Overview

Old Houses Need a Builder Who Respects Them

A general contractor in Seminole Heights, Tampa is working on some of the oldest housing stock in the city. The neighborhood is built around 1920s craftsman bungalows, with their deep front porches, narrow lap siding, heart pine floors and the kind of detail nobody frames into a new house anymore. Onsite renovates these homes the way they ask to be renovated, keeping what makes them special while fixing what a century has worn out underneath.

That work is different from new construction. Behind the plaster you find old wiring, cast iron drain lines, slab and pier foundations that have shifted, and additions from past owners that were never permitted right. We open these homes up carefully, deal honestly with what we find, and bring the systems up to today without stripping out the character that drew you to the block in the first place. Whether you are off Florida Avenue near the food and brewery corridor or tucked back on a quiet street near the river, we treat the house as a house worth saving.

Onsite is a veteran owned, state licensed Florida general contractor founded in 2006 by Jason Fausette. We have rebuilt homes across Tampa Bay, and historic renovation is where careful hands and an accountable license matter most.

Restoration

A Bungalow Remodel Gone Wrong Is Hard to Undo

Historic homes punish the wrong contractor. A crew that does not understand old framing will jack a wall and crack the plaster across the whole house. A cheap addition slapped onto a 1920s bungalow looks wrong from the street and ruins the line of the roof. Once that detail is gone, it does not come back. Onsite plans historic work carefully, pulls the permits in our own name, and respects what the house already is instead of bulldozing through it.

Why Onsite

Why Seminole Heights Calls Onsite

Careful With Historic Detail

Heart pine floors, original trim, deep porches and craftsman lines are why you bought the house. We protect and match that detail instead of tearing it out for whatever is fast and cheap.

We Know What Is Behind the Plaster

Old wiring, cast iron drains, shifted pier foundations and unpermitted past work are normal here. We open the home carefully, tell you what we find, and bring the systems current the right way.

Additions That Fit the Block

A bungalow addition has to match the roofline, the siding and the scale of the street. We design and build additions that read as part of the original home, not a box stuck on the back.

Veteran Owned, Accountable

Founded and run by veteran Jason Fausette, Onsite holds a 4.7 star rating across 92 Google reviews. The team that quotes your renovation is the team standing in your house through the finish.

Questions

Seminole Heights Renovation FAQs

Do you specialize in historic bungalow and craftsman renovations? +
Yes. Seminole Heights is built on 1920s craftsman bungalows, and renovating them well is a craft. We keep the heart pine floors, original trim and porch detail wherever we can, match new work to the old, and update the wiring, plumbing and structure underneath so the home is sound and safe. The goal is a house that feels original but lives like a modern home.
Can you build an addition on a historic home without ruining its look? +
That is exactly how we approach it. An addition on a Seminole Heights bungalow has to respect the roofline, the siding profile and the scale of the street. We design the addition to tie into the existing structure and read as part of the original house, then build it so the foundation and roof connect cleanly instead of looking bolted on.
What kinds of surprises come up in these old homes? +
Plenty, and we would rather you hear it straight. Knob and tube or old cloth wiring, cast iron drain lines near the end of their life, foundations that have settled, and past additions that were never permitted correctly. We open the home carefully, document what we find, and price the real work instead of papering over it and handing you a problem later.
Do you handle restoration after water or storm damage in Seminole Heights? +
We do. Onsite is a general contractor and a restoration company. When a storm or a failed pipe damages an older home, the same crew tears out the wet material, dries the structure, and rebuilds the finishes to match the home. With historic interiors that matching is the whole point, and we handle it under one roof.
Are you a licensed Tampa contractor? +
Yes. Onsite is a state licensed Florida general contractor, veteran owned and founded in 2006. We pull permits in our own name with the City of Tampa and walk every inspection, which matters even more on historic work where the city watches the details closely.
Do you only work near the Florida Avenue corridor? +
No. We work throughout Seminole Heights and the surrounding Tampa neighborhoods, from the streets near the Florida Avenue food and brewery corridor to the quieter blocks closer to the Hillsborough River. If you have an old home in the area and a project in mind, call us and we will come look at it.
