AfterConstruction in Fort Lauderdale, FL
Roofing in Fort Lauderdale runs $400-$20,000 depending on whether we’re patching a few shingles or stripping a 1970s gable roof down to the deck. Most of the homes we work on in Fort Lauderdale were built during the postwar boom through the 1980s, which means original roofs are well past their service life and the concrete block construction underneath them predates modern hurricane-strap requirements. If you’re seeing water stains on your ceiling or missing tabs after a summer storm, call (754) 254-7676 and we’ll put a written price in your hands before anyone climbs a ladder.
Why Fort Lauderdale Homes Are Different
Fort Lauderdale sits in Broward County, one of only two Florida counties designated a High Velocity Hurricane Zone. Every roofing shingle, window, and door product we specify must carry a separate HVHZ product approval, a stricter standard than neighboring Palm Beach County. That approval process disqualifies materials that are perfectly legal in Boca Raton or West Palm Beach, and it adds both time and cost to material procurement.
The housing stock is overwhelmingly CBS construction, concrete block with stucco, built between the 1950s and 1980s. These homes lack impact-rated openings and often lack proper hurricane strapping, which means a roof replacement in Fort Lauderdale frequently turns into a structural retrofit. Much of the city sits at 6-9 feet above sea level within FEMA AE flood zones, so any addition or ground-level renovation needs flood-compliant foundation design. And the city’s ongoing program of raising street grades and installing pump stations, particularly in the finger-isle neighborhoods, means we regularly encounter shifting utility depths and road closures that can delay inspections through no fault of the homeowner or our crew.
Our Main Fort Lauderdale Services
Fort Lauderdale homeowners call us most often for kitchen and bath renovations and for expanding their footprint with additions or ADUs.
Kitchen Remodeling in Fort Lauderdale
A kitchen remodel in Fort Lauderdale typically involves reconfiguring the galley or L-shaped layouts common in 1960s-1980s homes, often with structural modifications to the concrete block walls. We see a lot of water-damaged drywall behind cabinets in older homes near the waterways, and we always inspect the substrate before quoting. Our crews are background-checked and uniformed, and every visit includes a documented photo record. Kitchen Remodeling in Fort Lauderdale covers our full process, from the written price through the 365-Day Done Right Promise.
Bathroom Remodeling in Fort Lauderdale
Bathroom work in Fort Lauderdale often starts with a leaking shower pan in a original cast-iron tub setup, or a vanity rotted out from humidity penetration through unsealed block walls. We replace the wet-area waterproofing with modern membrane systems, upgrade plumbing to current code, and specify fixtures that hold up to salt-air corrosion. Every quote is flat and written before work starts, with no change proceeding without a signed change order. See Bathroom Remodeling in Fort Lauderdale for scope details.
Home Additions & ADU in Fort Lauderdale
Adding square footage in Fort Lauderdale means navigating FEMA flood elevations, HVHZ structural requirements, and the city’s pump-station infrastructure sequencing. An ADU or garage conversion here is not a simple slab pour; it requires engineered foundations and impact-rated openings. We’ve delivered over 4,000 projects since 2007, every one with a written price before work started. Home Additions & ADU in Fort Lauderdale explains how we handle permitting and documentation.

AfterRoofing in Fort Lauderdale
Most Fort Lauderdale roofs we see are original 20-30 year three-tab shingles installed in the 1990s or early 2000s, now brittle from UV exposure and salt air. The HVHZ requirement means every replacement must use Miami-Dade or Florida Product Approved materials, and the 6-9 foot elevation across much of the city means we often work in flood zones where detached accessory structures have additional anchoring rules. If your roof is leaking or you’re seeing granules in your gutters, Roofing covers our full service range, from repair through complete replacement with documented photo records at every visit.
Roof Repair
Signs you need it
Water stains on your ceiling, missing or curled shingles, or granule buildup in gutters after a storm mean water is getting past the primary barrier.
What it costs in Fort Lauderdale
Roof repair in Fort Lauderdale typically runs $400-$1,800 depending on whether we’re replacing a few shingles, resealing flashing, or patching a valley.
How we do it
We photograph the damage from the deck, remove the compromised material down to solid substrate, install matching HVHZ-approved underlayment and shingles, and document the repair with before-and-after photos you receive before we leave.
Roof Replacement & Installation
Signs you need it
Multiple leaks, sagging deck sections, or shingles past their rated life with widespread granule loss mean patching is no longer economical.
