AfterConstruction in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea, FL
Roofing in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea runs $400-$20,000 depending on scope, with most repairs falling under $1,800 and full replacements between $8,000-$20,000. The town’s concentration of 1950s-1970s CBS structures, many originally built as beachfront motels and later converted to condos, creates a rehabilitation-first market where structural hardening to current High Velocity Hurricane Zone codes dominates over new construction. We quote every roofing, window, fence, and paver job with a flat written price before work begins - call (754) 714-6540 to schedule your free estimate.
Why Lauderdale-by-the-Sea Homes Are Different
Lauderdale-by-the-Sea’s strict 35-foot building height ordinance has frozen the town as a concentration of low-rise CBS motels, duplexes, and small condos sitting directly on the Atlantic in Broward County’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone. Unlike the high-rise development a mile south in Fort Lauderdale, construction here is dominated by the renovation and structural hardening of aging inventory to current HVHZ wind codes and FEMA flood-elevation requirements.
The housing stock is overwhelmingly 1-3 story CBS and stucco from the 1950s through 1970s, many originally small beachfront motels or vacation rentals later converted to condos or long-term rentals. These pre-code buildings commonly lack modern hurricane straps at roof-to-wall connections, have aging flat or low-slope built-up roofs, and were constructed before current flood-elevation baselines - creating constant demand for structural retrofitting, roof replacement, and foundation remediation.
As a narrow barrier island flanked by the Atlantic and the Intracoastal Waterway, Lauderdale-by-the-Sea experiences aggressive salt-air corrosion that accelerates rebar oxidation and concrete spalling in older CBS walls, corrodes metal fasteners and roof-deck clips, and degrades rooftop HVAC and electrical equipment faster than inland communities. Every permitted project must comply with Broward County’s HVHZ standards, adding mandatory impact-rated assemblies and third-party inspections to even modest renovation scopes. The town’s protected nearshore reef system also makes code enforcement unusually attentive to construction-site stormwater runoff and debris containment on oceanfront and seawall projects.
Our Main Lauderdale-by-the-Sea Services
While roofing and exterior work make up most of our calls in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea, we also deliver full interior renovations with the same written-price discipline.
Kitchen Remodeling in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea
Kitchen remodeling in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea means working within the tight footprints of converted motel units and small condos where every inch of cabinetry and counter space matters. We regularly install KraftMaid and Wellborn cabinets with Cambria or Caesarstone countertops in galley layouts originally designed for short-term guests, not home cooks. Our crews document the existing substrate - often original CBS with added furring strips - before quoting, so the written price accounts for wall conditions rather than surprises.

Bathroom Remodeling in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea
Bathroom remodeling in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea addresses the same compact dimensions and aging plumbing common to the town’s converted vacation-rental stock. We replace original cast-iron drains, install Kohler and Toto fixtures, and waterproof to current Florida Building Code standards in spaces that were never designed for daily residential use. Every quote includes a documented photo record of the existing conditions - the tile membrane, the subfloor, the vent stack - before demolition begins. Bathroom Remodeling in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea
Home Additions & ADU in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea
Home additions and ADU construction in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea operate under the town’s unique 35-foot height limit and strict lot-coverage rules, making horizontal expansion more viable than vertical. We engineer to FEMA flood-elevation requirements and HVHZ wind-load standards from the first drawing, with permits and third-party inspections built into the timeline. The written price includes all structural connections to the existing CBS walls, which often require rebar extension and concrete pinning to meet current code.

AfterRoofing in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea
Roofing in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea is defined by salt-air corrosion, aging flat and low-slope built-up roofs on 1950s-1970s CBS structures, and the mandatory HVHZ compliance that makes even a simple repair a code-regulated operation. Most of the town’s original motel and duplex stock was built before modern hurricane straps and impact-rated assemblies, so every roofing project we take on - from a minor leak repair to a full replacement - includes an assessment of the roof-to-wall connection and the deck substrate. Our Roofing crews carry GAF and Owens Corning systems specified for coastal exposure, and every visit produces a documented photo record of what we found and what we did.
Roof Repair
Signs you need it
Water stains on ceiling drywall, granule loss visible in gutters or on the ground, and lifted or cracked membrane seams on flat sections are the three most common indicators we document in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea.
What it costs in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea
Roof repair in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea typically runs $400-$1,800, with tile roof repair specifically falling between $600-$2,500 depending on whether the underlayment and battens also need replacement.
How we do it
We photograph the full roof surface, mark each deficiency on a diagram, replace damaged shingles or membrane sections, and reseal all penetrations with HVHZ-rated sealant before the final inspection photo set.
