Fast, Reliable General Contractor Across Lighthouse Point
Finding a general contractor in Lighthouse Point who actually understands canal-front setbacks, flood elevation rules, and barge delivery logistics isn’t easy. If you’re remodeling a kitchen, adding a bathroom, or reworking a patio on one of the finger islands, you already know the constraints: narrow streets, zero-lot-line walls, salt air that eats standard fasteners. We handle that complexity every week. Call (754) 551-2922 and we’ll put a written price in front of you before any work starts.
Why Penhallow Remodeling Fort Lauderdale Is Lighthouse Point’s Preferred General Contractor Company
Trevor Nash runs Penhallow Remodeling Fort Lauderdale, and he runs crews that know Lighthouse Point’s building stock well.

We carry that familiarity into every quote on our General Contractor team.
What homeowners in Lighthouse Point tell us they want is simple: a real person who answers the phone, a written number that doesn’t move, and a crew that shows up when it said it would. Trevor’s operation runs on The Kingswell Way. Say the price before the work. Show up in the window we gave. Leave the place cleaner than we found it.

Styles & brands we work with
Licensed General Contractor in Lighthouse Point
A Licensed General Contractor in Lighthouse Point manages the whole remodel: permits, scheduling, trade coordination, inspections, and the final sign-off. You need one when your project touches structure, plumbing, electrical, or anything requiring a permit. In Lighthouse Point, that includes most kitchen and bath remodels, because moving walls or relocating plumbing means the city wants drawings, and the floodplain map often wants elevation certificates. A kitchen remodel here typically runs $14,000 – $45,000, and a bathroom remodel lands between $9,000 and $28,000 depending on waterproofing scope and fixture level.
Zero-lot-line and shared-wall kitchens
Many homes in Lighthouse Point sit close enough to the property line that a kitchen remodel means working against a wall you share with a neighbor. We write party-wall notice into the schedule and keep drilling and dust controlled on the shared side. That notice isn’t optional when neighbors are ten feet away.
Elevation and floodplain coordination
Before we open a single wall on a canal-front lot, we confirm the finished floor elevation against current FEMA maps. Adding living space below the required elevation means plan revisions and inspection denials. We handle that paperwork as part of the job, not as a surprise add-on.
Residential General Contractor in Lighthouse Point
A Residential General Contractor in Lighthouse Point handles the single-family-home work that makes up most of this city’s remodeling demand: kitchens, baths, room additions, and outdoor living like paver patios. The homes here are largely concrete block from the 1950s through 1990s, built for hurricanes but often lacking the wind mitigation and corrosion-resistant retrofits that salt air eventually forces. A home addition in Lighthouse Point typically falls between $45,000 and $130,000, and paver patios run $3,500 – $11,000 depending on access and base prep.
Room additions on canal lots
Adding living space on a Lighthouse Point canal-front lot is not like adding onto a suburban lot. Setbacks shrink the buildable area, flood elevation rules raise the floor, and sometimes the only delivery route is by water. We plan the addition around those constraints from the first site visit.
Outdoor living within the setbacks
Paver patios and outdoor kitchens fit well on Lighthouse Point’s waterfront lots, but the same tight side yards that block trucks also shape the design. We stage materials where they can actually arrive, whether that means smaller pallets or a barge on the canal side.
Trusted Brands We Service in Lighthouse Point
We pull materials from brands that carry their own warranties, so the work is backed twice: once by us, once by the manufacturer. That matters on a salt-air canal front where cheap fixtures corrode fast. We use Kohler and Moen fixtures, Delta shower valves, and Blanco sinks when the spec calls for them. We keep parts on order for Lighthouse Point jobs, and because we run material deliveries through our South Florida dispatch, we can reorder fast if the first run doesn’t survive the salt spray test.

AfterCommon General Contractor Problems We See in Lighthouse Point Homes
- Truck access failures: A contractor who doesn’t know the finger islands east of Federal Highway will assume a dump truck can reach the backyard. It often can’t. Materials end up on the swale, blocking narrow streets and turning neighbors sour before the first tile is set.
- Party-wall dust and drilling: On zero-lot-line lots, shared walls mean every hammer drill tap travels. Skipping written notice to the neighbor invites stop-work complaints and delays that nobody wants.
- Floodplain elevation surprises: Adding living space without confirming finished floor elevation triggers plan revisions, inspection denials, and thousands in reengineering. We check the flood map before drawings, not after.
- Salt-air corrosion: Standard steel fasteners inside six blocks of the Intracoastal rust out in a few years. We spec stainless and hot-dip galvanized hardware on Lighthouse Point jobs, and the difference shows in year five.
Pricing for General Contractor in Lighthouse Point, FL
Here’s what Lighthouse Point homeowners should expect to budget. These aren’t national averages pulled from a website; they’re the numbers we write on real quotes here, shaped by canal access, flood elevation, and the age of the 1950s – 1990s housing stock. What moves the number: barge delivery when the side yard’s too tight, corrosion-resistant fastener upgrades, and any elevation work the floodplain map requires. The estimate we give you is free, written, and it doesn’t shift after demo day. That’s the Kingswell standard, and it applies to every job we sign in Lighthouse Point.

FAQs About General Contractor in Lighthouse Point
We use barge-mounted cranes to hoist materials over the canal to the backyard, which is standard practice for finger island lots east of Federal Highway. On a paver patio job in the Venetian Isles section, our crew staged the entire material package by barge because the side yard couldn’t fit a dump truck. We scheduled a draw that matched the barge windows, kept the seawall clear, and used corrosion-resistant fasteners throughout. The inspection passed three days early. If your lot needs barge access, we’ll write the logistics into the quote up front, not tell you after signing. Call (754) 551-2922 to talk through your specific lot.
Yes, and we do it for you. Written party-wall notice is part of our standard Lighthouse Point process when the remodel touches a shared wall or sits on a zero-lot-line. It’s not a legal formality; it prevents stop-work complaints and keeps the job moving. We deliver the notice before the drilling starts and include the timeline. Call (754) 551-2922 if you want to know what the notice covers for your particular wall.
Homes in Lighthouse Point’s flood zones require finished floor elevation verification before the city signs off on any addition or structural change. You’re typically looking at a surveyor’s elevation certificate, a floodplain review as part of the permit package, and often a post-framing inspection to confirm the final height. We coordinate all of that as part of the permit process and we don’t start work until the elevation is confirmed in writing. If a contractor skips this step, you pay for it later in revisions and denied inspections. Call (754) 551-2922 for a quote that includes the elevation work, not one that pretends it doesn’t exist.
Salt air from the Atlantic and the Intracoastal corrodes standard steel fasteners inside five to seven years, so on Lighthouse Point jobs we spec stainless steel or hot-dip galvanized hardware, corrosion-resistant hinges, and moisture-rated substrates behind tile. We use cement board substrate, the moisture-resistant layer behind your tile, on every canal-front bath remodel. The fixtures we pull, Kohler, Moen, Delta, Blanco, carry warranties that match the marine environment better than budget lines. You’ll see the upcharge on the quote, and you won’t regret it in year six. Call (754) 551-2922 to get a written number that includes the right materials for your lot.
No, not if the work touches structure, plumbing, or electrical. Lighthouse Point requires permits for most kitchen and bath remodels even when walls don’t move. Painting, trim, and light fixture swaps are sometimes exempt, but anything behind a wall pulls a permit. We pull permits and sit through the inspections as part of every job, so the work is signed off and covered under our 365-Day Done Right Promise. Call (754) 551-2922 and ask about your specific scope; we’ll tell you straight what needs a permit and what doesn’t, before you sign anything.