What it costs in Fort Lauderdale
A full roof replacement in Fort Lauderdale ranges from $8,000-$20,000 for standard architectural shingles, with metal and tile systems running higher due to HVHZ approval requirements.
How we do it
We strip to the deck, inspect and replace compromised sheathing, install synthetic underlayment and HVHZ-approved shingles with proper drip edge and ridge venting, then pull permits and schedule inspection.

|---|---|
| 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 Fort Lauderdale?
Most residential roof replacements in Fort Lauderdale take 2-4 days once materials arrive, though HVHZ product lead times can add 1-2 weeks compared to standard Florida schedules. Call (754) 254-7676 for a written timeline with your estimate.
Do you pull permits for roofing work in Fort Lauderdale?
Yes, we pull all required permits and schedule inspections; under Clause 1 of the Haven Standard, no work starts until the written scope, price, and permit status are documented. Call (754) 254-7676 to schedule your free estimate.
Windows & Doors in Fort Lauderdale
The typical Fort Lauderdale home built between 1960 and 1990 has single-pane aluminum windows with corroded frames and no impact rating, which means they fail both the HVHZ structural test and the insurance discount requirements most carriers now enforce. Replacing them with HVHZ-approved impact windows is not a luxury here; it’s the minimum legal standard for new installations, and it’s the difference between a home that weathers a hurricane and one that doesn’t. Windows & Doors covers our full product range and documentation process.
Window Replacement
Signs you need it
Fogged glass between panes, corroded aluminum frames, air leaks you can feel with a candle flame, or windows that no longer lock properly mean the seal and structure have failed.
What it costs in Fort Lauderdale
Window replacement in Fort Lauderdale runs $4,500-$15,000 for a typical home, with impact-rated vinyl or aluminum systems at the higher end due to HVHZ engineering requirements.
How we do it
We measure every opening individually, specify HVHZ-approved units from CWS or ES Windows with proper nailing fin attachment to the concrete block, foam-seal the perimeter, and document the installation with photos of the fastening pattern.
Impact Windows & Doors
Signs you need it
Your insurance carrier has dropped your wind mitigation discount, or you’re tired of installing plywood or accordion shutters every storm season.
What it costs in Fort Lauderdale
Impact window installation for a full home in Fort Lauderdale typically ranges $8,000-$25,000 depending on opening count, floor height, and whether we need to widen existing block rough openings.
How we do it
We specify laminated glass units from ECO Window Systems or Mr-Glass with HVHZ approval numbers, install with stainless steel fasteners into the concrete block, and provide the product approval documentation your insurer requires for the mitigation discount.
What Windows & Doors Costs in Fort Lauderdale
| Item | Typical range in Fort Lauderdale |
|---|---|
| Window replacement | $4,500-$15,000 |
| Impact window installation | $8,000-$25,000 |
Do impact windows qualify for insurance discounts in Fort Lauderdale?
Yes, most carriers offer wind mitigation discounts for HVHZ-approved impact windows and doors; we provide the product approval documentation and installation photos required for filing. Call (754) 254-7676 for a written quote with the specific products listed.
Can you match the style of my 1970s aluminum windows?
Modern impact-rated aluminum windows from CWS and ES Windows replicate the slim sightlines of 1970s originals while meeting current HVHZ standards; we bring sample profiles to the estimate so you can compare before deciding. Call (754) 254-7676 to schedule.
Fence Installation in Fort Lauderdale
Fence work in Fort Lauderdale is shaped by two forces: the salt air that corrodes standard steel and untreated wood within five years, and the flood-zone requirements that limit footing depth and material choices in low-lying neighborhoods. We see a lot of rotted pressure-treated pine and rusted chain link in homes near the waterways, and we specify materials rated for marine exposure. Fence Installation details our full product range and documentation.
Vinyl Fence
Signs you need it
Your wood fence has rotted at the base, or you’re tired of staining and sealing every 18 months in the Fort Lauderdale sun and salt air.
What it costs in Fort Lauderdale
Vinyl fence installation in Fort Lauderdale typically runs $3,500-$9,000 for a standard residential lot, with price driven by linear footage, gate count, and whether we need to set posts in concrete above the water table.
How we do it
We lay out the line with you present, auger post holes to the depth required by soil conditions and flood-zone restrictions, set posts in concrete with proper drainage, and hang panels with stainless steel fasteners that won’t corrode in salt air.
Aluminum Fence
Signs you need it
You need a pool barrier that meets Florida code, or you want the look of wrought iron without the maintenance burden in a coastal environment.
