Remodeling & Modernization Services in Lauderhill

Our Lauderhill services focus on the specific needs of the city's 1960s-70s housing stock — bringing dated properties up to modern standards of comfort, efficiency, safety, and style.

Kitchen Remodeling Lauderhill

Most Lauderhill kitchens still have their original 1960s-70s layouts — closed-off galley designs, laminate countertops, basic cabinetry, and outdated appliances. We transform these kitchens into modern, open spaces with quartz or granite countertops, soft-close shaker cabinetry, subway or mosaic tile backsplashes, and energy-efficient lighting. Where structural walls allow, we create open-concept layouts that connect the kitchen to the living and dining areas.

Bathroom Remodeling Lauderhill

Lauderhill bathrooms from the 1960s-70s typically feature small footprints, dated tile, basic vanities, and tub-shower combos. Our renovations maximize the existing space with walk-in showers, modern floating vanities, updated fixtures, and moisture-resistant finishes. Proper waterproofing is critical in these older homes — we install complete membrane systems that prevent mold and water damage behind walls and under floors.

Impact Windows & Doors Lauderhill

Lauderhill's older homes were built with single-pane jalousie windows, awning windows, and standard sliding glass doors that provide zero hurricane protection. Replacing them with impact-rated windows and doors is the single most impactful upgrade for Lauderhill homeowners — providing storm protection, noise reduction, energy savings, and significant insurance premium reductions. We handle Broward County permits and can complete most Lauderhill homes in 1-2 days.

Condo Renovation Lauderhill

Lauderhill has thousands of condo units — particularly in the Inverrary community — that are ready for full renovations. We specialize in condo interior remodeling including kitchen updates, bathroom renovations, flooring replacement, and interior painting. We handle all condo association requirements including board approvals, insurance certificates, and compliance with building rules.

Roofing Lauderhill

Many Lauderhill roofs are on their second or third lifecycle and need replacement rather than another repair. We install shingle, tile, flat, and metal roofing systems with modern underlayment, enhanced fastening patterns, and proper ventilation. A new roof combined with hurricane straps brings older Lauderhill homes closer to current wind resistance standards and reduces insurance costs.

Painting, Flooring, Driveways & More

Interior and exterior painting with UV and mildew-resistant products. Porcelain tile and luxury vinyl plank flooring to replace aged carpet and vinyl. Paver driveways and walkways to replace cracked concrete. Seamless gutter systems. Complete home modernization under one licensed contractor.

Why Lauderhill Homeowners Trust Royal Builders

1960s-70s Home Specialists

We've renovated hundreds of homes built during Lauderhill's original development era. We know the typical construction methods — CBS block construction with specific plumbing layouts, electrical panel types, window configurations, and roof structures common to this era. This deep familiarity means we can estimate more accurately, anticipate hidden conditions, and execute renovations efficiently without the surprises that trip up contractors unfamiliar with older housing stock.

Condo Renovation Expertise

Lauderhill's condo communities — particularly Inverrary's extensive complex — have specific rules, approval processes, and logistical requirements for renovation work. We understand the process: association approval applications, insurance certificate submissions, work-hour compliance, noise limitations, material delivery coordination, and debris removal. Our experience with Lauderhill condos means fewer delays and smoother projects.

Value-Focused Renovations

Lauderhill homeowners want quality work at fair prices. We understand that not every renovation needs luxury-tier finishes — many Lauderhill projects focus on durable, attractive, mid-range materials that deliver excellent results without over-investing relative to the neighborhood's property values. We help homeowners make smart renovation decisions that maximize both livability and resale potential.

Minutes Away in Sunrise

Our Sunrise headquarters is just minutes from any Lauderhill address — down NW 44th Street, Commercial Boulevard, or Oakland Park Boulevard. Fast consultations, efficient crew deployment, and quick response times are standard for our Lauderhill clients.

Lauderhill-Specific Construction Knowledge

Inverrary Community Expertise

Inverrary is Lauderhill's largest and most recognized community — a sprawling development of condos, townhomes, and single-family homes centered around the Inverrary Country Club. Built primarily in the late 1960s and 1970s, Inverrary's units range from compact one-bedroom condos to larger three-bedroom townhomes, all needing varying degrees of modernization. Royal Builders has completed numerous renovations within Inverrary's multiple phases and associations. We understand the different building types, the association approval processes for each phase, and the specific work rules that apply. From quick kitchen refreshes to full condo gut renovations, Inverrary is one of our most active project areas.

Modernizing 1960s-70s Construction

Lauderhill was developed primarily during the 1960s and 1970s, when South Florida was experiencing rapid residential growth. Homes from this era share common characteristics: concrete block and stucco (CBS) construction, jalousie or awning windows, terrazzo or basic tile flooring, original galvanized plumbing, and flat or low-slope roofs. While the structural bones of these homes are solid, nearly every system and finish needs updating after 50-60 years. We approach Lauderhill home modernization systematically — addressing the most critical needs first (windows, roof, plumbing) and then working through aesthetic upgrades (kitchen, bathrooms, flooring, paint) in a logical sequence that minimizes total cost and disruption.

