Why Davenport homeowners call True Builders

4.8 Stars · Serving Central Florida since 2009

We remodel kitchens and baths in ChampionsGate, Reunion, and older Davenport homes. You get the price in writing before work starts.

Davenport has grown faster than almost anywhere else in Polk County. Drive through ChampionsGate and Reunion along the Disney corridor and the new rooftops are everywhere, but new construction does not mean maintenance free. Plenty of Davenport homeowners are already upgrading builder-grade finishes, expanding a floor plan, or fixing storm damage.

True Builders is a licensed Florida general contractor, GC license CBC1258346, serving Central Florida since 2009 from Plant City and Lakeland offices with crews in Auburndale. Founder Issac Turpin built the company as a family-owned operation, and that hands-on approach still guides every Davenport project today.

Why Davenport homeowners choose True Builders

Davenport sits at the meeting point of brand new communities and long established neighborhoods, so our crews handle a wide range of work every week. Because we self-perform every trade, a Davenport homeowner is not stuck coordinating separate subcontractors or waiting on schedules to line up.

Our team is published by name with the role each person plays, and the video library carries walkthroughs filmed on real jobsites with the crews who ran them.

  • In-house framing, plumbing, electrical, drywall, cabinetry, countertop, tile, and paint crews
  • Newer ChampionsGate and Reunion updates alongside full renovations near Haines City and Loughman
  • Part of the True family with True Plumbers, True Roofers, and True Aluminum
  • More than 100,000 customers served across Central Florida

  • Available 24/7 with project managers close by in Plant City, Lakeland, and Auburndale

Kitchen and bathroom remodeling in Davenport

Kitchen remodeling requests often start in newer ChampionsGate and Reunion homes, where owners want to swap standard builder cabinets and countertops for something built to last. In older Davenport and Haines City homes, the request is usually bigger: opening up a closed-off layout entirely.

  • Kitchen remodeling with new kitchen cabinets, countertops, and layout changes
  • Bathroom remodeling from vanity and tile updates to full bathroom remodel gut jobs
  • Custom cabinetry and countertop fabrication through our in-house design team
  • Walk-in showers and updated tile for newer homes with basic original finishes
  • Behind-the-wall plumbing and electrical handled by our own crews, not outside subs
  • Tile, paint, and finish work for newer and older Davenport homes alike

Home additions and whole-home renovations in Davenport

Growing households in ChampionsGate and Reunion often reach a point where the original floor plan no longer fits. A home addition adds square footage without the disruption of selling and moving, and our crews match rooflines, siding, and finishes so it never looks like an afterthought.

Renovation design is where an addition either works or does not. Setbacks, the existing roofline, and where the plumbing already runs decide most of the plan before anyone picks a finish.

  • Home additions that extend a house while matching the original structure
  • Whole-home renovations for older properties near Haines City and Loughman
  • One crew covering framing, plumbing, electrical, drywall, cabinetry, countertops, tile, and paint
  • No splitting the project across outside contractors or separate schedules

Kitchen cabinets and countertops in Davenport

Kitchen cabinets and countertops are usually the first thing a Davenport homeowner asks about, whether the builder-grade boxes look fine but do not hold up to daily use, or the cabinets are original to an older Haines City area home. Because design and installation happen under one roof, the people who help choose a layout are the same people who build it.

  • Quartz, granite, and laminate countertop options fabricated and installed in-house
  • Cabinets and countertops sized to fit an existing kitchen footprint without forcing a layout change
  • Custom cabinetry including pantry cabinets, islands, and built-ins for whole-home renovations
  • Same consultation process for a cabinet swap as for a full remodel, and no fee to see samples

Our design-to-finish remodeling process

Every Davenport project starts with a consultation, at the home or in our showroom, where our design team walks through cabinetry, countertop, and tile options in person. Once the design is set, the same in-house crews carry it through construction, so there is no handoff to a separate installer.

  • In-home or showroom consultation with the design team
  • One continuous crew from design through the final walkthrough
  • Questions mid-project answered by the same people who built the original plan
  • Consistent process whether the job is a bathroom update or a full home addition

The Davenport communities we serve

Our Davenport work covers the growing communities near ChampionsGate and Reunion, established neighborhoods throughout the city, and the surrounding areas of Haines City and Loughman. Each area brings a different mix of home ages, and our crews move between newer builds and older properties in the same week.

