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.

Update kitchens and bathrooms, rework a layout, or renovate the whole home while retaining the details you love.

Featured Project Testimonials
From the initial consultation to the finishing touches, John was absolutely amazing. He took the time to understand what we wanted and was detailed in his explanation as to what the finished product would look like. I have no doubt he would do an amazing job for you, too.
