About Remodeling in Fort Lauderdale
Fort Lauderdale is Broward County's largest market Goodhaus serves, with 101,691 housing units by Census estimates, and it is split between condominium towers and mid-century houses. 38% of units are in buildings of 20 or more units and 26% of owner-occupied homes are in those buildings, while 34% of units are detached houses. The 1950s, 1960s and 1970s each account for about a fifth of the housing, for a median year built of 1973. Goodhaus is not a contractor: it is a free way to reach independent contractors, who should each be checked before hiring.

Local Background
Good to Know About Fort Lauderdale
General background about the area, for information only. It is not professional advice.
Condo towers
28% of units are in buildings of 50 or more units; under Florida's condominium statute, material alterations of the common elements need the declaration's procedure, or a 75 percent vote of the voting interests if it sets none.
Mid-century houses
65% of units were built before 1980, and the federal EPA rule requires anyone paid to disturb painted surfaces in a home built before 1978 to be certified in lead-safe work practices.
Hurricane zone county
Fort Lauderdale is in Broward County, which the Florida Building Code defines, together with Miami-Dade, as the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone.
Ideas & Inspiration
Remodeling Ideas to Consider in Fort Lauderdale
General ideas for inspiration only. These are not projects performed by Goodhaus, which is a free matching service and not a contractor.
Tower kitchen and bath renovations
Same-footprint renovations suit high-rise units, where risers, building hours and elevator use shape the schedule.
1950s and 1960s house remodels
Opening closed kitchens, updating baths and replacing older plumbing and wiring often come together.
Additions on house lots
A rear addition starts with the setbacks, the flood status of the lot and the city's review; check all three before design.

Questions
Fort Lauderdale FAQs
What does a Fort Lauderdale condo association usually need before a remodel?
Ask for the alteration application, the insurance certificates required of contractors, the work hours and any rules on plumbing, flooring and windows.
Can a contractor stop work after taking a large deposit?
A Florida contractor who receives more than 10 percent of the price as an initial payment must apply for permits within 30 days and start work within 90 days after they are issued, unless you agreed otherwise in writing.
Do I need a permit for a kitchen or bath remodel?
Florida law makes it unlawful to alter or repair a building without a permit unless another law exempts the work, so ask the contractor which permits apply.
