When a Hollywood homeowner starts researching whole home remodeling hollywood, they're usually dealing with something specific to this city's housing stock: a beach bungalow with a galley kitchen that hasn't been touched since the 1970s, a Hollywood Lakes lakefront that needs to be opened up without losing what makes it interesting, or an Emerald Hills estate ready for a full renovation. Those are three genuinely different projects, and in our experience remodeling Hollywood homes since 1999, treating them the same way is the fastest path to a renovation that feels generic and off-budget.
Speedy Remodeling Company is a licensed general contractor based in Broward County. Hollywood is one of our most active service markets — we completed more than 35 whole-home renovation projects in Hollywood in the past two years, across all three of those housing types. Our project managers know which neighborhoods tend to have galvanized plumbing behind the drywall, which Hollywood Lakes lots sit in the floodplain and need elevation-aware work, and what the City of Hollywood Building Division expects for coastal-zone construction on the beach corridor. That's local knowledge built from showing up here, not from a data sheet.
This page covers what a whole home remodel actually costs in Hollywood, the distinct renovation profile of the city's three housing clusters, what our scope typically includes, and six questions Hollywood homeowners ask us most before signing. If you'd rather talk directly, call (754) 354-5443 — we answer live Monday through Saturday, 7 AM to 7 PM.
Hollywood Beach bungalows, Hollywood Lakes mid-centuries, and Emerald Hills estates each remodel differently — different floor plans, different mechanical systems, different permit paths through the City of Hollywood Building Division. After 25 years in Broward and 35+ Hollywood projects, we don't have to guess what's behind the walls. We know the typical plumbing, framing, and electrical for each era before we open anything.
The most common complaint we hear from Hollywood homeowners who've had a bad remodel experience: "it doesn't feel like our house anymore." In our experience, beach bungalows and Hollywood Lakes homes have character worth keeping — terrazzo floors, proportional ceilings, original site lines. We're deliberate about what we modernize and what we leave alone, and we'll tell you when a trendy design choice will age poorly in this specific neighborhood.
Every Hollywood whole home renovation quote is a line-item fixed price — not a ballpark with an asterisk. We pull every required permit through the City of Hollywood Building Division and handle all inspections ourselves. Most Hollywood homeowners get an on-site estimate within the same week they call. We hold open appointment slots specifically for Broward County homeowners.
Our whole home remodeling scope in Hollywood covers multi-room gut renovations, open-concept conversions, kitchen and primary bath overhauls, flooring throughout, interior and exterior paint, impact window and door installation, structural wall removals, additions and in-law suites, PEX re-pipes, electrical panel upgrades, and attic insulation. Most Hollywood homeowners bundle two or three of these trades under a single project manager — it saves roughly 15–25% versus scheduling them as separate projects, and it eliminates the coordination problem of three contractors in the same house. For a typical Hollywood whole home remodeling project, our homeowners invest between $85,000 and $350,000 and finish in 10 to 20 weeks. The low end is a focused renovation of a beach bungalow — kitchen, baths, flooring, paint. The high end is a full gut renovation of an Emerald Hills estate with structural changes, a primary suite addition, and new mechanical systems. We never quote over the phone — Hollywood's housing stock varies too much for an honest number without a walkthrough. Call and we'll be there this week.
Hollywood is one of the most internally diverse housing markets in Broward County, and that diversity shapes every whole home renovation we do here. Understanding which type of home you own — and which neighborhood it sits in — is the first thing we establish on an estimate call, because the scope, the permit path, and the design conversation are genuinely different.
The homes within a mile of the Broadwalk and the beach corridor are largely post-war construction — 1940s through 1960s — built small, built tight, and built with materials that are decades past their service life in most cases. Original galvanized drain lines, knob-and-tube or aluminum wiring in the older ones, and kitchens that were laid out for a housewife working alone, not for an open living floor plan. The renovation goal here is almost always to open the floor plan without destroying the house's proportions, modernize the kitchen and baths, and bring the mechanical systems into the 21st century — all while keeping whatever makes the home feel like it belongs on the beach. In our experience remodeling Hollywood bungalows since 1999, the homeowners who are happiest with the result are the ones who told us what they wanted to keep. We ask that question on every estimate call.
