Gulf Coast Homes & Remodeling is a veteran‑owned, owner‑operated builder delivering affordable luxury with veteran precision to homeowners across Sarasota & Manatee County.

Who we are

Gulf Coast Homes & Remodeling is a full‑service home remodeling and new home construction company based in Sarasota, Florida. From carefully planned kitchen and bathroom remodels to full additions and custom new builds, the focus is on creating homes that are beautiful, durable, and genuinely comfortable to live in.

As a veteran‑owned and operated small business, the company is built on reliability, attention to detail, and a commitment to doing what was promised, when it was promised. Every project is treated as a personal referral, and the goal is simple: turn your vision into a finished space you are proud to show off.

Led by a former U.S. Army Ranger

Gulf Coast Homes & Remodeling is led by Brett Willis, a Florida Licensed Certified Residential Contractor (CRC1334411) and former 3/75 U.S. Army Ranger. Before launching the company, Brett spent years managing high‑end coastal residential projects on Siesta Key, Casey Key, Anna Maria, Longboat Key, and throughout the Sarasota area.

My background shows up on every job: clear plans, clean jobsites, tight coordination with trade partners & a refusal to cut corners. Clients work directly with me from the first walk‑through to the final punch‑out, so there is always one accountable person who knows the project inside & out.

How we work with you

Remodeling or building does not have to feel chaotic. Gulf Coast Homes & Remodeling uses a structured, transparent process to keep you informed and in control at every step. From the first meeting, you will know what to expect, what it will roughly cost, and how the timeline will work.

Selections, approvals, daily logs, photos, and invoices are organized in an online client portal so you are never stuck digging through old emails or wondering who is on site. Weekly—and often daily—updates keep you in the loop, and any changes are documented and approved in writing so there are no surprises.​

Our promise to Gulf Coast homeowners

We promise to listen first and recommend solutions that make sense for how you actually live, not just what looks good on a drawing.

We promise to respect your home, your time, and your neighbors with professional behavior and tidy, well‑managed jobsites.

We promise to stand behind the work with clear documentation, licensed credentials, and defined warranty support, not vague assurances.

Homeowners who want a builder bringing both craftsmanship & military‑grade follow‑through, Gulf Coast Homes & Remodeling is ready to help you plan what is next for your home.
