We compared 19 general contractor firms in Fort Lauderdale on Google Maps · 5 listed · How we rank
Hiring general contractor firms in Fort Lauderdale means working from short review histories: the Google profiles here hold more than 180 reviews between them, none above 50, with ratings from 4.6 to 5.0. That makes what each firm actually builds, from additions to commercial build-outs, a bigger question than the star rating.
Short answer: Palladium Construction heads this list at 4.8 from more than 40 Google reviews, followed by Easy Builder (4.7) and GLK Construction Design & Build (4.6). Easy Builder's own site points to commercial build-outs, while Palladium and GLK reviewers describe additions and whole-house projects. Ask for the contractor's license number and a written scope before signing.

Every number on this page comes from public Google data on the date shown. Rating is the live Google star average. Review volume is how many customers have rated the business, compared with other general contractors in Fort Lauderdale.

No business can pay to change these numbers.
What shapes a general contractor’s quote in Fort Lauderdale
None of these firms publishes prices, and reviewers mention pricing only in general terms, so a dollar table would be guesswork. A contractor’s quote moves with the size of the project, whether it is new construction, an addition or a renovation, structural work, permits, subcontractors, and the finish level. Ask for a written scope with line items and a clear process for change orders.
Who builds where
All of these firms list Fort Lauderdale street addresses. Palladium’s site says it also serves Lighthouse Point, Deerfield Beach, Pompano Beach, Hollywood, Plantation, Sunrise, Davie and other nearby communities. Looking for a general contractor near me?
