Penhallow Remodeling Fort Lauderdale serves Dania Beach homeowners with written pricing before any work starts, background-checked uniformed crews, and a 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing on every job. Whether you’re planning a kitchen remodel off Federal Highway, a bathroom remodel in the historic downtown grid, or a whole-home addition near the Intracoastal, call (754) 551-2922 for a free estimate. We’ll give you a real number, a real arrival window, and a written guarantee before we pull a single permit.
Why Penhallow Remodeling Fort Lauderdale Is Dania Beach’s Preferred General Contractor Company
Dania Beach homeowners have specific problems that contractors from inland cities don’t always understand. A 1958 concrete-block ranch near SE 5th Avenue deals with salt air corroding its window flashing. A mid-rise condo off Dania Beach Boulevard answers to an HOA board that wants documentation before demo day. Every project here touches FEMA flood maps, high-wind uplift tables, and corrosion-resistant fastener specs. We build quotes around those realities, and we put every price in writing before work starts.
We’re part of the Kingswell family of companies, operating to The Kingswell Way since 2004. That means a written price before any work begins, a defined arrival window, a clean job site at the end of every day, and a written guarantee on every project. Our crews carry the same standard into every Dania Beach home: background-checked, uniformed, and trained to explain what “cement board substrate” means without making you feel talked down to.
Trevor Nash leads our team with a simple rule: say the price before the work, show up when we said we would, and leave the place cleaner than we found it. Scheduling is coordinated from our Miami (South FL) office, and our crews serve Dania Beach locally. When you call, a real person answers 24/7, not a voicemail maze.
Styles & brands we work with
Hire a General Contractor in Dania Beach
Hire a General Contractor in Dania Beach when the project touches structure, code, or coordination across multiple trades. That’s the line most homeowners learn the hard way: a kitchen remodel stops being a cabinet swap the moment you move a wall, rework plumbing, or pull a load-bearing header permit. In Dania Beach, that line comes fast. A typical home addition runs $45,000 to $130,000 depending on flood elevation work and wind-load engineering. A kitchen remodel runs $14,000 to $45,000. A bathroom remodel runs $9,000 to $28,000. The number on paper is the number on the invoice, because we write it down before work starts.
Permit And Code Management
We handle the Dania Beach building department from first filing to final inspection. That means elevation certificates, flood vent calculations, wind-load documentation, and product approvals before we price a single stud. You don’t chase paperwork. We do.
Multi-Trade Coordination
One crew, one schedule, one accountable point of contact. Electricians, plumbers, tile setters, drywallers, cabinet installers: all coordinated under our umbrella so the job doesn’t stall waiting for the next trade to wander in.
General Contractor Services in Dania Beach
General Contractor Services in Dania Beach cover what our customers actually ask for: kitchens, baths, whole-home remodels, and additions – plus the structural and waterproofing work that those jobs reveal along the way. Every project starts with a site review and a written quote, then moves into permit drawings, material selection, and scheduled construction. When we open a wall in a 1960s home off Stirling Road and find what the last guy missed, you hear about it with a photo and a number attached. Not a surprise. A plan.
Kitchen And Bath Remodels
We install KraftMaid and Wellborn cabinetry, Cambria and Silestone countertops, and Kohler or Moen fixtures. Those brands carry their own warranties alongside our 365-Day Done Right Promise, so the layers of protection are real. A small kitchen remodel in Dania Beach typically runs $9,000 to $20,000. A walk-in shower installation runs $4,500 to $12,000.
Whole-Home And Structural Work
When the scope pulls in a new stem-wall footing, a 200-amp panel upgrade, or impact windows rated for exposure C, we coordinate it. Impact window installation on a Dania Beach home ranges $8,000 to $25,000, and the product approval paperwork matters as much as the glass. We file it properly.

Trusted Brands We Service in Dania Beach
We install and service products from manufacturers whose warranties are engineered for coastal exposure. ES Windows and ECO Window Systems supply impact-rated window units that carry Miami-Dade and Florida Building Code product approvals, so the wind-load documentation on your permit application is actually defensible. Mr-Glass provides glazing components we use on fenestration work near the beach and Intracoastal. We also work with CWS window systems on projects where the structural opening needs a custom rating. Because we bring our own crews, not subcontracted strangers, the brand on the box and the hands installing it answer to the same name: Penhallow Remodeling.
Common General Contractor Problems We See in Dania Beach Homes
- Slab below Base Flood Elevation. Many 1950s-1970s concrete block homes in Dania Beach sit below the FEMA BFE now. When that’s true, permitted structural work triggers elevation requirements or flood vent modifications that unpermitted quotes simply ignore, until your insurance carrier asks questions.
- Corroded cast-iron drains and original 60-amp panels. The historic downtown grid is thick with these. Brackish groundwater eats cast iron. A kitchen remodel that opens the slab often reveals a re-pipe and a panel upgrade as mandatory code corrections, not optional extras.
- Underspecified fasteners and flashing. Salt air pits standard galvanized hardware within two hurricane seasons. We specify stainless or coated fasteners and proper flashing as standard on any beach-adjacent addition, not as an upgrade line item.
- Wrong uplift tables on truss and second-floor framing. Florida Building Code 7th Edition speed 140 exposure C governs Dania Beach. Prescriptive uplift tables from inland counties trigger stop-work orders at the sheathing inspection. We engineer to the coastal standard from the first drawing.

