Why Penhallow Remodeling Fort Lauderdale Is Oakland Park’s Preferred General Contractor Company
We’ve spent a lot of hours in Oakland Park homes, and we know what this city throws at a remodel. The salt air off the Intracoastal eats exposed metal. The summer thunderstorms soak everything. The slab-on-grade construction means moisture moves up through the floor, not just down through the roof. Our crews plan for all of it, because we’ve seen what happens when a contractor doesn’t.
Trevor Nash leads our team, and he’s built the operation around a simple standard: say the price before the work, show up in the window we gave, and leave the place cleaner than we found it. Every job gets a 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If something fails inside that year, we come back and fix it at no charge. No re-inspection fee, no service call, no argument.
Every technician who walks through your door is background-checked and in uniform. You’ll know exactly who is in your home, and a live person answers our phone 24/7. Not a voicemail maze, not a callback window. When you call (754) 551-2922, someone picks up.
Styles & brands we work with
Hire a General Contractor in Oakland Park
Hire a General Contractor in Oakland Park when the job touches structure, plumbing, electrical, or load-bearing walls, and when the work has to meet Broward County wind-load and permitting standards. This is not handyman territory. A general contractor pulls the permits, schedules the inspections, coordinates the subs, and carries the responsibility if something goes wrong. For a whole-home remodel or an addition in Oakland Park, you’re looking at $45,000 – $130,000 depending on square footage, roofline changes, and what the engineer has to sign off on.
Permits and Inspections
Oakland Park enforces Florida Building Code, which means hurricane wind-load requirements apply to windows, doors, roofs, and any structural work. We pull every permit, file the product approvals, and get the inspection sign-off before walls close up. A compliant quote includes those steps. A cheap quote quietly skips them, and you find out when the insurance company asks for documentation.
What a Written Price Actually Covers
Our written price is not a range, not an estimate, and not a starting point. It’s the number on the invoice when the job is done, unless you ask for a change. If we find hidden damage mid-project, we stop, show you what we found, and give you a written change order before we touch another square foot. That’s The Kingswell Way, operating since 2004.
General Contractor Services in Oakland Park
General Contractor Services in Oakland Park means more than swinging a hammer. It means knowing that the 1950s concrete block ranch near Royal Palm Park probably has cast iron drain lines under the slab that have been rotting for decades. It means knowing which impact-rated windows meet current Florida Product Approval standards, and filing that approval with the city after install. It means building for humidity, salt air, and storm season, not for a dry climate 1,500 miles away.
Kitchen Remodeling
We plan kitchens around how Oakland Park homes are actually built: concrete block, slab-on-grade, tight layouts from the mid-century boom. Expect $14,000 – $45,000 for a full kitchen remodel, with the low end covering cabinet refacing, new countertops, and a backsplash, and the high end covering layout changes, structural work, and plumbing reroutes. We install KraftMaid and Wellborn cabinetry, Cambria and Silestone quartz, and Kohler and Moen fixtures.
Bathroom Remodeling
A bathroom remodel in Oakland Park typically runs $9,000 – $28,000. What drives the number up is almost always the same thing: the drain lines. Many of these homes east of Dixie Highway still have original cast iron under the slab, and if a camera scope shows it failing, the right move is a repipe before the new tile goes in. We’ll show you the scope footage and give you the price to fix it before anyone closes a wall.

Trusted Brands We Service in Oakland Park
We install and service materials from manufacturers that back their products with real warranties, because our 365-Day Done Right Promise works better when the products underneath it are solid too. In Oakland Park, that means impact-rated window lines from CWS and ES Windows, which carry Miami-Dade County product approvals and meet the wind-load documentation requirements insurers actually ask for. We also work with ECO Window Systems and Mr-Glass for replacement projects. Since our scheduling is coordinated from our Miami office and crews serve Oakland Park locally, we keep a tight stock of common hardware and can usually get specialty parts fast. When the product has a real warranty and our workmanship does too, you’re protected twice.

AfterCommon General Contractor Problems We See in Oakland Park Homes
- Cast iron drain lines failing under the slab. The moist, shifting soil in Oakland Park accelerates corrosion, and many homes east of Dixie Highway still have original piping from the 1950s and 60s. We camera-scope the line before any major remodel so we know what’s down there.
- Wind-load documentation never filed. A contractor installs impact windows but never files the product approval with the city, so the homeowner can’t prove compliance to their insurer. We file the paperwork, not just the glass.
- Slab moisture wrecking new flooring. Without a proper vapor barrier or underlayment, new tile and wood flooring in humid, slab-on-grade homes cups, warps, and cracks within a year. We specify the right underlayment for Oakland Park conditions.
- Cheap quotes that leave out the camera scope. A low bid for a bathroom or kitchen remodel skips the sewer scope and the crew closes walls over failing pipes. Six months later, you’re tearing out fresh tile to fix a leak that should have been caught before demo.

FAQs About General Contractor in Oakland Park
You’ll pay for impact-rated glass and the filing fees that go with documenting product approval, which adds roughly 20 – 35% compared to standard replacement windows. A compliant impact window installation in Oakland Park runs $8,000 – $25,000 depending on window count, size, and frame material. The documentation is not optional if you want the insurance discount, because the insurer will ask for proof. We handle the filing as part of the job. Call (754) 551-2922 for an exact quote.
Yes. Replacing under-slab drain lines requires a plumbing permit, and the city inspects the work before you close the slab back up. Unpermitted repipes can surface years later when you sell the house, and buyers’ inspectors will find them. We pull the permit, schedule the inspection, and get the sign-off documented.
You need the Florida Product Approval number for each window or door, a copy of the permit, and the final inspection record showing the install passed. Without those three, your insurer can deny the wind mitigation discount. We provide all of it in a packet when the job closes, and we keep copies if you ever need replacements.
Because the city’s moist, shifting soil corrodes cast iron faster than inland areas, and many homes east of Dixie Highway still have original 1950s-70s drain lines under the slab. A camera scope before demo tells us if the lines are failing. If they are, replacing them before finish work means you don’t tear out new tile to fix a leak six months later.
We stop work, show you exactly what we found, and give you a written change order with the new price before we touch anything else. You approve it, we proceed. You don’t get a surprise invoice at the end, and you don’t get pressure to sign something you haven’t read. That’s been the standard since 2004, and it’s in writing on every project.
If you’re planning a remodel in Oakland Park, start with a written price. Call (754) 551-2922 and ask for Trevor’s team. We’ll walk the job, scope the drain lines, spec the wind-load products, and hand you a number you can hold us to.
