Hollywood's median home was built in 1969 — before modern Florida Building Code, before impact window requirements, before hurricane strap standards. When water, fire, storm, or mold damage strikes these aging CBS stucco homes, reconstruction is not just about restoring what was there — it is about bringing a 50+ year-old structure up to current code standards that did not exist when the home was originally built. Palm Build handles the full rebuild from our Deerfield Beach hub — demolition through final Broward County inspection — with one team, one project manager, and insurance coordination throughout.

Why Hollywood Homes Need Specialized Reconstruction
Rebuilding Hollywood's 1960s Housing Stock to Modern Standards
Hollywood was built fast during South Florida's mid-century boom. The homes that
resulted — CBS stucco ranches, flat-roofed duplexes, and early condo towers — were solid
construction for their era, but they predate every modern building code standard now
enforced in Broward County. When water, fire, storm, or mold damage strikes,
reconstruction means bridging a 50+ year gap between original construction and current
code.
Median Home Built in 1969 — Before Modern Code
1969
Median construction year
Hollywood experienced its largest residential building boom from the late 1950s through the early 1970s. The median home construction year of 1969 means most properties were built before the Florida Building Code existed in its current form, before impact window requirements, before hurricane strap standards, and before modern electrical codes. When damage triggers a building permit, these decades-old structures must be brought to current standards — creating a reconstruction scope far larger than the original damage.
CBS Stucco Construction Requires Specialized Knowledge
CBS
Dominant construction
Hollywood homes are predominantly CBS — concrete block and stucco — the dominant South Florida construction method. CBS walls use concrete masonry units with stucco exterior and require specialized repair knowledge that wood-frame contractors do not have: proper block replacement without destabilizing adjacent sections, rebar tie-in for structural integrity, stucco texture matching across different eras of construction, and waterproof finishing to prevent moisture intrusion through the porous block structure.
Florida Building Code Upgrades Are Mandatory
Mandatory
Code compliance
When reconstruction requires a Broward County building permit, the affected systems must meet current Florida Building Code — not the code in effect when the home was built. For a 1960s Hollywood home, this means impact-rated windows and doors, hurricane straps at every roof-to-wall connection, updated electrical panel and wiring to NEC standards, code-compliant plumbing, and proper roof underlayment with enhanced wind resistance. These are not optional upgrades — they are mandatory conditions of the building permit.
Hidden Damage in 50+ Year-Old Structures
50+ yrs
Of hidden wear
Reconstruction in Hollywood homes almost always reveals problems beyond the original damage. Behind the drywall of a 1960s home, our crews regularly find: deteriorated plumbing (galvanized steel or early CPVC), outdated electrical wiring, termite damage in wood framing, corroded rebar in CBS walls from salt air exposure, and deteriorated roof underlayment from decades of UV cycling. Each discovery adds to the reconstruction scope but also presents an opportunity to address aging infrastructure that would have failed eventually.
Hollywood's Intracoastal condos — many built in the 1960s and 70s — require
reconstruction that addresses both the original damage and decades of deferred code
compliance.
Our Hollywood Reconstruction Process
6-Step Reconstruction Process for Hollywood Homes
From damage assessment through final Broward County inspection, every phase is managed
by one team with one project manager. Hollywood's CBS construction, code-upgrade
requirements, and aging infrastructure demand a process built for South Florida's unique
challenges.

Final Week
01
Damage Assessment & Scope Documentation
Week 1
Our team conducts a comprehensive inspection of the damaged Hollywood property — documenting every affected system with photographs, moisture readings, and structural observations. For 1960s-era CBS homes, this assessment frequently reveals pre-existing conditions that must be addressed during reconstruction: deteriorated plumbing, outdated electrical, corroded rebar, and termite damage in wood framing. We prepare a detailed scope that separates damage restoration from mandatory code upgrades.
02
Insurance Coordination & Estimate Preparation
Weeks 1-3
We prepare a comprehensive Xactimate estimate with separate line items for damage restoration (covered by your homeowners policy) and code-required upgrades (covered by your ordinance-and-law endorsement). For Hollywood properties with multiple damage causes — water, fire, storm — we document each cause separately. We submit directly to your insurance carrier, meet with adjusters on-site, and supplement when initial estimates fall short of actual reconstruction costs.
