Kitchens, Baths, Additions, and More

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

Full-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 Reimagine your floor plan, upgrade outdated systems, and create cohesive design throughout.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 lets you expand your living area and turn unused spaces into rooms your family actually uses, without the cost and stress of moving.

Popular projects include:

  • Converting garages or unused rooms into home offices, flex spaces, or guest suites
  • Building full home additions for new bedrooms, bonus areas, or expanded living rooms
  • Finishing or converting attic and bonus-room spaces into comfortable, climate-controlled living areas
  • Creating in-law suites or private guest quarters with optional separate entrances


We guide you through the entire process, including connecting you with trusted structural engineers when needed, and help you navigate permitting, inspections, and Bay County’s building requirements. The end result is an addition that fits your home, meets local code, and feels like it’s always been there.

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 develops a detailed plan tailored to your vision. You’ll have a clear understanding of how your finished space will come together, from material selections to the finer details like fixtures and finishes. We present multiple options, walk you through the pros and cons, and refine everything until you’re confident moving forward. Every plan is built with Florida Building Code and permit requirements in mind from the start..

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 is built with precision and backed by the peace of mind that comes from quality craftsmanship and dependable materials.

Permits and Local Requirements Across the Florida Panhandle

Panama City and other Bay County municipalities in the Florida Panhandle require 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 the Florida Panhandle permitting process keeps things moving without unnecessary delays.

Flood Zones, Impact Windows, and the 50% Rule

Florida has some of the toughest building codes in the country, many of which strengthened after Hurricane Andrew, which means homes here must withstand pressures and weather conditions far more demanding than in most states. Those requirements directly impact how remodels are designed, engineered, and permitted throughout the Panhandle.

  • Flood Zones: Much of the region 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: Florida Building Code requires impact-rated openings for most substantial renovations. These products are engineered to withstand hurricane-force winds and flying debris, and we install approved systems that meet today’s enhanced standards.
  • The 50% Rule: If your renovation costs exceed 50% of your home’s market value, the structure must be brought into current flood-compliance requirements. This can significantly affect project scope and budget. We evaluate this during planning so you know what to expect upfront.

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: Every 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

Some materials, like custom cabinetry, special-order finishes, and premium appliances, require longer lead times than standard items. We identify those early, place orders at the right stage, and build your schedule around realistic delivery windows and your county’s busy construction seasons.

James Hill of Truvorne was exceptional. He came to write an estimate on property that some might shy away from. He was on time and very professional. The estimate was through and fair. We will definitely employ them in the near future. I highly recommend Truvorne.

Very prompt response and visit from Ryan who got the ball rolling quickly to make sure the project was solved in a timely manner. Then the lead team member Kyle was adept at accessing the means to attack and fix the situation. Both men seemed to care about the most positive outcome for my home and the final result. Would recommend them to anyone.

Ryan Brandenburg was on time and finished within an hour! This attic problem was an issue other companies turned down. Kris called me back and was understanding and wanted to help. He coordinated the project which was completed the next morning! Thank you Truvorne.

Same day response to assess my mold issue, and advise on all aspects of, what turned out to be, a multi step, lengthy process. Workers showed up ready to work every day, on schedule. Courteous and thorough. Shawn Jensen great to work with.

The team arrived promptly, well-equipped, and fully prepared for the scope of work. Communication was excellent from scheduling through completion—they kept the store management informed and minimized any disruption to daily operations. The technicians were professional, courteous, and clearly experienced with retail/commercial environments. They worked efficiently, paid close attention to detail, and left the space cleaner than they found it. All tasks were completed to a high standard, and they took the time to explain what was done and any follow-up recommendations. Huge thanks from the T-mobile team!!!

TLDR: Highly Recommend. I'll try to make this as brief as I can, but there's a lot to unpack. Had a water leak in an upstairs bathroom which quickly turned into mold damage affecting 1 of three bathrooms, my downstairs hallway and another bedroom. Called two companies to give me quotes, only Truvorne reminded me to check with my Home Insurance (Thanks Shawn!). As a first time homeowner, the willingness to give me actual advice made all the difference. Over the course of the next 8 months, including an international move, the Truvorne team was always there, keeping the process moving forward smoothly. Special kudos to Shawn, Aaron, Lauren, and Ryan for always keeping the communication active and for helping me manage the chaos while I lived out of the country. They also provided pictures of every stage of the work being performed so I could easily keep track of the house. I did get a chance to personally review all of the work that was done, and I'm 100% impressed. Great teamwork, excellent people, and quality business. I never felt like I was getting scammed or that big corporations were pulling the strings. 10/10 would recommend every time.

Needed help with a nasty sewer back up in a condo recently purchased. Shawn and all the folks at Truvorne were absolutely amazing. Got in there and quickly, efficiently and most cost effectively resolved the issue. Thanks so much Shawn for all the help and wisdom!

Permits, Timelines, Budgets: Quick Answers

Most remodeling work requires permits, including kitchens, bathrooms, additions, electrical changes, plumbing modifications, and structural work. Minor cosmetic updates may not. During your consultation, we’ll review your project scope and confirm exactly what’s required so everything is completed to code and meets local regulations.

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

Timelines vary depending on the size of the renovation, materials selected, structural requirements, and the permitting process in your county. After reviewing your project, we’ll provide a realistic schedule based on actual conditions and keep you updated if anything changes along the way.

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 for unforeseen issues
  • Value engineering to reduce costs without sacrificing quality
  • Proactive communication when unexpected issues arise
