Brothers Remodelers provides residential remodeling and general contracting services for homeowners on Longboat Key, Florida, and throughout Sarasota County — from kitchen and bathroom remodels to home additions, whole-home renovations and concrete work.
Quick answer
Brothers Remodelers is a licensed residential remodeling and general contracting company serving homeowners on Longboat Key, a barrier island spanning the Sarasota–Manatee county line in Florida. Services include kitchen remodeling, bathroom remodeling, home additions, whole-home remodeling, concrete work, and general contracting. Longboat Key homeowners get a dedicated superintendent on site, written line-item proposals, and full permit coordination — including coastal construction, flood-zone and wind-rated glazing requirements.
What we build
Six core disciplines, one licensed contractor. Every Longboat Key project runs under the same standard: a written scope, a live schedule and a superintendent on site.
From updating kitchens in older condominiums and single-family homes to full rebuilds of waterfront properties, we sequence every trade so the busiest room comes back online on schedule — with corrosion-resistant fixtures and wind-rated assemblies where the exposure requires them.
Kitchen Remodeling detailsGut renovations that start behind the tile: rebuilt wet walls, waterproofing membranes, curbless showers and ventilation sized to code. Salt air and humidity make the assembly under the tile matter as much as the tile itself.
Bathroom Remodeling detailsElevated additions and second stories on barrier-island homes — engineered to coastal wind code, flood-zone elevation and the existing foundation, then tied into the roof and mechanicals.
Home Additions detailsOne contract for a full interior renovation: floors, kitchens, baths, lighting and mechanical updates sequenced as a single project instead of a string of separate jobs.
Whole-Home Remodeling detailsPermit filings with the town of Longboat Key and coastal review, trade procurement, daily supervision and closeout documentation — one accountable contractor from budgeting through final sign-off.
General Contracting detailsFootings, slabs, driveways and pool-deck concrete with documented mix designs and tested pours — including the elevation and drainage details that keep barrier-island slab work sound.
Concrete Services detailsWhy remodel
Longboat Key housing ranges from original 1960s–1980s condos and homes to new waterfront construction, much of it within the coastal construction zone. Most remodels we see trace back to a handful of practical needs.
Closed-off layouts, worn finishes and limited counter space are the most common starting points we see. Opening a kitchen to the living area and adding storage changes how the whole house works.
Aging waterproofing, poor ventilation and dated fixtures are functional problems, not just cosmetic ones. A gut renovation fixes all three in one project.
A growing household or a work-from-home routine often needs another room. An addition keeps the location, the schools and the equity already built into the house.
Removing a wall, widening a passage or reworking a hallway can make an existing floor plan feel like a different house — without adding a single square foot.
Replacing worn flooring, upgrading lighting and circuits, and updating trim and finishes bring an older interior current in one coordinated pass.
Combining a kitchen, baths and new floors into one renovation means one schedule, one superintendent and trades mobilized once — usually faster and cheaper than three separate jobs.
Service area
Longboat Key is a barrier island that spans the Sarasota–Manatee county line, north of Lido Key and St. Armands, with the town of Longboat Key governing most of the island. Our Sarasota County service area covers the mainland communities and the barrier islands.
Because Longboat Key is an incorporated town, permitting is handled by the town of Longboat Key, and most substantial work also falls under coastal construction control lines, flood-zone elevation and wind-rated glazing rules. We file correctly the first time and coordinate every inspection along the way.

We also maintain dedicated city pages for Sarasota, Siesta Key, Lakewood Ranch, Venice, North Port, Lido Key, Fruitville, Bee Ridge, University Park, Osprey, Laurel, Nokomis, South Venice, Warm Mineral Springs and Englewood.
Plan the project
A successful remodel is decided before demolition starts. These are the eight things we tell every homeowner to work through — with us or with any contractor.
A written scope states what is included and what is not. It keeps bids comparable and prevents mid-project surprises.
A line-item proposal with stated allowances is easier to evaluate than a single bottom line. Ask what is fixed price and what is allowance-based.
Cabinetry, stone and glazing carry the longest lead times. Locking selections early is the single best way to protect a schedule.
Structural, electrical, plumbing and glazing work typically requires permits. Agree in writing on who files them and who is present for inspections.
If you are staying in the house during work, confirm dust containment, floor protection and daily cleanup before the contract is signed.
A weekly schedule, photo updates and a named person who answers the phone keep a renovation predictable.
Ask what happens when something behind a wall changes the work. A written, priced change order before work proceeds is the honest answer.
Municipal inspection windows and material lead times shape the calendar more than labor does. Ask for an outline schedule that accounts for both.
How it works
We walk the house, listen to what you want to change, and talk honestly about budget and sequence.
A superintendent measures, photographs and flags existing conditions — structure, plumbing, electrical and moisture.
Layouts, finish selections and long-lead items are locked into a written scope before anything is demolished.
A line-item fixed-price proposal with allowances stated plainly, usually within five business days.
A dedicated superintendent runs the site with a live schedule, weekly photo updates and protected work areas.
Sign-offs, punch list, warranty documents and a clean handover you can move into.

FAQ
Brothers Remodelers provides kitchen remodeling, bathroom remodeling, home additions, whole-home remodeling, concrete services, and general contracting for homeowners in Longboat Key and the surrounding Sarasota County area. Every project begins with a free site walkthrough and a written line-item proposal.
Remodeling cost depends on the scope, size, materials and condition of the home, so we do not quote numbers before seeing the space. After a walkthrough you receive a line-item fixed-price proposal with allowances stated for owner-selected finishes, which makes bids easy to compare on equal terms.
Duration varies with the scope: a single bathroom typically runs a few weeks, while a whole-home renovation runs several months once permits are approved. Your proposal includes an outline schedule that accounts for material lead times and the town of Longboat Key inspection windows.
Many structural, electrical, plumbing and window or door replacement projects require permits, filed with the town of Longboat Key. Brothers Remodelers coordinates applications, plans and inspections, and keeps the permit board current on site.
Yes. As a Florida certified general contractor, we act as the single point of accountability — permits, trade procurement, daily supervision, inspections and closeout documentation. You are not left coordinating plumbers, electricians and carpenters yourself.
Yes. Whole-home renovations are a core part of our work. Running a kitchen, baths and flooring as one coordinated project means one schedule, one superintendent and trades sequenced once instead of mobilized separately.
Call us or submit the quote form on this page. We schedule a free site walkthrough, then send a written line-item proposal with an outline schedule, usually within five business days.