03
Permitting & Engineering
Weeks 2-4
Broward County requires separate permits for structural, electrical, plumbing, and mechanical work. For major reconstruction in Hollywood, engineering plans are required for structural modifications, wind-mitigation upgrades, and load-bearing changes. Palm Build prepares all permit applications, coordinates engineering drawings, and manages the approval process through Broward County Building Division. Homeowners never need to visit the building department.
04
Demolition & Preparation
Weeks 3-5
Controlled demolition removes non-salvageable materials while preserving structural elements. In Hollywood CBS homes, this means careful block assessment — determining which sections need full replacement versus cleaning and repair. Demolition is also the discovery phase: hidden conditions like deteriorated plumbing, aluminum wiring, and termite damage are identified and added to the reconstruction scope. All demolition debris is documented for insurance purposes before removal.
05
Reconstruction & Code Upgrades
Weeks 4-16+
Active reconstruction proceeds through rough framing, MEP (mechanical, electrical, plumbing), insulation, drywall, and finishing — with code-required upgrades integrated throughout. For Hollywood homes, this typically includes impact window installation, hurricane strap upgrades, electrical panel replacement, CBS block repair with proper rebar tie-in, stucco matching, and modern plumbing systems. Each trade passes Broward County inspection before the next phase begins.
06
Final Inspection & Project Completion
Final Week
Broward County performs final inspections for all permitted work — structural, electrical, plumbing, mechanical, and roofing. Once all inspections pass, we conduct a detailed walkthrough with the homeowner, documenting the completed reconstruction with before-and-after photographs for insurance records. Final cleaning, touch-ups, and punch-list items are addressed. The project is complete when the homeowner signs off and all Broward County permits are closed.
Florida Building Code Upgrades for Hollywood Homes
When reconstruction triggers a Broward County building permit, affected systems must
meet current code — not the 1960s standards the home was built under. These mandatory
upgrades add cost but bring your Hollywood home to modern hurricane and safety
standards. Most are covered by ordinance-and-law insurance endorsements.
Impact-Rated Windows & Doors
$800-$1,500 per opening
Before (1960s construction)
Single-pane or jalousie windows with no impact rating
After (current code)
Miami-Dade NOA-approved impact-rated windows and doors
Hollywood homes built before 2002 almost universally lack impact-rated windows. During reconstruction, any window replacement or new opening must meet current Florida Building Code impact standards. For a typical Hollywood home with 12-18 openings, impact window costs range from $10,000 to $27,000 — a significant line item that is covered by ordinance-and-law insurance endorsements.
Lead time: 6-10 week lead time for custom sizes
Hurricane Straps & Roof-to-Wall Connections
$1,500-$4,000 for a typical home
Before (1960s construction)
Toenailed connections or no mechanical fastening
After (current code)
Galvanized hurricane straps at every truss-to-wall junction
Most 1960s Hollywood homes used toenailing (angled nails) to connect roof trusses to walls — a method that fails in hurricane-force winds. Current code requires galvanized steel hurricane straps at every truss-to-wall connection. During reconstruction, when roof framing is exposed, these connections must be upgraded. This is one of the most cost-effective hurricane-hardening improvements and significantly reduces roof loss risk.
Lead time: Installed during framing phase
Electrical Panel & Wiring Upgrades
$3,000-$8,000 depending on scope
Before (1960s construction)
60-100 amp panels, possibly aluminum wiring or FPE panels
After (current code)
200 amp panel with modern copper wiring to NEC standards
Hollywood homes from the 1960s typically have 60-100 amp electrical panels — inadequate for modern appliance loads. Some contain Federal Pacific (FPE) panels, which have documented failure rates and are no longer manufactured. Others have aluminum branch circuit wiring, which creates fire risk at connection points. When reconstruction exposes electrical systems, Broward County requires upgrades to current NEC (National Electrical Code) standards.
Lead time: Permit required, inspected before drywall
Plumbing System Replacement
$4,000-$12,000 for full repipe
Before (1960s construction)
Galvanized steel, polybutylene, or early CPVC
After (current code)
Modern CPVC or PEX plumbing systems
Hollywood homes from the 1960s-90s contain a progression of plumbing materials — each with known failure modes. Galvanized steel (1960s) corrodes internally, reducing flow and eventually perforating. Polybutylene (1978-1995) degrades from chlorinated municipal water and fails catastrophically. Early CPVC (1990s) becomes brittle in South Florida heat. When reconstruction opens walls, failing plumbing is replaced with modern systems.
