Fast, Reliable Home Renovation Across Broadview Park
Home renovation in Broadview Park runs $45,000 to $130,000 for a full addition, $90,000 to $220,000 for an ADU, and $30,000 to $80,000 for a garage conversion, with the biggest wildcard being Broward County permitting timelines and what you hit when you start digging. We work in Broadview Park every week, and we know what those 1950s-through-1970s CBS ranchers and wood-frame houses hide behind the drywall: corroded galvanized supply lines, outdated panels, and septic drain fields that were never drawn on any map you’ll actually find. If you’re planning a Home Renovation on your property, you need a contractor who knows the difference between a county inspection and a city one, and who writes a price before the first tool comes off the truck. Call (754) 354-7423 for a straight answer on your project.
Why Sawyer Remodel Fort Lauderdale Is Broadview Park’s Preferred Home Renovation Company
We’re not a sales team. We’re a crew led by Luca Romano, and we’ve spent enough days in Broadview Park to know that every renovation here starts with two questions: what’s underground, and how long will the county take. Homeowners along SW 40th Avenue, SW 18th Street, and near Peters Road call us because we answer those questions before we quote, not after we open a wall. We check septic tank locations, well setbacks, and the county permit queue as part of the estimate. That’s the difference between a contractor who hands you a low number and one who hands you a real one.
Every Broadview Park job runs under The Relay Visibility Guarantee: a written price before work starts, a live arrival time so you’re not burning a morning waiting, and photo updates before and after each phase. Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed, so you know exactly who’s walking onto your property. And our 365-Day Done Right Promise is in writing on every job – if something isn’t done right, we make it right within a full year of close-out.
We coordinate from our South Florida metro office and dispatch crews directly into Broadview Park. That means fast scheduling without a storefront on State Road 7 pretending to be local.
Styles & brands we work with
Whole House Renovation in Broadview Park
Whole house renovation in Broadview Park means reworking a 1,200 to 2,200 square foot house that was built before hurricane codes tightened, before PEX was a thing, and before anyone thought about flood elevation. You need this when the kitchen, both bathrooms, the electrical panel, and the plumbing are all original, and you’re trying to decide whether to move or rebuild in place. A whole house renovation here typically runs $45,000 to $130,000 depending on scope, square footage, and what we find in the walls and under the slab. The first thing we do is map the property: septic tank, drain field, well casing, and the county’s digital parcel records if they exist. Then we write a scope that accounts for what’s actually there, not what a 1962 permit drawing says should be there.
Renovating on Acreage
Broadview Park lots run bigger than Fort Lauderdale or Plantation parcels, and that’s both a blessing and a cost driver. Material hauls are longer, equipment access is easier, but county setbacks for septic and well systems dictate where an addition or ADU can legally sit. We check those before you fall in love with a footprint.
Outbuildings, Shops, and Detached ADUs
Plenty of Broadview Park properties have a detached CBS shop or a carport that could become living space. Converting one means meeting current county flood elevation and electrical service requirements, which often means a panel upgrade and sometimes a new service drop. We scope that work up front so the number you approve is the number you pay.
Home Renovation Contractors in Broadview Park
Home Renovation Contractors in Broadview Park operate under Broward County’s Building Code Division, and that changes everything about scheduling. County inspectors cover a huge territory and route multiple stops per day, so a rough-in inspection that might take two business days in Fort Lauderdale can take two weeks here. A good contractor plans the work order around that reality instead of letting the schedule fall apart mid-project. A typical renovation contract in Broadview Park runs $45,000 to $220,000 depending on whether you’re adding a room, building an ADU, or converting a garage. The permit timeline is part of the quote, not a surprise at week six.
Permit Pulling and the County Queue
We pull every permit, schedule every inspection, and build the county review time into the project calendar. When the inspector shows up, we’re on site with the work open and ready, because a failed inspection in Broadview Park doesn’t cost you days – it costs you weeks. That’s the reality of unincorporated Broward, and we plan for it.
Working Around Well and Septic Infrastructure
Before we dig for footings or a pool shell, we locate the septic tank and drain field with a private locate crew. County records from the 1960s are often wrong or missing entirely, and hitting a drain field with an excavator is a five-figure mistake. We also test the well for flow and pressure if you’re renovating bathrooms or adding a second kitchen, because a 55-year-old well with a tired pump will show up as weak pressure after the drywall goes up.
