Home Remodeling in Sunrise, FL
Bringing Sunrise Homes Out of the 1970s and 80s
Sunrise started out as Sunrise Golf Village in the 1960s and built out steadily through the 70s and 80s, long before the Sawgrass corridor turned the west side of the city into a regional destination. The result is a huge stock of solid single-family homes east of the mall that are two generations behind on the inside: compact closed kitchens, original bathrooms, and floor plans divided into small rooms.
Those are the houses we remodel every week. We work in Sunrise every week, and the projects follow a familiar arc: open the kitchen to the living area, rebuild the bathrooms, run new flooring wall to wall, and let daylight into rooms that never had it.
Some owners do it in stages, a kitchen this year and bathrooms next. Others take the house down to a blank interior and rebuild it once. We structure the plan either way.
The Work Sunrise Houses Need Most
Kitchen remodels with wall removals are the signature Sunrise project - most of these homes were built with the kitchen sealed off, and taking that wall down changes everything about the house. Bathroom renovations, tub-to-shower conversions, whole-home flooring, popcorn ceiling removal, interior and exterior painting and full renovations round out the list.
Because these homes are largely concrete block, wall changes are engineered and permitted properly. We have done enough of them in this city to know the difference between a wall that comes down in a morning and one that needs a beam.

Can the kitchen wall in my 1970s Sunrise house be removed?
In most of these block-built homes, yes - with proper engineering and a permit. We evaluate whether the wall is load-bearing and design the beam if one is needed, then handle the permit with the City of Sunrise.
Is it better to remodel my Sunrise house in stages or all at once?
Both work. Staged remodels spread the disruption; a single full renovation is faster overall and avoids repeating setup and dust control. We will plan your project both ways so you can decide.
Who inspects remodeling work in Sunrise?
The City of Sunrise building department inspects permitted work at set milestones - rough plumbing, electrical, and final. We schedule and attend every inspection ourselves.
Do you remove popcorn ceilings in Sunrise homes?
Yes, it is one of our most requested add-ons here since nearly every 70s and 80s house has them. Doing it during a remodel, while rooms are already protected, is by far the cleanest time.
