Bathroom Remodeling in Gainesville

Bathrooms in Gainesville's older homes can come with plenty of character — and sometimes a layout that made a lot more sense several decades ago.

Southtide Construction renovates primary baths, guest bathrooms, and powder rooms with an emphasis on better functionality, quality materials, and timeless design.

Bathroom Remodeling Services:

• Walk-in showers and glass enclosures – Replace dated or enclosed showers with brighter, more comfortable spaces.
• Custom tile and flooring – Introduce durable materials and thoughtful design details.
• Vanities and cabinetry – Improve storage while giving the room an updated look.
• Fixtures and lighting – Upgrade faucets, plumbing fixtures, mirrors, and lighting.
• Layout modifications – Reconfigure inefficient bathrooms when a more substantial renovation makes sense.

Thoughtfully Built From the Inside Out

A beautiful bathroom renovation isn't just about what you can see. Especially in an older Gainesville home, remodeling can uncover plumbing, structural, waterproofing, or electrical issues that need to be addressed correctly before the finishes go in.

Our team looks at the entire space so the finished bathroom is built to perform as well as it looks.

Gainesville Home Additions & Whole-Home Renovations

This is where Gainesville homes can get really interesting. Many established neighborhoods offer something increasingly difficult to recreate: mature trees, distinctive architecture, generous homesites, proximity to UF and downtown, and a true sense of place.

If you love your property but your home no longer fits your life, renovating or adding on can allow you to stay exactly where you want to be.

Home Addition & Renovation Services:

• Primary suite additions – Create a private retreat with additional bedroom, bathroom, and closet space.
• Expanded living areas – Add square footage or reconfigure existing rooms for more open, connected living.
• Home offices and flex spaces – Create dedicated spaces for work, guests, hobbies, or growing families.
• Garage additions and conversions – Add functional square footage while integrating it with the existing home.
• Whole-home renovations – Update layouts, finishes, systems, and multiple living spaces as one cohesive project.

Keep the Location. Reinvent the Home.

From neighborhoods surrounding the University of Florida to established areas throughout Gainesville and larger properties across Alachua County, the right location can be worth holding onto.

Southtide helps homeowners preserve what they love about their property while creating a home that works for the next chapter.

Custom & Semi-Custom Homes in Gainesville

Gainesville also offers something increasingly hard to find in many parts of Florida: opportunities to build on properties with space, mature landscapes, and a character all their own.

Southtide Construction provides custom and semi-custom new home construction throughout Gainesville and the surrounding area, combining thoughtful planning with hands-on construction management.

Semi-Custom Homes

Our semi-custom approach gives homeowners a streamlined starting point while still allowing the finished home to feel personal.

• Thoughtfully designed floor plans
• Personalized finishes and selections
• Options tailored to your homesite and lifestyle
• A more streamlined path from planning to construction

Custom Homes

For a unique homesite or a homeowner with a specific vision, custom construction offers the opportunity to create something entirely your own.

• Designed around your property – Take advantage of views, mature trees, privacy, orientation, and the natural characteristics of the homesite.
• Designed around your family – Create spaces that reflect how you actually live.
• Built for North Central Florida – Thoughtful material and construction decisions suited to Florida's climate and environment.
• Quality from the ground up – A hands-on approach focused on craftsmanship throughout construction.

Building in a Place That Feels Like Home

Our connection to Gainesville didn't begin with Southtide. Our family has called North Central Florida home for generations, and our ties to Gainesville and the University of Florida are part of who we are.

We're proud to bring Southtide Construction back to our roots and help Gainesville homeowners renovate, expand, and build homes they'll love for generations to come.
