A Trex composite deck in Florida costs between $45–$85 per square foot installed, depending on the Trex line chosen (Select, Enhance, or Transcend) and deck complexity. A standard 300 sq ft Trex deck costs $13,500–$25,500 installed. Multi-level decks, built-in seating, and custom railings increase the cost. Trex decks last 25+ years with no staining or sealing required.
Home additions in Tampa cost between $150–$350 per square foot depending on the type. A standard room addition (bedroom, family room) costs $150–$250/sq ft. A kitchen or bathroom addition costs $200–$350/sq ft due to plumbing and fixtures. A 400 sq ft addition typically ranges from $60,000–$140,000 total including permits, foundation, framing, and finishes.
A sunroom addition in Florida costs between $25,000 and $80,000 depending on size and type. A three-season sunroom (screened, not climate-controlled) costs $15,000–$35,000. A four-season sunroom with insulated glass, HVAC, and electrical costs $40,000–$80,000. Sunrooms add significant value to Florida homes due to year-round usability.
A kitchen remodel takes 6–12 weeks from demolition to completion. The timeline breaks down as: design and material selection (2–4 weeks), permits (1–2 weeks), demolition and rough work (1–2 weeks), cabinetry and countertop installation (2–3 weeks), and finishing (1–2 weeks). Custom cabinetry may add 4–6 weeks of lead time. Hawley Construction provides a detailed project schedule before work begins.
A standard bathroom remodel takes 3–6 weeks. A half-bath refresh can be completed in 2–3 weeks. A full master bathroom renovation with custom tile, walk-in shower, and new plumbing takes 5–8 weeks. Factors affecting timeline include permit processing, custom material lead times, and complexity of tile work.

For Florida kitchens, we recommend quartz countertops (brands like Cambria, Caesarstone, or Silestone) as the top choice due to their durability, stain resistance, and zero maintenance. Granite remains popular for its natural beauty. Quartzite offers the look of marble with superior durability. We avoid marble in high-use kitchens due to etching and staining concerns in Florida's humid climate.
Trex composite decking outperforms wood in Florida because: (1) It resists moisture, mold, and rot — critical in Florida's humidity. (2) It won't warp, crack, or splinter like pressure-treated wood. (3) It requires zero staining, sealing, or painting — ever. (4) It resists UV fading with a 25-year warranty. (5) It's made from 95% recycled materials. Wood decks in Florida typically need replacement every 8–12 years; Trex lasts 25+ years.
For Florida bathrooms, we recommend porcelain tile for floors (slip-resistant, waterproof, durable) and large-format ceramic or porcelain for walls. Popular choices include wood-look porcelain planks, marble-look porcelain, and handmade zellige tiles for accents. Natural stone (marble, travertine) works well for luxury bathrooms with proper sealing. We always use waterproof membrane systems behind all shower tile.
