What a general contractor actually does for you

Whole-home renovations, structural changes, additions and anything needing permits and several trades in the right order all need one company in charge. That is us. You get one contract, one contact and one schedule.

Florida requires electrical, plumbing and mechanical work to be done by contractors licensed in those trades. We schedule them, supervise them and check their work, so you are not managing several companies yourself.

We all know it's stressful to find a reputable LICENSED and INSURED GC here in South Florida. Thus why it took us about 4 weeks of meeting and vetting GCs (none were great) until we found Colby and North2South Renovations. Beyond happy that we did! From the first call with Colby until our full house renovation was completed, he has been honest, fair, extremely knowledgeable and accomodating. He has employees, NOT SUBs, employees that work for and WITH him. All of his employees are very skilled and experts at what they each do. Colby also has a dedicated tile guy, stone guy, glass guy and an electrician! No subbing out! The employees and the dedicated trade individuals have worked for Colby collectively for well over 10 years! This is huge in South Florida! Our full house renovation included 2 new bathrooms, all new floor tile throughout the house (they removed old tile first and did this the correct way), new kitchen with island, new shaker baseboards and new shaker doors, plus lots more. Painting, detail work - These men do it all! This full house renovation only took 60 days! We could not be happier and feel Colby is the # 1 GC in South Florida! Pictures attached show his work, you can also find his videos on Instagram and FB.Read full review

Colby did a great job on our home remodel. He was super communicative, professional, and really hardworking. Even on his off days, he still answered our questions and made sure we felt good about everything. I really appreciated the way he understood our vision and gave helpful insight along the way. I’d definitely recommend Colby to anyone looking for solid remodeling work.Read full review

Colby and his team couldn't have been more helpful and professional helping with our duplex renovation. It being my first reno job, Colby went above and beyond the call of duty to make sure I was up to speed and knew everything i needed, and helped me avoid more than a few pricey newbie mistakes. Can't say enough about the quality of their work, the quality of their team and the incredible efficiency they operate with.Read full review

Frequently Asked Questions

Still have a question? Call (561) 664-3256
Do I need a general contractor for my renovation in Palm Beach County?

If your project involves permits, structural changes, or multiple trades (electrical, plumbing, HVAC), Florida law and practicality both point to hiring a licensed GC. For single-scope cosmetic remodels, a licensed specialty contractor may be sufficient. We're happy to tell you honestly which one your project needs during a free consultation.

What's the difference between a general contractor and a remodeler?

A remodeler typically executes a defined scope in one area of the home. A general contractor holds legal responsibility for the entire project — permitting, subcontractor licensing and insurance, code compliance, and inspections. North2South does both, under one certified building contractor license.

How much does a general contractor cost in South Florida?

Most GCs price by project rather than hourly, with cost driven by scope, structural complexity, and material selections. During your free estimate we provide a written budget range up front, and we don't proceed until scope and price are agreed in writing.

How long does the permitting process take in Palm Beach County?

Straightforward residential permits often clear in a few weeks; projects involving structural engineering or HOA architectural review can take longer. We build permitting time into your project schedule from day one so it's never a surprise.

Are you licensed and insured?

Yes — North2South Renovations holds Florida Certified Building Contractor license CBC1269429 and carries full insurance. We're happy to provide documentation before any project begins.