Lead time: Permit required, inspected before closing walls
Roof System Upgrades
$8,000-$25,000+ depending on scope
Before (1960s construction)
Original or once-replaced roof with standard underlayment
After (current code)
Code-compliant system with enhanced underlayment and fastening
When roof reconstruction is triggered by storm, fire, or structural damage, the new roof system must meet current Florida Building Code wind-resistance standards. This includes high-wind-rated underlayment (peel-and-stick in coastal zones), enhanced fastening schedules, proper drip edge installation, and code-compliant ventilation. For tile roofs — common in Hollywood — this includes proper attachment clips and mortar-set or mechanically fastened tiles rated for the local wind zone.
Lead time: 3-8 weeks depending on material availability
Ordinance-and-law insurance covers most code upgrades.
If your Hollywood homeowners policy includes an ordinance-and-law endorsement,
mandatory code upgrades during reconstruction are covered separately from the damage
restoration itself. Palm Build's Xactimate estimates separate these line items to
maximize your claim. Without this endorsement, code upgrades come entirely out of
pocket — review your policy before damage occurs.
Condo & HOA Reconstruction
Condo Reconstruction Challenges in Hollywood FL
Hollywood's condo inventory — from oceanfront high-rises on the beach to mid-rise
communities in Hollywood Lakes and Hollywood Hills — adds layers of complexity to every
reconstruction project. Association approvals, engineering requirements, shared-system
coordination, and dual insurance claims make condo reconstruction fundamentally
different from single-family work.
HOA & Association Board Approval
Hollywood condo reconstruction requires association board approval for scope, materials, and contractors. Many associations maintain architectural standards that dictate exterior colors, window styles, railing designs, and common-area finishes. Palm Build prepares detailed scope documents for board review, attends approval meetings when needed, and ensures all reconstruction complies with the association's declaration of condominium and architectural guidelines.
Engineering Sign-Off for Structural Work
Any structural modification in a Hollywood condo — wall removal, beam installation, floor reinforcement — requires a licensed structural engineer's plans and sign-off. In multi-story buildings, even seemingly minor changes can affect load paths to units above and below. Palm Build coordinates engineering assessments, obtains structural drawings, and manages the approval process through both the association and Broward County permitting.
Shared Systems & Multi-Unit Coordination
Hollywood condos share plumbing risers, electrical mains, HVAC chases, and structural elements between units. Reconstruction in one unit often requires access to adjacent units for plumbing connections, electrical panel work, or waterproofing. Palm Build coordinates with neighboring unit owners, scheduling work to minimize disruption while ensuring proper connections and code compliance across unit boundaries.
Insurance Complexity — Unit vs. Association
Condo damage claims involve two insurance policies: the unit owner's HO-6 policy (covers interior, improvements, personal property) and the association's master policy (covers structural elements, common areas, shared systems). The boundary between these two policies — called the "walls-in" or "studs-out" demarcation — varies by association. Palm Build documents damage on both sides of this boundary, coordinating claims with both the unit owner's carrier and the association's carrier simultaneously.
Noise & Access Restrictions
Hollywood condo associations typically enforce construction hours (usually 8 AM - 5 PM weekdays), restrict elevator use for material transport, require protective coverings in hallways, and mandate contractor insurance certificates and background checks. These restrictions extend project timelines compared to single-family reconstruction. Palm Build builds these constraints into the project schedule from day one, avoiding delays from compliance violations.
High-Rise Specific Challenges
Hollywood's oceanfront high-rises present additional reconstruction challenges: material transport via service elevators, limited staging and storage space, salt exposure that accelerates corrosion on exterior-facing walls and windows, and wind pressure requirements that increase with height. For units above the 6th floor, impact window wind-pressure ratings increase significantly, adding cost and lead time to window replacement during reconstruction.

Building Code requirements while complying with association architectural standards.

Insurance & Reconstruction
Insurance for Reconstruction in Hollywood FL
Hollywood reconstruction claims require careful separation between covered damage
restoration and mandatory code upgrades. Understanding your policy's coverage —
especially the ordinance-and-law endorsement — can mean the difference between a fully
funded reconstruction and tens of thousands out of pocket.
Standard Coverage: Reconstruction to Pre-Loss Condition
Your homeowners policy (HO-3) covers reconstruction to restore your Hollywood home to the condition it was in before the damage occurred. This is called "like kind and quality" reconstruction — matching the materials, finishes, and construction quality that existed before the loss. For a 1960s CBS home, this means the carrier pays for CBS block repair, stucco matching, tile replacement, and equivalent-quality finishes. What it does not cover: upgrades beyond pre-loss condition.
