Fast, Reliable General Contractor Across Tamarac
Hiring a General Contractor in Tamarac means navigating two layers of approval before a hammer ever swings: the city’s architectural review process and, often, an HOA design committee. Most exterior work here, even on single-family homes, requires a submittal packet with color chips, material specs, and elevation drawings. That’s the reality of renovating in a community built around 55+ neighborhoods. We handle the filings, the waiting, and the scheduling so your remodel doesn’t stall halfway through. Call (754) 551-2922 and we’ll walk you through what your specific project needs.
Why Penhallow Remodeling Fort Lauderdale Is Tamarac’s Preferred General Contractor Company
We know the difference between a job that gets approved quickly and one that sits on a committee’s desk for six weeks. Penhallow Remodeling Fort Lauderdale has walked enough submittals through Tamarac’s architectural review to know what the city and the HOAs actually flag: roof material changes, exterior paint colors that drift from the approved palette, and window style swaps on street-facing elevations. Getting those details right before filing means fewer revision cycles and a start date that holds.
Trevor Nash runs our operations with one rule that hasn’t changed since we started: the price you see in writing is the price you pay. Every Tamarac project gets a written quote before work begins, and every quote is backed by the 365-Day Done Right Promise. If something we installed fails inside that year, we come back and fix it at no charge. No service call fees, no re-inspection fees. That promise is in writing on every job.
Our crews arrive in uniform and pass background checks before they ever set foot in a Tamarac home. You’ll know exactly who’s walking up your driveway, and they’ll know your neighborhood’s quirks: the sandy soil in the Woodlands that settles and cracks stucco, the original cast-iron plumbing in 1970s builds, the HOA rules about work hours.
Styles & brands we work with
General Contractor Services in Tamarac
General Contractor Services in Tamarac cover the full scope of residential remodeling, from a single bathroom refresh to whole-home rework. What sets Tamarac apart is the approval sequencing. We pull the building permit only after architectural review clears, so you don’t end up with a permit for a roof color the committee just rejected. Most kitchen remodels in Tamarac run $14,000 – $45,000 depending on layout changes, cabinet line, and countertop material. A home addition typically lands between $45,000 and $130,000.
Kitchen and Bathroom Remodeling
Tamarac’s housing stock dates mostly from the 1960s through the 1980s, which means we’re often working around original footprint limitations and dated plumbing. We install Kohler and Moen fixtures with their own manufacturer warranties layered on top of our 365-day promise. For a kitchen, expect $14,000 – $45,000. A small bathroom remodel runs $5,000 – $12,000, while a full bathroom rework lands at $9,000 – $28,000.
Whole Home and Additions
Adding square footage in Tamarac means a longer architectural review cycle, especially in established communities like the Woodlands. We file elevation drawings with the initial submittal and schedule rough-in work to begin only after the committee signs off. Home additions here typically cost $45,000 – $130,000, with much of the variance tied to foundation work on sandy soil and hurricane tie-down upgrades.

Construction Company in Tamarac
As a Construction Company working in Tamarac, we coordinate the full stack: permits, architectural review, subcontractors, inspections, and final walkthrough. Homeowners hire us as their Construction Company when the job is big enough that piecemeal bids would create gaps in responsibility. Instead of chasing three separate crews and a permit office, you get one written quote, one schedule, and one phone number where a real person answers 24/7. Impact window installation in Tamarac runs $8,000 – $25,000. Roof replacement lands at $8,000 – $20,000.
Roofing and Exterior Work
Hurricane hardening drives a lot of exterior work in Tamarac. Older homes often need tie-down upgrades and moisture barrier improvements before or alongside a roof replacement. We file the architectural review submittal with your roof material specs and paint chips, then schedule the tear-off after approval clears. Roof replacement ranges from $8,000 to $20,000 depending on material and roof geometry.
Impact Windows and Doors
Impact window installation is one of the most common whole-home upgrades we handle in Tamarac, both for insurance discounts and HOA compliance. The approval path matters here: many Tamarac HOAs require specific frame finishes and mullion patterns. We include those details in the submittal packet. Budget $8,000 – $25,000 for a full impact window retrofit on a typical Tamarac single-family home.
Trusted Brands We Service in Tamarac
We install materials from manufacturers that stand behind their products the way we stand behind our work. For Tamarac kitchens, we default to Moen and Delta fixtures, which carry lifetime limited warranties on most models. Kohler is our go-to for bathroom suites, from tub-to-shower conversions to full vanity builds. Because we stock common replacement parts locally, a warranty follow-up doesn’t mean waiting on a parts shipment from out of state. When the work uses recognized trade brands, the promise behind the remodel has two layers: their warranty and ours.
Common General Contractor Problems We See in Tamarac Homes
- Architectural review filed too late. Homeowners pull a building permit before the design committee sees the submittal, then the committee flags a roof color or window style. The permit gets amended, the schedule slips, and the homeowner eats the change order. We file review packets first, permits second.
- Sandy soil settlement in original 1970s builds. Around the Woodlands Country Club section, many homes have settled enough to throw doors out of alignment and crack stucco. We check for settlement before hanging cabinets or setting tile, because new work installed on a shifting base fails fast.
- Under-specified hurricane hardening. Some bids keep the number low by skipping tie-down upgrades and moisture barriers. The inspection passes, but the next windstorm or humidity cycle finds the weak point. We specify the tie-downs up front, in writing, with the cost in the original quote.
- Cast-iron plumbing and aluminum wiring in original 1960s-80s builds. A kitchen remodel that doesn’t budget for replacing a crumbling cast-iron drain stack can stall behind the walls once demo starts. We flag it in the quote, not after the wall is open.

FAQs About General Contractor in Tamarac
Yes. Tamarac runs most exterior changes through architectural review, and a roof material swap, like going from asphalt shingles to tile or metal, nearly always triggers a committee review. The submittal needs material specs, color chips, and sometimes elevation drawings. We file all of that for you before we pull the building permit, because filing the permit first and getting a material rejection second means wasted fees and a stalled roof. Call (754) 551-2922 and we’ll tell you what your specific roof change requires.
Expect about two to four weeks for the committee to review a complete submittal, and longer if the packet is missing paint chips, roof specs, or drawings. A clean submittal moves faster. We file the packet, track the review, and schedule the work to begin only after the sign-off lands, so you’re not paying for a crew that can’t legally start. Get an exact timeline for your project by calling (754) 551-2922.
Most Tamarac submittals need exterior elevation drawings, paint color chips with manufacturer names and codes, roof material specifications, and window or door style details if those change. For additions, include survey and site plan documents. We assemble the packet, file it, and handle revisions if the committee sends it back. The written quote you get covers our work, including the filing. Call (754) 551-2922 to schedule a free estimate.
No. Even interior plumbing changes in Tamarac condos typically require a permit, and many condo associations have their own review layer ahead of the city. A tub-to-shower conversion involves moving or replacing the drain and valve, which the city treats as plumbing work, not a cosmetic swap. We pull the permit and handle the HOA paperwork. A tub-to-shower conversion here runs $3,500 – $10,000. Call (754) 551-2922 for an exact quote.
Budget for replacement before you budget for cabinets. Original cast-iron drain stacks and aluminum branch wiring in 1960s-1980s Tamarac homes often fail once walls open up. Replacing a cast-iron stack behind a kitchen can run $2,000 – $6,000 depending on access, and rewiring a kitchen to current code typically adds $3,000 – $8,000. We flag both in the written quote, so the number on day one includes the hidden work. Call (754) 551-2922 for a free estimate on your kitchen.
