SDF Contracting LLC handles residential construction at the scale that requires a licensed general contractor, not a handyman. That means custom homes, full-home renovations, large additions, and gut-level kitchen and bath remodels where permits, structural work, and trade coordination are actually involved. Florida CBC1255772 and CGC1506421 in-house means we can carry residential and commercial work under the same firm.
SDF Contracting has been building in Pinellas County since 2014. In 2026, we brought that same commercial-grade discipline, licensing and real project management, to homeowners, launching a Residential Division for renovations, additions, and custom home construction. The same standards that make us a trusted commercial general contractor now work for your home.
The homeowners we work with in St. Petersburg and Pinellas County are typically people who have lived in their home long enough to know what they actually want changed, or families planning a long-term investment in a ground-up custom build. We are comfortable working with homeowners directly, with design-build clients where we lead the architecture coordination, and with homeowners who already have an architect on board.
Residential work is different from commercial work in one important way: the client lives through the project. That means clear communication, tight site control, and a crew that respects an occupied home is as much a part of the service as the quality of the work. We take that seriously.
Typical Projects
- Ground-up custom homes
- Major additions (second story, wings)
- Whole-home renovations
- Kitchen and bathroom remodels
- Post-storm rebuilds and restorations
- Multi-family up to low-rise
- Storm and wind-code upgrades, including 40-year recertification
Scope
What's Included in a Residential Project
A residential general contracting engagement with SDF typically covers the following.
Detailed Estimating
Line-item estimates based on actual Tampa Bay pricing and our long-standing trade relationships. You see what things cost, not a lump sum with no detail.
Design Coordination
We work with your architect or designer, or bring one in through our partner network, so the plans you sign off on are already coordinated with budget, schedule, and constructability.
Permitting & Inspections
We handle permitting with St. Petersburg, Pinellas County, or your specific municipality, coordinate all required inspections, and carry the project through to certificate of occupancy.
Project Management & Scheduling
A dedicated project manager owns your project from kickoff through punch list, with a schedule you can actually see and weekly communication you can count on.
Trade Coordination & Site Supervision
SDF manages every trade on site, from framers to finish carpenters to low-voltage. You have one point of contact for quality, schedule, and problems.
Closeout & Warranty
Punch list, final walk, warranty documentation, and follow-up service. When we hand you the keys, the project is actually done.
Our Process
How a Residential Project Works
Five clear steps from first conversation to final walkthrough.
- 1
Free Consultation
We walk the property, listen to your goals, and talk through rough scope and cost ranges.
- 2
Design & Proposal
A clear, tiered proposal so you know what you're choosing between, not just a single number.
- 3
Contract & Scheduling
A residential-specific contract and a real schedule before anything starts.
- 4
Construction & Communication
The same project-management discipline SDF uses on commercial jobs, applied to your home.
- 5
Walkthrough & Warranty
A final walkthrough before we call it done, and we're still the same company to call afterward.