Energy Efficiency Upgrades

Lauderhill's older homes were built before modern energy codes and insulation standards. Original single-pane windows, minimal attic insulation, and aging HVAC systems result in high electricity bills — particularly during South Florida's long, hot summers. Impact window installation alone can reduce cooling costs by 15-25% through improved insulation values. Combined with proper attic insulation, LED lighting, and efficient HVAC systems, a comprehensive modernization can dramatically reduce monthly energy costs while improving comfort year-round.

Affordable Storm Hardening

Many Lauderhill homes were built before post-Hurricane Andrew building code reforms. They may lack critical storm-resistance features including roof-to-wall hurricane straps, secondary water barriers, impact-rated windows and doors, and properly rated garage doors. Storm hardening these older homes is both a safety priority and a financial opportunity — the insurance premium savings from a favorable wind mitigation report often pay for the upgrades within a few years. We offer practical, budget-conscious storm hardening packages specifically designed for Lauderhill's older housing stock.

Lauderhill Isles

This waterfront community features homes along canal systems that add waterfront character and some construction considerations. We handle the specific needs of canal-adjacent properties while providing the same comprehensive renovation services available throughout Lauderhill.

Lauderhill Mall Area

The neighborhoods surrounding the Lauderhill Mall corridor feature a mix of single-family homes and smaller condo communities from the 1960s and 1970s. These homes are ideal candidates for comprehensive modernization — impact windows, kitchen remodels, bathroom updates, and exterior refreshes that increase both comfort and property value.

Oakland Park Boulevard Corridor

Homes along and near Lauderhill's Oakland Park Boulevard section feature typical 1960s-70s construction that benefits from systematic modernization. Popular projects include impact window replacement, kitchen and bathroom remodels, and exterior painting with proper surface preparation.

What Lauderhill Homeowners Say

Barbara G.

Our Inverrary condo hadn't been updated since the 1970s. Royal Builders transformed the entire unit — new kitchen, both bathrooms, all flooring, and fresh paint — while handling all the association paperwork. The difference is like night and day. It feels like a completely new home.

Thomas & Marie J.

We replaced all the old jalousie windows in our Lauderhill home with impact glass. Royal Builders gave us a fair price, handled the permits, and finished the whole house in two days. Our insurance company saved us almost $900 a year, and the noise reduction from NW 44th Street traffic is incredible.

George R.

Royal Builders understood that our budget was important. They helped us prioritize — roof and windows first for protection and insurance savings, then kitchen next year. No pressure to do everything at once. Just honest advice from a local contractor.

Frequently Asked Questions — Lauderhill Remodeling

My Lauderhill home was built in the 1960s. Is it worth renovating?
Absolutely. Lauderhill's 1960s-era homes have solid CBS (concrete block and stucco) construction that provides excellent structural bones. The systems and finishes need updating after 60 years, but the structure itself is built to last. A comprehensive renovation — impact windows, updated kitchen and bathrooms, new roof, and fresh finishes — can transform a dated 1960s home into a comfortable, efficient, and storm-hardened residence at a fraction of the cost of new construction.
Can you renovate my Inverrary condo?
Yes. Inverrary condos are one of our most frequent project types. We're familiar with the different building types across Inverrary's phases, the association approval processes, work-hour policies, and the specific requirements for renovation in each section. Whether you need a kitchen update, bathroom renovation, flooring replacement, or a full condo gut renovation, we handle everything including association paperwork.
How much does it cost to renovate a Lauderhill condo?
A full condo renovation in Lauderhill — including kitchen remodel, bathroom renovation, new flooring, and interior painting — typically ranges from $25,000 to $65,000 depending on the unit size, scope, and finish selections. Individual projects like a kitchen remodel run $18,000-$55,000 and a bathroom remodel $10,000-$30,000. We offer material selections at multiple price points to match your budget.
Should I replace my jalousie windows in Lauderhill?
Yes. Jalousie (louver) windows provide virtually no hurricane protection, are extremely energy-inefficient, and allow significant noise penetration. Replacing them with impact-rated windows is the highest-priority upgrade for any Lauderhill home that still has them. Impact windows provide permanent storm protection, reduce energy bills by 15-25%, dramatically reduce outside noise, and qualify most homeowners for substantial insurance premium reductions.
What is the best order to renovate a dated Lauderhill home?
We recommend this priority sequence for older Lauderhill homes: (1) Impact windows and doors — safety, energy savings, and insurance reduction. (2) Roof replacement if needed — protects the entire structure. (3) Kitchen remodel — highest daily-use impact and resale value. (4) Bathroom updates. (5) Flooring and paint. This sequence addresses safety first, then maximizes livability improvements. We offer bundled pricing for multi-project renovations.
How long does a kitchen remodel take in Lauderhill?
A typical Lauderhill kitchen remodel takes 4-7 weeks from demolition to completion, depending on scope. Older homes may require additional time if we discover plumbing or electrical issues behind walls that need updating to current code. Broward County permits add 1-3 weeks, and we begin material procurement during the permit period to minimize the overall timeline.
Do you help Lauderhill homeowners with insurance wind mitigation?
Yes. After completing storm-hardening improvements — impact windows, roof upgrades, hurricane straps — we coordinate with licensed wind mitigation inspectors who assess your home and issue the inspection report your insurance company needs to apply premium credits. Many Lauderhill homeowners save $500-$1,500 or more per year on insurance after proper storm hardening.
