Remodeling Contractor

As an experienced Remodeling Contractor, in both Commercial and Residential projects, Suncoast has provided remodeling services for major projects in Tampa, St. Petersburg and Clearwater, Largo, Pinellas Park, Tierra Verde, Gulf Beaches, St. Pete Beach and Madeira Beach and we cover Pinellas, Hillsborough, Manatee, Pasco and Sarasota Counties.

Commercial Remodeling, whether it is a Tenant Build-Out of a new or existing space or remodeling an existing office space, requires an experienced Remodeling Contractor that can get the project completed in a timely manner.

Residential Remodeling can mean anything from taking out a wall to open a room, cutting an opening to add a window, to Kitchen Remodeling, Bathroom Remodeling, a Room Addition or completely changing the look of the interior and exterior of the home. In Home Remodeling, an experienced Residential Remodeling Contractor understands how important it is to remember that you are in someone's home and, as you leave the project each day, the Home Owner needs to be able to go on with their daily lives with a minimum of disturbance.

In Remodeling, it is important to have an understanding of the original structure, the way it was meant to withstand external forces and how your work may affect that structure. Suncoast has completed many remodeling projects, both residential and commercial. Some have been mostly cosmetic but others have had serious structural modifications, such as removing a load bearing wall and re-supporting the above structure, in an active airport.

Here is a brief description of what some of our Most Recent Remodeling Projects included:

• St Petersburg / Clearwater Airport - At the St Petersburg / Clearwater Airport, our job was to remove a wall so that Gates 9 & 10 were more accessible. This happened to be a load bearing wall which required careful preparation and well thought out safety precautions to temporarily support the structure above. This project went smoothly and Suncoast even brought our own engineer in for a redesign that gave the project a better finished appearance.
  
• City of Pinellas Park Senior Center – New kitchen addition and remodeled center. This project included an addition for the new full commercial kitchen area, tying in the roof systems, a doorway and pass-through. The balance of the existing center was remodeled and updated.
• Fairmont Park Elementary – New classroom window walls. This was a summer project that had to be started and completed during the summer break, giving a very small window for the time of construction. We never missed a construction deadline.
• North Shore Elementary – New classroom ceiling systems. This was another summer project that had to be started and completed during the summer break, giving a very small window for the time of construction. We never missed a construction deadline.
• Bank Corporate Offices, downtown St. Petersburg offices of a large national bank – Suncoast custom built new oak window walls and doorways for existing offices. All of the construction work had to be completed at night, while the offices were closed. This meant that the project had to be broken down into small segments that could be started and completed in one night, with no signs of construction left behind for the following business day.

• Two Story South Pasadena Home - This is a beautiful 1924 home. In order to open the stair landing to living room, we temporarily supported the second floor parallel to the area to be removed, removed the load bearing wall supporting the second floor and resupported the second floor with a column and beam system, which we hid in the surrounding walls and ceiling.
  
  
  We also remodeled the master bath, utilizing just a small portion of two little used closets to enlarge the bath.
  
  

• Two story Terra Verde home - This home was remodeled throughout.
  Walls and closets were take out at the entry to open the area: There were walls and a closet to the right of the entry door, that enclosed an office area and a wall separated the area on each side of the step-down. These were all removed and new laminate flooring was installed. Now when you enter the house you have a view through the family room and look out over the pool area.
  The kitchen and two baths we remodeled: The old faded Corian countertops were removed and Granite countertops were installed with a new under-mount sink, faucet and cabinet hardware. The fake tile backsplash was removed and the glue residue can still be seen on the walls in one of the photos. The walls at the backsplash were repaired and painted to look fresh and new. In the master bath, a door was installed at the toilet, to make it private, old wallpaper was removed and the walls repaired and painted and a new Granite counter top was installed.
  The laundry room was modified into a concealed laundry area and a half-bath: The only downstairs bath was in the master suite but there was a good size laundry room off the kitchen. The laundry room was converted in to a Laundry / Half Bath. In the photo, the washer and dryer are behind the mirrored bypass doors and the sink and toilet can be seen in the reflection of the mirror.
  The interior and exterior were painted throughout.

  
  
  
  
• Treasure Island waterfront bungalow, circa 1914 – This waterfront bungalow presented its own unique set of challenges. One challenge we faced was to try and make this home more water resistant. One method we used was to remove the lower two feet of drywall and install moisture resistant materials. We also remodeled the kitchen and bathroom, added a new closet in bedroom, installed a new exterior composite deck and waterproofed the exterior walls.
• Treasure Island waterfront home – Remodel kitchen and second bathroom, reconfigure master bath, enclose screened porch to air conditioned space, enclose carport to garage and paint complete.
• St. Petersburg home - Add approximately 1,000 sf addition to 1959 block home, add 10’ x 60’ rear porch, with 30’ clear column spans. Remodel kitchen and bath, add two baths, a master suite and office. Remove walls in kitchen / dining area to open space and hide structural members above the ceiling line. Decorative cove lighting in the dining room, living room and master bedroom.
• Treasure Island waterfront penthouse condominium - This was a fun project where we took two penthouse condominium units and combined them into one unit. This project offered its own challenges, as we needed to incorporate the structural elements of the building, which we could not re-arrange, as we have done in other projects.
