Remodeling

A remodel is a major investment of time, money, and trust. Done right, it transforms how a home or business feels and works for years to come. First Service CGC has remodeled homes, offices, retail spaces, restaurants, and condos across Southwest Florida since 1994, with the design talent, the licensing, the in-house trades, and the project management discipline these jobs require. Today our remodeling division is our busiest, and the reason is simple: we own every step from the first sketch to the final punch list, so projects move forward on a clear schedule with one team accountable for the outcome.

Serving SWFL since 1994. Licensed and insured certified general contractor. 4.7 stars across 218+ reviews. Veteran owned and operated.

A remodel done well is a quiet, well-coordinated process. The difference is rarely the materials. It is the contractor’s discipline around scope, schedule, communication, and craftsmanship. First Service brings three decades of project management to every job, residential or commercial, with the in-house trades to keep things moving instead of waiting on subs. We work from Sarasota down to Marco Island and everywhere in between.

Most remodeling contractors only handle the build. You hire a designer or architect on your own, hope they understand budgets, hope they coordinate with the contractor, and absorb the friction in between. First Service handles every step in-house: design, plans, permits, build, and finish. One accountable team, one budget conversation, one schedule. Decisions get made fast because the people designing your space talk to the people building it every day.

Full kitchens, full bathrooms, whole-home renovations, additions, flooring, trim and millwork, exterior remodels, and everything in between. Whether you are reimagining one room or transforming the whole house, we manage the project end to end, with in-house designers and trades so most of the work stays under our roof instead of getting handed to subcontractors. Investors and rental owners also work with us on quick-turn rehabs between tenants.

Tenant build outs for retail, restaurant, medical, and office spaces. Lobby and common area renovations for condos and HOAs. Pre-lease repositioning for commercial property owners who need a space ready to show. We work to occupied-building standards when needed, with phased scheduling that respects the businesses around the work.

When a property takes water, fire, or storm damage, the path back is more than just repair. It is demolition, drying, inspection, scope writing, permitting, rebuild, and finish work, often coordinated with insurance carriers and adjusters. First Service handles interior restoration projects end to end, from the moment the water gets shut off through the final paint. We understand the documentation, the timing, and the adjuster conversations that insurance work demands.

Most remodels follow the same arc, and a clear arc is what keeps a project on time and on budget.

1. Free consultation. We come out, look at the space, listen to what you want, and ask the questions that surface what you have not thought about yet.
2. Design and scope. Our in-house design team works with you on layout, finishes, and the trade-offs that come with a real budget. You get drawings, not vague promises.
3. Plans and permits. We coordinate the engineering, drawings, and permitting required, so you are not chasing the county or hiring three separate companies.
4. Build phase. Daily updates, a single point of contact, and clean job sites. We tell you what is happening this week and what is happening next.
5. Walkthrough and punch list. We do not consider a job done until you do.

First Service has handled roofing, painting, restoration, concrete, and aluminum for Southwest Florida properties since 1994.

One office to call, one team to coordinate, one company that stands behind the work.
