What a Whole Home Remodel Costs in Temple Terrace
| Whole home scope | Typical investment | What it covers |

| Selective remodel | $75,000 to $150,000 | Kitchen, two baths, flooring, paint, and updated fixtures throughout |
| Complete renovation | $150,000 to $300,000 | Gut renovation, new systems, reworked floor plan, every room touched |
| Per square foot | $95 to $250 / sq ft | Range depends on how much is structural vs. finish-level work |
These ranges hold for most homes in the area. What moves your number is square footage, how much is structural (moving walls, raising ceilings, re-plumbing) versus finish-level, and the materials you pick.

Working on Temple Terrace Homes
Temple Terrace is one of Florida’s oldest planned communities, laid out around a golf course in the 1920s. That history shows up in two very different housing types: original Mediterranean Revival homes from the 1920s with arched windows and barrel-tile roofs, and a large stock of 1950s and 1960s ranches near USF and the Hillsborough River. The older homes reward careful work that respects their character, while the mid-century ranches are ideal candidates for opening up walls and modernizing systems. River-adjacent lots carry flood considerations we plan around.
Here is something most contractors miss: Temple Terrace runs its own building department. Permits go through the City of Temple Terrace, not Hillsborough County. We know that process and pull every permit and inspection through the city directly.
What a Complete Remodel Includes
- Design and 3D plans so you see the layout before we build
- Permits and inspections pulled and managed for you
- Kitchen: cabinets, counters, appliances, lighting, plumbing
- Bathrooms: showers, tubs, vanities, tile, fixtures
- Flooring, interior paint, trim, and doors throughout
- Electrical and plumbing updates where the home needs them
- One fixed written scope and price, no moving target
What moves your final number most is the level of structural change. Moving kitchen and bath plumbing, taking down load-bearing walls, raising ceilings, and re-running electrical all add cost but also add the open, modern layout most homeowners are after. Finish choices, cabinets, counters, tile, and fixtures, are the other big lever, and that is the part you control directly.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a whole home remodel cost here?
Most Temple Terrace whole home projects land between $75,000 for a selective remodel and $300,000 for a full gut. Per square foot, plan on $95 to $250 depending on how much structural work is involved.
How long does a full home remodel take?
A selective remodel usually runs 8 to 14 weeks. A complete gut renovation runs 4 to 7 months, including design and permitting before any demolition starts.
Can we live in the house during the remodel?
For selective remodels, often yes, by phasing the work. For a full gut, most families move out for the active construction window. We will tell you straight which one fits your project.
Do Temple Terrace permits go through the city or the county?
Through the city. Temple Terrace is one of the few Hillsborough communities with its own building department, so your remodel is permitted and inspected by the City of Temple Terrace. We handle that paperwork start to finish.
