Sam's Total Solutions LLC connects Brandon homeowners with vetted, licensed contractors for every remodeling project — from the established ranch-style homes along Bloomingdale Ave built in the 1980s to the newer FishHawk Ranch developments east of I-75. Located just 15 minutes from our Tampa base, Brandon is one of the communities we serve most frequently across the 33510, 33511, and 33527 zip code areas.
From Bloomingdale to FishHawk Ranch, we coordinate every type of home renovation project for Brandon residents — with vetted, licensed contractors every time.
Brandon's older homes in the Bloomingdale area often have closed-off galley kitchens from the 1980s and '90s. We connect you with contractors who specialize in opening these layouts — removing non-structural walls, adding islands, and modernizing plumbing that's 30+ years old. For FishHawk homeowners, the focus is usually upgrading builder-grade finishes to custom cabinetry and quartz countertops.
Walk-in showers, tile work, vanity upgrades, and full bathroom transformations. Brandon's older homes frequently have original fiberglass tub-shower combos that have seen better days. We match you with licensed bathroom specialists who handle everything from cosmetic refreshes to gut-and-rebuild projects — including the moisture remediation that Florida bathrooms often require.
Extra bedroom, sunroom, garage conversion, second story — we connect you with the right licensed contractor for any room addition in Brandon or Valrico. Brandon's lot sizes are generally generous enough to accommodate additions, and we know which contractors are experienced with Hillsborough County's permitting and inspection process.
LVP, tile, hardwood, and laminate flooring for Brandon homes. Florida's humidity makes flooring selection critical, and Bloomingdale-era homes often have original carpet over concrete slabs that need professional prep before any new installation. We vet the right flooring specialists for your specific subfloor conditions.
Interior and exterior painting for homes throughout Brandon, Bloomingdale, and the Valrico corridor. Florida's UV and humidity are brutal on exterior paint — we connect you with painters who use the right coatings for this climate and prep surfaces properly so the finish actually lasts.
Complete Brandon home makeovers — ideal for dated properties, investment homes, or buyers preparing to sell in the Brandon / FishHawk Ranch corridor. We coordinate all trades so you're not managing five separate contractors. One point of contact from demo to final walkthrough.
Brandon is one of the most established suburbs in Hillsborough County — with a mix of 1980s ranch homes in Bloomingdale, new construction in FishHawk Ranch, and everything in between along the Causeway Blvd and Brandon Blvd corridors. Each neighborhood has different renovation needs, and we know them all.
Homes built in the 1980s and early 1990s often need electrical panel upgrades to support modern appliances, updated plumbing supply lines, and subfloor repairs revealed during demo. FishHawk Ranch homes are newer but frequently suffer from builder-grade spec work that looks fine for the first few years, then starts showing its limitations. We know what to look for in both cases.
A homeowner on Parsons Avenue in Bloomingdale called us about a master bathroom that hadn't been touched since the house was built in 1987. The original fiberglass tub/shower combo had yellowed to a shade the contractor diplomatically described as "vintage ivory." The particle board vanity had swollen from years of Florida humidity, and the exhaust fan had stopped working sometime during the Obama administration — creating a moisture situation behind the walls that nobody wanted to think about too hard.
When the licensed demo crew opened the walls, they found what they expected: mold behind the shower surround and subfloor damage around the toilet flange. Not unusual for a 37-year-old bathroom in Florida, but it needed proper remediation before any cosmetic work could begin. Sam coordinated the remediation crew, structural repair, and full renovation sequentially so nothing was rushed.
Eighteen days later: a frameless glass walk-in shower with a rain head, large-format porcelain floor tile with a subtle herringbone pattern, a floating double vanity in white oak, backlit mirrors, and a high-CFM exhaust fan that actually works. Total investment: $12,800.
The homeowner's husband walked in after the reveal, stood in the doorway for a long moment, and said, "This is nicer than our hotel room in Cancún." His wife replied, "The hotel was $400 a night. This was $12,800 and we keep it forever." We consider that the best cost-per-night analysis in company history.
"They found mold, fixed it properly, and still finished on time. Our Bloomingdale neighbors have already asked for Sam's number."

Kitchen remodels in Brandon typically range from $15,000 to $60,000 depending on scope. A mid-range project with new cabinets, countertops, backsplash, and fixtures in a Brandon home usually runs $20,000–$35,000. Homes in FishHawk Ranch tend to have larger kitchens that cost more to renovate fully; Bloomingdale-area homes often have smaller galley-style kitchens that are more economical to transform. We get you multiple bids so you're comparing apples to apples.
Yes — most structural, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC work in Brandon requires a permit from Hillsborough County Building Services. This includes kitchen and bathroom remodels that involve any trade work. Every contractor we introduce is licensed with the State of Florida and familiar with Hillsborough County's permitting process, so this is handled from day one — not after the fact.
They're quite different by age and construction type. In Bloomingdale, homes built in the 1980s and '90s most commonly need full kitchen gut-and-rebuilds, master bath updates, and electrical panel upgrades to support modern appliances. The plumbing is often galvanized or early copper that benefits from replacement during a remodel. FishHawk Ranch homes are newer (built from the 2000s onward), so the focus there is usually upgrading from builder-grade finishes: replacing stock cabinets with custom cabinetry, swapping laminate for quartz, and adding better lighting systems.
A bathroom remodel in Brandon typically takes 2–3 weeks from demo to final tile. A kitchen renovation runs 4–8 weeks depending on cabinet lead times and the extent of structural work. Full home renovations can take 3–6 months. We provide realistic timelines upfront — and we stay involved to make sure your contractor meets them, not just quotes them.
It depends on which HOA governs your neighborhood. Bloomingdale HOA, FishHawk Ranch Community Association, and other Brandon-area HOAs all have different rules about exterior paint colors, roofing materials, fencing, and landscaping changes. We always recommend confirming with your HOA board before starting any exterior project. The licensed contractors we introduce are experienced with the HOA approval process and know what documentation to submit to keep things moving.