Ordinance & Law: Code Upgrade Coverage
The gap between 1960s construction and current Florida Building Code is enormous — and mandatory during permitted reconstruction. The ordinance-and-law endorsement covers this gap: impact windows replacing single-pane, hurricane straps replacing toenailed connections, 200-amp panels replacing 60-amp, modern plumbing replacing galvanized steel. This endorsement typically adds 10-25% of your dwelling coverage limit. For a Hollywood home insured at $410,600, that means $41,060-$102,650 available for code upgrades. Review your policy now — adding this endorsement before damage occurs is critical.
Insurance Supplements: When Initial Estimates Fall Short
Initial insurance estimates are based on visible damage at the time of the adjuster's inspection. In Hollywood's 1960s homes, hidden conditions discovered during demolition — deteriorated plumbing, termite damage, aluminum wiring, corroded rebar — expand the reconstruction scope beyond the original estimate. Palm Build documents every discovery with photographs, measurements, and code citations, then submits a supplement to your carrier. Properly documented supplements are approved at high rates because the additional work is verifiable and code-mandated.
Replacement Cost vs. Actual Cash Value
Replacement cost policies pay to reconstruct with new materials of equivalent quality. Actual cash value policies pay replacement cost minus depreciation — which on a 1960s Hollywood home can reduce the payout by 30-50% or more. If your policy is ACV, the depreciated payout may not cover even basic reconstruction. Palm Build works with both policy types but strongly recommends Hollywood homeowners carry replacement cost coverage given the age of the housing stock and the code-upgrade requirements.
Xactimate Documentation for Faster Approval
Palm Build generates all reconstruction estimates in Xactimate — the same software used by every major insurance carrier. This eliminates the translation step that delays approval when contractors submit estimates in non-standard formats. Our Xactimate line items match carrier coding standards, include Broward County labor and material rates, and separate covered reconstruction from code-upgrade work. Adjusters reviewing Palm Build estimates can verify, approve, or supplement without requesting reformatting.
Questions about reconstruction insurance coverage?
Palm Build reviews your policy before work begins, identifies all applicable coverage
including ordinance-and-law, and prepares documentation that maximizes your claim across
every endorsement.

our Deerfield Beach hub — 15 miles from your Hollywood property.
15 Miles from Hollywood — Local Expertise
Our Deerfield Beach operations center is approximately 15 miles from Hollywood. We work in Hollywood neighborhoods daily — we know the CBS construction, the 1960s housing stock, the Broward County permitting process, and the specific code-upgrade requirements that affect every Hollywood reconstruction project. Local presence means faster response, shorter project timelines, and a team that understands the materials and methods specific to South Florida masonry construction.
CBS Construction & Stucco Specialists
Hollywood's CBS (concrete block and stucco) construction requires masonry expertise that wood-frame contractors simply do not have. Our crews perform CBS block repair, rebar tie-in, stucco texture matching across different eras, and waterproof finishing as core competencies — not as subcontracted specialties. When your 1960s CBS home needs reconstruction, we handle the masonry, the stucco, and the structural connections in-house.
Insurance Coordination with Code-Upgrade Expertise
Hollywood reconstruction claims are complex — damage restoration under your homeowners policy, code upgrades under your ordinance-and-law endorsement, and potential supplements for hidden conditions discovered during demolition. Palm Build separates every line item in Xactimate format, maximizing your total claim across all applicable coverages. We submit directly to your carrier, meet with adjusters on-site, and handle the entire claims process.
Condo & HOA Experience
Hollywood's significant condo inventory requires reconstruction teams experienced with association approval processes, engineering requirements, shared-system coordination, and dual insurance claims (unit owner HO-6 vs. association master policy). Palm Build manages all stakeholder communication — board presentations, engineering coordination, neighbor access scheduling — so condo owners have one point of contact for the entire project.
Broward County Permit Management
We handle the entire Broward County permitting process — structural, electrical, plumbing, and mechanical permits, engineering coordination for structural modifications, inspection scheduling, and approval management. Hollywood homeowners never visit the building department, never schedule inspections, and never coordinate between trades and inspectors. We manage every permit from application through final sign-off.
