AfterConstruction Before & After in Boca Raton, FL
Photos don’t pad numbers. They show the gap between what a homeowner lived with and what they got. Below are real projects we’ve completed across Boca Raton, from kitchen gut-outs to full roof replacements. Each one started with a written price, ended with a documented photo record, and carries our 365-Day Done Right Promise.
Recent Transformations
Kitchen Remodel: Galley Layout to Open-Plan Living in East Boca
The homeowner had cooked in a 9-foot-wide galley for fourteen years. The soffits ate a foot of vertical space and the wall to the living room trapped the cook away from guests. We brought in a structural engineer for the beam calculation, pulled permits through Palm Beach County, and passed rough and final inspections on schedule. The quote was $47,500 - flat, written, with line-item allowances for the Cambria and the Kohler faucet package. Under Clause 1 of the Haven Standard, that number didn’t move unless the homeowner signed a change order. None were needed. The photo record shows the beam install, the electrical rough-in, and the final cabinet alignment. They use the island for breakfast now.
Bathroom Remodel: Leaking Shower Pan to Curbless Walk-In in Boca Del Mar
The shower pan had been leaking for months before the drywall bubbled. We found the subfloor was 40% compromised when we cut it open - rot extended to a floor joist that needed sistering. The homeowner wanted aging-in-place access, so we pitched the entire bathroom floor to a linear drain at the shower entry and eliminated the curb. The written quote was $18,200, including the joist repair and the full Schluter system. We documented each layer: the stripped subfloor, the sistered joist, the membrane flood test, the tile layout dry-fit. The final photo set went to the homeowner and their insurance adjuster. No surprises, no change orders.
Roof Replacement: Three-Tab Shingles to GAF Timberline HDZ in Hidden Lake
This was a 2,800-square-foot roof in Hidden Lake where the original builder-grade three-tabs had outlived their useful life by about five years. We found two layers of shingles - the original and one overlay - which meant a full tear-off to the deck per Florida Building Code. The decking had 12 sheets of soft OSB from prior leak damage. We wrote the price at $14,800 including the decking replacement, with a per-sheet rate if more was needed. Three additional sheets were found during tear-off; the homeowner signed the change order for $210 before we installed them. The photo record shows every soft spot marked, every new sheet stamped, and the GAF warranty registration number. Final inspection passed on the first visit.
Home Addition: Garage Conversion to ADU in Old Floresta
The homeowner’s mother was moving down from Massachusetts and needed her own space. The existing garage had a sink and a hot plate, but nothing close to code for occupancy. We navigated Boca Raton’s ADU requirements - setback verification, parking replacement, and a separate utility account - and wrote a flat price of $67,000 for the full conversion. The scope included raising the slab to match main-house finish floor height, insulating the block walls with closed-cell spray foam, and running a new 200-amp service to the property with a dedicated meter. The photo record has 340 images: footing inspection, rough plumbing, insulation, drywall, final paint. The change order log is empty. The mother moved in last November.
Driveway & Pavers: Cracked Concrete to Belgard Catalina in Royal Palm Yacht & Country Club
The concrete had failed structurally - not surface cracks, but full-depth breaks from a base that had washed out over decades. We removed 1,200 square feet, found a layer of organic soil beneath the original base that was still decomposing, and excavated an extra 8 inches to get to stable ground. The written quote was $19,400 including the deeper excavation, the full permeable base system, and the Belgard Catalina in the Toscana color the homeowner selected from our sample boards. We documented the excavation depth with a tape measure in every shot, the stone lifts as they went in, and the final pitch verification. Water now runs to the street, not the garage.
Fence Installation: Rotting Wood Privacy Fence to Aluminum with Vinyl Privacy Inserts in Boca Woods
The wood fence had been installed with posts set in dirt, not concrete, which is why they rotted at the ground line in under a decade. The homeowner wanted privacy without the maintenance cycle of staining and replacing pickets. We proposed an aluminum framework - no rust, no painting - with solid vinyl inserts that lock in for privacy but can be removed for airflow if they ever want the open look. The written price was $8,900 for 180 linear feet, including haul-away of the old fence and a survey to confirm the property line. We photographed every footing depth, every post plumb, and every insert locked. The neighbor’s yard stays untouched. The fence stays straight.
