Full Home Restoration & Remodel

Holmes Beach, FL

Project Overview

Led by Vertical General Contracting, this residential renovation involved a full interior and exterior restoration following severe hurricane damage. The 1,776-square-foot home was rebuilt from the studs up, featuring new insulation, drywall, flooring, trim, cabinetry, and mechanical upgrades. The kitchen ceiling was opened up to enhance spatial flow and natural light, while updated HVAC and electrical systems improved comfort and efficiency. A complete exterior repaint rounded out the transformation, returning the property to a fresh, modern, and move-in-ready condition.
