AfterConstruction in Plantation, FL
Kitchen remodeling in Plantation typically runs $14,000 to $45,000 for a full renovation, and most of what drives that range comes from the city’s housing stock rather than the finishes. Nearly every home here is a CBS (concrete block structure) ranch built between roughly 1963 and 1990, which means original floor plans are compact, load-bearing walls are common, and the roof and windows often need attention at the same time the kitchen does. If you’re planning construction in Plantation, FL, call Rowan Construction Group at (470) 298-9650 and we’ll put a written price in front of you before anyone picks up a tool.
Why Plantation Homes Are Different
Plantation was master-planned and built out almost entirely between the 1960s and 1990s, producing a remarkably uniform stock of single-story CBS ranches on 8,000 to 12,000 square foot lots. That consistency cuts both ways. On one hand, our crews know exactly what they’ll find behind a kitchen wall or under a bathroom floor before the first cut. On the other, the same failure points repeat themselves across the city: original low-slope or flat roofs with deteriorated built-up or modified bitumen membranes, aluminum-frame single-pane windows that don’t meet current High-Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ) impact requirements, and undersized tie-beams that fall short of post-Hurricane Andrew uplift standards.
Two local conditions shape every job. First, Broward County’s seasonal high water table often sits just 2 to 4 feet below grade across Plantation, which means any ground-disturbing work needs a dewatering plan and waterproofing strategy that wouldn’t occur to a contractor working inland. Second, South Florida’s UV index and humidity degrade roofing membranes, sealants, and exterior coatings noticeably faster than manufacturer service-life estimates assume. And one more thing: Plantation enforces a tree canopy preservation ordinance with real teeth. Trees above a specified caliper on private property require a city permit, sometimes with a replacement or mitigation plan, before site clearing can begin. We factor that into the schedule from day one.
Our Main Plantation Services
Two trades come up most often when Plantation homeowners call us, and each has its own dedicated page with full pricing and local detail.
Fence Installation in Plantation
Fence work in Plantation runs into the same lot realities as any other trade: mature tree canopy, high water table, and CBS-and-slab construction that can make post-setting interesting. Most existing fences are wood or older aluminum, and the humidity here shortens the life of untreated posts and hardware. We quote vinyl fence installation in Plantation between $3,500 and $9,000, and aluminum between $4,000 and $10,000, depending on linear footage and gate count. Full detail is on the Fence Installation in Plantation page.
Driveway & Pavers in Plantation
Driveways here were poured when these homes were built, which means most are now approaching 40 to 60 years old: spalled surface, cracked control joints, and often no rebar. Paver driveway installation in Plantation runs $7,000 to $18,000, concrete runs $4,500 to $12,000, and a full replacement lands between $5,000 and $14,000. The high water table means base preparation matters more here than in most markets. See the Driveway & Pavers in Plantation page for the complete breakdown.

BeforeAfterKitchen Remodeling in Plantation
A full kitchen remodel in Plantation costs $14,000 to $45,000, and the single biggest variable is structural: load-bearing walls are common in these 1960s-to-1990s CBS ranches, and opening a kitchen into a living space often means adding a beam where the original builder never planned one. The second variable is the same thing every Plantation homeowner deals with: the roof, windows, and waterproofing around the kitchen are usually original too, which is why we scope the kitchen with the whole house in mind. You can see how we think about this work on our Kitchen Remodeling hub.
Full Kitchen Remodeling
Signs you need it
The layout fights you daily: cabinets that don’t hold what you own, one narrow prep surface, and a work triangle that sends you across the room for the refrigerator.
What it costs in Plantation
A full kitchen remodel in Plantation runs $14,000 to $45,000, with the upper end reflecting structural changes and higher-end cabinet lines.
How we do it
We document existing conditions with photos, produce a fixed written scope and price, handle any structural work first, then sequence demolition, rough-in, drywall, cabinetry, counters, and finishes with signed change orders at every deviation.
Cabinets & Countertops
Signs you need it
Doors won’t stay aligned, drawer slides are failing, laminate edges are peeling, or the layout wastes the cabinet footprint you already paid for.
What it costs in Plantation
Cabinet installation runs $4,000 to $13,000, and countertop installation runs $2,000 to $6,500 depending on material and linear feet.
How we do it
We measure everything, quote the job with the exact cabinet line and countertop material named (KraftMaid, Wellborn, Cambria, Caesarstone among the options), then install and level to a written tolerance.
Backsplash, Tile & Flooring
Signs you need it
The backsplash is cracked or missing grout, the floor has lippage or hollow spots under tile, and water has started finding its way behind the counter line.
What it costs in Plantation
Backsplash installation in Plantation runs $800 to $2,500, with the range driven by tile format, layout, and whether the surface needs prep work first.
