What Our Clients Say About Working With Us
EXCELLENT Based on 62 reviews 
We became clients of Elite Builder Renovation after having a bad experience with a previous contractor, who left us high and dry. After interviewing 3 contractors, and doing a thorough background check, we decided to work with Elite. It was the best decision we ever made! Our project was a complete overhaul, gutting and renovating an original 1984 home, from top to bottom. Before we started working together, we came up with a budget and timeline. Our new home was completed on time and on budget. Again - on time AND on budget. We were out of state during most of the work, so daily/weekly updates from Elite was important. Communication was exceptional with our Project Manager, Jay. Whether it was a phone call, daily texts/photo’s, or weekly FaceTime walk-through videos, Jay was constantly giving us updates. The detailed carpentry and tile work done throughout our home, exceeded our expectations. Elite Builder Renovation is honest, professional and reliable. This ‘complete reno’, has been a positive and low stress experience. At the end of the day, Elite, Jay and his team, built us a beautiful home - thank you!!
Jacob and his team are fantastic! They are professional, reliable, and consistently deliver high-quality work. Communication is excellent throughout the entire process, and both projects I've worked on with Jacob were completed on time and within budget. It's refreshing to work with a contractor who follows through on his commitments and takes pride in his work. I highly recommend Jacob and his team for any construction needs!
Jacob and his team did a great job with my garage to ADU conversion! They navigated the complex city permitting process and completed the work in a timely manner – very professional!
I had a very good experience with this company Thank you
We are beyond impressed with the work Elite Builders Renovations did on our rental property bathroom remodel. They completely transformed an outdated, worn-out bathroom into a modern, elegant space that looks absolutely incredible. Every detail, from the tile work to the vanity, fixtures, and overall finish, was completed with exceptional craftsmanship and attention to detail. Throughout the project, the team was professional, reliable, and easy to communicate with. They kept the job site clean, stayed on schedule, and made sure everything was done right. The quality of the finished product exceeded our expectations, and we couldn't be happier with the result. If you're looking for a contractor who takes pride in their work and delivers outstanding results, I highly recommend Elite Builders Renovations. We'll definitely be using them again for future home projects!

How a St Petersburg Flood Rebuild Runs
Five stages, so you always know where the job is.
-
We Get the Water Out
Extraction first, then air movers and dehumidifiers, and soaked materials lifted the same day.
The earlier this starts, the less has to be replaced.
-
Assessment and Moisture Readings
We open up only as far as the water actually went, take readings, and write down what has to come out.
That record is what your insurer wants to see.
-
Your Free Estimate
A written itemized price for the rebuild, scoped against the damage and against your insurance scope where there is one.
-
The Rebuild
Subfloor, drywall, trim, paint, cabinets and tile, by our own crew.
Photos in a group text every day and payment by stage as each one is completed.
-
The Final Walkthrough
We go through every room with you before the last payment.
The workmanship is covered for a year.
FLOOD, STORM AND WATER DAMAGE REBUILDS IN St Petersburg
What a St Petersburg Flood Rebuild Involves
Every job is different depending on how high the water got.
The scope is built around what has to come out, and around your insurance scope if there is one.
St Petersburg keeps its own stormwater floodplain alongside the FEMA maps, so checking only FEMA is checking half of it.
Flood and Storm Damage Rebuild
Drywall, insulation, trim and doors put back by the same crew that took them out, so nobody hands your house to a stranger halfway through.
Floors, Drywall and Trim
The three things water always takes. New subfloor where it is needed, board cut back to a clean line, and trim that matches the rest of the house.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a flood rebuild cost in St Petersburg?
A flood rebuild is priced like any remodel of the same rooms. Across Tampa Bay that generally runs between $15,000 and $75,000, and an extensive whole-house rebuild can pass $200,000.
What moves the number is how high the water got and how much has to come out, not the square footage of the house.
If you are claiming, we price against the insurance scope. The estimate is free either way.
How soon do you need to start?
The same day if we can. Water keeps moving into materials for as long as it sits, so the difference between calling on day one and day four is usually measured in how much drywall and flooring has to come out.
Do you work with my insurance company?
Yes. We document the damage from the first visit with photographs, moisture readings and a written scope, and we price against the insurance scope so the two can be compared line by line.
Can I stay in the house?
Sometimes, depending on how far the water reached and whether the kitchen and a bathroom still work. We tell you honestly at the assessment rather than finding out halfway through.
Do I need a permit for a flood rebuild?
Usually yes once walls, plumbing or electric are involved. St Petersburg runs its own stormwater floodplain alongside the FEMA maps, and the two do not cover the same ground. We check both before we price anything.
Can we change the layout while the walls are open?
This is the best time to do it. The demolition has already happened, so moving a wall or opening the kitchen into the living room costs a fraction of what it would as a standalone job.
