Weston, Broward County
Demolition in Weston
Weston began as Arvida's master-planned community, first called Indian Trace, and became a city in 1996, with Bonaventure joining in 1997. Its neighborhoods were built to a plan and are governed by associations, so a demolition here answers to two reviewers: the city and the HOA.
The first Arvida homes were finished by 1984, so most of Weston's housing is young by Broward standards. Full teardowns are less common than interior gut-outs, pool removals and demolition ahead of an addition, and each of those touches the exterior or the lot in a way an association may review.
Where the association has architectural review, its written approval comes first. The city permit does not substitute for it, and an HOA stop-work letter halfway through a job costs more than the wait would have.
Weston Permitting Services takes applications through the city's e-Permits portal. Contractors must be registered with the city, with current insurance and licensing documents on file, and applications are signed and notarized for each discipline of work.

Questions
Demolition in Weston
Does my Weston HOA need to approve a demolition?
If the association has architectural review, plan on it for any exterior change, and many associations also set rules for contractor hours and container placement. The city permit and the HOA approval are separate. We ask for the association's written approval before we file with the city.
What does a demolition cost?
Every job is quoted from a site visit, or from photos and drawings when that is enough to see the scope. The number depends on what the building is made of, its size and height, what the asbestos survey finds, which utilities must be disconnected, access for equipment, how close the neighbors are, what stays and what goes, and where the debris is hauled. We do not publish prices, because two jobs that look alike rarely are.
What happens with asbestos before demolition?
The building is surveyed first by an independent licensed consultant, because federal rules require a thorough asbestos inspection before a regulated demolition and the county's notice depends on it. If the survey finds asbestos that the work will disturb, a licensed abatement firm removes it. Romco coordinates both; we are not an abatement contractor.
How long does a demolition take?
We do not quote durations before the facts are in. The schedule depends on permit review in your city, how quickly the utility disconnect letters arrive, what the asbestos survey finds and any notice period that follows, association approvals, and the size and construction of the building. Once those are known, we give you a sequence with the dependencies named.
