Fast, Reliable General Contractor Across Lauderhill
Hiring a general contractor in Lauderhill means more than scheduling a crew. It means finding someone who knows what hides inside a 1960s concrete block home before a single wall comes down. We serve all of Lauderhill with remodeling work that starts with a written price, not a guess. Call us at (754) 551-2922 and we’ll walk you through what your project actually involves, and what it will actually cost.
Lauderhill homes tell a story the moment you open them up. Aluminum wiring spliced without junction boxes. Flat roofs overdue by a decade. Floor slabs that have settled on former swampland. We know these houses because we work in them every week. That knowledge changes how we quote, how we schedule, and how we protect you from surprises.
Why Penhallow Remodeling Fort Lauderdale Is Lauderhill’s Preferred General Contractor Company
Our customers in Lauderhill didn’t choose us because we promised the moon. They chose us because we put the price in writing before work starts, and we put the guarantee in writing right next to it. That’s the Kingswell Way, and it’s been the operating standard since 2004. Every Penhallow location is independently owned and operated, but the standard doesn’t change: say the price before the work, show up in the window we gave, leave the place cleaner than we found it.
Trevor Nash leads our team, and he’s the kind of contractor who will tell you a kitchen remodel in Lauderhill runs $14,000 to $45,000 before he tells you it’ll look great. He’ll also tell you why: cabinet line, countertop material, and whether the walls hide code violations that need fixing. Background-checked, uniformed technicians handle every job, so you always know who’s walking into your home. And when you call, a live person answers. 24/7. Not a voicemail tree.
We also know the permit office reality in Lauderhill. Opening a wall on a 1970s home often triggers electrical and structural upgrades you didn’t plan for. We write allowances into the contract up front, so the number on day one is the number on the invoice, and any change order gets priced and approved in writing before we touch anything.

Hire a General Contractor in Lauderhill
Hire a General Contractor in Lauderhill when the project spans multiple trades: plumbing moving, electrical rough-in, framing repair, drywall, tile, finish carpentry. A general contractor coordinates all of it, pulls permits, and keeps the inspection schedule on track. In Lauderhill, that coordination matters more than in newer cities because so many homes were built between the 1960s and 1980s. What looks like a simple bathroom update can become a structural and electrical correction once the walls are open. Our job is to anticipate that before demo day, not after.
Open-Wall Reality Check
Most Lauderhill remodels involve opening walls in a concrete block structure. That’s when the real condition of the house shows up: undersized framing, corroded copper, or aluminum branch wiring that no longer meets code. A flat quote without line-item allowances is how homeowners get burned. We don’t do flat quotes on older Lauderhill homes. We do inspection-first pricing with allowances written into the contract.
Permits and Paperwork
When you hire us as your General Contractor, we pull permits, schedule inspections, and keep a third-party record of every code correction. That record matters for insurance and resale. Drywalling over unpermitted work leaves you with no proof of wind-code compliance. We don’t put you in that position.
General Contractor Services in Lauderhill
General Contractor Services in Lauderhill cover kitchen remodels, bathroom remodels, whole-home updates, and the structural work that comes with older homes.

Every range depends on what’s behind the walls and what you choose for finishes. We’ll tell you which end of the range you’re on before you sign anything.
Kitchen and Bath Remodeling
A Lauderhill kitchen remodel often means correcting poor original layouts, replacing aging electrical service to the cooktop, and addressing moisture damage around sink cabinets. We install Moen and Kohler fixtures, and we’ll show you cabinet and countertop samples from brands we trust to stand behind their own warranties.
Whole-Home and Structural Corrections
Whole-home work in Lauderhill frequently includes impact window installation or roof replacement as part of a larger scope. Impact windows run $8,000 to $25,000. Roof replacement runs $8,000 to $20,000. If your remodel requires both, we coordinate the trades so your insurance paperwork and inspection records stay clean.

