General Contracting Services

Project costs range from $50,000 for a single bathroom remodel to $500,000+ for whole-home renovations or custom builds. Kitchen remodels typically run $75,000-$150,000, bathroom remodels $40,000-$70,000, and home additions $150,000-$300,000. We use a Time & Materials model with collaborative estimating—you'll know your budget 90-95% certainty before construction starts. Every estimate is free and delivered within 24-48 hours.

Time & Materials means you pay for actual labor hours and materials at cost plus our markup (30% on labor, 15% on materials). You see every invoice. We do collaborative estimating during pre-construction to establish realistic budgets, then provide weekly budget reports during construction so you always know where you stand. It's transparent, flexible, and eliminates the adversarial dynamic of fixed-price contracts where contractors profit from cutting corners.

Timelines depend on scope and complexity. Bathroom remodels typically take 6-12 weeks, kitchen remodels 8-16 weeks, whole-home remodels 4-8 months, and home additions 6-12 months. Pre-construction (design, permitting, estimating) adds 4-12 weeks depending on project complexity and city permitting timelines. We set realistic schedules during pre-construction and track progress weekly.

Yes, all of them. We've been working with Pinellas County building departments for 25+ years. We know St. Petersburg permitting inside and out—historic district requirements, flood zone compliance, HOA approvals for condos, structural engineering for additions. Permitting is included in our scope. You don't deal with inspectors or building officials—we do.

For kitchen or bathroom remodels, usually yes if you have a second bathroom. We'll work with you to plan around your routines. For whole-home remodels, it depends on the scope—if we're gutting multiple systems or creating significant dust and noise, most clients prefer to stay elsewhere. We're honest about what's realistic and plan the sequence to minimize disruption.

We serve all of Pinellas County and the greater Tampa Bay area—St. Petersburg, Clearwater, Gulfport, Treasure Island, Madeira Beach, Tierra Verde, downtown St. Pete, Old Northeast, Old Southeast, Historic Kenwood, Roser Park. We specialize in historic districts, barrier island homes, downtown condos, and flood zone projects. If it's in the Tampa Bay metro, we can handle it.

Three things: (1) We have 20+ W-2 carpenters on staff—we're not paper contractors who subcontract everything. This gives us schedule control and quality control. (2) We use Time & Materials with open books—you see every invoice, no hidden markups. (3) We've never walked off a job. Not once in 25+ years. 70% of our revenue comes from repeat clients and referrals, which tells you what past clients think of us.

Pre-construction is where we turn your vision into a buildable plan with a realistic budget. It includes design (working with architects or designers as needed), permitting (we handle all submissions and approvals), and collaborative estimating (we walk through every decision and cost together). By the end of pre-construction, your budget is 90-95% certain and the timeline is set. This phase typically takes 4-12 weeks depending on project complexity.
