Carrollwood General Contractor and Restoration

Building and Restoring Homes in Carrollwood

Carrollwood is one of North Tampa's first real planned communities, and it shows in the housing. As a general contractor and restoration company working here, we spend most of our days inside homes that went up between the early 1970s and the 1990s, the ranch and traditional styles that fill Carrollwood Village and the neighborhoods spreading out from Lake Carroll. These are solid houses on good lots, but a forty or fifty year old home reaches a point where the kitchen, the baths and the floor plan no longer fit how a family actually lives. That is most of what people call us about.

The work splits two ways. A lot of it is updating, opening a closed off kitchen, gutting a dated bathroom, dropping a wall between the living and dining rooms so the place breathes. The other half is adding square footage, a primary suite off the back, a second story, a bigger garage, a family room where a patio used to be. Carrollwood lots are generous enough that an addition usually pencils out, and the established setbacks and mature landscaping mean we plan around old oaks and existing drainage instead of bulldozing the character that drew people to the neighborhood in the first place.

Because Onsite is a builder and a damage restoration company at the same time, a Carrollwood homeowner is never stuck calling around when a pipe lets go or a storm drops a limb through the roof. The same crew that frames an addition can dry out a soaked room, treat the mold and rebuild it. For a mature home with original plumbing and decades of additions layered on, having one contractor who already knows the house matters.

The tree cover that makes Carrollwood beautiful is also what makes it vulnerable. Heavy summer storms and the occasional tropical system push big oak and laurel limbs onto roofs, and once the roof is breached the water finds its way down through ceilings and walls fast. Older homes here often still run their original cast iron drains and copper supply lines, and after forty plus years those lines crack and leak behind cabinets and slabs where nobody sees it until the mold shows up. Low spots near Lake Carroll and the older drainage ditches can also back up during a hard downpour. If wind, water, fire or a hidden leak has gotten into your Carrollwood home, call us. We will stabilize the property, stop the damage from spreading and rebuild what got ruined.
