Custom Home Building in Siesta Key

Siesta Key is a barrier island, which means stricter wind code (140 mph design wind speed), required FEMA elevation for waterfront properties, salt-air exposure that demands marine-grade hardware, and tighter permitting from Sarasota County. We use materials and assemblies appropriate for the conditions.

Most Siesta Key waterfront properties sit in FEMA flood zones AE or VE. If your cumulative remodel value exceeds 50% of the home's pre-remodel structure value (excluding land), the entire home must be brought to current flood elevation — often a near-rebuild requirement. We help phase scope to stay below the threshold or plan deliberately for a full rebuild.

Yes. We remodel condos throughout the key, including beachfront and Gulf-front buildings. Condo remodels involve HOA approval, building management coordination, freight elevator scheduling, and noise/work-hour restrictions. We've handled many and know the operational logistics.

For exterior and exposed metals: marine-grade stainless steel (316), bronze, and properly-coated aluminum. For interior cabinetry: humidity-resistant finishes and stainless or marine-rated hardware. For exterior finishes: cement board siding, stucco, and high-performance paints designed for coastal environments.

Yes. Given FEMA elevation requirements on most Siesta Key waterfront, full tear-down and rebuild often makes more economic sense than substantial remodeling. We handle the full project from existing-home demolition through ground-up custom construction.
