We're a design-build company, so one team handles your project from the first design sketch to the final walkthrough. You're not juggling a designer, a contractor, and a handful of subs who point fingers when something goes wrong. We've been remodeling homes across Tampa Bay for over 15 years, we're fully licensed (CGC1535727) and insured, and we back our work with a written 2-Year Workmanship Warranty. Most of our new projects come from past clients and their referrals, which tells you how we like to leave a job.
We have over 15 years of experience remodeling kitchens, bathrooms, and whole homes throughout Tampa Bay. That experience shows up in the details: realistic timelines, clean job sites, and fewer surprises once the walls open up.
Yes. Salt & Pepper is a licensed Florida general contractor (CGC1535727), and we carry full liability and workers' compensation insurance. Our subcontractors are licensed and insured too, so you're protected at every stage of the project.
Yes, all of them. As your licensed Florida general contractor (CGC1535727), we pull every required permit and coordinate every inspection with the city or county. You won't fill out a form, stand in line, or wait on hold. Permitting is part of the job, and it's our job.
We work throughout the Tampa Bay area, including Tampa, Clearwater, St. Petersburg, and Sarasota. If you're not sure whether you're in our service area, give us a call at (813) 536-5344 and we'll let you know.
Kitchens, bathrooms, home additions, and full home remodels. Whether it's a single bathroom refresh or reworking the layout of your whole first floor, we can help you plan it and build it.
Yes, and we handle the part most homeowners dread: the building. We manage HOA and condo board approvals, provide the insurance certificates your association requires, and work within building rules like elevator reservations and permitted work hours. You enjoy the design decisions and we handle the paperwork.
It starts with a free design consultation. We'll talk through your goals, budget, and timeline, take a look at your space, and map out the next steps. From there we move into design, material selections, and a detailed proposal. Book a Free Design Consultation and we'll take it from there.
Absolutely. As a design-build team, design is part of what we do. We'll help you shape the layout, choose finishes and fixtures that fit your style and budget, and make sure everything works together before construction starts.
Your project is led by a dedicated project manager who knows every detail and serves as your single point of contact. Our crews and licensed, insured subcontractors are teams we've worked with for years. We know exactly who's in your home, and so will you.
You'll have a dedicated project manager, one person who knows every detail of your project and is your single point of contact from the first day of construction to the final walkthrough. Questions, schedule updates, decisions that come up along the way: one call or text, one person, a straight answer.
It depends on the project. As a rough guide, most bathrooms take a few weeks, and kitchens take a bit longer once cabinetry and countertops are involved. We'll give you a realistic schedule with your proposal and keep you updated as we go.
In most cases, yes. For a single bathroom or kitchen project, we do our best to keep the rest of your home livable and clean while we work. We'll talk through what to expect for your specific project so there are no surprises.
In many cases, yes. Some clients have a specific tub, light fixture, or appliance they've fallen in love with, and we're happy to install owner-supplied items where it makes sense. Two things to know upfront: our workmanship warranty covers our installation, but owner-supplied products carry only their manufacturer's warranty, and if a supplied item arrives late or damaged, the schedule impact falls outside our control. We'll flag any concerns during design so there are no surprises.
Changes happen, and we handle them with a simple written change order that spells out any cost or schedule impact before we proceed. You stay in control of the budget the whole way through.
It happens. Older Tampa Bay homes hide things like outdated plumbing, past water damage, or wood rot, and nobody can see through drywall. Here's our promise: if we uncover something, we stop, show it to you, and document it. You get a written change order with the cost and schedule impact before any additional work happens. You'll never open a final invoice and find charges you didn't approve.
Yes. We design around what makes your home yours, whether that means matching existing trim and character or bringing a dated space up to date while keeping it consistent with the rest of the house.
Absolutely. Browse our project gallery to see recent kitchens, bathrooms, and whole-home remodels across Tampa Bay, and we're happy to connect you with past clients in your area. Most of our business comes from referrals, so our best advertising is the people we've already built for.
Yes. We take pride in every project we complete, and we stand behind our craftsmanship. That's why every qualifying Salt & Pepper Design & Construction project includes a written 2-Year Workmanship Warranty. If a covered issue is caused by our workmanship, our team will inspect it and make the necessary correction at no additional cost. Applicable manufacturer warranties on materials, fixtures, appliances, and equipment are provided separately.
Because completing your project isn't the end of our commitment. It's the beginning of your peace of mind. We stand behind our work, and the written warranty is our promise that we'll be there if you ever need us.
Simply. Call or email us, describe what you're seeing, and we'll schedule a visit to take a look. If it's covered under our 2-Year Workmanship Warranty, we fix it, with no runaround and no fine print gymnastics. Our warranty only means something if it's easy to use, and we've built our reputation on standing behind our work.
Our design-build process is built for full remodels, with bathrooms starting around $15,000 and kitchens around $25,000. If your project is smaller than that, we're probably not the right fit, and we'd rather tell you that in one phone call than waste your time. Not sure which side of the line you're on? Call us and we'll give you a straight answer.

We believe in transparent pricing and realistic expectations.
Bathroom Remodeling: projects start at $15,000, with a typical investment of approximately $24,000.
Kitchen Remodeling: projects start at $25,000, with a typical investment of approximately $38,000.
Final pricing depends on project size, scope, layout changes, material selections, permitting, and existing conditions. We'll walk you through all of it before any work begins.
Two bathrooms that look the same on the surface can cost very differently once you factor in layout changes, plumbing moves, tile and fixture selections, and what we find after we open things up (old wiring, water damage, and so on). That's why we give you a detailed quote once we understand your space, not a guess over the phone.
Yes. We've partnered with a home improvement lender so you can finance some or all of your project with convenient monthly payments. Ask about financing options during your free design consultation and we'll walk you through what's available and help you find terms that fit your budget.
Less than you might expect. We ask for a modest deposit, typically 10% or less, to secure your project on our schedule. The rest is billed as we hit clearly defined milestones, so your payments always track with completed work. You should never be paying a remodeler far ahead of the work being done, and with us, you won't be.
Yes. Your design consultation is free. It's where we learn about your project, look at your space, and give you a clear picture of scope and cost. Book a Free Design Consultation to get started.
We provide a written proposal up front with the scope and price laid out. Payments are tied to project milestones, so you always know what you're paying for and when.