AfterPricing for General Contractor in Dania Beach, FL
Here’s the truth about pricing in Dania Beach: the sticker number matters less than what’s written next to it. A written line-item quote tells you whether flood compliance, product approvals, and corrosion-resistant fasteners are in the number or bolted on later. Our quotes include the code work. The cheap one usually doesn’t, and that’s how a $30,000 addition becomes a $60,000 one after the building department sees the plans. We’d rather show you the real number on day one.
| Project | Dania Beach Price Range |
|---|---|
| Home Addition | $45,000 – $130,000 |
| Impact Window Installation | $8,000 – $25,000 |

The FEMA And Code Reality In Dania Beach
Here’s the information gain, the thing you won’t find on a generic contractor page: in Dania Beach, any permitted structural work on a pre-FIRM slab home must demonstrate finished floor elevation above the FEMA Base Flood Elevation, or the homeowner loses FEMA coverage eligibility. Read that again. Pull a permit on a home that sits below BFE, and the flood insurance that covered the property for decades can be yanked. So a general contractor here typically starts a quote with an elevation certificate review and flood vent math before pricing a single stud. Skip that step, and you’re not just overpaying. You’re uninsuring your house.
On a 1958 concrete-block ranch off SE 5th Avenue near the historic downtown grid, our crew opened walls to prep for a 400-square-foot addition and found corroded cast-iron drain lines and a 60-amp panel. Before we could pull framing permits, we dewatered the slab area for four days, re-piped the drains in PVC, and upgraded to a 200-amp service with arc-fault breakers, then set the new stem-wall footing 24 inches above the 100-year flood line. That’s not an upsell. That’s the job. A quote that skips the dewatering, the re-pipe, the panel, and the elevation math is a quote that won’t pass inspection and won’t protect your insurance standing.
South Florida’s subtropical climate compounds this. Intense summer heat, heavy rainfall, and salt-laden ocean breezes accelerate corrosion on metal fasteners, flashing, and exterior finishes. The flat terrain and high water table complicate drainage and often require dewatering during foundation work. Beach-adjacent homes face the worst of it: standard galvanized hardware pits and rusts within two hurricane seasons, voiding the manufacturer’s wind-load warranty. A compliant quote specifies stainless or coated fasteners, proper flashing, and products with Miami-Dade product approvals. A cheap quote doesn’t, and the difference shows up in rust streaks about 18 months later.
This page maps Dania Beach’s specific FEMA flood zones, Miami-Dade product approvals, and inspection sign-off sequence into a single construction brief, so you can compare contractor quotes line-by-line against what the building department will actually enforce. Print it. Bring it to your next quote. The contractor who flinches at the flood vent question is the contractor who won’t be around when the insurance adjuster arrives.

FAQs About General Contractor in Dania Beach
Yes. In Dania Beach, removing a load-bearing wall means the new header and any new shear assembly must be calculated against Florida Building Code 7th Edition speed 140 exposure C uplift and lateral loads. Your permit package needs stamped calculations showing the connection hardware, not a prescriptive table from an inland county. We prepare those calculations as part of a standard structural permit package, so the first sheathing inspection doesn’t stop the job. Call (754) 551-2922 for an exact quote on your wall removal; estimates are free.
The short answer: if your finished floor sits below the FEMA Base Flood Elevation, and the remodel touches structural components, you likely need flood vents or elevation work. The only way to know for certain is to review your elevation certificate and your FEMA flood zone map panel. We do this review before pricing any structural work. It takes about 30 minutes on site, and it tells you whether your $45,000 addition is actually a $95,000 addition with elevation. Better to know on day one. Call (754) 551-2922 for a free elevation review.
A compliant Dania Beach roofing quote includes stainless or coated fasteners, proper flashing and underlayment rated for speed 140 exposure C, and product approvals filed with Miami-Dade or the Florida Building Code. A cheap quote specifies standard galvanized fasteners and builder-grade flashing. Those corrode within two hurricane seasons, void the manufacturer’s wind-load warranty, and fail inspection. The price difference is usually $1,200 to $2,400. The insurance and inspection risk is much larger. Call (754) 551-2922 for a written roofing quote that spells out the fastener and flashing specs.
Yes. We pull the permit, schedule the inspections, meet the inspector on site, and sign off at the end. You don’t chase the building department, and you don’t get surprised by a correction notice you never saw coming. Every permit we pull includes the elevation certificate review, flood vent math, and wind-load calculations the code requires. Final inspection is our responsibility, not your homework. Call (754) 551-2922 to start with a free site review.
A 60-amp panel triggers a mandatory upgrade to at least 200 amps before the kitchen rough-in inspection passes. The old 60-amp service cannot safely carry a modern kitchen’s load: induction range, refrigerator, dishwasher, disposal, and convenience outlets on arc-fault breakers. We include the panel upgrade in our written quote from the start, not as a change order after demo day. Figure $2,500 to $6,000 depending on the service entrance and grounding work. Call (754) 551-2922 for a kitchen remodel quote that includes the panel, because the building department will require it anyway.

Trevor and the team will walk your Dania Beach property, review the flood map and elevation certificate if you have one, and hand you a line-item quote you can hold us to.
