A building contractor for the whole of Jacksonville

GIL Renovation Services builds home additions, new construction, ADUs, and whole-home renovations throughout Jacksonville and Duval County. It is our largest market and the one we are working in most weeks of the year.

Jacksonville work is a large part of why our licence class matters. We hold Florida licence CBC1269967 as a Certified Building Contractor, which covers structural work — foundations, framing, and load paths — rather than finish work alone. We pull and manage the permits ourselves, and our licensed plumbing and electrical subcontractors pull their trade permits under our master permit.

We do not do roofing or handyman work. We are built for substantial projects, and saying so plainly saves everyone a wasted appointment.

What building in Jacksonville actually involves

Jacksonville is the largest city by land area in the contiguous United States, which in practice means its housing stock is not one thing. We work across all of it, from established pre-war neighbourhoods where an addition has to respect an existing footprint, to newer subdivisions where the question is usually how to open up a plan that was built cheaply. Because we are based in Clay County and reach Duval every day, Jacksonville is a normal drive rather than a special trip.

Practically, that means the first conversation is about your specific house rather than a general approach. We come out, measure, and put a full written proposal in your hands within 48 hours of the consultation.

How a Jacksonville project runs

Five stages, and you always know which one you are on. Nothing here changes because of where in Duval County you are.

  1. 1

    Get in touch

    Submit the form or call. Either reaches the same place, and someone actually picks up. A team member follows up to gather details before anyone drives out.

  2. 2

    On-site consultation in Duval County

    We come to you, take measurements, and talk through the full scope in person. Free, and with no obligation to go further.

  3. 3

    Written proposal within 48 hours

    Scope and price laid out in full, in writing, within two days of the consultation — so you are deciding on real numbers rather than a verbal estimate.

  4. 4

    Permits and scheduling

    You accept, we schedule, and we submit the permit package. We handle any corrections that come back and book every inspection. You never contact the building department.

  5. 5

    Build, walkthrough, warranty

    A 50% deposit at scheduling and 50% on completion, with no progress-payment surprises in between. Final inspection, a walkthrough with you, and your one-year workmanship warranty starts at completion.

Jacksonville project questions

The five questions homeowners ask us before hiring anyone, plus two about building in Duval County.

It depends on the size and scope of the work, so we price every project individually after seeing it in person. As a concrete reference point, a small bathroom of roughly 7x5 typically runs $10,000 to $14,000, and a master bathroom typically runs $17,000 to $35,000, with materials included in both. Your written proposal arrives within 48 hours of the on-site consultation and lays out the full scope and price, so you are never comparing guesses. Estimates and consultations are free.