Roof Replacement & Installation
Signs you need it
Multiple active leaks, visible daylight through the deck from the attic, and asphalt shingles past 20 years or flat membranes past 15 years in this salt-air environment mean replacement is usually more economical than continued patching.
What it costs in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea
Roof replacement in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea ranges from $8,000-$20,000 for standard asphalt or flat systems, while metal roof installation runs $15,000-$40,000 depending on gauge and finish.
How we do it
We strip to the deck, replace compromised plywood, install HVHZ-rated underlayment and hurricane straps at all roof-to-wall connections, then apply the new system with third-party inspection at dry-in and final.
What Roofing Costs in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea
| Item | Typical range in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea |
|---|---|
| Roof Repair | $400 - $1,800 |
| Roof Replacement | $8,000 - $20,000 |
| Metal Roof Installation | $15,000 - $40,000 |
How long does a roof replacement take in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea?
Most residential roof replacements in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea take 3-5 working days, with an additional 1-2 days for HVHZ third-party inspection scheduling. Call (754) 714-6540 for a written timeline with your estimate.
Do I need to replace my whole roof if only part is leaking?
Not necessarily - localized leaks on roofs under 15 years old often qualify for section repair at $400-$1,800, but we document the full deck condition before quoting so you know if adjacent sections are nearing failure. Call (754) 714-6540 for an exact quote - estimates are free.
Windows & Doors in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea
Windows and doors in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea must withstand HVHZ wind loads and salt-air corrosion while replacing original aluminum single-pane units installed in the 1960s and 1970s motel conversions. The town’s pre-code buildings rarely have proper sill pan flashing or impact-rated glass, so every replacement we quote includes an assessment of the rough opening condition and the wall’s ability to accept a modern, code-compliant assembly. Our Windows & Doors crews install ViewLux impact-rated systems with documented photo records of the existing rot, corrosion, or missing flashing before the new unit goes in.
Window Replacement
Signs you need it
Condensation between double-pane glass, corroded aluminum frames with white oxidation streaks on stucco, and windows that rattle or leak during normal thunderstorms indicate the original units have failed.
What it costs in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea
Window replacement in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea typically runs $4,500-$15,000 for a full-home project, while impact window installation specifically ranges from $8,000-$25,000 depending on opening count and HVHZ rating required.
How we do it
We remove the existing sash and frame, inspect the rough opening for wood rot or concrete spalling, install a new sill pan with end dams, then set the replacement unit with structural adhesive and HVHZ-approved fasteners before sealing with backer rod and polyurethane.
Impact Windows & Doors
Signs you need it
Insurance requirements, post-storm damage assessments, or simply the absence of impact-rated labels on existing glass mean your openings do not meet current Broward County HVHZ standards for new installation or major renovation.
What it costs in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea
Impact window installation in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea ranges from $8,000-$25,000 for a typical 1,200-square-foot condo or duplex, with sliding glass door replacements at the higher end due to size and hardware.
How we do it
We verify the wind-borne debris rating for each opening, engineer the attachment to CBS or wood frame per the HVHZ tables, install laminated impact glass in reinforced frames, and schedule third-party inspection before final trim.
What Windows & Doors Costs in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea
| Item | Typical range in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea |
|---|---|
| Window Replacement | $4,500 - $15,000 |
| Impact Window Installation | $8,000 - $25,000 |
Do I need impact windows or just shutters in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea?
Impact windows are required for all new installations and full replacements in Broward County’s HVHZ; shutters alone do not satisfy code for permitted window work. Call (754) 714-6540 to review your specific openings.
How long do impact windows last in the salt air?
Quality impact windows with marine-grade hardware last 20-25 years in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea’s environment, though we inspect frame weep holes and sealant every 5 years to prevent salt buildup. Call (754) 714-6540 for an exact quote - estimates are free.
Fence Installation in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea
Fence installation in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea must account for salt-air corrosion, sandy soils with poor lateral stability, and the town’s strict attention to stormwater containment on oceanfront and seawall-adjacent properties. Most of the housing stock sits on narrow lots with zero lot-line conditions, so fence placement often requires survey verification and neighbor notification. Our Fence Installation crews install Master Halco and Ameristar systems with marine-grade fasteners and concrete footings engineered for the local soil, with a documented photo record of the post-hole depth and drainage slope before backfill.
Vinyl Fence
Signs you need it
Original wood fences are splintering, rusting at the fasteners, or leaning due to rot at the post base, and you want a maintenance-free perimeter that does not require staining in salt air.
