When Davie homeowners search for whole home remodeling in Davie, FL, they are usually coming from a different starting point than the rest of Broward. Davie's ranch-town zoning gives Long Lake Ranches and Forest Ridge homeowners some of the largest residential lots in the county — and with that space comes an entirely different project scope. Our whole home remodeling crew in Davie, FL handles more additions and square-footage expansions per project here than anywhere else we work. Davie homeowners do not just want to refresh what they have; many of them want to grow the footprint. That means new primary suite wings, detached in-law apartments, barn-to-studio conversions, and covered outdoor living spaces built into the same job as the interior gut renovation.
In our experience remodeling Davie homes since 1999, the most common project we get called for is a large acreage home in Long Lake Ranches or Forest Ridge that has not been touched since the early 1990s — dated galley kitchen, original single bathrooms, segmented floor plan that made sense before open-concept living became the standard. The house has tremendous bones and usually a valuable lot, but the interior is a full generation behind. Our project managers walk homeowners through what a full gut renovation actually involves on a lot this size: utility relocations, structural changes to open the floor plan, permit coordination with the Town of Davie Building Division, and the sequencing of trades so the project does not stall mid-job.
If you are in Pine Island Ridge or Rolling Hills — where homes are more compact but still solid — the conversation is different. There we see more total-interior overhauls: kitchens taken to the studs, primary bathrooms doubled in size by borrowing from an adjacent bedroom, and full-house flooring replacements that tie every room together visually. Both project types are squarely in our wheelhouse. The fastest way to understand what your specific Davie home needs is a free in-home estimate — call us at (754) 354-5443, Monday through Saturday, 7 AM to 7 PM.
Most contractors assume a Davie remodel is just a bigger version of a Pembroke Pines condo flip — same scope, different address. That assumption is wrong and costs homeowners money. Our data from 38-plus whole home permits we have pulled in Davie since 1999 shows the average Davie project includes at least one structural change that a typical finish-only crew is not equipped to handle. Contrary to what many homeowners hear at the first estimate, opening the floor plan on a single-story acreage home requires engineered beam sizing specific to the roof span — not a generic header. We tracked our Davie project files and found roughly 60 percent of jobs include a room addition or outbuilding conversion, compared with under 15 percent for our Broward-wide portfolio. That is the Davie difference: space to grow, and the structural expertise to do it right.
Most Broward remodelers work within a home's existing footprint. Davie is different. The large-lot estate properties in Long Lake Ranches and Forest Ridge have room to grow, and our crews design, permit, and build additions as part of the same whole home renovation — no separate contract, no second project manager. In our experience remodeling Davie acreage homes, an addition that adds a primary suite or in-law apartment increases resale value far more than a kitchen refresh alone.
Davie operates its own building department — the Town of Davie Building Division — which has specific submittal requirements for projects on larger-lot properties, equestrian zoning overlays, and outbuilding permits. We have pulled well over 38 whole-home renovation permits in Davie since 1999. We know what the reviewers want up front, which means fewer revision cycles and a faster construction start.
Whether your home is in the 33024 ZIP covering the denser western Davie neighborhoods or in the 33330–33331 range where Long Lake Ranches acreage properties sit, we hold open appointment slots for Davie homeowners. Call before noon and a project manager is typically at your door the same week — with measuring tape, a notepad, and a realistic conversation about scope and budget.
Our whole home remodeling service in Davie, FL covers the full scope a Broward acreage home actually requires — not just the cosmetic layer. That means kitchen gut renovations (cabinets, countertops, appliances, plumbing, and electrical in one shot), primary and secondary bath expansions, full-house flooring, open-concept wall removals with engineered structural beam installation, door and window replacement, attic insulation upgrades, electrical panel upgrades, PEX re-pipes, and impact window installation. After tracking our Davie project scopes over 25 years, the most common combination is kitchen gut renovation plus primary bath expansion plus open-concept conversion — that trio accounts for roughly 70 percent of interior scope on Long Lake Ranches and Forest Ridge jobs. Bundling all three under one contract saves homeowners between 15 and 25 percent versus three separate mobilizations. Most Davie renovations fall between $95,000 and $400,000 and finish in 10 to 20 weeks.
For Davie acreage estates, we also handle room additions and accessory structure conversions — adding a primary suite wing, converting a detached barn or outbuilding to a habitable guest cottage, or building a covered outdoor kitchen and living area as part of the same project. Bundling the addition into the whole home renovation saves roughly 15 to 25% versus treating it as a separate job — one mobilization, one permit set, one project manager coordinating all trades. Most Davie whole home renovations we complete fall in the $95,000 to $400,000 range, with typical timelines of 10 to 20 weeks for interior-only work and 22 to 28 weeks when an addition is included.
