Home Improvements in Tampa, FL — One Licensed Contractor for the Whole House

Logan Steege has been the licensed Tampa home improvement contractor on file at Jack O' Trades since 2005 (FL CRC 1330291) — and runs every project himself. A single kitchen, a bathroom remodel, a deck rebuild, a punch list before listing, a whole-home refresh. Real numbers in writing, real photos of real Tampa homes, and one phone number for the whole project.

What Counts As A Home Improvement

It's a wider spectrum than most Tampa homeowners realize.

The phrase "home improvement" covers everything from a $300 repair to a $300,000 addition. Most contractors play at one extreme. Real homeowners live in the middle — they want a clean bath remodel, a kitchen refresh, a deck rebuild, the punch list cleared before the open house. That middle is what we do every day.

  • Kitchens, bathrooms, vanities, tile
  • Finish carpentry — crown, built-ins, barn doors
  • Interior paint, ceilings, flooring
  • Outdoor — decks, fences, soffits, screen enclosures
  • Aging-in-place & accessibility upgrades
  • Pre-listing punch lists for Tampa real estate sales

Florida Law

Why a licensed contractor matters in Tampa.

The $2,500 rule.

Florida law caps unlicensed handyman work at $2,500 per project — labor and materials combined. Anything over that needs a licensed contractor. Permitted work — additions, structural, electrical, plumbing, mechanical, roofing — needs a license at any dollar amount.

Jack O' Trades holds Florida Certified Residential Contractor license CRC 1330291 since 2005. Logan personally pulls every permit and signs every quote. More on Tampa licensing.

Meet Logan

One Tampa contractor for the whole house.

I'm Logan Steege. I have held a Florida Certified Residential Contractor license (CRC 1330291) since 2005 and have run Jack O' Trades the same way the whole time — I quote every job personally, run the schedule, and put one warranty across the whole project.

The team that does the cabinet paint is the team that does the trim. The team that does the trim is the team that pulls the permit. That is why one home improvement project can include a kitchen, a bath, paint, floors, and a punch list — and still close on a single date with a single warranty.

If you have a Tampa home improvement project in mind, call me. (813) 679-5657.

FAQs

Straight answers from a licensed contractor.

What's the difference between a home improvement contractor and a handyman in Florida?

A handyman in Florida is capped at $2,500 per job and cannot do permitted work. A licensed home improvement contractor (CRC 1330291) is allowed to pull permits, do structural work, and take projects of any size. More on Tampa licensing.

How much does a typical home improvement project cost in Tampa?

Single-room paint + drywall $1,200–$3,500. Bath remodel $9,000–$22,000. Kitchen remodel $18,000–$55,000. Composite deck $6,000–$14,000. Whole-home refresh $25,000–$70,000. Punch list day $400–$1,200.

Do I need a permit for home improvements in Tampa, FL?

Most structural, electrical, plumbing, mechanical, and roofing work needs a permit. Cosmetic work — paint, flooring, trim, cabinet painting — usually does not. Because we are licensed, we pull every permit the project actually needs.

How long does a home improvement project take?

Punch list day: 1 day. Single-room refresh: 3–7 days. Bath remodel: 2–4 weeks. Kitchen remodel: 4–8 weeks. Whole-home refresh: 6–10 weeks. Permits and lead times can add 1–4 weeks up front.

Do you work on older Tampa homes (Hyde Park, Seminole Heights)?

Yes. Older Tampa neighborhoods are a big part of our work — plaster walls, dated wiring, original windows, wood subfloors, soffit work. We scribe trim to wavy walls and respect the character of the home while bringing systems up to code.

Can you handle multiple home improvement projects at once?

Yes. Most whole-home refreshes roll kitchen, bath, paint, and flooring into one schedule with one contractor. We sequence the trades so the house stays livable and the project closes on a single date.

What's the best season for outdoor home improvements in Tampa?

Late fall through spring is the dry season — best time for decks, exterior paint, soffit, and screen enclosures. We build year round, but summer projects plan around afternoon thunderstorms and humidity-driven scheduling.

Do you offer financing for larger home improvement projects?

Yes. Third-party financing partners with 0% promotional terms and longer-term home improvement loans for qualified Tampa homeowners. Options walked through during the quote conversation.
