Renovation-friendly living

Many Walnut Creek homes were built around 2001 and 2002, so roofs, A/C systems, windows, kitchens, and flooring are common topics for buyers and sellers. Current listings highlight things like new roofs, impact glass and hurricane panels, renovated kitchens and baths, and tankless water heaters. In South Florida, roof and window details also affect insurance and buyer confidence. See Rainy Season Is Exposing Roof Problems in Pembroke Pines and Miramar and What Smart South Florida Homeowners Do Before Hurricane Season. The Home Depot is about 9 minutes away.

Check the rules first. Exterior changes, such as paint colors, roofing, pools, fences, and landscaping, generally need association approval. Many projects also need a City of Pembroke Pines permit, including roof replacements, and the City requires a permit to remove or relocate a tree (a replacement tree must be installed within 30 days). The two approvals are separate steps. Call the City's Building Department at (954) 435-6502 or see the City's tree removal and relocation page to confirm what your project requires.
