How much does a custom home cost to build in St. Petersburg?
Custom home construction in St. Petersburg typically runs $250–$500+ per square foot depending on design complexity, finishes, and lot. A 2,500 sq ft custom home generally runs $625,000–$1.25M+. We provide detailed, itemized written estimates after a site visit — call (727) 349-5715.
What's the difference between buying a new construction home and building custom?
A new construction (spec or production) home is pre-designed and built by a national builder on land they own — you choose from a few floor plans and finish packages, and it's often move-in ready. Building custom means the home is designed around you: your lot or chosen neighborhood, your layout, your finishes, approved on a 3D rendering before we build. New construction is usually faster and lower upfront; custom gives you exactly what you want where you want it. Not sure which fits? Call (727) 349-5715 and we'll walk you through it free.
Can you build a new home in the St. Pete neighborhood or community I want?
Yes — that's the biggest advantage of building over buying a spec home. Spec homes only exist where a builder bought land. We build throughout St. Petersburg and the beaches — Snell Isle, Old Northeast, Shore Acres, Tierra Verde, Treasure Island, Madeira Beach and more — so you get a brand-new home in the area you actually want to live. Tell us the neighborhood and we'll talk through what's possible.
I already own a lot, or want to tear down and rebuild — can you help?
Absolutely. Build-on-your-lot and tear-down-and-rebuild are two of our most-requested projects, especially after recent storms. We start with a free feasibility review — zoning, setbacks, elevation, soil, and flood-zone/hurricane compliance — before any design begins, so you know exactly what your property can support. Call (727) 349-5715 to get your lot evaluated.
Is it cheaper to buy new construction or build custom?
It depends. National builders can offer a lower sticker price thanks to bulk materials and repeated floor plans. Custom typically costs more, but you control every dollar — you choose where to invest and where to save, you're not paying for features you don't want, and you get the exact home, lot, and neighborhood you're after. We give you a detailed, itemized written estimate up front so you can compare honestly. No pressure — just real numbers.
Do you handle both design and construction?
Yes — we're a full design-build firm. Our in-house team handles architectural design, 3D rendering, permitting, and construction under one contract, so there are no handoff gaps and you have one point of contact from first sketch to final walkthrough.
What areas do you serve?
St. Petersburg, Treasure Island, Madeira Beach, St. Pete Beach, Gulfport, Tierra Verde, Seminole, and across Pinellas County and the greater Tampa Bay area. Free estimates throughout our service area.
How long does a whole-home remodel take?
Most whole-home renovations take 4–10 months depending on scope. Luxury kitchen and bath remodels run 6–12 weeks; full additions 3–6 months; new custom construction 10–16 months. We provide a detailed timeline during the design phase.
Do you build outdoor living spaces and pools?
Yes — custom pools, outdoor kitchens, covered lanais, pergolas, and waterfront entertaining areas are some of our most-requested projects, designed and built for true indoor-outdoor Florida living.
Are you licensed and insured in Florida?
Yes — we're a licensed Florida CBC general contractor with full general liability insurance and workers' comp. You're protected on every project.
