How Penhallow Remodeling Came to Fort Lauderdale
Trevor Nash spent years watching Fort Lauderdale homeowners get burned by the same pattern. A contractor would quote a number over the phone, show up late, then hand over a change order that doubled the price before the drywall was even hung. He saw kitchens torn apart and left that way for weeks. He saw beautiful mid-century homes in Oakland Park and Wilton Manors get sloppy work because the crew was rushing to the next job. By the time Penhallow Remodeling was ready to open a branch in Fort Lauderdale, Trevor already knew exactly what this market needed: the written price, the set arrival window, and a guarantee that actually means something. He spent months building a local team that understood South Florida construction, from the humidity that affects tile setting to the hurricane codes that shape every exterior wall. This branch wasn’t about planting a flag. It was about giving this city a remodeling company that keeps its word.
Trevor Nash’s Personal Connection to the Construction Trade
Trevor Nash grew up around construction the way some kids grow up around baseball. His earliest clear memory is standing on a plywood subfloor, watching a tradesman snap a chalk line across the slab, and feeling the vibration of that snap travel up through his sneakers. He was maybe seven. The smell of sawdust and damp concrete still takes him right back to that afternoon. In high school he worked summers carrying lumber and cleaning job sites, learning what it meant to show up before the heat got brutal and stay until the last nail was driven. South Florida taught him early that construction here is different. You build for the humidity, the salt air, the storms that roll in off the Atlantic. A bathroom remodel in Fort Lauderdale isn’t the same as a bathroom remodel in Ohio, and he never forgot that.
What draws him to this work, still, after more than a decade in the trade, is the moment a homeowner walks into a finished room and goes quiet for a second. That pause where they’re taking it in. He’s seen it in a kitchen in Dania Beach where a family had cooked cramped for years, and in a primary bath in Lighthouse Point where a couple finally got the walk-in shower they’d talked about for a decade. That moment is the whole point. If he weren’t doing this, he’d probably be teaching it. But he is doing this, and he’s built a team that treats every job like it’s happening in a neighbor’s house, because around here, it usually is.
Meet Trevor Nash – The Person Behind Every Job
Trevor Nash is Owner & Founder of this Fort Lauderdale branch of Penhallow Remodeling. He came up through the trade itself, not through a management program. He has set tile, hung cabinets, pulled permits and walked inspections. He knows what a change order looks like from both sides of the table, and he knows why a written price matters more than a handshake. What separates Trevor from a corporate franchise manager is that he can walk onto any job site in Tamarac or Coconut Creek and tell you whether the work is right just by looking. He’s not checking a chart. He’s checking the work. Outside the job, Trevor is a fisherman who still gets out on the Intracoastal when the mornings are calm. It’s the same patience he brings to a remodel. You can’t rush a good cast, and you can’t rush a good grout line. He is personally committed to every homeowner this company serves. When the work has his name on it, it has his attention on it.
Our Promise to Fort Lauderdale Homeowners
Our values aren’t posters on a wall. They’re policies we follow on every job. The first is The Kingswell Way: Say the price before the work. Every remodel gets a written, line-item price before anything starts. No change orders unless you ask for a change. Show up in the window we gave. We give you a real arrival window, and we’re there inside it. Leave the place cleaner than we found it. We tape off work areas, we lay floor protection, and we haul our own debris. Put the guarantee in writing. It’s called The Kingswell Guarantee, and it’s on every job. Come back if it fails. If something we did fails inside the guarantee period, we come back and fix it at no charge. That’s the deal.
Our Credentials
When you hire a remodeling team to work inside your home, you deserve to know who’s walking through the door. Here’s what we hold ourselves to:
- State-licensed. Every pro working under our name is required to hold the license their state requires. That’s not a perk. It’s the price of admission.
- Insured & bonded. We carry insurance and bonding, which protects you and your property while we’re on site.
- Local experience. Our team has spent years working in South Florida, learning what this climate does to homes and how to build for it.
- Strong local reputation. We’ve earned the trust of homeowners across Fort Lauderdale, Oakland Park, Hollywood and the surrounding area, one job at a time.
Why do those matter to you? A licensed pro has passed the exams and met the state’s bar to do the work legally. Insurance and bonding mean you’re not left holding the bag if something goes wrong. Local experience means we know the permitting offices, the inspectors, and the building codes in your city. And a local reputation is the only credential you can’t buy. It has to be earned.
Rooted in Fort Lauderdale
This is our home market. We work in Fort Lauderdale, Oakland Park, Hollywood, Tamarac, Lauderhill, Coconut Creek, Lighthouse Point, Dania Beach, Ives Estates, Wilton Manors, Broadview Park and Lauderdale Lakes. We know which neighborhoods have original 1960s cast iron pipes that need attention during a bath remodel. We know the older homes near Las Olas that need special care with permitting. We’ve sat in the city offices, we know the inspectors by face, and we’ve pulled permits in every city we serve. When you call us, you’re calling a local team that knows your block, not a voice in another state.