What it costs in Fort Lauderdale
Aluminum fence installation in Fort Lauderdale ranges $4,000-$10,000, with ornamental styles and automated gates at the higher end of that range.
How we do it
We specify powder-coated aluminum extrusions with marine-grade fasteners, set posts in concrete footings engineered for your soil conditions, and provide the pool barrier certification documentation if required for inspection.
What Fence Installation Costs in Fort Lauderdale
| Item | Typical range in Fort Lauderdale |
|---|---|
| Vinyl fence installation | $3,500-$9,000 |
| Aluminum fence installation | $4,000-$10,000 |
Do I need a permit to install a fence in Fort Lauderdale?
Yes, Fort Lauderdale requires a fence permit with a site plan showing property lines and setback compliance; we pull the permit and schedule inspection as part of our standard scope. Call (754) 254-7676 for a written quote that includes permit costs.
How long does a vinyl fence last in Fort Lauderdale’s salt air?
A properly installed vinyl fence with UV-stabilized PVC and stainless steel fasteners lasts 20-30 years in Fort Lauderdale, compared to 5-8 years for pressure-treated wood in the same exposure. Call (754) 254-7676 to see material samples and get a written price.
Driveway & Pavers in Fort Lauderdale
Driveway replacement in Fort Lauderdale is often triggered by two things: the root heave from mature ficus and live oak canopies that buckle concrete slabs, and the flooding that pools on driveways in low-lying neighborhoods during king tides. Paver systems with permeable base layers handle both problems better than monolithic concrete, and they allow for spot repairs when a section settles. Driveway & Pavers covers our full installation and replacement services.
Paver Driveways
Signs you need it
Your concrete driveway has cracked into shifting plates, or you’re rebuilding after removing a tree whose roots lifted the entire surface.
What it costs in Fort Lauderdale
Paver driveway installation in Fort Lauderdale runs $7,000-$18,000 depending on square footage, base preparation needs, and whether we use Belgard or Techo-Bloc products with permeable joint aggregate.
How we do it
We excavate to a compacted limestone base, install edge restraints on concrete footings, lay pavers in your chosen pattern with polymeric sand joints, and compact the surface before documenting the finished grade with photos.
Concrete Driveways & Concrete Work
Signs you need it
Your driveway has spiderweb cracking, settled sections that hold water, or spalling where the surface is flaking off from salt exposure and freeze-thaw cycles.
What it costs in Fort Lauderdale
Concrete driveway installation in Fort Lauderdale ranges $4,500-$12,000, with price driven by square footage, reinforcement needs, and whether we need to address drainage with a swale or channel.
How we do it
We form the pour area with proper slope for drainage, place rebar or fiber mesh reinforcement, pour 4-inch minimum thickness with control joints at calculated intervals, and finish with a broom or exposed aggregate surface per your specification.
What Driveway & Pavers Costs in Fort Lauderdale
| Item | Typical range in Fort Lauderdale |
|---|---|
| Concrete driveway installation | $4,500-$12,000 |
| Paver driveway installation | $7,000-$18,000 |
| Asphalt driveway paving | $3,500-$9,000 |
Will pavers hold up to flooding in Fort Lauderdale?
Permeable paver systems with open-graded base actually drain faster than solid concrete, and they’re repairable in sections if settling occurs; we specify Belgard and Techo-Bloc products rated for saturated subgrade conditions. Call (754) 254-7676 for a site assessment and written quote.
How long before I can drive on a new concrete driveway?
Concrete reaches sufficient strength for passenger vehicles in 7 days, though we recommend waiting 14 days before heavy delivery trucks; we leave you with the cure-time documentation and a photo record of the pour. Call (754) 254-7676 to schedule your free estimate.

FAQs About Construction in Fort Lauderdale
We schedule estimates within a few business days of your call, with our live answering service taking details 24/7 so Grant Rowan or a project manager can confirm the appointment with a text confirmation. Crew dispatch is coordinated from our Miami office with Fort Lauderdale material deliveries pre-staged to minimize start delays.
Many Fort Lauderdale neighborhoods, particularly in the isles and gated communities, require separate HOA architectural review before city permit submission; we include HOA documentation in our scope when you provide the guidelines, and we never start work until both approvals are in hand.
Fort Lauderdale’s active pump-station and street-raising infrastructure program means permitted work near these zones can face inspection delays tied to municipal sequencing rather than our schedule; we monitor the city’s project map and build realistic timelines into every written quote.
