Call (727) 677-5582 or email info@jessremodeling.com to reach Founder Jess Dadon directly.

You never speak with an outsourced scheduling service or random sales representative. We immediately set up a physical site visit directly at your property. We physically walk through exactly what you are trying to build.

Start dates depend entirely on your specific project type and strict county permit requirements.

After the consultation, we write a highly detailed formal project proposal. Once you approve that, we confirm an exact construction start date. Projects requiring Pinellas County Construction Licensing Board (PCCLB) permits face strict review timelines. We build these exact permit timelines into your schedule immediately.

You contact Jess Dadon directly for every single question or concern.

He is the exact same person you spoke with before the project officially started. His direct phone number and email remain exactly the same. We never hand you off to a random project manager mid-build.

Jess remains heavily involved on-site throughout your entire complex remodeling project.

On massive structural jobs featuring multiple active trades, he strictly coordinates the operational sequence. He rigorously checks the physical progress at each structural phase personally.

Licensed electricians, plumbers, and tile setters report strictly to Jess, never to you.

If a trade has a technical question, Jess brings it directly to you. He provides exact context and clear operational options immediately. You never need to manage these complex trade relationships yourself.

You will know exactly what is happening before each new work phase begins.

If we discover hidden mold or rotted subfloors mid-project, you hear about it immediately. We pause construction and document the discovery formally before proceeding. You are never left wondering what is happening inside your home.

Homeowners usually stay safely inside the house during single-room remodeling projects.

We strictly sequence bathroom and kitchen work to maintain basic functional living spaces. We create clear walking paths securely through the active construction zones. During massive whole-house structural renovations, we will discuss temporary relocation options.

Yes, we actively help secure written HOA approvals before submitting formal county building permits.

Outdoor additions and fully conditioned Florida rooms strictly require HOA approval first. We identify this strict requirement immediately during your initial intake conversation. We tell you exactly what documentation the HOA architectural review board requires.

We construct heavy plastic sheeting barriers directly at the active work zone perimeter.

We strictly seal off existing HVAC returns to completely limit airborne dust migration. We heavily cover adjacent floors before beginning any messy physical demolition. Daily job site cleanup remains an absolutely mandatory operational requirement.

A punch list is the final written record of every remaining incomplete item.

We generate this list directly at the very end of your project. It captures minor touch-ups and adjustments required before calling the job done. Final payment strictly ties to total punch list completion.

We immediately stop work and generate a formal written change order for your approval.

Hidden discoveries happen constantly in older 1970s Pinellas County block homes. You perfectly understand the exact scope and cost impact before anything continues.

Structural remodels physically alter your home's framing, plumbing lines, or heavy electrical circuits.

Removing load-bearing walls requires a licensed Structural Engineer costing $800 to $1,500. This triggers mandatory PCCLB permits and strict Florida Building Code (FBC) 8th Edition compliance. Cosmetic remodels simply update surface finishes without touching vital hidden systems.

Every specialty trade on our site holds an active State-Certified Florida license.

Florida Senate Bill 1142 makes holding these strict State-Certified licenses absolutely critical locally. Unlicensed electrical or plumbing work creates catastrophic problems during real estate sales.

Payments directly tie to completed project milestones, never to random calendar dates.

Florida Statute 489.126 strictly limits the deposit amounts contractors can legally collect upfront. We absolutely stay within those strict legal limits on every single project. Subsequent payments require passed county inspections before you write a check. Florida Statute § 713.13 strictly requires filing a Notice of Commencement (NOC) first.
