As the premier choice for South Tampa Home Remodeling, Craftline understands that Davis Islands requires a unique approach
Remodeling on Davis Islands requires more than just a contractor it requires a partner who understands the unique architecture and regulations of island living. Whether you own a 1920s Mediterranean Revival near the Yacht Club or a modern waterfront estate on the canal, Craftline Remodeling delivers craftsmanship that matches the prestige of your address.
We don’t just renovate homes; we upgrade your lifestyle while navigating the specific complexities of building on the Island.
The “Local Expert” Difference: Navigating the FEMA 50% Rule
Building on Davis Islands comes with a specific challenge: The FEMA 50% Rule. Because many homes here are located in flood zones, renovations often cannot exceed 50% of the structure’s depreciated value unless the home is brought up to current flood codes.
Most contractors don’t understand this rule until it’s too late. At Craftline, we plan for it from Day 1.
- Strategic Valuation: We help you maximize your renovation budget while staying compliant.
- Phased Improvements: We structure your project timeline to get you the home you want without triggering unnecessary code requirements.
- Flood-Resilient Materials: We use moisture-resistant substrates and salt-tolerant finishes designed to withstand the waterfront environment.

Frequently Asked Questions about Remodeling on Davis Islands
Q: Does the FEMA 50% Rule apply to my kitchen remodel? A: It depends on the value of your home and the cost of the project. If your home is in a flood zone (AE zone), the total cost of improvements within a set period cannot exceed 50% of the structure’s depreciated market value. We help you calculate this before starting to ensure your project is compliant.
Q: Do I need a permit for a bathroom remodel on Davis Islands? A: Yes. The City of Tampa requires permits for almost all remodeling work on Davis Islands, especially when plumbing or electrical systems are involved. Craftline handles all permitting and inspections for you.
Q: How do you handle construction debris on the Island? A: We know parking and space can be tight on the Island. We use “live load” removal or small-footprint dumpsters to keep your driveway clear and your neighbors happy.