How we do it
We check the substrate for flatness, apply the appropriate membrane where moisture is a concern, set tile to a layout the homeowner approves in writing, and leave a photo record of the finished substrate and finished face.
What Kitchen Remodeling Costs in Plantation
| Item | Typical range in Plantation |
|---|---|
| Small kitchen remodel | $9,000 - $20,000 |
| Cabinetry installation | $4,000 - $13,000 |
| Countertop installation | $2,000 - $6,500 |
| Kitchen island installation | $3,000 - $10,000 |
How long does a kitchen remodel take in Plantation?
A full kitchen remodel in Plantation usually runs 4 to 8 weeks, but the tree-canopy permit review can add 2 to 4 weeks before work starts. Call (470) 298-9650 for a written estimate with a schedule.
Will my Plantation kitchen remodel require a permit?
Yes, almost certainly. Structural changes, electrical, plumbing, and any work touching the building envelope require a city permit, and Plantation’s tree ordinance can trigger an additional review. We pull all permits and pass inspections as part of the written scope.
Bathroom Remodeling in Plantation
Bathroom remodeling in Plantation costs $9,000 to $28,000 for a full renovation, and the reason is rarely the tile. These 1960s-to-1990s CBS ranches were built with bathrooms wedged against exterior walls, original cast-iron or galvanized drain lines, and no waterproofing membrane behind the original tile, which means a “cosmetic” refresh often becomes a moisture-remediation job once the wall is opened. The humidity here makes that hidden damage worse, because what leaks behind a wall in Plantation doesn’t dry out on its own. Full detail is on our Bathroom Remodeling hub.
Walk-In Showers & Shower Remodeling
Signs you need it
Grout is cracking, the shower pan flexes underfoot, or water stains are showing on the ceiling below the bathroom.
What it costs in Plantation
Walk-in shower installation runs $4,500 to $12,000, and a full shower replacement runs $3,000 to $8,500 depending on waterproofing scope and finish level.
How we do it
We remove the old pan and wall board down to studs, inspect the subfloor and drain, rebuild with a proper waterproofing membrane, and document every layer with photos before the tile goes on.
Tub-to-Shower Conversion
Signs you need it
The tub is original, the surround is delaminating, and you want a curbless or low-threshold entry without sacrificing the existing footprint.
What it costs in Plantation
A tub-to-shower conversion in Plantation runs $3,500 to $10,000, with the range driven by drain relocation, valve replacement, and waterproofing scope.
How we do it
We cut out the tub, relocate the drain if the new pan requires it, install a new valve and mixing assembly, then waterproof the full wet area to current code before tiling.
What Bathroom Remodeling Costs in Plantation
| Item | Typical range in Plantation |
|---|---|
| Small bathroom remodel | $5,000 - $12,000 |
| Bathroom vanity installation | $800 - $3,000 |
| Shower replacement | $3,000 - $8,500 |
Do I need a permit to remodel a bathroom in Plantation?
Yes, if you’re moving plumbing, altering the drain, or touching anything behind the wall. We pull the permit, schedule inspections, and include that in the written price. Call (470) 298-9650 to start.
Will the price change once my Plantation bathroom is open?
Not unless we find something both of us can see and we agree to in writing. Under Clause 1 of the Haven Standard, no change proceeds without a signed change order showing the exact added cost first.
Roofing in Plantation
Roof replacement in Plantation runs $8,000 to $20,000, and the dominant material on these homes is the original built-up or modified bitumen membrane over a low-slope deck, which has a service life the South Florida sun shortens more than any manufacturer will admit in writing. The other big driver is code: Plantation’s entire housing stock predates Broward County’s post-Hurricane Andrew HVHZ requirements, which means a reroof often requires fastener upgrades and secondary water barrier work to bring the assembly current. Full detail is on our Roofing hub.
Roof Repair
Signs you need it
You see water stains on ceilings after heavy rain, the roof membrane is cracked or blistered, or flashing around penetrations is lifting.
What it costs in Plantation
Roof repair in Plantation runs $400 to $1,800, depending on the size of the affected area and whether the underlying deck needs patching.
How we do it
We identify the damaged area, cut back to sound substrate, patch the membrane or shingle field, and document the repair with photos so you have evidence of what was found and what was fixed.
Roof Replacement & Installation
Signs you need it
The roof is over 20 years old, repairs are becoming frequent, or an inspector has flagged the roof for failing to meet current uplift or impact standards.
What it costs in Plantation
A full roof replacement in Plantation runs $8,000 to $20,000, with the range driven by roof size, material choice, and the amount of deck repair required.
How we do it
We remove the old roofing, inspect the deck, replace any deteriorated substrate, install the new system to current HVHZ code, and document the layers with photos before, during, and after.
What Roofing Costs in Plantation
| Item | Typical range in Plantation |
|---|---|
| Metal roof installation | $15,000 - $40,000 |
| Tile roof repair | $600 - $2,500 |
| Roof repair | $400 - $1,800 |
Does a Plantation roof replacement require a permit?
