Our whole home remodeling oakland-park service covers mid-century gut renovations, open-concept conversions, kitchen and bath overhauls, flooring, impact windows, and complete interior modernizations. Licensed Broward general contractor since 1999. Fixed-price quotes, fully permitted. Updated June 2026.
Whole home remodeling in Oakland Park, FL has surged over the last few years as new buyers snap up the compact 1950s and 1960s bungalows around the Culinary Arts District on Dixie Highway and discover interiors that have not been touched in decades. We are Speedy Remodeling Company — a licensed Broward general contractor headquartered in Plantation, in business since 1999 — and Oakland Park is one of our most active remodeling markets. In our experience remodeling Oakland Park homes, the gentrification wave around Coral Heights, Royal Palm, and Prospect Road is creating a consistent pipeline of buyers who need a capable crew to gut and modernize before they move in.
Oakland Park's housing stock is distinct from anywhere else in Broward. The homes in Coral Heights and Royal Palm are true mid-century construction — 1,100 to 1,700 square feet, CBS block walls, original terrazzo or composite tile floors, compartmentalized floor plans with small closed-off kitchens, and single bathrooms that have not seen a renovation since the Carter administration. New owners buying these properties at 2024-2025 prices are not doing cosmetic touch-ups; they are doing full gut remodels, and that is exactly the type of project we specialize in.
Our Oakland Park whole home remodeling crew is led by W-2 project managers and tradespeople — not day-labor subcontractors — and every structural, plumbing, and electrical scope we take on is permitted through the City of Oakland Park Building Division. That matters because Oakland Park properties close to the Culinary Arts District are appreciating fast, and unpermitted work will surface in a title search or a home inspection at exactly the wrong time. We have completed more than 40 whole home renovation projects across the Oakland Park ZIPs (33309, 33311, 33334) over the past four years, and we know what is behind those block walls before we open them.
If you want to talk specifics — square footage, scope, budget — call us at (754) 354-5443. We answer live Monday through Saturday, 7 AM to 7 PM, and a project manager can usually reach you for a free in-home estimate within the same week.
Oakland Park's Coral Heights and Royal Palm neighborhoods are built almost entirely in concrete block — not wood frame. Open-concept wall removals, window enlargements, and new door openings in CBS construction require different techniques and sometimes structural engineering that most Broward remodelers do not carry in-house. We do. In our experience remodeling Oakland Park homes since 1999, we can identify which block walls are structural and which are infill within the first walk-through, which saves you an unnecessary engineering bill on straightforward conversions.
We hold reserved appointment windows for Oakland Park homeowners in ZIP codes 33309, 33311, and 33334. Call before noon and a project manager is typically at your door within three to five business days. We bring a laser measure, a written scope form, and the subcontractor roster so we can price the full job — not a rough number — in one visit. Oakland Park's roughly 44,229 residents get the same fixed-price commitment as our larger Fort Lauderdale projects.
The most cost-efficient whole home remodeling projects we run in Oakland Park combine kitchen, bath, flooring, windows, and mechanical upgrades under one permit and one project manager. Splitting these into separate contracts over two or three years costs 15 to 20% more in total — you pay for mobilization, permit fees, and protection each time. New Oakland Park buyers getting into a dated mid-century home before occupancy routinely save $18,000 to $35,000 by bundling everything into a single pre-move-in renovation.
Our whole home remodeling service in Oakland Park is a full-scope general contracting engagement — not a handyman service or a single-trade shop. We self-perform demolition, framing, tile, flooring, cabinetry, and finish carpentry with our own crews, and we use a vetted roster of licensed Broward subcontractors for plumbing, electrical, HVAC, and structural work that our license requires. Here is what a typical Oakland Park whole home renovation includes:
For most Oakland Park mid-century homes we complete whole home renovations in 10 to 18 weeks. Homeowners typically invest $90,000 to $320,000 depending on scope, materials, and how much mechanical work the home requires. We give you a line-item fixed-price contract before a single hole is cut.
Oakland Park is in the middle of one of the most pronounced neighborhood transformations in South Florida. The Culinary Arts District on Dixie Highway — a cluster of independent restaurants, breweries, and art galleries that has grown dramatically since 2018 — has drawn a new wave of buyers into the surrounding Coral Heights and Royal Palm neighborhoods. These buyers are typically purchasing 1950s and 1960s CBS block bungalows at $380,000 to $550,000, knowing the bones are solid but the interiors need a full overhaul.
In our experience remodeling Oakland Park homes in this cycle, these projects have a distinct character compared to, say, a Weston estate renovation or a Coral Springs family-home update. Oakland Park mid-century homes were built with excellent CBS block structure but extremely compartmentalized interior layouts — separate living room, dining room, kitchen, and a hallway eating up 12 to 15% of the floor plan. The number-one request we get on these projects is to open the kitchen into the living area and reclaim the wasted corridor space.
