Top Remodeling Questions Our Tampa Clients Ask — Answered

Remodeling your home is a big decision—and naturally, homeowners across Tampa Bay have questions before diving in. At Accel Construction, we believe informed clients make the best decisions. That’s why we’re answering the most common questions we hear from homeowners planning a renovation.

1. How long will my remodel take?

Every project is unique, but most Tampa remodels (depending on scope) take between 2 weeks and 3 months. Factors like permitting, materials availability, and weather (especially during hurricane season) can affect timelines.

👉 Tip: Ask for a detailed timeline up front—and expect some flexibility.

2. How much should I budget?

Costs vary based on size, finishes, and complexity. A bathroom remodel might start around $15,000–$30,000, while full-home renovations often exceed $100,000. Always include a 10-20% contingency fund for surprises.

👉 Tip: A detailed quote from a trusted Tampa contractor keeps you on track.

3. Do I need permits?

Yes—for most remodels involving plumbing, electrical, or structural changes. Tampa Bay has strict permitting rules to ensure safety and code compliance.

👉 Tip: Work with a contractor who handles permitting for you.

4. Can I stay in my home during the remodel?

For smaller projects (like a bathroom or kitchen refresh), usually yes—with some inconvenience. For larger renovations, we may recommend temporary relocation for safety and comfort.

 👉 Tip: Plan ahead for how you’ll manage day-to-day living during the project.

5. What trends work best in Florida homes?

Light, airy designs—think coastal neutrals, durable materials (like luxury vinyl plank), and open layouts—are both timeless and practical for our climate.

👉Tip: Choose trends that suit Tampa’s humidity and natural light.

6. What’s the design-build advantage?

A design-build approach (like ours at Accel Construction) means one team handles everything—from planning and permitting to construction and final finishes. This streamlines communication, reduces delays, and helps you stay on budget.

 👉 Tip: Ask how your contractor ensures project coordination.
