I don’t usually write reviews, but I had to for this. I’m absolutely in love with my new kitchen! The team was professional, easy to work with, and really listened to what I wanted. Everything came out even better than I imagined, and the quality is amazing you can tell they really care about their work. They stayed on schedule and made the whole process smooth and stress-free, which means a lot during a remodel. I’m so happy I chose them. Highly recommend!

What We Take On, and What We Don't
We handle full remodels and new construction only. No small jobs.
- Full kitchen remodel — complete gut and rebuild
- Full bathroom remodel — complete gut and rebuild
- Full home renovation — whole-home gut, multi-room remodel, or condo gut
- New construction — ground-up custom homes
- Home addition — room addition, second-story, garage conversion, ADU
We don't take on partial cosmetic refreshes, single-fixture replacements, vanity swaps, drywall patching, fan installs, gutter cleaning, exterior painting standalone, or any handyman scope. Hollywood homeowners with a single tile crack or a leaky faucet will get faster, cheaper service from a handyman than from a CGC. We say no early, on the first call, so the wrong-fit visit doesn't waste anyone's day.
If your project is a full kitchen, full bathroom, full home, addition, or new construction — that's our entire focus.
Hollywood, Florida — What Makes the Local Market Different

Permit jurisdiction.
Hollywood is one of the larger Broward municipalities that runs its own building department rather than routing every permit through Broward County Building Code Services. The City of Hollywood Building Division sits inside Development Services at City Hall, 2600 Hollywood Boulevard, and works the Florida Building Code 8th Edition (2023) plus city amendments. When a permit applies (and on a full kitchen or bathroom remodel it usually does), submittals go through the city's Accela portal and the ePermitsOneStop system, which lets the same application clear both Hollywood and the Broward County permit reviews (environmental, elevator, sewer-capacity) without driving to Plantation. Residential plan review typically lands in 7–14 business days; the statutory ceiling is 30 working days. Inspections requested by 6 PM Monday through Thursday usually post the next business day. We've handled this exact workflow on Broward municipal projects since 2015, and the kitchen and bathroom permit packages we submit follow Hollywood's published checklist line by line, including the Notice of Commencement requirement once a job's value passes the $2,500 threshold.
Neighborhoods and housing stock.
Hollywood spans roughly 36 square miles of genuinely different markets, and the right remodeling approach changes block by block. Hollywood Beach (zip 33019) is the oceanfront condo corridor: mid- and high-rise towers along the A1A and Hollywood Beach Broadwalk where median listings hold near $599,000 and salt-air-resistant assemblies are the baseline expectation. Young Circle and the Arts & Culture District anchor downtown Hollywood, where Craftsman and Mediterranean Revival single-family homes from the 1920s through 1940s have been getting creative-class renovation attention; buyers there value updates that respect period detail (open kitchens that keep architectural lines, hex-tile bathrooms, custom built-ins). Hollywood Hills, Boulevard Heights, and Emerald Hills carry the inland single-family stock, 1950s through 1980s ranch and split-level homes with original aluminum sliders, original galvanized supply lines, and original electrical panels that are now well past replacement age. Hollywood Lakes Section runs along the Intracoastal with larger-lot single-family that sits in flood zones AE and VE. The Boulevard Heights and Hollywood Hills inland zips (33020, 33021) hold median listings in the $350,000 to $425,000 band, meaningfully different scope-and-budget territory than the beach corridor a few miles east.
Regulatory layer — HVHZ, FEMA, salt-air, and SB 4-D.
Hollywood sits inside Broward County's High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, which means any window or sliding-door replacement on the building envelope needs assemblies with a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance (NOA) covering HVHZ test protocols. That's why a serious hollywood fl window replacement contractor conversation always starts with NOA documentation, not just glass thickness. The city checks NOA paperwork as part of the permit review, and a wrong NOA at submittal pushes the schedule. On Hollywood Beach and along the Intracoastal, FEMA's substantial improvement rule kicks in when the cumulative remodel cost exceeds 50% of the structure's pre-improvement market value: the entire structure has to be brought up to current flood code, which on Zone VE oceanfront can mean foundation elevation work that was not in the original budget. Most condo-unit interior remodels stay well below the SI threshold; whole-tower work and ground-floor renovations sometimes don't. For oceanfront condo associations, Florida Senate Bill 4-D milestone inspection requirements are now the backdrop on any unit-level renovation in a building over 30 years old or three stories tall. Board approval timelines have lengthened, and freight-elevator and material-staging windows are tighter than they were five years ago. We flag all of this on the first walkthrough so the budget and the schedule reflect what the regulatory layer actually requires, not what they would require somewhere else.
Demolition and lead-paint considerations on older inland stock.
A full gut of a 1940s Young Circle Craftsman or a 1950s Hollywood Hills ranch starts with demolition that pre-1978 paint conditions sometimes complicate under the EPA Renovation, Repair and Painting (RRP) rule. Hollywood has a recognized cluster of demolition contractors hollywood fl serving the older-stock zips, but on a full-scope gut we run demo in-house through licensed crews so the lead-safe protocols stay tied to the same project file as the rebuild. The Building Division coordinates the demo permit with the rebuild permit on a single Accela record when scope permits.

