We handle the full range of residential remodeling work. If it’s part of your home, we can improve it.

Whole-Home Renovations

Planning to update your entire house? We coordinate everything so you don’t have to juggle multiple contractors. Reimagine your floor plan, upgrade outdated systems, and create cohesive design throughout.

Kitchen Remodeling

Your kitchen should work as hard as you do. We build kitchens designed around real life, better flow, smart storage, durable materials that hold up to coastal humidity, and proper ventilation for our climate.

Bathroom Remodeling

From powder rooms to primary suites, we create bathrooms that combine style with functionality. Walk-in showers, heated floors, ventilation systems that prevent mold. We can work within your existing footprint or reconfigure walls entirely.

Room Additions & Conversions

Need more space but love your location? Adding square footage or converting underused areas gives you room to grow without the hassle of moving.

Popular projects include:

  • Converting garages into home offices or guest suites
  • Adding second-story additions for extra bedrooms
  • Finishing bonus rooms above garages
  • Creating in-law suites with separate entrances

We handle all structural engineering, permitting, and code compliance so your addition integrates seamlessly with your existing home.

Outdoor Living Spaces

Outdoor spaces are extensions of your home nearly year-round. We design and build covered patios, outdoor kitchens, screened enclosures, and pool decks. All built to withstand hurricane-force winds and meet local wind load requirements.

Our Design & Build Process

We've refined our process to eliminate surprises and keep your project moving forward smoothly. Here's how it works.

We learn what matters most to you, your lifestyle, must-haves, budget, and timing. We’ll evaluate your home’s condition, identify any structural or code issues, and discuss how flood zone regulations might impact your plans.

Our team creates detailed plans that bring your vision to life. You’ll see exactly what your finished space will look like, down to cabinet hardware and light fixtures. We present multiple design options, explain the pros and cons, and refine everything until you’re excited to move forward. All designs account for Florida Building Code and permit requirements upfront.

Once permits are pulled and materials ordered, our crews get to work. We protect your home during construction, maintain clean work areas, and keep you updated on progress. Every project includes a comprehensive warranty covering workmanship and materials.

Permits and Local Requirements in Panama City

Panama City requires permits for most remodeling work, and for good reason. Proper permitting ensures your renovation meets structural, electrical, and plumbing codes that protect your safety and property value.

We handle the entire permitting process for you. This includes:

  • Preparing and submitting permit applications
  • Coordinating required inspections
  • Addressing any questions from the building department
  • Ensuring all work passes final inspection

Our familiarity with Bay County’s permitting process keeps things moving without unnecessary delays.

Flood Zones, Impact Windows, and the 50% Rule

If you live here, you've heard these terms. Here's what they mean for your remodel.
  • Flood Zones: Much of the area falls within FEMA-designated flood zones. We design renovations that comply with base flood elevation (BFE) requirements and protect your home from water damage.
  • Impact Windows and Doors: Required by Florida Building Code for new construction and major renovations, these protect your home during hurricanes and can lower insurance premiums. We install certified products that meet Miami-Dade standards.
  • The 50% Rule: If renovation costs exceed 50% of your home’s market value, you must bring the entire structure into current flood compliance. This significantly impacts scope and budget.

We evaluate all three factors during your consultation and build compliance costs into your estimate upfront. No surprises halfway through.

Pricing & Planning Made Simple

Renovation costs vary based on project scope, materials, and site conditions. Here’s what influences your investment.

What Drives Cost and Timeline

  • Project complexity: Structural changes, plumbing, and electrical work cost more than cosmetic updates
  • Material selection: Builder-grade versus custom cabinets, laminate versus quartz — your choices significantly impact final costs
  • Site conditions: Older homes often reveal hidden issues like outdated wiring or water damage
  • Permit timing: Bay County’s permitting schedule varies. We build realistic timelines that account for approvals and inspections

How We Keep Projects on Budget

  • Detailed upfront estimates itemized by category
  • Realistic allowances for finishes and fixtures
  • Regular financial updates throughout the project
  • Written change orders for any scope modifications

Materials, Lead Times, and Scheduling

Custom cabinets take 8-12 weeks. Special-order tile needs 6-8 weeks. High-end appliances take even longer. We order long-lead items early and build realistic schedules that account for busy construction seasons.

Why Homeowners in Panama City Choose Truvorne

You have options when it comes to remodeling contractors. Here's what sets us apart.

Code-Smart, Climate-Ready Builds

Coastal construction demands materials and techniques that withstand humidity, salt air, hurricanes, and flooding. We use moisture-resistant materials, proper ventilation, and building methods designed for Florida's challenges. Every project meets or exceeds Florida Building Code requirements.

Flexible Financing Options

We partner with financing providers who specialize in home improvement loans. Ask about current options during your consultation.

Permits, Timelines, Budgets: Quick Answers

Most remodeling work requires Bay County permits — kitchens, bathrooms, room additions, electrical, plumbing, and structural changes. Minor work like painting or flooring typically doesn’t. We’ll clarify what’s needed during your consultation.

Skipping permits creates problems: unpermitted work must be disclosed when selling, can void insurance, and may require expensive corrections later.

  • Bathroom remodel: 3-5 weeks (standard), 6-8 weeks (gut renovation)
  • Kitchen remodel: 6-10 weeks
  • Room addition: 3-6 months
  • Whole-home renovation: 4-8 months

Permitting adds 2-4 weeks before construction begins.

If renovation costs exceed 50% of your home’s market value, you must bring the entire structure into current flood compliance. This can mean elevating your home, installing flood vents, and other expensive upgrades.

We calculate whether your project triggers this rule during planning and discuss compliance options and costs upfront.

Florida Building Code requires them for most new construction and substantial renovations. They protect your home during hurricanes and often reduce insurance premiums by 10-20%. We install certified products meeting current requirements.

  • Detailed line-item estimates showing exactly where your money goes
  • Realistic contingencies (10-15%) for unforeseen issues
  • Value engineering to reduce costs without sacrificing quality
  • Proactive communication when unexpected issues arise