Trusted Brands We Service in Broadview Park
We install name-brand materials on every Broadview Park renovation and we stand behind the full system, not just the labor. For exterior work and roofing we lean on GAF and CertainTeed, and for interior finishes we specify Cambria, Silestone, and Caesarstone countertops, Kohler and Moen fixtures, and KraftMaid cabinetry. When a Broadview Park homeowner asks for a specific brand, we source it locally through our supplier network and confirm lead times before we write the final price. No mystery suppliers, no “comparable” substitutions. You pick the brand, we install it, and the manufacturer’s warranty backs the product while our 365-Day Done Right Promise backs the work.

AfterCommon Home Renovation Problems We See in Broadview Park Homes
- Clipping an undocumented septic drain field. The as-built drawing for a 1968 rancher off SW 42nd Avenue may exist on paper somewhere, but it rarely matches what’s actually underground. We hit a drain field on one addition dig, stopped immediately, and re-scoped the foundation layout around it – a $12,000 course correction that would have been a $40,000 remediation if we’d kept digging blind.
- Electrical panels bonded to a 1960s well casing without a proper ground rod. County inspectors fail this on rough-in every time. We verify grounding electrode systems before we re-feed any panel, because a re-inspection two weeks later costs more than the fix.
- Pouring a driveway or patio on the low side of the lot without a swale. Broadview Park’s high water table and poor soil drainage mean water has nowhere to go in a summer storm. We grade for positive drainage and, where the county requires it, add a swale or dry well so your new paver driveway doesn’t flood the neighbor’s side yard.
- Corroded galvanized supply lines that fail the moment you touch them. On a 1960s CBS rancher off SW 42nd Avenue, our crew opened a load-bearing wall for a kitchen addition and hit a 55-year-old galvanized line so corroded it crumbled at the thread. We wrote the change order before touching it, replaced the run with PEX, and coordinated with the owner’s well pump controller – all while the county rough-in sign-off was still two weeks out.

FAQs About Home Renovation in Broadview Park
Every permit in Broadview Park goes through Broward County’s Building Code Division, not a municipal office, which typically adds one to three weeks to the review and inspection timeline compared to a city-run process. County inspectors cover a huge territory and route multiple stops per day, so scheduling is less predictable and a failed inspection costs you real calendar time. We build that timeline into our project plan before you sign anything. Call (754) 354-7423 for a realistic schedule on your renovation.
The most expensive surprise is hitting an undocumented drain field during a dig for an addition, pool, or ADU foundation. Older Broadview Park properties often have drain fields that were never properly recorded on county as-builts, and an excavator can punch through a lateral line in seconds. We run a private septic locate before any ground disturbance – it costs a few hundred dollars and can save tens of thousands. Call (754) 354-7423 and we’ll include the locate in your free estimate.
Yes, especially if you’re adding bathrooms, a laundry suite, or a kitchen that will draw more water than the original 1960s system was designed for. We check the well pump, pressure tank, and flow rate as part of the renovation scope, and we verify the electrical grounding on the well casing before any panel work. A weak well will show up as low pressure the week after you finish, and that’s a separate repair you don’t want to discover then. Call (754) 354-7423 to schedule a well and pressure check alongside your renovation quote.
Broadview Park sits low with a high water table and poor drainage, so any conversion or ADU has to meet current county flood elevation standards. That often means raising the finished floor, adding fill, or installing a swale, and those costs are in the quote from day one, not tacked on after the county plan review. We also look at the finished-floor elevation relative to the neighbor’s yard, because water finds the low side. Call (754) 354-7423 and tell us what you want to build; we’ll check the flood zone before we give you a number.
The catch is that a detached CBS shop built in the 1960s was almost never permitted as living space, so the county treats the conversion as new construction. That means current flood elevation, electrical service sizing, septic load limits, and often a requirement for a separate address or entrance. We handle the whole conversion including the county paperwork, and we’ll tell you up front what meets code and what will fail plan review. For a free ADU feasibility check in Broadview Park, call (754) 354-7423.
Planning a renovation in Broadview Park means dealing with county permits, septic setbacks, an aging well, and a water table that doesn’t forgive mistakes. We know all of it. Call (754) 354-7423 to schedule your free estimate with Sawyer Remodel Fort Lauderdale – you’ll get a written price before any work starts, live arrival tracking, and a crew that shows up ready for what’s underground.