What it costs in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea
Vinyl fence installation in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea typically runs $3,500-$9,000 depending on height, rail count, and whether the posts require concrete piers due to sandy soil conditions.
How we do it
We locate utilities, set posts in concrete piers 30 inches deep with troweled drainage slope, hang vinyl panels with stainless steel brackets, and cap all posts to prevent water intrusion before the final photo documentation.
Aluminum Fence
Signs you need it
You need a decorative pool enclosure or property boundary with open sight lines, and the original wrought iron has corroded through at the base or no longer meets current pool-barrier height and latch requirements.
What it costs in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea
Aluminum fence installation in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea ranges from $4,000-$10,000, with pool enclosures at the higher end due to self-closing gate hardware and the additional picket density required by code.
How we do it
We powder-coat all aluminum components before delivery, set posts in concrete with post-level verification, attach panels with concealed stainless fasteners, and install pool-code gates with magnetic latches before inspection.
What Fence Installation Costs in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea
| Item | Typical range in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea |
|---|---|
| Vinyl Fence Installation | $3,500 - $9,000 |
| Aluminum Fence Installation | $4,000 - $10,000 |
Do I need a permit to replace my fence in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea?
Yes - all fence installation and replacement in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea requires a Broward County permit with a site plan showing setbacks and, on oceanfront lots, a stormwater control plan. Call (754) 714-6540 and we will pull the permit as part of your written quote.
How deep do fence posts need to go in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea’s sandy soil?
We set fence posts 30 inches deep in concrete piers with troweled drainage crowns; sandy soils lack the lateral stability of clay, so shallow posts lean within two seasons. Call (754) 714-6540 for an exact quote - estimates are free.
Driveway & Pavers in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea
Driveway and paver work in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea faces porous sandy subgrades, tidal groundwater within a few feet of the surface, and the town’s environmental scrutiny of construction runoff near the protected nearshore reef. Original driveways on the 1950s-1970s motel and duplex stock are often thin, cracked concrete or crumbling asphalt over unstabilized sand, with no proper base course or edge restraint. Our Driveway & Pavers crews install Belgard and Techo-Bloc paver systems with geotextile separation, compacted limestone base, and permeable joints where required, with photo documentation of the excavation depth and drainage profile before any material goes in.
Paver Driveways
Signs you need it
Your existing driveway has settled into ruts, the surface channels water toward the foundation, or the thin concrete has cracked through to the sandy subgrade with vegetation growing in the gaps.
What it costs in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea
Paver driveway installation in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea typically runs $7,000-$18,000 depending on square footage, pattern complexity, and whether we need to install a French drain or permeable base for tidal groundwater management.
How we do it
We excavate to 10-12 inches, lay geotextile over sandy subgrade, install and compact limestone base in lifts, screed bedding sand, lay Belgard or Techo-Bloc pavers to pattern, cut borders with a wet saw, and vibrate in polymeric joint sand with edge restraint anchored in concrete.
Concrete Driveways & Concrete Work
Signs you need it
The existing concrete driveway has widespread cracking with vertical displacement, surface spalling from salt exposure, or ponding that indicates the original pour had no proper slope or control joints.
What it costs in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea
Concrete driveway installation in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea ranges from $4,500-$12,000, while driveway replacement specifically - removing the failed slab and installing new - runs $5,000-$14,000 depending on reinforcement and finish.
How we do it
We break and haul the existing slab, verify subgrade compaction with a plate compactor, install welded wire mesh or rebar as specified, pour 4,000 PSI concrete with air entrainment for salt exposure, strike and broom finish, and saw-cut control joints within 24 hours.
What Driveway & Pavers Costs in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea
| Item | Typical range in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea |
|---|---|
| Paver Driveway Installation | $7,000 - $18,000 |
| Concrete Driveway Installation | $4,500 - $12,000 |
| Driveway Replacement | $5,000 - $14,000 |
Do pavers hold up in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea’s sandy soil and salt air?
Yes - when installed with proper base, edge restraint, and polymeric joint sand, Belgard and Techo-Bloc pavers outperform concrete in sandy soils because the segmental surface accommodates minor settlement without cracking. Call (754) 714-6540 for a written quote on your specific driveway.
How long before I can drive on a new paver driveway?
We ask homeowners to wait 48-72 hours after polymeric sand activation before regular vehicle traffic; the sand needs to cure fully in the joints to prevent washout. Call (754) 714-6540 for an exact quote - estimates are free.