Yes, reroofing requires a permit and a full inspection, and Plantation’s tree ordinance can add review time. We handle the permitting and pass the inspections. Call (470) 298-9650 for a written price.
How long does a roof replacement take in Plantation?
Most single-story ranch roofs in Plantation take 2 to 5 working days once the permit is issued and weather allows. We include a written schedule with the quote.
Windows & Doors in Plantation
Impact window installation in Plantation runs $8,000 to $25,000, and the reason is the housing stock: these 1963-to-1990 ranches were built with aluminum-frame, single-pane windows and jalousie or sliding aluminum doors that do not meet current HVHZ impact-resistance requirements. The openings themselves are often slightly out of square after 40 to 60 years of slab settlement, which means replacement windows must be measured and specified carefully, not ordered from a catalog. Full detail is on our Windows & Doors hub.
Window Replacement
Signs you need it
Frames are pitted, the glass fogs between panes, locks don’t fully engage, or you can feel air movement around the sash on a windy day.
What it costs in Plantation
Full window replacement in Plantation runs $4,500 to $15,000, depending on the number of openings and whether the frames need repair at the rough opening.
How we do it
We measure each opening individually, spec the replacement to the opening rather than forcing a standard size, then set the new unit plumb and square with a documented photo record of the installation.
Impact Windows & Doors
Signs you need it
Your insurance company has flagged the home for non-impact glazing, or you’re tired of hauling panels and want code-compliant protection that works every day, not just in a storm.
What it costs in Plantation
Impact window installation in Plantation runs $8,000 to $25,000, with the range driven by opening count, size, and the product’s design pressure rating.
How we do it
We specify impact-rated products tested to HVHZ design pressures, pull the permit, install to the manufacturer’s written requirements, and provide the documentation your insurer will ask for.
What Windows & Doors Costs in Plantation
| Item | Typical range in Plantation |
|---|---|
| Impact window installation | $8,000 - $25,000 |
| Window replacement | $4,500 - $15,000 |
Do impact windows in Plantation need to meet a specific code?
Yes, any new window or door must meet Broward County’s HVHZ design-pressure requirements, which vary by the opening’s location and height on the home. We spec products that comply and document it. Call (470) 298-9650.
Can you replace just the glass instead of the whole window?
Sometimes, but on original aluminum frames from the 1960s-to-1980s, the frames often can’t hold a modern impact-insulated unit properly. We’ll tell you plainly which applies, after the measurements are in front of us.
Home Additions & ADU in Plantation
A home addition in Plantation runs $45,000 to $130,000, and an ADU runs $90,000 to $220,000, with the spread driven by foundation conditions, the high water table, and how much of the original envelope has to be opened to tie the new work in. These CBS ranch homes were built on shallow slab foundations with undersized tie-beams by today’s HVHZ standards, which means an addition almost always requires structural upgrades rather than a simple extension. The tree canopy ordinance adds another variable: if a protected tree stands where the addition needs to go, the permit timeline shifts by weeks before construction can even begin. Full detail is on our Home Additions & ADU hub.
Garage Conversion ADU
Signs you need it
The garage is a storage room that isn’t earning its square footage, and your lot is big enough to park elsewhere while the conversion happens.
What it costs in Plantation
Garage conversion in Plantation runs $30,000 to $80,000, with the range driven by the condition of the slab, the need for new plumbing and electrical runs, and code-required upgrades to the envelope.
How we do it
We evaluate the slab and existing framing, spec the mechanical and envelope upgrades, pull the permit, and convert the space with a flat written scope and a signed change order for any deviation.
ADU Design & Permitting
Signs you need it
You want an accessory unit on a Plantation lot but aren’t sure what the city’s zoning, setback, and impact standards will allow on your particular parcel.
What it costs in Plantation
ADU construction runs $90,000 to $220,000 in Plantation, with the permitting and design phase included in the fixed written scope rather than billed separately.
How we do it
We check the zoning and lot constraints first, produce a design that clears Plantation’s requirements, and submit the permit package before any construction cost is committed.
What Home Additions & ADU Costs in Plantation
| Item | Typical range in Plantation |
|---|---|
| Home addition | $45,000 - $130,000 |
| ADU construction | $90,000 - $220,000 |
| Garage conversion | $30,000 - $80,000 |
Will Plantation approve an ADU on my lot?
It depends on your zoning, lot size, and the tree canopy review, which is the step most people don’t see coming. We check all of this before you commit a construction dollar. Call (470) 298-9650.
How long does an addition take in Plantation?
Most single-story additions run 3 to 6 months, plus 4 to 10 weeks for permit review and tree-canopy clearance. We’ll put the full schedule in writing before work starts.
