Want Top Dollar? These 5 Remodels by Southtide Construction Instantly Boost Your Sarasota Home’s Value

Thinking of selling your Sarasota home—or just ready to love it again? Strategic remodeling is the key to increasing value and improving your day-to-day lifestyle. At Southtide Construction, we specialize in custom remodeling solutions that reflect the coastal charm and elevated taste Sarasota buyers expect.

From full home remodels to targeted kitchen, bath, and outdoor transformations, here are the five top remodels that bring serious return on investment—and some serious wow factor.

1. Kitchen Makeovers That Close Deals 🍽️

A well-designed kitchen sells homes. With buyers looking for open layouts and elevated finishes, this is where your remodel dollars go the farthest.

Popular features Southtide brings to Sarasota kitchens:

• Quartz or natural stone countertops
• Custom cabinetry with soft-close drawers
• Oversized islands with seating
• Coastal-inspired backsplash tile
• Integrated lighting and hidden outlets

💡 ROI Insight: In the Sarasota market, a mid-range kitchen remodel can recoup up to 80% of its cost—and it’s often what buyers remember most after a showing.

2. Bathrooms That Feel Like a Spa Retreat 🛁

Buyers (and homeowners) love a bathroom that feels indulgent but practical. We design spaces that maximize both luxury and function, right down to the smallest detail.

Features Sarasota homeowners are asking for:

• Frameless glass walk-in showers
• Freestanding soaking tubs
• Floating vanities with underlighting
• Polished nickel or matte black fixtures
• Durable, large-format coastal tile

✨ Design tip: Upgrading even just your guest bathroom can create a strong impression without a full gut remodel.

3. Open Floor Plans That Feel Bigger and Brighter

Sarasota buyers want natural light and easy flow between living spaces. Many older homes in our area were built with separate formal rooms—Southtide helps rework those layouts to fit modern Florida lifestyles.

Why this remodel works:

• Removes visual and physical barriers
• Creates space for larger furniture or entertaining
• Increases perceived square footage
• Feels more coastal and contemporary

🏠 Southtide difference: We re-engineer your layout without compromising structure or resale value—and handle permitting and code updates every step of the way.

4. Curb Appeal That Stops Traffic 🌴

In real estate, first impressions matter—and fast. Updating the exterior can dramatically increase perceived value even before buyers step inside.

Southtide’s favorite exterior upgrades:

• Smooth stucco and fresh coastal paint colors
• Bold front door and statement lighting
• Modern garage door with clean lines
• Tropical landscaping with irrigation
• Covered front porches or pergolas

🎨 Style note: Sarasota buyers love soft whites, seafoam greens, and pops of navy or coral on the front door.

5. Outdoor Living That Defines the Florida Lifestyle ☀️

In Sarasota, outdoor spaces are more than a bonus—they’re an expectation. Southtide helps you expand usable square footage and create areas that feel like an everyday getaway.

Top-requested features:

• Covered lanais with fans and lighting
• Summer kitchens with built-in grills
• Custom paver patios and fire features
• Outdoor showers (a true Florida favorite)
• Motorized screens and bug-resistant enclosures

🌊 What buyers see: Extra lifestyle space they can enjoy immediately, without having to build it themselves.
