What Fort Lauderdale Homeowners Say About Rowan Construction Group Fort Lauderdale
Reviews matter because they’re the only marketing we can’t write ourselves. In Fort Lauderdale, where humidity warps cabinets and salt air chews through roofing fasteners, a review that mentions the specific problem and how it was handled tells you more than any brochure. We’ve earned ours the same way since 2007: flat written prices, documented photo records, and crews who show up in uniform with a background check already cleared. Here’s what Fort Lauderdale homeowners actually said after the work was done.
Recent Reviews
“We got three quotes for our kitchen remodel in Coral Ridge. Rowan was the only one who itemized the cabinet line - KraftMaid versus Wellborn, with the price difference spelled out - and put the total in writing before we paid anything. The crew found water damage behind the drywall when they demo’d, photographed it, and stopped until we signed a change order with a new price. Final bill was $340 over the original quote, and that was only because we chose to upgrade the backsplash tile. Every other contractor warned us to expect 15% overages.”
Beatriz M., Coral Ridge, Fort Lauderdale
“Our roof in Victoria Park was 22 years old with GAF shingles that had started cupping. Grant walked the attic with me and showed me the delaminated underlayment with a flashlight - actual photos, not a sales pitch. The quote listed GAF Timberline HDZ versus Owens Corning Duration, with the wind warranty difference explained. They pulled the permit, passed inspection on the first try, and I have a photo record of every layer they stripped down to the deck. The 365-Day Done Right Promise was printed on the contract, not hidden on a website.”
Robert T., Victoria Park, Fort Lauderdale
“We wanted an ADU for my mother-in-law in the backyard of our Rio Vista house. Four contractors gave us verbal ballparks. Rowan delivered a written scope with line-item pricing for foundation, framing, MEP rough-in, and finish - every trade separated so we could see where the money went. When the city flagged a setback issue, they handled the revision, documented the new plan, and didn’t start block work until we signed the adjusted price. No surprises, no ‘trust me’ conversations. The photo record from first dig to final paint is 340 images in a shared folder.”
Nathan P., Rio Vista, Fort Lauderdale
“Our bathroom in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea had a failed shower pan that was leaking into the crawl space. The previous contractor had used a PVC membrane without proper pre-slope, and we didn’t find out until the tile started popping. Rowan’s crew cut open the subfloor, photographed the rot, and stopped. The change order spelled out the new membrane, the proper mortar bed, and the exact cost to replace the damaged joist. They didn’t touch a tool until we signed. Under Clause 1 of the Haven Standard, the price was locked before demo even started - and that’s exactly what happened.”
Steve B., Lauderdale-by-the-Sea, Fort Lauderdale
“We had Belgard pavers installed for our driveway in Imperial Point. The first contractor quoted us without specifying the base depth or edge restraint type. Rowan’s written quote listed 6 inches of crushed concrete base, geotextile fabric, and Techo-Bloc soldier course edging with the part number. When the crew hit a soft spot in the native soil, they photographed the excavation, called us over, and showed us the muck before proposing a soil correction with a signed price. The driveway hasn’t shifted in two wet seasons, and I have the photo record to prove how it was built.”
Beatriz M., Imperial Point, Fort Lauderdale
“Our windows and doors in Colee Hammock were original 1986 single-pane aluminum. Grant measured every opening himself, then gave us a written quote with two options: vinyl impact-rated versus aluminum impact-rated, with the HVHZ certification difference noted. The crew was uniformed, background-checked - we verified - and they photographed the old window removal, the shimming, and the final sealant bead. When one window didn’t pass the post-install inspection due to a manufacturing defect, they reordered, rescheduled, and absorbed the cost. The 365-Day Done Right Promise wasn’t marketing; it was the actual process.”

Why Customers Trust Us
These reviews repeat the same patterns because our process doesn’t change. Under Clause 1 of the Haven Standard, every project gets a written price before work starts - kitchen remodel, roof replacement, ADU, or fence. No exceptions, no “call for a quote” evasion. When conditions change, as they do in Fort Lauderdale’s older homes with plaster-and-lath walls or coral rock foundations, we document what we found, stop, and present a signed change order with a new written price. That’s the administrative discipline that has kept our projects within a few percent of the original quote across 4,000-plus jobs since 2007.
The 365-Day Done Right Promise is printed on every contract, backed by a terms page you can read, not an asterisk. Our crews are background-checked and uniformed; a live person answers calls 24/7; and every visit produces a documented photo record as standard, not an upgrade. We source across fifty-plus vetted brands - KraftMaid, Wellborn, Cambria, Caesarstone, GAF, Owens Corning, Kohler, Toto, Belgard, Techo-Bloc - so the written quote contains honest numbers rather than inflated allowances.
If you have a written estimate from another contractor, we’ll review it line by line at no charge. Our Free Second Opinion is a standing offer because informed customers make better decisions, and better decisions lead to the outcomes these reviews describe.
Call (754) 254-7676 to schedule your free estimate. We’ll put the price in writing before anyone picks up a tool.
