Demolition · Lauderdale Lakes, FL
Sunshine State Junk Removal takes on demolition in Lauderdale Lakes, inside and out: tired kitchens and bathrooms, sheds, patio slabs, and whole structures when the job calls for it, and we haul away whatever comes down. Text photos to (954) 247-1399 for a quote. Much of the city filled in during the 1960s and 1970s, so we ask about the age of your home when we price the work.

Lauderdale Lakes incorporated on June 22, 1961, when roughly 300 people lived on what was mostly farm and grazing land. Through the 1960s and 1970s it grew into neighborhoods set around lakes, and it first drew seasonal residents as a retirement destination. Today it covers about 3.64 square miles, almost all land, centered on the crossing of State Road 7/U.S. 441 and Oakland Park Boulevard.
The 2020 census counted 15,753 housing units in the city, about 18% of them vacant at the time of the count.
General guidance
Homes of that era often still have original or once-updated kitchens and bathrooms, and in general those are the rooms people tear out first. Expect layers: newer tile laid over older tile, cabinets built in place, and fixtures that come out in pieces.
In general, a unit that has sat empty or been held for decades needs a cleanout before demolition can start, and handling the leftover belongings and the tear-out in one visit saves a trip. On a lot that backs onto water, debris usually has to travel through a side yard or the house, which adds labor.
We serve homes throughout Lauderdale Lakes, on both sides of State Road 7 and along Oakland Park Boulevard, and the city is served from our Southwest Ranches location. We also cover bordering Tamarac, Lauderhill, Oakland Park and Fort Lauderdale.

FAQ
Usually more layers than you would guess: tile over tile, built-in cabinets and older fixtures. Photos of the floors, the countertops and, if you can, the inside of a cabinet help us quote the labor accurately.
Yes. We can remove furniture and leftover belongings first and then do the interior demolition, hauling both away. Send photos of each room and tell us whether the unit is in a multi-unit building.
Check with the Building Division under the city's Development Services. The owner, or the owner's contractor, obtains any permit; we start once the work is cleared.
Yes, all of Lauderdale Lakes. If your backyard faces the water, mention it, since that changes how debris gets from the work area to the trailer.
Yes. Patio and deck removal covers breaking up the slab and hauling it off. Clean concrete can be kept separate as clean fill, which in general makes disposal simpler.
