Our work

The projects we take on β€” and what they really cost.

Most contractor sites show you a finished kitchen and no numbers. Here's the actual scope, timeline, and budget band for each kind of project we run in Tampa Bay, so you can tell before you call whether we're in your range.

Renovation projects

Budget bands are typical Tampa Bay ranges for the scope described, before site conditions and material selection. Your written estimate is the real number.

The process

A full rehab, stage by stage

A whole-house project runs in this order. A single-room job is the same discipline on a smaller scope.

1

Assess & scope

Walk the house, test what's hidden, and write the work down. Roof age, panel capacity, plumbing material, moisture, and structure come first β€” the expensive surprises all live there.

2

Demo & cleanout

Contents removed, failed finishes torn out, and the house opened up so the real conditions are visible before a dollar goes into anything cosmetic.

3

Systems & envelope

Roof, windows, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC. Permitted and inspected. The part buyers and insurers care about most and photograph least.

4

Rough carpentry & drywall

Framing corrections, subfloor repair, insulation, drywall, and texture. Where a job either ends up square and flat or doesn't.

5

Finishes

Flooring, cabinets, counters, tile, trim, doors, paint, fixtures, and lighting. The visible part β€” and the fastest part, if the four stages before it were done properly.

6

Punch & handover

Final inspections, a walkthrough with the owner, and the punch list closed out before the last payment is due.

What to look for

How to judge any contractor's photos

Finished-kitchen photos are the easiest thing in this industry to fake or borrow. When you're comparing bids β€” ours included β€” ask for these instead:

  • Progress photos from the middle of the job, not just the reveal
  • The permit numbers for the work, which you can look up yourself
  • An address you can drive past, with the owner's permission to call
  • What went wrong on that job and how it was handled

Any contractor worth hiring can produce all four. Ask us for ours.