Hollywood Lakes is a neighborhood of mid-century single-family homes on narrow lots along the lake system west of US-1. Many were built in the 1950s–1970s and have original terrazzo floors, jalousie windows, and room configurations that predate open-concept design. The structural bones are often solid, but the kitchens and baths are dramatically outdated. Renovations here typically focus on opening the kitchen to the living area, converting one or both baths to modern walk-in shower configurations, and deciding what to do with the terrazzo — which, in our view, is usually worth keeping and polishing rather than covering. The lakefront lots in this neighborhood also have setback and floodplain considerations that come up in the permit application; we know those requirements and factor them into the scope on day one.
Hollywood's inland estate neighborhoods — Emerald Hills and Hollywood Hills in the 33021 ZIP — are a different renovation profile entirely. These are larger homes, typically 2,500–4,500 square feet, built between 1980 and 2005, with floor plans that can accommodate full gut renovations and additions. The original kitchens in many of these homes are large enough to become genuinely spectacular with new cabinetry, quartz countertops, and a structural island — and the primary baths have the square footage for real luxury conversions. These projects are our largest in Hollywood, often running 16–20 weeks, and they're the ones that most benefit from having a single project manager coordinating every trade from demo through final walkthrough.

Before committing to a project, Hollywood homeowners typically want straight answers on cost, timeline, and process. Here is what we can tell you from 25 years of Broward County remodeling and 35+ Hollywood projects specifically.
We are a full-service Broward County remodeler. Most Hollywood homeowners who start with a kitchen or bath end up bundling a second trade — it saves time, reduces disruption, and cuts the combined cost versus two separate projects.
Hollywood has a mix of housing stock you don't find in one place anywhere else in Broward: post-war beach bungalows in the 33019 corridor, lakefront mid-century homes in Hollywood Lakes, and larger 1980s–2000s estates in Emerald Hills. Each type remodels differently. Beach bungalows have smaller footprints with cottage-scale kitchens and single bathrooms — the goal is usually to open the floor plan, modernize without erasing the character, and satisfy the City of Hollywood Building Division's coastal construction rules. Emerald Hills homes have the square footage for full gut renovations with primary suite additions and complete kitchen overhauls. In our experience remodeling Hollywood homes since 1999, understanding which neighborhood you're in changes the estimate, the permit path, and the design scope before we even open a wall.
Most Hollywood whole home renovations we complete fall between $85,000 and $350,000. A cosmetic refresh of a Hollywood Lakes mid-century — new kitchen, two baths, flooring, and paint — typically runs $85,000–$140,000. A full gut renovation of an Emerald Hills estate with structural changes, open-concept conversion, primary suite build-out, and new mechanical systems runs $180,000–$350,000 or more. We give every Hollywood homeowner a line-item fixed-price quote, not a ballpark, so you know exactly where the money goes.
Typical timeline is 10 to 20 weeks from demo day to final walkthrough. Beach bungalows near Hollywood Beach tend to run 10–14 weeks because the square footage is smaller, but older properties often have surprises — galvanized drain lines, non-standard stud spacing, or outdated electrical panels that add a week. Emerald Hills estates with structural work and additions run 16–20 weeks. We build contingency into the schedule on day one so the project doesn't stall mid-renovation.
Yes — and this is the conversation we have on almost every Hollywood Beach and Hollywood Lakes job. Homeowners want modern kitchens and baths without turning the house into something that doesn't belong in the neighborhood. In practice that means keeping original terrazzo floors where they're salvageable, using cabinet profiles and hardware that read as coastal rather than generic contemporary, and being deliberate about where we open walls versus where we leave structure that gives the home its proportions. We've remodeled enough Hollywood bungalows to know where that line is.
Yes — every project that touches plumbing, electrical, structural, or gas lines is pulled on permit through the City of Hollywood Building Division. We handle the drawings, submittal, and every inspection from rough-in to final. Florida insurance policies and future buyers require permitted work, so this protects your investment. Hollywood's coastal location also means impact-rated windows and doors are required on replacement, which we factor into the scope from the start.
We can, and we do it regularly in Hollywood. The approach depends on the scope: for a kitchen-forward renovation, we stage the work so you have a functioning bathroom and bedroom throughout. For a full gut renovation in an Emerald Hills home, honest advice is that you'll be more comfortable staying elsewhere for the first 4–6 weeks of demo and rough-in. We assign one project manager to your job for the full timeline — same person you call, same person on site — so you always know exactly where the project stands.
