Call (754) 254-8065 to schedule your free estimate with a written price before any work starts.
Why Rowan Construction Group Boca Raton Is Parkland’s Preferred Home Additions & ADU Company
Parkland homeowners research contractors the way they research appliances. They read the three-star reviews. They want the price range on the page before they make contact. We’ve delivered 4,000-plus projects since 2007, every one with a written price before work started and a documented photo record when the crew left. That discipline is what Haven acquired Rowan for, and it’s why our projects finish within a few percent of the agreed cost.
Our crews know the difference between a Coral Springs permit packet and a Parkland one. We know that Heron Bay, Pinetree Estates, and the equestrian western parcels each present different soil conditions, different HOA structures, and different tree-protection triggers. We’ve learned this by working here, not by reading about it.
Under Clause 1 of The Haven Standard, the price is written before anyone starts. Under the 365-Day Done Right Promise, if it’s not done right, we make it right - backed by a terms page, not an asterisk. And if you have a competitor’s written estimate, we’ll review it line by line at no charge.
Calls are answered by a live person 24/7. Crews arrive background-checked and uniformed. The photo record is included as standard, not an upgrade.
Our Home Additions & ADU Services in Parkland
ADU Design & Permitting
ADU permitting in Parkland is not a single-step process. City permitting sits behind HOA architectural review in virtually every neighborhood, and western-edge lots add SFWMD coordination to the sequence. We map the exact order: arborist survey first if protected trees are present, then HOA design sign-off, then city tree-removal permit if needed, then building permit, then SFWMD verification on conservation-adjacent parcels. Our design team produces permit-ready drawings that account for Parkland’s 140+ mph wind code requirements and the CBS construction typical of the city’s 1980s-2000s housing stock. A typical detached ADU in Parkland runs $90,000-$220,000.
Garage Conversion ADU
Garage conversions are the fastest path to rental income or multigenerational housing in Parkland’s established neighborhoods. The existing slab and roof structure often accelerate permitting, but the conversion still must clear HOA architectural review and meet Florida Building Code energy requirements for conditioned space. We evaluate the existing slab elevation against Parkland’s elevated water table, particularly on western lots where seasonal saturation can affect foundation performance. A garage conversion ADU in Parkland typically runs $30,000-$80,000.
New Detached ADU
Detached ADUs on Parkland’s large custom lots - especially in the equestrian and semi-rural western areas - offer the most design flexibility and the most complex site work. Utility runs are longer than tract-home standards. Foundation design must account for muck and peat soils and the seasonal wet season that can saturate ground conditions June through October. We took on a 550-square-foot detached ADU on a large western-edge lot in the Pinetree Estates area, where the first thing our crew had to do was bring in a certified arborist to survey two mature oaks in the proposed build zone before we could pull a single permit. The SFWMD setback rules and the elevated water table meant our foundation rough-in had to be engineered well above the typical slab elevation - and once we got past the HOA architectural review committee’s design sign-off, the city tree-removal permit, and the final inspection sign-off, the homeowner had a fully permitted ADU that matched the main house’s CBS construction and stucco finish. The punch list was short because we’d front-loaded all the arborist and HOA coordination before we ever broke ground.
Junior ADU & Interior Conversion
Junior ADUs - units created within the existing footprint, often with a separate entrance added - work well in Parkland’s larger single-story homes where a wing can be sectioned off without structural modification. The approach avoids tree and SFWMD issues entirely but still requires HOA notification and city permitting for egress, kitchen, and bath additions. We evaluate whether the existing HVAC can handle the additional conditioned load or whether a mini-split is the more efficient path.

AfterTrusted Brands We Service in Parkland
Our sourcing depth across fifty-plus vetted brands gives the written quote honest numbers rather than inflated ones. For Parkland’s ADU and addition projects, we regularly specify Belgard pavers for outdoor living extensions, Unilock retaining wall systems for grade changes on western lots, and ActiveYards aluminum fencing where HOA covenants permit. We stock local inventory for fast turnaround on common items - no six-week waits for standard materials. Every brand is named in the written scope, with model numbers and specifications, so the quote matches what gets installed.
Common Home Additions & ADU Problems We See in Parkland Homes
- Stop-work orders from unpermitted tree removal. Starting site work without a certified arborist survey or city tree-removal permit is a guaranteed stop-work order on western Parkland lots with protected native canopy. We front-load this step before any ground is broken.
- HOA redesign after plans are drawn. Treating the HOA architectural review committee as an afterthought instead of the first gate stalls approvals and can force redesign after architectural fees are already sunk. We submit to HOA review before city permit application.
- Foundation failure on muck soils. Assuming a standard tract-home foundation detail will work on Parkland’s muck and peat soils and elevated water table leads to settlement issues that void builder warranties and fail inspection sign-off. We engineer for the specific lot conditions.
- Builder-grade finish mismatches. Parkland’s 1980s-2000s housing stock is entering its first major renovation cycle. Many owners replace builder-grade fixtures that are actually serviceable while ignoring substrate issues that aren’t. We assess what’s worth upgrading and what’s fine as-is.

FAQs - Home Additions & ADU in Parkland
It depends on how the ADU connects to the existing structure and whether the work is performed by a licensed contractor who follows the original builder’s specifications. We review your builder warranty documentation before design begins and coordinate any required notifications to preserve coverage. Call (754) 254-8065 and we’ll examine your specific warranty language at no charge.
Typically 3-6 weeks, depending on the HOA’s meeting schedule and whether the design requires revision. We submit to HOA review before city permit application, not after, so the timeline runs sequentially rather than restarting. Some Heron Bay and Pinetree Estates committees meet monthly; others review on a rolling basis. Call (754) 254-8065 and we’ll confirm your specific HOA’s current schedule.
Builder-grade cabinets and countertops in Parkland’s 1990s-2000s stock are often the first items owners want replaced, but the structural substrate - slab, roof trusses, impact window ratings - is usually sound. We evaluate whether the existing CBS walls and stucco envelope are performing before recommending cosmetic upgrades, and we flag any builder shortcuts that are now reaching end of service life. Call (754) 254-8065 for a priority assessment.
Yes, if the lot borders or is within the South Florida Water Management District’s conservation lands and canal system. SFWMD setback rules apply to construction activity, not just wetland fill, and violations carry penalties that delay projects by months. We verify SFWMD jurisdiction as part of our initial site survey. Call (754) 254-8065 and we’ll check your parcel against the district maps.
The first step is a site evaluation that includes HOA covenant review, existing slab condition assessment, and a written scope with flat pricing. We do not begin design until we confirm the conversion path is permitted under your specific HOA’s rules and that the existing structure can support the intended use. Call (754) 254-8065 to schedule your evaluation - estimates are free.
