Who we are

The general contractor that came up through framing.

Most general contractors buy the structure from someone else. We are the someone else. Acosta Builders started as the framing crew other builders hired — running whole projects came after, and it came with the habit of getting the part nobody ever sees right.

Today we take ground-up builds, structural remodels, and additions directly for homeowners across Manatee and Sarasota counties, and we still frame for other contractors. Being hired by people who could do the work themselves is the reference that means the most to us.

What we do most

The three services we're known for

Seven trades under one license — but nearly every project starts in one of three places: building something new, reworking what is already standing, or framing the structure that carries it.

New Construction

We take ground-up projects from an empty lot to a finished, inspected building. One licensed contractor carries the whole thing — site work, foundation, framing, envelope, trade coordination, finishes — so there is no seam between phases where accountability quietly disappears.

Best fit for

  • Custom coastal homes on private lots
  • Commercial and multi-unit buildouts
  • Owners who want one contract, not six

Florida Certified General Contractor CGC1540129 — permitted and inspected end to end.

Remodeling

Most remodelers work around the structure. We open it. Pulling a bearing wall, resizing an opening, or re-framing a floor that has started to sag is routine work here — and that is the difference between changing how a house is laid out and just changing how it looks.

Best fit for

  • Opening up closed-off floor plans
  • Kitchen and bath reconfigurations
  • Structural repair and re-framing

Engineered, permitted, and documented — never done quietly behind drywall.

Explore remodeling

Framing

The trade we started in, and the one other contractors hire us for. Walls, floors, and roof systems set plumb and square, with the strap-and-clip schedule Manatee and Sarasota inspectors actually verify — on our own builds or as a scope we take for another builder.

Best fit for

  • Builders who need a framing crew
  • Ground-up and multi-unit structures
  • Re-framing and structural repair

Available as a framing subcontract — we arrive with a schedule and hit it.

The rest of what we do

Four trades that finish the build

The work that finishes a build — and the work most homeowners call us for on its own. Same crew, same licence, same standard.

Home addition by Acosta Builders in Bradenton, FL — new wing tied into the existing house with matched roofline and lap siding

Additions

Room additions and second-story expansions framed into your existing structure — matched rooflines, no visible seam.

Engineered tie-ins Window rough opening framed by Acosta Builders in Bradenton, FL — header, king and jack studs squared and sheathed, ready for an impact-rated unit

Windows

Impact-rated windows set over pan flashing and sealed in sequence — the detail that decides whether they leak in year three.

Wind-mitigation docs Entry door and soffit by Acosta Builders in Bradenton, FL — wood door with sidelites under a covered entry with ventilated beadboard soffit

Doors & Soffit

Doors hung true and sealed, plus ventilated soffit sized to the intake your attic actually needs.

Eave rot rebuilt first Fascia and siding by Acosta Builders in Bradenton, FL — lap siding with white fascia board, finished soffit, and trimmed corners at the roof edge

Fascias & Siding

Fascia and siding over repaired substrate, with the flashing that keeps water moving out of the wall.

Coastal-rated materials

All four are carpentry trades we perform in-house under Florida Certified General Contractor licence CGC1540129 — not brokered out to whoever is available that week.

Built for the Gulf Coast

Construction that stands up to Florida

Sun, salt, wind, and water are hard on buildings here. You work directly with the licensed crew doing the build — no layers, no runaround — and everything below is built to the codes that decide how a house comes through a storm.

The connections carry the load

Buildings come apart at the joints, not the lumber. Straps, clips, and hold-downs installed to the engineered schedule inspectors verify.

Wind mitigation, documented

Impact glazing is only half of it. Product approvals and installation photos are what let your insurer actually apply the credit at renewal.

Flood zones & the 50% rule

In a coastal flood zone, a remodel over half the structure value triggers full compliance. We scope that with your engineer before you commit.

Storm damage, rebuilt to code

Rot, failed framing, and impact damage cut back to sound material and rebuilt — documented as we go for your insurance adjuster.

How we work

What working with us actually looks like

The part most contractors leave vague: what you get in writing, what it costs you in disruption, and when we ask to be paid.

  1. 01

    Site visit

    We walk the property and tell you what the job really involves — including when it is not worth doing. Free, no obligation.

  2. 02

    Line-item estimate

    An itemised scope, not a lump sum. Anything priced as an allowance is labelled as one, so nothing becomes a surprise later.

  3. 03

    Permits & schedule

    Permits pulled, plus a start date and sequence — which weeks are loud, which rooms are unusable, when inspectors come.

  4. 04

    Build & close-out

    One point of contact throughout, and the punch list closed before we ask for final payment — not after.

Acosta Builders framed my new home on Longboat Key Florida. They did a great job framing the new home. They are on the job everyday working hard. The site was kept clean always. They always came back to do any required punch list. I've built over 1000 custom homes and I highly recommend them.

I recently hired Acosta Builders for additions to my new home, and I couldn't be happier with the results. I highly recommend Acosta to anyone looking for reliable and skilled carpenters. Their commitment to organization, quality, and customer satisfaction sets them apart. I would definitely hire them again for future projects.

Excellent experience with Acosta Builders I hired them for a home project this year, and from the very start, they were impressive. The staff responded quickly, gave me multiple great ideas, and helped clarify any questions I had.

Good questions

Answers before you commit

The things Gulf Coast homeowners ask us most — about code, cost, permits, and storms.

01Are you a licensed and insured contractor in Florida?

Yes. Acosta Builders is a State of Florida Certified General Contractor (license CGC1540129) and carries full liability insurance. You can verify our license anytime through the Florida DBPR license lookup.

02Do you build to Florida hurricane and wind-load codes?

Always. Every structure we frame or remodel meets the current Florida Building Code, including wind-load and impact requirements for our coastal region. Building to code protects your home and your investment.

03Can you help with post-storm repairs and rebuilds?

Yes. We handle structural repairs, re-framing, and full rebuilds after storm damage. We coordinate with your insurance adjuster and bring older structures up to current code in the process.

04Do you work in flood zones and FEMA elevation requirements?

We regularly build and remodel in coastal flood zones and coordinate with engineers and local building departments to keep your project compliant with elevation and substantial-improvement rules.

05How much does a project cost, and are estimates free?

Estimates are always free and carry no obligation. Cost depends on scope, materials, and site conditions — we provide clear written estimates with no vague ballparks or surprise charges.

06Do you pull permits and handle inspections?

Yes. We assist with permitting and coordinate required inspections so your project is fully documented and code-compliant — which also protects your property value at resale.
