a rehab, addition, or code-compliance upgrade on these aging mid-century structures.
Our Main Lauderdale Lakes Services
Lauderdale Lakes homeowners call us most often for kitchen and bathroom remodeling to modernize aging interiors, and for home additions to add square footage without battling the shallow water table for a full foundation.
Kitchen Remodeling in Lauderdale Lakes
Kitchen remodeling in Lauderdale Lakes means working within the tight footprints of 1960s-1970s CBS homes, often with load-bearing walls that require engineered beams to open into adjacent living spaces. We see original cabinets, laminate counters, and inadequate electrical service that cannot handle modern appliance loads. Our quotes include a written scope, material specs from our vetted brand list, and the documented photo record that comes standard on every Rowan visit. Kitchen Remodeling in Lauderdale Lakes
Bathroom Remodeling in Lauderdale Lakes
Bathroom remodeling in Lauderdale Lakes frequently involves gutting original fiberglass tubs, single-lead waste lines, and ungrounded outlets that do not meet current code. We replace these with waterproofed shower assemblies, updated plumbing, and proper GFCI protection. Every quote is a flat written price with a written scope; no work proceeds until the customer has both in hand. Bathroom Remodeling in Lauderdale Lakes
Home Additions & ADU in Lauderdale Lakes
Home additions and ADU construction in Lauderdale Lakes must account for the shallow water table, which can require dewatering during footing excavation and specialized drainage design to keep slabs dry. We engineer for wind-load compliance per current Florida Building Code and deliver a written price before any work starts, with signed change orders for any scope shift.

Before
AfterRoofing in Lauderdale Lakes
Roofing in Lauderdale Lakes is driven by flat and low-slope built-up tar-and-gravel roofs that are decades past useful life on 1960s-1970s CBS homes, combined with insurance non-renewal pressure that makes roof condition a financial urgency. We inspect the substrate layer count, measure existing slope, and quote a flat written price before any work starts on Roofing projects.
Roof Repair
Signs you need it
Interior water stains on ceilings, granule loss visible in gutters, or bubbling in the tar-and-gravel surface indicate membrane failure on flat roofs common in Lauderdale Lakes.
What it costs in Lauderdale Lakes
Roof repair in Lauderdale Lakes typically runs $400-$1,800 depending on the extent of membrane damage and whether underlying decking has absorbed moisture.
How we do it
We cut back to sound substrate, replace saturated decking, install new modified bitumen or TPO membrane with proper seam welding, and photograph each layer for the documented record.
Roof Replacement & Installation
Signs you need it
Multiple repair areas, widespread alligatoring of the gravel surface, or an insurance inspection demanding replacement means the roof has exceeded its service life.
What it costs in Lauderdale Lakes
Roof replacement in Lauderdale Lakes typically costs $8,000-$20,000 for standard asphalt shingle or modified bitumen systems on typical single-family homes.
How we do it
We remove to decking, inspect and replace compromised sheathing, install GAF or Owens Corning underlayment and finish material per wind-mitigation requirements, and pass county inspection before final payment.
What Roofing Costs in Lauderdale Lakes
| Item | Typical range in Lauderdale Lakes |
|---|---|
| Roof Repair | $400 - $1,800 |
| Roof Replacement | $8,000 - $20,000 |
| Metal Roof Installation | $15,000 - $40,000 |
How long does a roof replacement take in Lauderdale Lakes?
Most roof replacements on Lauderdale Lakes single-family homes take 3-5 business days, with permits pulled by Rowan and inspections scheduled before work begins. Call (754) 254-7676 for a written timeline with your free estimate.
Will a new roof lower my insurance in Lauderdale Lakes?
A new roof with proper wind-mitigation documentation often reduces premiums significantly, and in some cases prevents non-renewal, because insurers heavily weight roof age and attachment method in Lauderdale Lakes. We provide the inspection documentation as part of the project closeout.
Windows & Doors in Lauderdale Lakes
Windows and doors in Lauderdale Lakes are overwhelmingly about replacing original aluminum jalousie and single-pane units that trigger insurance non-renewal under current Florida wind-mitigation rules. We measure each opening, specify impact-rated products that meet Miami-Dade and Broward county requirements, and quote a flat written price before any work starts on Windows & Doors projects.
Window Replacement
Signs you need it
Original aluminum jalousie windows, single-pane glass, or failed seals with visible condensation between panes mean the units are uninsurable and inefficient.
What it costs in Lauderdale Lakes
Window replacement in Lauderdale Lakes typically runs $4,500-$15,000 for a full-home installation of vinyl or aluminum-framed units.
How we do it
We remove the existing frame, inspect and repair the rough opening for water damage, install new impact-rated window with proper fastening pattern per wind-mitigation requirements, and seal with approved flashing tape.
Impact Windows & Doors
Signs you need it
An insurance non-renewal notice citing lack of wind protection, or existing non-impact windows in a home within the hurricane-prone Lauderdale Lakes area, requires impact-rated replacement.
What it costs in Lauderdale Lakes
Impact window installation in Lauderdale Lakes typically costs $8,000-$25,000 for a complete home package depending on opening count and product line selected.
How we do it
We template each opening, order laminated impact glass in vinyl or aluminum frames with Miami-Dade NOA certification, install with structural anchoring per engineering, and provide the wind-mitigation inspection report for insurance submission.
