There Is a Version of Hiring a Contractor That Goes Right

You get a clear estimate. The work starts when they said it would. Someone answers the phone when you call. The project finishes on time. The inspector signs off on the first visit.

That version should be normal. It is not always normal in Tampa Bay.

We hear the stories. The contractor who took 50% upfront and disappeared. The kitchen remodel quoted at $40,000 that ended at $75,000. The room addition that failed inspection three times because the permits were never pulled properly. The six-month project that stretched to fourteen months with no explanation.

We started Drome Contracting because those stories should not be the standard experience of hiring a general contractor.

One person manages your project from the first site visit to final walkthrough. No handoffs. No rotating project managers. The same person who walks your property at the estimate is responsible for your project from start to finish. That is not how every contractor operates. It is how this one does.

Yes, in-house, before work begins. We pull all required building permits from the relevant county or municipality. Structural, electrical, plumbing, mechanical. We schedule and pass every inspection. Unpermitted work does not just create problems during the project. It creates problems when you sell. Florida requires disclosure of unpermitted work. Your title company will find it. Your buyer's inspector will find it. You will be the one paying to bring it up to code at the worst possible time.

You receive a written, itemized bid before you sign anything. Every material. Every trade. Every permit fee. The document is yours to keep whether you hire us or not. Change orders happen in construction. When something changes during your project, here is our process: we stop, write it up, give you the exact cost and the reason for it, and wait for your written approval before proceeding. No work happens on an unapproved change. That is not a policy we announce. It is how the paperwork is structured.

We come back and fix it. Warranty terms are in writing at project close. The longer answer: a Florida Certified General Contractor license is an enforcement mechanism. The DBPR licensing board exists to handle complaints against licensed contractors. Your recourse is a documented process, not just a lawsuit. That is a meaningful difference from hiring someone without a license.