Trusted Brands We Service in Lauderhill
We specify products that carry their own manufacturer warranties, which sit alongside our 365-Day Done Right Promise. That means if a Kohler faucet fails inside the year, we come back and fix it at no charge. If a Delta shower valve wasn’t installed correctly and leaks, same thing: we return, we correct, you don’t pay. Moen and Blanco round out the fixture lines we most often install in Lauderhill homes. We don’t push one brand for every job. We pick the product that fits your plumbing rough-in, your budget, and the way your household actually uses the space.

AfterCommon General Contractor Problems We See in Lauderhill Homes
- Undersized framing behind water-damaged drywall. Original 1970s framing in Lauderhill wasn’t always sized for the roof loads plus hurricane tie-down requirements now in effect. We re-frame with pressure-treated lumber where code demands it, and we do it before inspection, not after.
- Aluminum wiring spliced outside junction boxes. It’s common in Lauderhill homes built before 1978. The fix isn’t cosmetic. We bring the rough-in up to current code and get the inspection sign-off before closing any wall.
- Slab settling on east-side swampland. Homes built on former swampland in east Lauderhill routinely need helical piers or slab jacking. Treating those slab cracks as cosmetic is how a repair fails within one hurricane season. We evaluate first.
- Flat roofs with no second line of defense. Low-slope and flat roofs from the 1960s and 1970s age out after decades of subtropical sun and hurricane wind. When we open a ceiling during a remodel, we check the roof deck condition before closing it back up.
Pricing for General Contractor in Lauderhill, FL
Lauderhill pricing is shaped by the age of the housing stock and what code corrections a permit will trigger once walls are open. A smaller kitchen remodel runs $14,000 to $45,000. Bathroom work runs $9,000 to $28,000. Home additions start around $45,000 and run to $130,000. Impact window installation runs $8,000 to $25,000, and roof replacement runs $8,000 to $20,000. These ranges are real numbers for the Lauderhill market, not national averages.
The one thing that moves a Lauderhill quote more than any design choice is what we find behind the drywall: electrical, framing, waterproofing. That’s why our contracts include inspection-first allowances. You see the line items. You approve any change order in writing before work continues. Call (754) 551-2922 for a free estimate written exactly that way.

FAQs About General Contractor in Lauderhill
You should expect electrical corrections first: original aluminum branch wiring or spliced circuits that no longer meet code, which means bringing rough-in up to current standards before any drywall goes back. Depending on the roof and wall assembly, you may also trigger structural tie-down upgrades for high-velocity hurricane standards. We write allowances into the contract so these upgrades are priced, permitted, and inspected. Call (754) 551-2922 and we’ll walk you through what a permit will likely trigger in your specific home.
East-side Lauderhill sits on former swampland, and the soil moves. Driveway slabs crack, settle, and separate from the garage slab, so a proper replacement often means stabilizing the subgrade or adding helical piers before pouring new concrete. Skipping that step is how you get a new driveway that cracks within a hurricane season. Our scope includes the evaluation before we quote the pour.
A change order should state exactly what was found, exactly what we’ll replace it with, the code section driving the correction, and the written price. On a 1970s concrete-block home near Inverrary, our crew opened a bathroom wall to move a drain and found undersized framing behind water-damaged drywall and spliced aluminum wiring. We wrote the change order, re-framed with pressure-treated lumber, brought the rough-in up to code, and got the inspection sign-off before closing the wall. Nothing moves forward without your written approval.
We document what we find and include the correction in the permit scope, so you leave with an inspection record showing current wind-code compliance. That record matters for insurance renewals and for resale disclosure. If we open wall or roof cavities and see tie-downs that don’t meet today’s standards, we bring those to you in writing, with a price and an inspection path. Nothing gets hidden behind drywall.
It’s the final walkthrough list: cabinet alignment, caulk joints, paint touch-ups, window operation, hardware fit, and floor transitions. We walk the home with you, scribble the punch list on paper, and set a date to finish every item. Our 365-Day Done Right Promise runs from the day we call the job complete, so anything we missed stays covered. You call, we return. No re-inspection fee, no service call charge.