Davie is unlike any other Broward city for a remodeling contractor. The town's original ranch-themed zoning — designed to preserve South Florida's equestrian culture — means properties in Long Lake Ranches and Forest Ridge sit on lots ranging from one to five acres, with homes built between the 1970s and early 2000s. Those homes were designed for a different era: segmented floor plans, low ceilings, functional but dated kitchens, and single-bathroom layouts that made sense for the original household but not for today's buyers or growing families.
In our experience remodeling these properties, the most impactful work combines an open-concept conversion of the main living area with a primary suite expansion and a full kitchen gut renovation — those three changes together are what shift the home from dated estate to modern residence. The structural component is where inexperienced contractors often miss: removing load-bearing walls on a single-story acreage home with wide roof spans requires careful engineering, properly sized beams, and a permit reviewer at the Town of Davie Building Division who signs off on the structural drawings. We handle the engineering coordination in-house and have those relationships with Davie's building department reviewers built over more than two decades of working here.
For equestrian-adjacent properties — homes where the lot includes a barn, stable, or accessory structure — the opportunity is different again. We regularly convert those structures into habitable spaces: a detached guest suite with its own kitchenette, a home office separate from the main house, or a workshop with conditioned space. Davie's zoning allows this conversion when permitted correctly, and the result adds meaningful square footage to the property without the cost or disruption of a traditional addition tied to the main structure. If your acreage lot has an underused outbuilding, that is a conversation worth having on your estimate call.
A sampling of whole home renovation projects completed in Davie across Long Lake Ranches, Forest Ridge, Rolling Hills, Pine Island Ridge, and Shenandoah. Every project was permitted through the Town of Davie Building Division and passed all required inspections. In our experience, Davie homeowners who ask for neighborhood references on the estimate call end up more confident in their scope decisions — we can often show a completed job within a mile of your address. Most clients who request a reference tour add a room addition to their original scope after seeing how an addition transforms livable square footage on an acreage lot. Ask for references near your specific ZIP on your estimate call.
We are a full-service Broward County remodeler serving Davie since 1999. Most Davie homeowners who hire us for a whole home renovation bundle at least one specialty room into the same project — it saves roughly 15 to 25 percent versus separate contracts and keeps a single project manager accountable for the full scope from demo through final walkthrough. Contrary to what most homeowners expect, the permitting complexity does not increase when you add a kitchen or bath remodel to a whole-home scope — it is still one permit set, one submittal to the Town of Davie Building Division, and one inspection schedule. We track every open permit in our project management system so nothing stalls waiting on an inspection that nobody scheduled. The two services Davie homeowners most often bundle with a whole home renovation are listed below.
Most Davie whole home renovations we complete fall between $95,000 and $400,000. The wide range reflects Davie's housing stock — a compact Rolling Hills ranch remodel sits at the lower end, while a full gut-renovation of a Long Lake Ranches estate with an addition can run at the top. We give every Davie homeowner a line-item estimate — not a ballpark — so you know exactly where the budget is allocated before we start.
Typical timeline is 10 to 20 weeks from demo day to final walkthrough. Larger Davie acreage estates that include additions or structural work can run 22 to 28 weeks. In our experience remodeling Davie homes since 1999, the single biggest schedule variable is permit turnaround at the Town of Davie Building Division — we submit complete, code-compliant drawings up front to minimize revisions and keep the timeline honest.
Yes, and this is where Davie is genuinely different from the rest of Broward. The large acreage lots in Long Lake Ranches and Forest Ridge give homeowners room to add square footage — a primary suite wing, a detached in-law apartment, a garage conversion, or a covered outdoor living space. We design, permit, and build additions as part of the same project rather than treating them as a separate contract.
Yes — every Davie project that touches structural, plumbing, electrical, or gas lines is permitted through the Town of Davie Building Division. We prepare the drawings, handle submittal, and attend every inspection. Permitted work protects your homeowner's insurance policy and holds up when you sell or refinance — this matters especially on high-value Davie estates.
We work across all of Davie, with the heaviest volume in Long Lake Ranches, Forest Ridge, Rolling Hills, Pine Island Ridge, and Shenandoah. Long Lake Ranches and Forest Ridge are our primary acreage-estate markets where additions and full gut renovations are the norm; Pine Island Ridge and Rolling Hills tend toward full-interior modernizations — open-concept kitchens, primary bath expansions, and flooring overhauls throughout.
Yes. Davie's ranch-town zoning allows outbuildings — barn conversions, guest cottages, and detached garages are common on acreage lots. We have remodeled main residences while simultaneously converting adjacent structures into habitable guest suites, home offices, or storage spaces. The key is coordinating permits for all structures under one project manager so nothing falls through the cracks.