  • ChampionsGate and Reunion, new construction along the Disney corridor
  • Established Davenport neighborhoods with a mix of home ages
  • Haines City and Loughman, older Polk County construction
  • Lakeland, home to our second office at 2829 Badger Rd #19
  • Winter Haven and the Chain of Lakes, north of Davenport
  • Plant City headquarters at 4000 N Frontage Rd, with crews based in Auburndale

Storm, fire, and disaster rebuilds in Davenport

True Builders does the full rebuild after a fire or a storm, not just the cleanup. That distinction matters, because most of the companies that arrive first only clear the damage and then hand the homeowner a list of builders to call. We are the builder, and as a licensed general contractor we pull the Polk County permit the rebuild needs.

Our crews frame, rewire, replumb, hang and finish drywall, set cabinets and countertops, tile, and paint. On fire damage that includes the smoke damage that spread into rooms the fire never reached, which is the part most homeowners do not expect.

A kitchen fire is the most common of these calls, and a complete loss, where the structure comes down to the slab and goes back up, is the largest. Both are disaster restoration work. Storm calls in Davenport run to wind damage, usually a fallen tree through a roofline after a line of summer weather comes up the Disney corridor.

Water mitigation is not a True Builders service. It belongs to our sister brand True Plumbers. If water is standing or still coming in, start at trueplumbers.com, then bring us in for the reconstruction.

  • Full fire damage rebuilds in Davenport, from framing and electrical through cabinetry and paint
  • Smoke damage work in rooms beyond the point of origin
  • Storm damage structural repair and interior reconstruction, including ChampionsGate and Reunion homes
  • One licensed general contractor for the whole rebuild instead of a cleanup company plus a builder
  • Phones answered 24 hours a day
  • For water mitigation, visit True Plumbers at trueplumbers.com

Permits, inspections, and our license number

Davenport permitting runs through Polk County, with the City of Davenport building department reviewing addresses inside the city limits. Home additions, structural changes, and any remodel that moves plumbing or electrical all need a permit and inspections. In ChampionsGate and Reunion, an HOA architectural review usually runs alongside the county permit on its own schedule.

We pull the permit and schedule the inspections as the licensed contractor of record. Review time moves with the department workload and the size of the job, so we confirm the current turnaround at submittal rather than promising a date.

True Builders holds Florida general contractor license CBC1258346. It is public record, and you can verify it in the Florida DBPR license database before you sign anything.

  • Polk County permitting, with City of Davenport review inside the city limits
  • HOA architectural review handled alongside the county permit in ChampionsGate and Reunion
  • Florida general contractor license CBC1258346
  • A+ BBB rating (not BBB accredited)

What a remodel costs in Davenport

For bathrooms, cost guides covering the Lakeland side of Polk County put the average remodel at roughly $7,484 to $10,335, with a full range of about $3,204 to $15,590. Push into a full remodel at Tampa-market pricing and the number generally runs $15,000 to $28,000, with mid-range projects between $15,000 and $30,000.

Kitchens sort into three bands. A cosmetic refresh runs about $8,000 to $18,000. A mid-range remodel with new cabinets, countertops, and appliances runs about $30,000 to $60,000. A full gut that moves walls and relocates plumbing runs $60,000 to $120,000 and up. Newer ChampionsGate and Reunion homes usually land in the first two bands, because the structure is sound and the work is finish-level.

Whichever room it is, moving a toilet, shower, or vanity drain adds $2,000 to $5,000, since the slab has to be opened and the line rerouted.

These are general market ranges compiled from published industry cost guides for Polk County and the Tampa area. They are not a True Builders quote. What your Davenport project actually costs depends on scope, the materials you pick, and what the crew finds once the walls are open.

Questions Davenport homeowners ask us most

A few questions come up on nearly every call, so here are straight answers before you even pick up the phone.

  • How long has True Builders worked in Davenport? Licensed since 2009, with offices in Plant City and Lakeland and crews in Auburndale keeping response times quick.
  • Do newer ChampionsGate or Reunion homes really need remodeling already? Yes. Builder-grade cabinets, countertops, and fixtures are chosen to hit a price point during construction, not to be the final word on how a kitchen should look.
  • Can storm damage or fire damage repairs be combined with a remodel? Yes, since we self-perform framing, drywall, electrical, plumbing, and cabinetry, repair work and remodeling can run under one contract.
  • What happens at a consultation? Our design team reviews the space, talks through cabinetry, countertop, and tile options, and puts together real pricing. No obligation.
  • Is financing available? Yes, through our lending partner. A soft credit check shows your options with no impact on your credit score, and we walk through them with you before anything is signed.

Planning your Davenport remodel timeline

Timelines depend heavily on scope. A cabinets and countertops refresh with no layout change moves faster than a full kitchen remodeling project that involves moving walls or relocating plumbing.

