Yes — that's a core reason owners call us. AGK carries five active Florida licenses: Roofing (CCC-1335099), General Contractor (CGC-1534839), Plumbing (CFC-1434412), Glass & Glazing (SCC-131153361), and Mechanical (CMC-1251836). We can permit, perform, and pass inspection on all of them under one contract.

For a Margate property carrying several violations at once — common on the older 1960s–70s homes — that's one contractor and one coordinated filing rather than four or five trades working on separate clocks.

The City of Margate runs its own Building Department and Code Compliance Division at 901 NW 66th Ave. The Building Department handles plan review, permits, and inspections; Code Compliance (in Suite B2, 954-972-1232) handles property code cases, with rental inspections at (954) 884-3660. When a violation isn't corrected in time, the case goes before the city's Special Magistrate. Broward County holds the underlying building code authority and recorded liens.

AGK handles every filing across the city, HOA, and county in the correct sequence, so you never deal with the government directly.

Margate runs its permitting through the Avolve Cloud electronic plan-review and permitting system at margate-fl-us.avolvecloud.com. You need to create an account to apply for permits, upload plans, track status, and search records — a different platform from the Click2Gov and county systems used by some neighboring cities. Recorded liens, separately, sit in Broward County official records.

AGK manages the Avolve submissions and pulls the complete permit, violation, and lien history across the city and county during the free consultation, so nothing surfaces later at closing. Call (954) 807-3455.

Because the Florida Building Code limits how many roofing layers a structure can carry. Many Margate homes from the 1960s and 70s have been re-roofed multiple times, sometimes with a new layer installed over the old one instead of a full tear-off. Past the allowed layer count — or where an overlay was done without a permit — it becomes a code violation, and it typically surfaces during a roof permit application, an insurance inspection, or a sale.

AGK corrects overlay and layer-count violations the right way: a proper tear-off down to deck, HVHZ-approved materials, permitted through Avolve, and inspected to a final close. Call (954) 807-3455.

Yes. After a violation is confirmed before the city's Special Magistrate, daily fines are ordered and accrue until the case is officially closed. Past a certain point those fines are recorded as a lien in Broward County records — which then shows in every title search and blocks any sale or refinance until cleared.

The longer it sits, the larger it grows. Since AGK's inspection and written assessment cost nothing, the cheapest day to start is today. Call (954) 807-3455.

Yes. Margate registers and inspects rental properties separately from building permits, with rental inspections scheduled through (954) 884-3660. That means investment owners face two layers of compliance — the building code side and the rental registration side — and an open building violation can complicate your rental standing.

AGK handles the building-code corrections and coordinates them with your rental compliance so both are resolved together. Code violations and open permits also transfer with the deed, so if you bought a Margate rental with existing issues, they're now yours to clear. Call (954) 807-3455.

Yes. Under the Florida Building Code, all of Broward County — Margate included — sits within the High Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ), the strictest wind standard in the country. Roofing systems, windows, and exterior doors need HVHZ product approvals and must pass inspection to that standard.

Products that don't comply fail inspection, which is how many roofing and window violations start — a frequent issue on Margate's older, much-re-roofed housing. AGK uses only HVHZ-approved products on Margate jobs and includes the approval documentation with each permit.

AGK serves all of Margate and Broward County and can generally schedule a free on-site inspection within 24 to 48 hours. For pressing cases — a stop-work order, an upcoming Special Magistrate hearing, a closing deadline, or fast-mounting daily fines — call (954) 807-3455 and we'll prioritize you right away.

With code cases, time is money — the sooner the work starts, the sooner the case is officially closed.
