Fast, Reliable Home Remodeling Across Lauderdale Lakes
Home remodeling in Lauderdale Lakes, FL means working with buildings that were mostly poured and framed between the 1960s and 1980s, and that changes how we approach every job. We know the concrete-block condos off West Oakland Park Boulevard and the single-family homes tucked near Northwest 31st Avenue, and we know what this city’s high water table does to a ground-floor slab. You want a contractor who has pulled permits through Lauderdale Lakes’s building department, coordinated with condo associations near State Road 7, and handled the parking and staging realities of a tight lot. We’re Mason Remodeling Co Fort Lauderdale, and our crews serve Lauderdale Lakes every week. Call (754) 354-3720 and you’ll reach a live person, not a call tree.
Why Mason Remodeling Co Fort Lauderdale Is Lauderdale Lakes’s Preferred Home Remodeling Company
Lauderdale Lakes homeowners have a specific set of remodeling challenges, and we’ve built our process around them. Condo associations here require contractor pre-approval, insurance documentation, and often a notice posted before demolition starts. Our team handles that paperwork before we ever load a tool trailer. Single-family homeowners, especially around the East Gate neighborhood, want a crew that keeps the street clear and the site clean while work is underway. Isaac Pruett, who leads our remodeling division, has spent years working on the dense concrete-block housing stock common in this part of Broward County.
We bring The Threshold Standard to every Lauderdale Lakes project. Before any crew member arrives, you receive their name and photo. When they knock, they’re in a clean marked uniform with a photo ID badge. No strangers at your door. Every job gets a written price before work begins, and that price holds unless you change the scope. We don’t do verbal estimates that grow on the final bill.
Our Home Remodeling team also carries the 365-Day Done Right Promise on bathroom remodels, kitchen remodels, and whole-home work across Lauderdale Lakes. If something we built isn’t right within a year of completion, we fix it at no cost to you. That’s the guarantee, stated plainly.
Styles & brands we work with
Home Renovation in Lauderdale Lakes
Home Renovation in Lauderdale Lakes almost always involves moisture management before finish work. The city’s high water table means ground-floor condos push vapor up through slab floors, and walls that have been sealed for forty years are often hiding moisture behind the stucco. A kitchen renovation here typically runs $14,000 to $45,000. A bathroom renovation falls between $9,000 and $28,000. Before we quote either one, we walk the property and check what the water and the original construction have done over the decades.
Moisture Survey Before Demolition
We order structural moisture readings before opening walls in 1960s to 1980s concrete-block condos. The same water table that keeps lawns green in Lauderdale Lakes also forces vapor barriers and waterproofing before any finish work goes in. Skipping this step means a new floor can bubble within a year, and a new vanity can hide mold you never saw coming.
Stucco and Envelope Repairs
A renovation on an older Lauderdale Lakes home often starts with the exterior, not the interior. Stucco cracks let water behind the finish, and that water rots the furring strips underneath. We repair the envelope first, then we renovate the room. That sequence protects everything we install after it.
Home Remodeling Companies in Lauderdale Lakes
Home Remodeling Companies in Lauderdale Lakes are not all built the same, and the difference shows up in how they handle a tight condo lot. We stage our materials on a compact footprint, keep the dumpster off the neighbor’s side of the property line, and coordinate work hours with your association’s rules. A full kitchen remodel in a Lauderdale Lakes condo runs $14,000 to $45,000. Countertop installation alone falls between $2,000 and $6,500. The price reflects the access realities: how far the truck parks from your door, whether an elevator or stairwell is involved, and how the demo debris gets out.
Shared-Wall Notice and Noise Control
Condos in Lauderdale Lakes sit close together. Before demo starts, we notify shared-wall neighbors and the association, and we keep our cutting and hammering within the noise windows your community allows. A single complaint stops work until you re-file the permit and post notice. We prevent that from happening in the first place.
Access and Your Quote
Tight lots and older buildings affect every line item on a Lauderdale Lakes remodel. A third-floor walk-up with no service elevator costs more in labor than a ground-floor unit with a patio door. Our written quotes account for that access up front, so the price you see is the price you pay. No change orders because we didn’t know the building had a narrow stairwell.
Trusted Brands We Service in Lauderdale Lakes
We install Kohler and Moen fixtures, Blanco sinks, and Delta faucets across Lauderdale Lakes, and we stock the common replacement parts for these brands in our South Florida service vans so a quick trim adjustment or valve swap doesn’t stall your project. When your condo association requires specific finishes, we work within those specs. When you’re choosing cabinets and counters, we can show you KraftMaid cabinetry and Silestone surfaces in person before you commit. These are professional-grade products we’ve installed for years, not big-box leftovers we’re trying to move.

AfterCommon Home Remodeling Problems We See in Lauderdale Lakes Homes
- Ground-floor slab moisture. The high water table pushes vapor through concrete, and new flooring bubbles or tiles crack within a year if the slab wasn’t sealed first. We survey before we install.
- Stucco cracks that aren’t cosmetic. Water gets behind the stucco on aging concrete block, rots the furring strips, and turns a small crack into a full wall rebuild. We treat every crack as a possible leak.
- No permit sequencing for shared walls. Dense condo buildings in Lauderdale Lakes require notice to neighbors and association approval before demo. We file that paperwork before the first wall comes down.
- Window leaks in older buildings. Recurring leaks around windows in 1970s condos are common here, driven by the combination of block construction, high water table, and tropical rainfall. A remodel should fix the leak, not just the interior damage it caused.

FAQs About Home Remodeling in Lauderdale Lakes
Replacing cabinets without moving walls, plumbing, or electrical outlets generally does not require a permit in Lauderdale Lakes. But if you’re swapping a sink, moving a gas line, or adding outlets, the city will require a permit, and your condo association may require its own approval process before work begins. Call (754) 354-3720 and we’ll tell you what your specific scope needs.
The high water table pushes moisture up through ground-floor slabs and into block walls, which means we order moisture readings before opening walls and we waterproof before finishing. Skipping that step is how new floors bubble and new cabinets develop mold within a year. We make this a standard part of every ground-floor condo remodel in Lauderdale Lakes.
In many 1970s Lauderdale Lakes condos, the wall between the kitchen and living room is a concrete-block structural or party wall, not a simple partition you can remove. Some buildings do have non-load-bearing walls, but you need a structural assessment and association approval before demo. We’ll bring an engineer to confirm what’s possible before you plan around an open floor plan. Call (754) 354-3720 to schedule a site walk.
Lauderdale Lakes generally restricts construction noise to normal daytime hours, typically starting around 7:00 or 8:00 a.m. on weekdays, and condo associations often set stricter windows. We confirm the current allowed hours for your building before we schedule demo and cutting, so work proceeds without complaints or stop-work orders.
Yes, a remodel is the right time to fix recurring window leaks. We remove the interior finish around the window, inspect the flashing and the condition of the surrounding block, repair the stucco or sealant that’s letting water in, and then install new windows or refit the existing ones before finishing the interior. Treating the leak at the source is the only fix that holds in Lauderdale Lakes. Call (754) 354-3720 for an inspection and a written quote.