  • Cabinet and countertop refresh: fastest, no layout changes involved
  • Bathroom remodeling: vanity and tile updates move quicker than a full gut renovation
  • Home additions and whole-home renovations near Haines City and Loughman: longer, with permitting and multiple trades
  • In-house crews sequence work back to back instead of waiting on outside subcontractors
  • A consultation is the most reliable way to get an accurate schedule for your specific project

Financing a Davenport project

The ranges above are market context. Your number comes from a walkthrough, and if you would rather spread the cost, financing runs through our third-party lending partner.

Our recent projects are worth a look first, since seeing a finished scope usually clarifies a budget faster than a range does. After the work is done, the True Home Membership covers ongoing upkeep across the True family of brands.

  • Consultation with the design team before any estimate is given
  • Financing available through our third-party lending partner
  • We walk through the available options with you before anything is signed
  • Prequalify in about a minute with no impact on your credit score
  • Same financing option for a small update or a full home addition

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

The answers Central Florida homeowners ask us most often.

How much does a general contractor charge in Florida?
It depends on the contract structure, and there are three common ones. Fixed-price means a single agreed number for a defined scope, which is what most Davenport remodels use. Cost-plus means you pay actual material and labor costs plus an agreed contractor fee. Percentage-of-cost means the fee scales with project size. Ask any contractor which structure they use and what the quote excludes, because exclusions are where surprise costs hide. We price Davenport work off a walkthrough, not a phone call.
What do most general contractors charge per hour?
Residential general contractors in Florida rarely bill remodels by the hour. Remodels and additions are quoted as a fixed price for a defined scope, because hourly billing gives a homeowner no ceiling and no way to compare bids side by side. Hourly arrangements show up mostly on small repairs or on work that genuinely cannot be scoped in advance. If someone quotes an hourly rate for a full kitchen, ask for a not-to-exceed number in writing.
What is the difference between a contractor and a general contractor?
A general contractor is licensed to take responsibility for a whole project, pull the permit, and coordinate every trade. A specialty contractor is licensed for one trade, such as electrical, plumbing, or roofing. On a Davenport addition, the general contractor is the party who can legally pull the Polk County permit and answer for framing, electrical, plumbing, and finish work as one job. True Builders is a licensed Florida general contractor, CBC1258346, and we self-perform those trades in-house.
What should you not tell your contractor?
Do not name the maximum you can spend before the scope is written, because it invites a bid built to that ceiling instead of to the work. Otherwise, be straightforward. Hiding a known problem, a pending insurance claim, or a real deadline costs you more than it saves. What protects you is a written scope, a written change-order process, a verified license number, and a payment schedule tied to completed milestones.
How much does a kitchen or bathroom remodel cost in Davenport?
Bathrooms in Polk County average about $7,484 to $10,335 per published cost guides, with a full range of roughly $3,204 to $15,590, and a full Tampa-market remodel running $15,000 to $28,000. Kitchens run about $8,000 to $18,000 for a cosmetic refresh, $30,000 to $60,000 mid-range, and $60,000 to $120,000 and up for a full gut. Moving a drain adds $2,000 to $5,000. These are general market ranges from published industry cost guides, not a True Builders quote, and your real number depends on scope, materials, and site conditions.
Does True Builders serve Davenport, and how far is it from the Plant City headquarters?
Yes. Davenport is one of our Polk County markets, along with ChampionsGate, Reunion, Haines City, and Loughman. The headquarters is at 4000 N Frontage Rd in Plant City, and our Lakeland office at 2829 Badger Rd #19 is the closer of the two, with crews also based in Auburndale. That means Davenport jobs are typically staged from inside Polk County rather than driven in from Hillsborough.
Which building department issues the permit in Davenport, and how long does it take?
Polk County issues the permit, with the City of Davenport building department reviewing addresses inside the city limits. In ChampionsGate and Reunion, HOA architectural review usually runs alongside it on a separate schedule. We pull the permit and schedule inspections as the licensed general contractor of record, CBC1258346. Review time depends on the department workload and the size of the job, so we confirm the current turnaround at submittal.
Who handles fire and smoke damage rebuilds in Davenport?
True Builders does the full rebuild, not just the cleanup. Our crews handle framing, electrical, plumbing, drywall, cabinetry, countertops, tile, and paint, so a fire damaged Davenport home goes from structural repair to finished rooms under one license, CBC1258346, with the Polk County permit pulled by us. Smoke damage in rooms beyond the point of origin is part of that scope. Water mitigation is not a service we offer. That belongs to our sister company True Plumbers at trueplumbers.com.
