Bradenton & Sarasota Home Remodeling
& Renovation Services

Permit requirements depend on the project scope and local jurisdiction. In Southwest Florida, most structural changes, electrical work, plumbing, roofing, and additions typically require permits from your city or county building department. Cosmetic updates like painting and cabinet refacing often do not. During your consultation, we'll help you understand what permits your specific project may need and coordinate with properly licensed Florida contractors and qualified trade professionals as required by law.

As a Southwest Florida general contractor, Joshua Scott Homes manages and delivers residential remodeling and renovation projects for homeowners across Sarasota, Bradenton, Venice, Lakewood Ranch, Siesta Key, Longboat Key, Anna Maria Island, North Port, and the surrounding Southwest Florida communities — including kitchen remodeling, bathroom renovations, custom home builds, home additions, ADUs and mother-in-law suites, pool and outdoor living spaces, roofing, windows and doors, flooring, custom finish carpentry, and more. Where the scope requires it, appropriately licensed trade professionals are coordinated as part of the project.
