Historic Home Remodeling Contractor in Old Floresta, Boca Raton

Old Floresta is one of Boca Raton’s most distinctive neighborhoods. Planned in the 1920s by architect Addison Mizner, it is known for Spanish Mediterranean homes with stucco walls, barrel tile roofs and wrought iron details on tree-lined streets named for flowering plants. In 1990 it became Boca Raton’s first historic district.

North2South Renovations helps Old Floresta homeowners modernize kitchens, bathrooms and home systems while respecting the architecture that makes the neighborhood special. We plan every project around the home’s age and character, and we handle City of Boca Raton permitting, including any historic review your project may require.

As a licensed Florida general contractor (License #CBC1269429) with 15 years of remodeling experience across Palm Beach County, we bring careful craftsmanship and one point of contact to every project.

Homes in Old Floresta range from original Mizner-era residences to later houses built in the same Mediterranean spirit. Many need updated kitchens and bathrooms, modern electrical and plumbing, and layouts that fit how families live today, all without losing the arches, tile, wood and plaster details that give these homes their charm.

Because Old Floresta is a designated historic district, projects that change a home’s exterior may need review through the City of Boca Raton’s historic preservation process in addition to a building permit. Interior remodels are usually more straightforward. We confirm the requirements for your project before work begins.

Colby and his team at North2South Renovations are the best choice for remodeling and renovation in Delray Beach — and all of South Florida across the board! Not just in the quality of their work, but their quality as people. As a young, single, woman homeowner, I hesitated to hire any professional contractors and was nervous to allow them into my home. I struggled finding someone I could trust, and did most of the work by myself for the first 4 years. I was referred to North2South by friends, and I only wish I met Colby and his team sooner! At all times, myself, my roommate, AND my pets all felt comfortable and happy to have Colby’s team — Brian, Caiden, Chad, and Scotty working on our home. From the first consult, I could tell he is very passionate about the work, quality, and making the clients’ dreams come to life. This is not one of those companies where the GC is this illusory figure who is hard to reach, and subcontracts out everything, or who only shows up when convenient for him. Colby was there every step of the way, making sure everything went smoothly from designing, permitting, reconfiguring, demo, installation, coordinating deliveries, and more. On top of it all, the prices are very fair, and you can tell he cares more about producing quality work and the name of the company he’s built than just making money. I absolutely LOVE my new ceiling, windows, and countertops. I would absolutely recommend North2South to anyone who’s looking for the best kitchen, bathroom, or whole home renovation in Delray Beach, FL and greater Palm Beach County area. I would and hopefully WILL gladly hire them again.Read full review

I live in an attached villa in Delray Beach built in 1990. I wanted to improve my whole kitchen and the outer area in my master bath. Having never done this before I set out to find a company to do the job. After a few calls to friend’s referrals, it felt as if it was too small a job to warrant much attention from them, basically they ignored me because business is booming nowRead full review

I recently had my master bathroom completely renovated by North 2 South Renovations, and I truly cannot say enough good things about the entire experience. From the very beginning, Colby, the founder, was an exceptional communicator. He was responsive, professional, and offered thoughtful suggestions that really helped bring the vision together. His guidance made decision-making so much easier, and it was clear he genuinely cared about the end result. His team—Brian, Chad, Leo, Scotty, and Caden were outstanding. Each one of them took tremendous pride in their workmanship, and it showed in every detail. They were consistently on time, worked efficiently, and went above and beyond to ensure everything was done right. It’s rare to find a crew that is not only skilled, but also so respectful and considerate. They treated my home with care, always covering furniture and protecting surrounding areas, which I truly appreciated. You could tell they respected the space as if it were their own. The transformation of my 30-year-old bathroom is incredible. The finished product exceeded my expectations, and the quality of the work speaks for itself. They truly went the extra mile in every aspect of the project. If you’re looking for a company that is professional, reliable, and delivers beautiful results, I highly recommend North 2 South Renovations. I am beyond thrilled with my new bathroom.Read full review

Is Old Floresta a historic district?

Yes. Old Floresta became Boca Raton’s first historic district in 1990. Projects that change a home’s exterior may require review through the City of Boca Raton’s historic preservation process. We confirm what your specific project needs before work begins.

What should I expect when remodeling an older Old Floresta home?

Older homes often have outdated wiring, plumbing and drain lines hidden behind plaster walls. We look for these during the walkthrough and include the needed updates in your estimate, so they don’t become surprises during construction.

Can you keep the home’s original character?

Yes. We design kitchens, baths and built-ins to complement Mediterranean details like arches, tile and wood, and we preserve original features wherever possible.

Most bathroom renovations range from $15,000–$45,000+ and kitchen remodels from $30,000–$75,000, depending on scope, materials and whether the layout changes. Older homes that need electrical or plumbing updates will land higher, and we identify those costs upfront.