One Team — Mitigation Through Move-In
Most restoration companies handle emergency mitigation and then hand off reconstruction to a separate general contractor — creating documentation gaps, project delays, and finger-pointing between companies when issues arise. Palm Build manages the entire project from emergency response through final reconstruction with one team, one project manager, and one continuous insurance file. No handoffs, no gaps, no restarting the relationship mid-project.

Common Questions
Hollywood Reconstruction Services FAQ
Why do Hollywood homes need code upgrades during reconstruction?
Hollywood's median home was built in 1969 — before the Florida Building Code existed in its current form. When reconstruction requires a building permit, Broward County requires the affected systems to meet current code. For a 1960s Hollywood home, this means impact-rated windows and doors, hurricane straps at every roof-to-wall connection, updated electrical panel and wiring, proper roof underlayment and tie-downs, and modern plumbing systems. These upgrades add cost, but they bring your home to modern hurricane and safety standards — and they are typically covered by ordinance-and-law insurance endorsements.
How long does reconstruction take in Hollywood FL?
Minor reconstruction (one room, flooring and drywall): 2-4 weeks. Moderate reconstruction (kitchen or bath rebuild, multiple rooms): 6-12 weeks. Major reconstruction (structural rebuild, full code upgrades, impact window installation): 12-24 weeks. Hollywood timelines are affected by impact window lead times (often 6-10 weeks), Broward County permit processing, and the availability of CBS-specialized tradespeople. Homes built in the 1960s often reveal hidden issues — knob-and-tube wiring, deteriorated plumbing, termite damage — that extend the original scope.
What does reconstruction cost in Hollywood FL?
Minor reconstruction ranges from $15,000-$40,000. Moderate reconstruction (kitchen, bath, multiple rooms) ranges from $40,000-$100,000. Major reconstruction with full code upgrades ranges from $100,000-$250,000+. Hollywood's code-upgrade requirements add a premium over simple repair — impact windows alone cost $800-$1,500 per opening versus $300-$600 for standard replacements. CBS stucco repair, structural strapping, and electrical panel upgrades are additional line items not found in inland or newer-construction markets.
Does insurance cover code upgrades during reconstruction in Hollywood?
Standard homeowners policies cover reconstruction to pre-loss condition only. Code-required upgrades — impact windows, hurricane straps, electrical panel upgrades — that exceed pre-loss specifications are covered by an ordinance-and-law endorsement. This endorsement is critical in Hollywood, where the gap between 1960s construction and current Florida Building Code is enormous. Without it, mandatory code upgrades come out of pocket. Palm Build's Xactimate-based estimates separate covered reconstruction from code-upgrade line items, maximizing your ordinance-and-law claim.
Can Palm Build handle condo reconstruction in Hollywood?
Yes. Hollywood has a significant condo inventory, from oceanfront high-rises on the beach to mid-rise communities in Hollywood Hills and Hollywood Lakes. Condo reconstruction adds layers of complexity: HOA and association board approval for scope and materials, engineering sign-off for structural modifications, coordination with neighboring units when shared walls or plumbing are involved, and compliance with both Broward County building code and the association's architectural standards. Palm Build manages all stakeholder communication and obtains required approvals before work begins.
What is CBS construction and why does it matter for Hollywood reconstruction?
CBS stands for Concrete Block and Stucco — the dominant construction method in Hollywood and across South Florida. CBS walls use concrete masonry units (CMU blocks) with a stucco exterior finish. During reconstruction, CBS requires specialized knowledge: cutting and replacing individual blocks without destabilizing adjacent sections, matching stucco textures and finishes, addressing the rebar and bond beam connections that provide structural integrity, and waterproofing the exterior to prevent moisture intrusion. General contractors experienced only with wood-frame construction often struggle with CBS repair.
Does Palm Build handle permits for reconstruction in Hollywood?
Yes — we handle the entire Broward County permitting process. Hollywood reconstruction requiring structural, electrical, plumbing, or mechanical work needs separate permits for each trade. Broward County also requires engineering plans for structural modifications and wind-mitigation upgrades. Palm Build prepares all permit applications, coordinates engineering drawings, schedules inspections, and manages the approval process. Homeowners never need to visit the building department or coordinate with inspectors directly.
Need Reconstruction After Damage in Hollywood?
Palm Build handles the full rebuild — from demolition through final Broward County inspection — with one team, code-upgrade expertise, and insurance coordination throughout. CBS stucco, impact windows, structural strapping, and Broward County permit management included.
