SOUTHTIDE SERVICE AREAS
From the Gulf Coast to Gainesville.
Custom homes, residential renovations, and commercial build-outs for the places Floridians live and work. Southtide’s roots connect the Gulf Coast with Gainesville and North Central Florida.
By the tide, by the lake, or near the springs—we care about creating a home that fits your life and its surroundings.

FIND YOUR REGION
Two Florida regions. One personal approach.
Start with your region, then explore the local page for your community. If you’re nearby and don’t see your town, send us your address and project ideas so we can talk through the fit.
A HOME THAT FITS ITS PLACE
The location shapes the project.
A coastal renovation and a home beneath Gainesville’s oaks start with different surroundings. We look at the existing structure, your homesite, how you’ll use the home, and the practical details that need attention before construction begins.
Remodel & restore
Update kitchens and bathrooms, rework a layout, or renovate the whole home while retaining the details you love.

Featured Project Testimonials
Attention-to-detail is John's middle name and it shows in his craftsmanship. Even the small details like cleaning as he worked and never leaving a mess behind was another amazing aspect of why he is one of the best we've ever worked with.



The Southtide ✦TIDE Process
Four clear phases guide every Southtide project, whether it's a custom home, a whole-home renovation, or a commercial build-out. Each phase includes practical planning, collaboration, and honest conversations about scope, timing, and investment.
Talk
We start by listening. Tell us about your property or space, what is and isn't working, your priorities, desired timeline, and investment range. We discuss the scope, review available information, and identify the first questions to answer before moving forward.
Imagine
Next, we explore what is possible. We consider the site or existing conditions, how you want to use the space, and the opportunities and constraints that could shape the project. Together, we establish a direction that fits your goals and makes sense for your budget.
Design
We coordinate with the appropriate architects, designers, engineers, and trade partners to develop the plans and details. Materials, selections, scope, pricing, and permitting requirements come into focus so you can make informed decisions before construction begins.
Execute
With the scope and approvals in place, we schedule and manage construction, coordinate trades, and keep you informed as the work takes shape. We address details along the way, complete final checks, and walk through the finished space together.
