Summary I’m a local contractor with Jack O’ Trades, serving Tampa Bay bathrooms since 2005. I’ve painted and remodeled baths across Riverview, Brandon, and wider Hillsborough County. Our humidity, water quality, and light are different than what you see in national magazines. That means a color that works in Phoenix or Boston can look flat, […]
Summary Introduction I’m Logan Steege, a licensed residential contractor and the founder of Jack O’ Trades. I’ve been renovating homes across Tampa Bay since 2005—South Tampa bungalows, Carrollwood ranch houses, Town ‘N’ Country block construction, Pinellas condos, and coastal properties that ride out salt air and storm season. I work in occupied homes and full […]
A South Tampa couple’s master bathroom remodel started with a leaking valve and a stack of bids. The questions they asked before signing the contract changed what the project ended up costing and how long it took.
A Seminole Heights bedroom repaint, a cloudy second coat, and the small handful of tools — most of them under $25 — that decide whether interior paint actually holds up in Tampa humidity.

Paint choices here don’t live in a vacuum. We have bright Gulf light, strong afternoon glare, and humidity that punishes the wrong finish. That changes how color and sheen behave day […]
Summary Introduction I work on homes across Tampa every week. I see people weigh a new kitchen against a new address, or a second bath against a longer commute. The question looks simple, but around here the weather, insurance, flood maps, and building quirks turn it into a real decision with layers. From what I’ve […]
A Riverview couple had estimates for new kitchen cabinets and countertops ranging from $9,800 to $15,400. Here is how they compared HELOC, personal loan, contractor financing, and credit cards — and what they decided.
A South Tampa vanity job that shows what cabinet painting actually involves in a Tampa bathroom: substrate calls, humidity control, product choice, and the timing decisions that separate a finish that holds for years from one that fails in a season.
In February, Maria Delgado had a perfectly reasonable plan: remodel her Tampa kitchen before listing the house in spring. New countertops, a fresh backsplash, maybe updated cabinet hardware. She budgeted $8,000 and started calling contractors. The first one never called back. The second showed up 40 minutes late, spent most of the visit on his […]