What Windows & Doors Costs in Lauderdale Lakes
| Item | Typical range in Lauderdale Lakes |
|---|---|
| Window Replacement | $4,500 - $15,000 |
| Impact Window Installation | $8,000 - $25,000 |
Do I need impact windows or just shutters in Lauderdale Lakes?
Impact windows satisfy the continuous protection requirement without deployment, while shutters must be installed before each storm; most insurers prefer impact windows for the permanent protection they provide in Lauderdale Lakes. Call (754) 254-7676 for a written quote on either option.
How do I get the wind-mitigation discount in Lauderdale Lakes?
A licensed inspector documents opening protection, roof-to-wall attachment, and roof geometry; we coordinate this inspection as part of every window replacement project and provide the completed form for your insurer.
Fence Installation in Lauderdale Lakes
Fence installation in Lauderdale Lakes must navigate the shallow water table that causes posts to heave if not set properly, plus hurricane wind loads that can topple poorly engineered panels. We specify post depth and concrete footing size for local soil conditions, pull permits when required, and quote a flat written price before any work starts on Fence Installation projects.
Vinyl Fence
Signs you need it
A rotted wood fence that requires annual maintenance, or no fence at all on a property that needs pet containment or pool code compliance, indicates vinyl is a durable replacement option.
What it costs in Lauderdale Lakes
Vinyl fence installation in Lauderdale Lakes typically runs $3,500-$9,000 depending on linear footage, height, and whether the shallow water table requires deeper post setting.
How we do it
We lay out the line, auger post holes to 30 inches or deeper to get below the unstable topsoil, set posts in concrete with proper drainage, and hang vinyl panels with aluminum rail reinforcement for wind resistance.
Aluminum Fence
Signs you need it
Pool code compliance requiring a 48-inch minimum height with no climbable horizontal rails within 45 inches of grade, or a preference for ornamental metal appearance without iron maintenance, points to aluminum.
What it costs in Lauderdale Lakes
Aluminum fence installation in Lauderdale Lakes typically costs $4,000-$10,000 depending on height, picket style, and total linear footage.
How we do it
We install powder-coated aluminum posts with concrete footings engineered for local wind loads, attach panels with concealed fasteners, and verify gate latch height and self-closing mechanism meet pool barrier code.
What Fence Installation Costs in Lauderdale Lakes
| Item | Typical range in Lauderdale Lakes |
|---|---|
| Vinyl Fence Installation | $3,500 - $9,000 |
| Aluminum Fence Installation | $4,000 - $10,000 |
Do I need a permit for a fence in Lauderdale Lakes?
Most fence installations in Lauderdale Lakes require a Broward County permit if over 6 feet tall or if located within a required setback; we pull permits as part of our standard process and include the cost in the written quote. Call (754) 254-7676 to confirm requirements for your specific property.
How deep do fence posts need to go in Lauderdale Lakes?
We set posts 30-36 inches deep in Lauderdale Lakes to get below the unstable, often saturated topsoil and into firmer ground that resists the uplift and heave from the shallow water table.
Driveway & Pavers in Lauderdale Lakes
Driveway and paver work in Lauderdale Lakes addresses cracked concrete slabs and failing asphalt on 1960s-1970s homes where original driveways have settled, heaved, or drained poorly toward foundations. We evaluate subgrade conditions, account for the shallow water table in our base preparation, and quote a flat written price before any work starts on Driveway & Pavers projects.
Paver Driveways
Signs you need it
Cracked concrete with differential settlement, poor drainage pooling against the foundation, or a desire for permeable surfacing that handles Lauderdale Lakes rainfall without runoff, indicates paver replacement.
What it costs in Lauderdale Lakes
Paver driveway installation in Lauderdale Lakes typically runs $7,000-$18,000 depending on square footage, base depth required for local soil, and paver pattern complexity.
How we do it
We excavate to stable subgrade, install geotextile and 6-8 inches of compacted limerock base sloped for drainage, screed bedding sand, lay Belgard or Techo-Bloc pavers in the chosen pattern, and sweep polymeric sand into joints.
Concrete Driveways & Concrete Work
Signs you need it
Alligator cracking, spalling surface with exposed aggregate, or slab sections that have settled more than 2 inches indicate the concrete has failed and needs replacement rather than repair.
What it costs in Lauderdale Lakes
Concrete driveway installation in Lauderdale Lakes typically costs $4,500-$12,000 for standard 4-inch unreinforced or fiber-reinforced concrete on a properly prepared base.
How we do it
We remove the failed slab, regrade for positive drainage away from the foundation, compact the subgrade, place and finish new concrete with control joints at proper spacing, and cure for the specified period before vehicle loading.
What Driveway & Pavers Costs in Lauderdale Lakes
| Item | Typical range in Lauderdale Lakes |
|---|---|
| Paver Driveway Installation | $7,000 - $18,000 |
| Concrete Driveway Installation | $4,500 - $12,000 |
| Asphalt Driveway Paving | $3,500 - $9,000 |
Can pavers handle the rain in Lauderdale Lakes?
Permeable paver systems with open-graded base actually manage heavy rainfall better than solid concrete because water infiltrates between joints rather than running off; we engineer base depth for local rainfall intensity and soil percolation rates. Call (754) 254-7676 for a written quote on your specific drainage conditions.
How long before I can drive on a new driveway in Lauderdale Lakes?
Concrete driveways need 7 days minimum before passenger vehicle loading; paver driveways are usable immediately after joint sand compaction and sealer cure, typically 24-48 hours.
