Renovation Contractor for Mid-to-High-Value Projects in Southwest Florida
Whole-house and large-scope commercial renovations from a CBC-licensed GC with 23+ years in business and a portfolio across hospitality, commercial, and residential.
Mid-to-high-value renovation needs a GC who can run the schedule, not just swing the hammer
Once a renovation crosses about $150K, the project shifts. Multiple trades have to be scheduled in the right order, permits and inspections need active coordination, change-order discipline becomes critical, and somebody has to keep the budget honest as scope evolves. Smaller remodelers tend to overpromise on schedule and underdeliver on documentation. Large commercial GCs are often expensive and slow for residential-scale work. We sit in the middle — CBC-licensed for any project size, with a documented residential portfolio that includes the Florida Avenue West Palm Beach remodel ($899K, 2,122 sq ft, 3 bed/4 bath) and the Hawksbill Lane Sugarloaf Key remodel ($575K).

Renovation contractor — common questions
What size projects do you typically take?
Residential renovations from about $150K up. Commercial renovations from $250K up into the multi-millions. We’re not the right call for a kitchen-only swap or a single-room paint job.
How do you handle change orders?
Written, signed, and priced before the work is done. We don’t do verbal change orders. If hidden conditions show up during demo, we document them, propose the change, and wait for sign-off.
Do you work on lump-sum or cost-plus?
Both. Well-defined renovations get lump-sum. Evolving scopes get a GMP with shared savings. We’ll recommend the model that fits your scope clarity and risk tolerance.
Can you work with my architect or designer?
Yes, regularly. Coming in during design lets us value-engineer before drawings are committed. We’re also comfortable bidding from a completed set.
What permits will the project need?
Depends on scope — structural, electrical, mechanical, and plumbing trade permits as applicable, plus the master building permit. We handle pull and inspection coordination.
