Margate was founded in the 1950s, when much of its land was still Everglades or farmland. It became a town in 1955 and a city in 1961; the name joins founder Jack Marqusee's surname with "gateway," because it was seen as the way into western Broward. The city covers just under 9 square miles about seven and a half miles from the ocean, and the 2020 census counted 25,985 housing units.
Many homes in North Margate and Margate Gardens are non-HOA concrete-block houses built from the 1950s through the 1970s. Paradise Gardens is a 55+ community of roughly 1,800 single-story homes spread across four subdivisions.
General guidance
In general, block homes from the 1950s through the 1970s have usually been remodeled at least once, so a tear-out often uncovers layers: newer tile over older floors, cabinets replaced on top of earlier ones, or a patio slab poured beside an original one. Plan for more debris than the visible finish suggests. With no HOA, a non-HOA lot gives more freedom on where the trailer sits, but city rules still apply to the work itself.
We serve Margate neighborhoods including Paradise Gardens, Margate Gardens, North Margate, Coral Bay, Holiday Springs, Coral Lake and Margate Estates, and the areas around Calypso Cove, Legacy Park and the Oriole Golf and Tennis Club.
Paradise Gardens and other 55+ communities often have their own rules for contractors, separate from the city. Ask the community office about work hours and parking before booking a tear-out there.

FAQ
Margate's permit requirements list demolishing or removing a building or structure as work that needs a permit. For demolition and land clearing, the city also asks for proof of Broward County environmental approval before the application. The property owner or their contractor takes care of both.
There is usually no association to clear, which makes scheduling simpler. In general, older block homes can hide extra layers of flooring or earlier remodels, so the photo quote should show the floors, cabinets and any outbuildings you want gone.
Yes, kitchen and bathroom demolition fits single-story homes well. Check the community's rules on contractor hours and parking first, and pass them on when you book.
The nearest one is in Coral Springs, where we supplied a dumpster to a national demolition crew for its job at a Best Buy store. Sunshine did not do that demolition.
