Complete project management from concept to completion.
We manage every aspect of your construction project. From coordinating permits to overseeing qualified trade professionals, we handle the details so you can focus on your vision. Permit-required work is performed under properly licensed Florida contractors as required by law.
Our experienced team ensures projects stay on schedule and within budget while maintaining the highest standards of quality and safety.
From whole-home renovations to targeted remodels, Joshua Scott Homes provides residential remodeling, renovation consulting, project management, and contractor coordination services across Sarasota, Bradenton, Venice, Lakewood Ranch, and surrounding communities.
Complete interior and exterior transformations. We manage every trade — from demolition to finish work — keeping your project on schedule and within budget. Ideal for older Florida homes needing modernization, hurricane hardening, and energy efficiency upgrades.
Room additions, second-story additions, mother-in-law suites, and detached ADUs. We coordinate structural engineering, foundation work, framing, roofing, MEP trades, and finishes — with proper permitting and code compliance throughout.
Complete kitchen and bathroom renovations including layout changes, plumbing and electrical relocation, custom cabinetry, countertops, tile work, and fixture installation. We coordinate all trades from demolition through final finishes.
Custom pool construction, pool remodeling, outdoor kitchens, paver patios, screen enclosures, and pool cages. We coordinate the full scope — excavation, plumbing, electrical, decking, screening, and finishing.
Roof replacements, impact window and door installations, siding, stucco repair, and exterior painting. We coordinate all exterior projects with licensed trade professionals who understand Florida's wind-load requirements and coastal exposure challenges.
Crown molding, wainscoting, built-in cabinetry, custom shelving, staircases, and hardwood, tile, LVP, and laminate flooring installations. We coordinate experienced craftsmen for precision finish work that elevates your home.
Remodeling in Florida isn't the same as remodeling anywhere else. Our project management approach addresses the unique challenges of building in a subtropical coastal environment.
Any structural work — additions, roof replacements, window/door changes, and even some interior renovations — must comply with Florida Building Code wind-load requirements. We ensure your project meets or exceeds code for your specific wind zone and exposure category.
Florida's humidity demands proper vapor barriers, ventilation, and moisture-resistant materials. We coordinate with professionals who understand how to prevent mold, manage condensation, and protect your home from moisture intrusion during and after construction.
Sarasota County, Manatee County, Charlotte County, and each city within them has different permitting requirements. We navigate these differences daily and coordinate with properly licensed Florida contractors as required by law for permit-required work.
Remodeling is the ideal time to improve your home's energy performance. We coordinate insulation upgrades, air sealing, radiant barriers, high-efficiency HVAC integration, and window/door upgrades that reduce your cooling costs year-round.
Properties on Siesta Key, Longboat Key, Anna Maria Island, Casey Key, and Bird Key face stricter building requirements including elevated foundation standards, corrosion-resistant materials, and enhanced wind-load ratings. We understand these coastal-specific requirements.
We plan projects with Florida's weather patterns in mind — avoiding major exterior work during peak hurricane season when possible, accounting for afternoon thunderstorms in scheduling, and planning around the winter season when many seasonal residents return.
Every project follows a proven process designed to keep your renovation on track, on budget, and stress-free.
We discuss your vision, goals, budget range, and timeline. We'll walk your property, take notes, and start building a clear picture of your project scope.
We prepare a detailed written estimate with scope of work, material specifications, timeline, and cost breakdown. We also identify permit requirements and coordinate any needed engineering.
We handle permit applications with your local building department and coordinate material ordering, trade scheduling, and site preparation so work begins efficiently.
We coordinate all trades and manage the construction phase — keeping work on schedule, handling inspections, and providing regular progress updates. Permit-required work is performed under properly licensed Florida contractors as required by law.
We conduct a thorough final inspection with you, ensure every detail meets our standards, confirm all permits are closed, and review warranty coverage and maintenance recommendations.