Service Bands in Hollywood
Full kitchen remodel — our most-requested project in Hollywood

Kitchen work is the volume center of kitchen remodeling hollywood fl demand, and the housing stock makes kitchen scope the right entry point on most projects we run here. A 1970s Hollywood Hills galley kitchen with original cabinets, a Hollywood Beach condo with a closed-off mid-century layout, and a Young Circle Craftsman with original wood floors and a single window over the sink are three different kitchen problems that share the same answer: full gut, structural review of any wall coming out, electrical panel evaluation, plumbing rough-in for the new layout, and finish selection at the tier the budget supports. Our full kitchen tentpole walks through the four tier bands from $20K to $300K-plus, with examples in each tier and a section on the four cost drivers that explain the spread (scope depth, finish tier, HVHZ envelope work, FEMA SI on flood-zone properties). On a Hollywood project we usually scope 8 to 16 weeks of construction once permits land. As a kitchen contractor in Hollywood FL operating under a single CGC license, we keep cabinet, countertop, tile, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC coordination on one project file — homeowners don't manage trades, we do. Most kitchen remodeling contractors hollywood fl homeowners interview run the trades through subcontractor chains; we run them through our own crew. Design references and trade-standards work for our kitchen and bathroom builds align with the NKBA South Florida chapter on layout, dimension, and storage discipline.
Bathroom remodeling hollywood fl — full bathroom remodel
A bathroom remodel hollywood fl is the single search phrase on this page with the deepest local-pack signal: it's the natural query for both Hollywood Beach condo owners replacing 1990s salt-corroded shower glass and inland single-family homeowners replacing original tile-on-mortar pans that have been failing since the early 2010s. The full bathroom remodeling tentpole lays out the four tier bands from $8K to $130K-plus and walks the work that earns each tier: Schluter-Kerdi waterproofing systems, frameless glass enclosures, slab-tile installation, primary suite reconfigurations that move walls, and salt-air-resistant fixture selection on oceanfront stock. Bathroom projects on coastal condos typically run 4 to 8 weeks; inland Hollywood single-family projects with plumbing rough-in changes can stretch to 10. Our crews handle every step in-house, from demo through final tile grout and fixture trim. Bathroom remodeling in hollywood fl on flood-zone properties also gets a quick FEMA-SI math check before scope is finalized. Most unit renovations stay clear of the threshold, but it's worth verifying before a contract is signed.
Full home renovation — whole-home gut, multi-room, condo gut
For the larger-lot Hollywood Lakes Section single-family stock, the Hollywood Hills inland market, and oceanfront condo gut renovations, the home remodeling parent walks the whole-home pricing structure: $150 to $400 per square foot, $200K to $1.5M-plus typical, with most Broward whole-home projects landing in the $400K to $800K range. Schedule typically runs 9 to 18 months depending on whether HVHZ envelope work or FEMA substantial improvement compliance is in scope. Condo gut renovations on Hollywood Beach run $300K to $1M-plus and depend on board approval and freight-elevator scheduling.
New construction
Hollywood new construction is real but uncommon in our pipeline. Most opportunities are infill lots in the Hollywood Lakes Section or rebuilds after teardowns on inland single-family streets. The new construction page covers our ground-up residential approach: HVHZ-rated envelope, FEMA flood-zone determination at the start of design, structural engineering and stamped drawings on every set, and a single CGC running the project from clearing through final inspection.
Home additions
Room additions, second-story builds, garage conversions, and ADUs come up most often on the inland Hollywood Hills and Boulevard Heights stock where original 1,400-square-foot ranches no longer match how families actually live. The home additions page walks engineered foundations, the separate permit class additions trigger, and the typical scope-and-schedule bands for each addition type.

Hollywood Expertise FAQs
How long does a remodeling permit take in Hollywood?
Residential plan review at the City of Hollywood Building Division typically runs 7 to 14 business days, with a statutory ceiling of 30 working days. The ePermitsOneStop integration with Broward County clears environmental, elevator, and sewer-capacity reviews in parallel, so most projects don't see permit time as the schedule bottleneck. Larger scope and any envelope work that requires NOA documentation review can push toward the upper end of the range.
Does Hollywood require impact windows under HVHZ?
Yes. Hollywood is inside the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, and the Florida Building Code 8th Edition requires impact-rated assemblies on the building envelope. Any window or sliding-door replacement needs an assembly with a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance (NOA) covering HVHZ test protocols. That applies whether the property is a Hollywood Beach condo or a Boulevard Heights inland single-family.
What if my Hollywood property is in a flood zone?
Hollywood Beach, Hollywood Lakes Section, and the easternmost Intracoastal edge sit in FEMA Zone AE or Zone VE. The relevant question on flood-zone property is FEMA's substantial improvement rule: if the cumulative remodel cost exceeds 50% of the structure's pre-improvement market value, full flood-code upgrade is triggered, which on Zone VE oceanfront can include foundation elevation. Most condo-unit interior remodels stay well below the SI threshold. We run the math on the first walkthrough and put it in the written scope notes before any contract is drafted.
Do you work in Hollywood Beach condo towers?
Yes. Hollywood Beach is one of our most active corridors. Condo work runs through the building's renovation approval process, including board sign-off, freight-elevator scheduling, and material-staging windows. SB 4-D milestone inspection considerations are now standard backdrop on any tower over 30 years old or three stories tall, and we coordinate unit-level work with whatever the building's milestone status currently is.
Do you take on smaller jobs like a single bathroom vanity swap?
No. We handle full kitchen, full bathroom, whole-home, additions, and new construction only. A single vanity swap, a fan install, drywall patching, or any handyman scope is faster and cheaper through a handyman or single-trade contractor. Saying no early keeps the wrong-fit project from wasting anyone's day.
Do you serve Hollywood Hills, Boulevard Heights, Hollywood Lakes Section, and Emerald Hills?
Yes — all of them. Project scope changes block by block (the inland single-family work is different from the oceanfront condo work) but the license, the team, and the scope discipline are the same.