The second consistent pattern is the mechanical picture. Oakland Park homes built in the 1950s and early 1960s often still have original galvanized steel water lines. They corrode from the inside out — water pressure looks fine at the hose bib but the interior diameter has narrowed to a trickle. We have found galvanized pipe in more than 60% of the Oakland Park homes we have gut-renovated. A full PEX re-pipe on a typical Oakland Park home runs $6,500 to $11,000 and is almost always worth bundling into the renovation permit rather than treating as a future emergency.
The third Oakland Park-specific consideration is the Lake Emerald and Oakland Lakes zones where mid-rise condo buildings and townhome clusters sit alongside the single-family stock. If you own in these areas, the whole home renovation scope shifts toward interior gut work — kitchen, baths, flooring, paint — because the building envelope is common property. We are familiar with the condo association review process in Oakland Park and can provide the licensed contractor documentation boards require before voting.
What all of this means for your budget: a bare-bones cosmetic refresh on an Oakland Park mid-century home (new flooring, paint, fixtures) runs $28,000 to $55,000. A mid-range whole home remodel — open-concept kitchen, two bath overhauls, new flooring, windows, panel upgrade — runs $110,000 to $185,000 with permits. A full gut renovation including structural changes, PEX re-pipe, HVAC replacement, and all-new finishes runs $190,000 to $320,000. The fixed-price quote we give after the in-home walk-through tells you exactly which bucket your home falls into.
A sample of whole home renovation projects we have completed in Oakland Park neighborhoods since 1999. We work across all three ZIPs — 33309, 33311, and 33334 — so whether you are in Coral Heights, Royal Palm, Lake Emerald, Oakland Lakes, or along the Prospect Road corridor, chances are we have completed a comparable project within a few blocks of your address. On your estimate call, ask for a reference from your specific neighborhood or ZIP. We keep a running list of completed Oakland Park projects organized by neighborhood so you can speak directly with a homeowner whose home is similar to yours in age, size, and scope.
We are a full-service Broward County remodeler with licensed crews for every trade involved in a whole home renovation. Most Oakland Park homeowners who start with a kitchen or bath remodel end up bundling a second scope once they see the estimate — doing two rooms together under a single permit and project manager saves roughly 15 to 20% compared to returning as separate jobs six months later. That savings comes from mobilization, permit fees, and the fact that trades like tile, flooring, and painting can run the entire home in one pass rather than two. We handle kitchen remodeling, bathroom remodeling, flooring, impact windows, painting, and additions across all Oakland Park neighborhoods.
Most whole home remodeling projects we complete in Oakland Park fall between $90,000 and $320,000. The Oakland Park mid-century homes typically run on the lower end when the structure is sound — 1,200 to 1,600 sq ft, open-concept conversion, new kitchen and baths, flooring, and fresh windows. If the home needs impact windows, a panel upgrade, or PEX re-pipe bundled in, budget toward $175,000 to $320,000. We provide a line-item fixed-price quote — not a range — after the in-home walk-through so you know exactly what you are committing to.
For a typical Oakland Park mid-century gut renovation, plan on 10 to 18 weeks from demo day to final walkthrough. Homes in Coral Heights and Royal Palm that carry original 1950s-60s framing sometimes reveal cast-iron drain lines or knob-and-tube wiring once the walls open — we build a two-week contingency into every Oakland Park schedule so the project does not stall when we find something. Homes that need structural work for an open-concept conversion add one to three weeks for engineering drawings and permit approval.
Yes — every Oakland Park whole home remodeling project that touches plumbing, electrical, structural walls, or gas lines is permitted through the City of Oakland Park Building Division. We prepare the drawings, handle the online submittal, and attend every inspection ourselves. Permitted work is required for your Florida homeowner's insurance to cover the renovation and for a clean title transfer when you sell.
Yes, and open-concept conversions are one of the most common requests we get from Oakland Park homeowners buying into the Coral Heights and Culinary Arts District neighborhoods. We hire a licensed structural engineer to identify load-bearing walls, install the proper beam and post system, and permit the work through the city. In our experience remodeling Oakland Park homes, most of the interior walls are non-load-bearing, which keeps the structural cost below $8,000 on a typical conversion.
Yes — we work across all Oakland Park ZIPs: 33309, 33311, and 33334. That covers Coral Heights, Royal Palm, Lake Emerald, Oakland Lakes, and Prospect Road. We also serve the unincorporated Broward pockets that share an Oakland Park address. If you are in the 33309 or 33311 ZIP and unsure whether your property falls within city limits, we can confirm on the estimate call — it affects which building department issues the permit.
The most common mistake we see in Oakland Park is underestimating the mechanical work hiding inside the older walls. Homes built in the 1950s-60s often still have galvanized steel water lines that are corroding from the inside — they look fine on the outside but reduce flow and can fail within two years of a cosmetic renovation. Since 1999 we have learned to scope the full mechanical picture in the Oakland Park walk-through estimate so the budget includes it from day one rather than showing up as a surprise change order after demo.
