Remodeling & Construction in Jacksonville, FL
Our largest market, and the one we build in most weeks of the year.
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.
What Jacksonville homeowners hire us for most
Three services make up the bulk of our Duval County work. Each one is structural, permitted, and run end to end by us.
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
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
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
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
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
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.
We provide them. Through our partnership with Floor & Decor you work directly with an in-store designer to choose colours, tile, and finishes, and your selections go onto a form under our account. From there we purchase, pick up, and deliver everything to the job site. You get to make the fun decisions without managing orders, deliveries, or returns.
Yes. GIL pulls and handles all permits for your project — that is part of what you are hiring a licensed contractor to do, and it is included. Our licensed plumbing and electrical subcontractors pull their own trade permits under our master permit. You do not need to contact the building department or schedule an inspection yourself.
We give you a schedule in the written proposal and we finish on or ahead of it. A small bathroom is usually about 7 days including permitting; a master bathroom is typically 2 to 3 weeks. Larger work such as an addition or new construction runs longer and is scheduled specifically for your project. We complete 30 to 40 projects a year, so our timelines come from experience rather than optimism.
Cesar Perdomo, and he manages customers exclusively. This is the structural difference at GIL: our business partner runs the job sites, so Cesar is never pulled onto a roof or under a house when you call. At most contracting companies one person does both jobs, which is exactly why homeowners cannot reach their contractor mid-project. Someone here is always reachable by phone — no run-arounds and no no-shows.
Yes. GIL Renovation Services pulls and manages every permit your Jacksonville project needs, including the submission, any corrections that come back, and the scheduling of each inspection in Duval County. Our licensed plumbing and electrical subcontractors pull their own trade permits under our master permit. You never need to contact the building department or book an inspection yourself. Requirements and review times differ between jurisdictions and change over time, so we confirm exactly what your specific project needs before work begins rather than working from an assumption.
Jacksonville sits in Duval County, and we build across Duval, Clay, St. Johns, and Nassau counties — Jacksonville, Orange Park, Green Cove Springs, Fleming Island, Mandarin, St. Augustine, Ponte Vedra, Nocatee, St. Johns, and Fernandina Beach. Being based in Orange Park, FL keeps all of that inside a comfortable drive, with Jacksonville our largest market. If you are just outside that footprint, call and ask: we would rather tell you honestly whether we are the right company for your job than take on work we cannot schedule properly.
