After Hurricane Helene flooded my home, I was overwhelmed and unsure if I would even be able to restore it. I truly believe that without Alex, my home may not have been rebuilt at all. After going through five different contractors, Alex was the only one who identified serious permit issues that would have prevented my home from being restored. After researching some history of the property, Alex walked into the City of St. Pete—waiting in line for hours—to resolve the issue. While other contractors relied on online permits that were taking homeowners months to get, Alex took action when it mattered most. During an incredibly difficult time, that effort meant everything to me.
From the start, I was looking for a small, trustworthy contractor who would care about my home and restore it even better than it was before—and Alex and the project manager, Trey, delivered beyond my expectations. My home underwent a complete transformation: full rewiring and repiping, new HVAC, brand-new bathrooms, new kitchen, flooring, wall retexturing—this was a major renovation. The quality of materials and workmanship was excellent, and the quote included most materials, which was a huge relief since I didn’t live in the area.
What truly sets Simon Remodeling & Construction apart is their communication and integrity. Every call, text, and email was returned. I never once felt ignored or uncertain about progress. Since I lived out of town, Trey went above and beyond—providing constant updates, photos, walkthroughs, and meeting me whenever needed. He was honest, dependable, and took genuine pride in protecting my home, managing subcontractors, waiting for deliveries, and making sure everything was done right.
Alex is positive, trustworthy, open to ideas, and always willing to help make your vision a reality. Together, Alex and Trey communicated my expectations clearly to every subcontractor (no small task), handled changes effortlessly, and addressed any issues without frustration or nickel-and-diming. Everything was done with professionalism and grace. The final deep clean was an unexpected but much-appreciated touch.
Working with Simon Remodeling & Construction turned a devastating situation into a positive experience. They are organized, fair, financially responsible, and truly care about their clients. If you are looking for a reliable, licensed contractor in Pinellas County who understands permitting, large-scale remodeling, and quality construction, I highly recommend Simon Remodeling & Construction.
