Remodeling Company in Oakland Park, FL
Oakland Park remodeling jobs run into the same wall every time: 1950s and 60s concrete block homes with original cast iron plumbing and shallow roof pitches that were never built for modern hurricane codes. A bathroom remodel here usually means repiping before you can tile, and a kitchen renovation doesn’t get far before we’re chasing a slab leak under the original floor. Sawyer Remodeling handles the whole job, not just the surface. Call (754) 354-7423 and we’ll walk your Oakland Park home before we quote a dollar.
Why Oakland Park Homes Are Different
Oakland Park is dense with single-story CBS cottages built between 1950 and 1975, and the post-war building rush left a few patterns we see on nearly every job. Original cast iron drain lines are at the end of their life. Slab-on-grade foundations mean a repipe means cutting concrete, not opening a crawlspace. And the shallow roof pitches builders used in the 50s and 60s weren’t designed for the wind uplift requirements in today’s Florida Building Code, so a simple renovation often pulls a structural upgrade into scope.
East of Dixie Highway, homeowners of the original two-bedroom/one-bath cabins regularly discover unpermitted additions from decades back. A closed-in carport or tacked-on sunroom was built without permits, and once we pull a permit for new work, the city’s inspectors flag the old work too. That’s not a surprise we spring on you mid-job. It’s part of the walkthrough, before the written price.
The salty air off the Intracoastal accelerates corrosion on metal fasteners, rebar, and window frames. South Florida sun cooks roof underlayment. High humidity feeds mold inside walls that never dried out. Oakland Park is not a place where you can skip waterproofing or grab the cheapest flashing and expect it to hold.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Oakland Park Services
Most Oakland Park homeowners call us for one of three jobs. Each has its own dedicated page with pricing, process, and what the work actually involves here.
General Contractor in Oakland Park
Oakland Park’s original floor plans were tight, and most homeowners want walls moved, additions tied in, or unpermitted work corrected before they list or refinance. As your General Contractor in Oakland Park, we coordinate the full scope: demo, structural, plumbing, electrical, drywall, tile, finishes. For a 1958 CBS cottage east of Dixie, that often starts with surveying what’s already there and comparing it against city records. We pull the permits, schedule the inspections, and keep you in the loop with photo updates so you’re not guessing what happened during the day.
Bathroom Remodeling in Oakland Park
A 1960s Oakland Park bathroom usually has cast iron drains, a tub set into a slab, and tile laid over mud that hasn’t moved in sixty years. Our Bathroom Remodeling in Oakland Park work starts with what’s under the floor, not the color of the tile. We handle repiping, waterproofing to current code, Schluter edge trim where tile meets the floor, and rebuilds that hold up against Florida humidity. Whether you want a walk-in shower, a tub-to-shower conversion, or a full gut, the written price comes before we swing a hammer.
Home Renovation in Oakland Park
Full Home Renovation in Oakland Park projects mean working with what a 1950s build gives you: concrete block walls, shallow roof lines, and floor plans that don’t match how people live now. We open kitchens, add square footage, replace windows and doors, and correct the code issues that old unpermitted work left behind. Because so many Oakland Park homes sit on slabs, we check for slab leaks early and plan the sequencing so you’re not living around an open trench longer than necessary.

Oakland Park pricing gets pushed upward by slab work, repiping, and hurricane-code corrections on older CBS homes. A mid-century cottage that looks clean on the surface can hide cast iron that’s eaten through. Every project gets a written price before work starts, and the number on the invoice is the number you approved.

FAQs About Remodeling Company in Oakland Park
Most estimates in Oakland Park are scheduled within a few days, and we confirm a live arrival time before we come out. Permitting is the biggest variable. Oakland Park’s building department review times fluctuate with volume, and older homes with unpermitted additions can add inspection steps. Call (754) 354-7423 for a current timeline for your street.
Yes. We pull all necessary permits, schedule inspections, and handle corrections if old unpermitted work shows up in city records. Oakland Park inspectors routinely flag past work on 1950s and 60s homes once new work opens a wall, so that’s planned for in the written price, not sprung on you later.
We find that on a large share of Oakland Park remodels before the project starts. Our walkthrough includes checking water pressure, looking for signs of slab movement, and reviewing what the original 1960s plumbing layout likely looks like.
