Interior Renovations in Tampa, FL
Velez Design Consulting & Remodeling
provides comprehensive interior renovations for homes in Tampa, FL. Our services are designed for homeowners seeking to reconfigure outdated layouts, modernize essential systems, and enhance finishes throughout the interior of their properties. With a focus on structural compatibility, building code compliance, and functional planning, we oversee every phase of renovation—from space assessment and design drafting to final trim installation.
Initial Assessment and Design Strategy
Every interior renovation begins with a detailed walkthrough of the existing property. We evaluate how the current layout affects traffic flow, lighting, storage, and mechanical access. This allows us to develop a strategic plan tailored to your use of space and long-term residential goals.
Floorplan Evaluation and Reconfiguration
We assess walls, doorways, and room divisions to determine which changes will deliver the greatest impact. If desired, we reconfigure floorplans to support open-concept living, increase privacy, or improve navigation between frequently used spaces. Structural changes are drafted with attention to Tampa’s permitting standards.
Client Objectives and Design Integration
Once the spatial reconfiguration is agreed upon, our team develops a cohesive design approach that integrates functionality with your preferred architectural style. Material selections, fixture placement, and lighting options are planned in tandem to ensure a fluid transformation throughout the home’s interior.
Structural Adjustments and Framing
Renovations involving wall removal, framing modifications, or structural reinforcement require careful planning and, in some cases, engineering review. We coordinate all structural changes to meet load-bearing requirements and code enforcement expectations.
Load Analysis and Framing Plans
If a renovation calls for removing or modifying load-bearing walls, we develop detailed framing plans that include beam sizing, column placement, and header reinforcement. When required, these are reviewed and stamped by licensed engineers to comply with local codes.
Interior Framing Construction
New walls, ceiling drops, or architectural features are framed to spec using code-approved materials and techniques. Framing inspections are coordinated before insulation and drywall to ensure full compliance with Tampa’s inspection process.
Electrical, Plumbing, and HVAC Adjustments
Interior renovations often involve changes to lighting systems, outlets, HVAC vents, and plumbing configurations. Velez Design Consulting & Remodeling manages all required updates to meet system demand and Florida Building Code.
Lighting Layout and Wiring Revisions
We create lighting diagrams based on the new room configurations, incorporating ceiling fixtures, recessed lighting, wall sconces, and task lighting where appropriate. Electrical circuits are updated with proper GFCI/AFCI protections, and load calculations are completed if additional circuits are required.
Plumbing Fixture Relocation and Upgrades
When bathrooms, kitchens, or laundry areas are relocated or modified, plumbing lines are rerouted to match the new configuration. Our team ensures pressure balance, proper venting, and fixture compatibility. Rough-in inspections are completed prior to finish installation.
Ductwork Modifications and Airflow Balancing
To maintain comfort and proper ventilation, ductwork is re-routed or resized based on the revised interior layout. Supply and return vents are recalibrated for balance and airflow, with HVAC adjustments handled by licensed technicians.
Drywall, Paint, and Interior Finishes
After structural and mechanical systems are complete, we proceed with drywall, painting, and final finish work. All surfaces are prepped, leveled, and sealed to ensure long-term durability and aesthetic consistency.
Wall and Ceiling Surface Preparation
We hang and finish drywall with precise taping, sanding, and texture matching. Ceilings are smoothed or styled based on your preference—ranging from knockdown texture to smooth finishes.
Interior Painting and Color Matching
Walls, ceilings, and trim are painted using high-quality, low-VOC paints in the chosen color scheme. We match existing tones when renovating partial sections of a home and coordinate full repaints for seamless visual updates.
Flooring Installation and Transitions
Velez Design Consulting & Remodeling offers full flooring installation as part of interior renovation projects. We prepare substrates, ensure material compatibility, and maintain consistent transitions between flooring types and rooms.
Subfloor Leveling and Underlayment
Before any new material is installed, we verify the subfloor is level, dry, and secure. Moisture barriers and underlayment are added where required to support longevity and prevent creaking or movement.
Material Selection and Layout
We install a variety of flooring materials, including tile, engineered hardwood, laminate, and luxury vinyl plank. Flooring is aligned with natural light and traffic flow for both visual effect and function.
Finish Carpentry and Custom Trim
Final details such as trim, moldings, and built-ins are essential to completing an interior renovation. Our carpentry team delivers precision installation across all finishing elements.
Baseboards, Crown, and Casings
We install custom or standard-profile baseboards, crown molding, window casings, and door trim to match the home’s updated interior aesthetic. Finishes are painted or stained for consistency across rooms.
Built-In Shelving and Wall Features
Custom shelving units, nooks, fireplace surrounds, and accent walls are constructed based on design plans. Each feature is built with exact dimensions and installed securely to ensure durability and code adherence.
Permit Management and Inspection Scheduling
For renovations requiring electrical, plumbing, structural, or layout modifications, we manage all aspects of permitting and inspections with the City of Tampa.
Construction Document Preparation
Our plans and system diagrams are compiled and submitted with permit applications. If plan revisions are requested, our team responds promptly to keep the schedule on track.
Inspection Coordination and Close-Out
Each phase of the project—framing, mechanical, insulation, and final—is scheduled and passed in accordance with local code. We handle final documentation and coordinate with inspectors to achieve project sign-off and completion.
