A written estimate first
Itemised and in writing, usually within one business day of the walkthrough. The number you agree is the number you pay unless you change the scope.
One number for the whole house.
Most homeowners keep three or four numbers in their phone — a remodeller, a handyman, an AC company, a fence guy. This is all of it, done by the same person, held to the same standard.
01 — Remodelling
Kitchens & bathrooms
The two rooms that decide how a house feels to live in — and the two that sell it. Demo through final caulk line, handled as one job.
-
Full kitchen remodels
Cabinets, counters, islands, sinks and appliance hook-ups — planned around how you actually cook, not a showroom layout.
-
Bathroom renovations
Tub-to-shower conversions, tiled walk-ins, vanities, mirrors and fixtures, with waterproofing done properly behind the tile.
-
Cabinet installation & refacing
New boxes, new doors, or a reface and repaint when the carcasses are still sound — whichever gets you the look for the smaller number.
-
Countertops & backsplash
Butcher block, quartz and laminate tops, subway and mosaic backsplash, cut-outs and edge work finished clean.
-
Tile & shower surrounds
Floor-to-ceiling tile, niches, benches and curbless entries, set on a properly prepared and sealed substrate.
-
Demolition, framing & rebuild
Taking out a wall, moving a doorway or rebuilding a rotten subfloor before the pretty part starts.
02 — Interiors
Floors, walls & finishes
The work that changes a whole house in a few days: new flooring, sound walls, sharp trim and paint that was cut in by hand.
-
Flooring installation
Luxury vinyl plank, laminate, tile and engineered wood — including subfloor levelling, transitions and quarter round.
-
Drywall repair & texture
Holes, water damage, popped screws and full hangs, finished and textured to match what's already on the wall.
-
Interior painting
Rooms, ceilings, cabinets and doors. Surfaces prepped and edges cut by hand, not taped and hoped for.
-
Accent & feature walls
Board and batten, slat walls, shiplap and panelled headboards built to the room's real dimensions.
-
Trim, baseboards & crown
Mitres that close, caulk lines that stay closed, and returns cut properly at the door casings.
-
Doors & interior carpentry
Hanging slabs and pre-hungs, barn doors, closet systems, shelving and built-ins.
03 — Comfort
Heating & air conditioning
Rare for a remodeller: Donte is an EPA Universal certified technician, so the AC is handled in-house rather than subbed out and marked up.
-
AC installation & replacement
Straight-cool and heat pump systems sized to the house, set on a level pad with clean line sets and a proper vacuum before charge.
-
AC repair & diagnostics
Not cooling, short cycling, tripping the breaker or icing over — diagnosed first, then quoted, so you're not buying parts on a guess.
-
Mini-splits & zoning
Ductless systems for garages, additions, Florida rooms and that one bedroom that never gets cold enough.
-
Heating & furnace work
Heat strips, furnaces and heat pumps — tune-ups before the first cold snap, swaps when the unit is past saving.
-
Duct sealing & airflow
Leaking, crushed or disconnected ducts fixed, registers balanced, and returns opened up so the system stops fighting itself.
-
Attic insulation
Topping up thin or trampled insulation — often the cheapest thing you can do to a Florida house to cut the summer bill.
04 — Exteriors
Fences, pavers & property
Curb appeal and the practical outdoor stuff — privacy, drainage, a path to the front door and a driveway that isn't green.
-
Fence installation & repair
Wood privacy, vinyl, aluminium and chain link — posts set in concrete and lines run straight, plus gates that still swing in year three.
-
Paver walkways & patios
Compacted base, screeded sand, cut borders and polymeric joints — the parts you can't see are what keep it flat.
-
Decks, porches & screens
Building new, replacing rotten boards, and rescreening lanais and porch enclosures.
-
Pressure washing
Driveways, walkways, pavers, siding, soffits and pool decks brought back without blasting the surface off them.
-
Landscaping refresh
Clean edges, fresh mulch or rock, new beds, trimming back and hauling away what's overgrown.
-
Exterior painting & siding
Trim, doors, stucco and siding — prepped, primed where it matters and painted to last in the Florida sun.
05 — Repairs
Handyman & the punch list
There is no minimum job. Most customers start here with the list on the fridge, then come back later for the big work.
-
Punch lists & odd jobs
Everything on the list in one visit — the door that sticks, the shelf that never went up, the switch nobody can identify.
-
Plumbing fixture swaps
Faucets, toilets, garbage disposals, shower valves, hose bibs and running or leaking fixtures put right.
-
Lighting & fixtures
Ceiling fans, vanity lights, recessed cans, exterior fixtures and smart switches swapped and tested.
-
Shelving & storage
Garage racks, closet systems, floating shelves and pantry builds anchored into something that will hold.
-
Furniture & TV mounting
Flat-pack assembly, wall mounts into studs, and cables tidied into the wall rather than down it.
-
Move-in & move-out prep
Getting a rental turned around, or a house ready to list — repairs, touch-ups and haul-away in one pass.
Included as standard
Whatever the job, this doesn't change.
The owner on site
Donte quotes it and Donte builds it. No rotating crews and no salesman who vanishes once the deposit clears.
A clean site, daily
Floors covered, dust contained, tools off the walkway. Cleaned down at the end of every working day, not just the last one.
Insured, and honest about permits
A fully insured Florida LLC. Where a job needs a permit, it runs through a licensed contractor and you're told that up front.
