Remodeling Company in Lighthouse Point, FL
Home remodeling in Lighthouse Point runs $14,000 to $45,000 for a kitchen and $9,000 to $28,000 for a bathroom, though whole-home work and additions can reach $130,000. The city’s waterfront properties, many built between the 1950s and 1990s with concrete block, bring specific challenges: salt air corrosion, floodplain rules, and tight access on finger islands. Call (754) 551-2922 for a written price before any work begins.
Why Lighthouse Point Homes Are Different
Lighthouse Point sits on a network of deepwater canals with a water table that sits close to the surface. That changes how we frame, pour, and finish. Elevated foundations are common, and any addition or structural change has to respect FEMA floodplain maps and the city’s strict elevation certificates. We’ve walked into homes where the garage slab sits fine but the back patio has settled two inches because of tidal groundwater movement.
The housing stock is mostly single-family waterfront, built from the 1950s through the 1990s. Concrete block is standard, which is good for hurricanes but rough on remodels: cutting new window openings means reinforcing lintels, and exterior walls often have steel tie-downs embedded from the roof to the slab. Salt air from the Atlantic and the Intracoastal accelerates corrosion on metal fasteners, flashing, and door hardware, so we spec stainless or coated fasteners on every exterior job. On the finger islands east of Federal Highway, access roads narrow to the point where we sometimes bring materials in by barge-mounted crane because a standard delivery truck simply cannot turn around.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Lighthouse Point Services
Most calls we get in Lighthouse Point fall into three buckets: full general contracting for multi-trade projects, kitchen remodels, and bathroom remodels. Here’s what each looks like here.
General Contractor in Lighthouse Point
When a Lighthouse Point homeowner wants to move walls, add square footage, or coordinate plumbing, electrical, drywall, and cabinetry across one project, they need a licensed general contractor who understands the city’s permit office and floodplain rules. On canal-front lots, we deal with seawall setbacks, elevation requirements, and marine-capable equipment for anything touching the water side. Salt air means we write stainless fasteners and corrosion-resistant flashing into every scope, not as an upgrade but as the default. Trevor Nash leads the team and signs off on every written price before work starts. General Contractor in Lighthouse Point
Bathroom Remodeling in Lighthouse Point
Bathroom remodels in Lighthouse Point often start with older 1960s and 1970s layouts where the shower has failed at the pan or the tile has pulled away from moisture-weakened drywall. We strip to the studs, install cement board substrate (the moisture-resistant layer behind your tile), and rebuild with waterproofing that meets South Florida code. Because many of these homes sit low to the water table, we check for hidden moisture intrusion behind walls before quoting, so the written price covers what we actually find. Cabins and vanities go in only after the substrate is dry and stable. Bathroom Remodeling in Lighthouse Point
Kitchen Remodeling in Lighthouse Point
Lighthouse Point kitchens from the 1980s and 1990s often have soffits, fluorescent light boxes, and layouts that no longer work for how people cook now. We remove the soffits where structure allows, reroute electrical for island outlets, and replace cabinet lines with KraftMaid or Wellborn boxes that hold up better in humid, salt-tinged air. Countertops come from Cambria, Silestone, or Caesarstone, and we quote the slab, fabrication, and install as one written number. On canal homes, we coordinate deliveries so large sheets don’t sit in driveway salt spray longer than necessary. Kitchen Remodeling in Lighthouse Point

Home Remodeling in Lighthouse Point
Home remodeling in Lighthouse Point means working with houses built from the 1950s through the 1990s, many of them concrete block with original layouts, dated electrical panels, and windows that do not meet current wind mitigation standards. Salt air from the Intracoastal shortens the life of exterior hardware, and the high water table means any slab work or foundation change has to be planned around drainage and elevation. Whether you’re renovating a single room or reworking the whole house, we write the scope and the price before we pick up a hammer. That’s the Penhallow standard, and it applies to every Home Remodeling project we take on in Lighthouse Point.
Home Remodeling Contractor
Signs you need it
You’re planning work that spans two or more trades – framing, electrical, plumbing, drywall – and you don’t want to coordinate four separate crews on a Lighthouse Point canal lot where access is already tight.
What it costs in Lighthouse Point
Full home remodeling through a contractor typically runs $45,000 to $130,000 depending on square footage, structural changes, and finish level.
How we do it
We start with a walkthrough and a written scope, pull permits from the Lighthouse Point building department, sequence the trades around your living situation, and leave the site clean at the end of each day.
Whole House Remodel
Signs you need it
The layout no longer fits how your family lives, or you’ve been patching one room at a time and the house still feels dated, dark, and inefficient.
What it costs in Lighthouse Point
A whole house remodel in Lighthouse Point generally runs $45,000 to $130,000, with waterfront lots sometimes requiring marine delivery and elevated foundation work that pushes the number higher.
How we do it
We assess the existing structure, identify what can stay and what should go, provide a written fixed price for the entire scope, then run the project from demolition through final inspection with one point of contact.

| Item | Typical range in Lighthouse Point |
|---|---|
| Whole house remodel | $45,000 – $130,000 |

| Luxury home remodeling | $45,000 – $130,000 |
What’s the most common hidden cost in a Lighthouse Point remodel?
Moisture. Salt air and a high water table mean we regularly find corroded fasteners, hidden mold behind old drywall, or slab settling that no one saw until we opened the wall. We write the price after we inspect, so those discoveries don’t become surprise change orders.
Do I need a permit for home remodeling in Lighthouse Point?
Yes, for most structural, electrical, plumbing, and window work. We pull all permits from the city and schedule inspections. Unpermitted work can hold up a sale and, on canal lots, can violate floodplain rules. Call (754) 551-2922 and we’ll walk you through what applies to your project.

FAQs About Remodeling Company in Lighthouse Point
Scheduling depends on permit turnaround and the size of the job. Once Lighthouse Point issues the permit and materials arrive, we set a defined arrival window and hold it. Call (754) 551-2922 to check current scheduling and get a written estimate dated that day.
Some canal-front communities and the streets east of Federal Highway have HOA or architectural review requirements for exterior changes like windows, paint, or fencing. We check before quoting so the written price covers what the board requires, and we handle the paperwork when needed.
No. We write the price after inspection and stick to it unless you change the scope or we find a structural issue no one could see before demo, in which case we stop and get your written approval before proceeding. The 365-Day Done Right Promise covers our workmanship for a full year.
