01the possibilities
A renovation built around your home
A home renovation should improve the way your space looks, feels and functions. Whether you are updating a kitchen or bathroom, renovating a room or making improvements throughout your home, Lumber Lunatics brings skilled workmanship and more than 30 years of hands-on experience to every project.
Our renovation work can involve everything from removal of existing finishes and materials to repairs, drywall, flooring, cabinetry, doors, trim, painting and the finishing details that bring the space together. We handle both the carpentry and the surrounding renovation work, giving you one experienced team from start to finish.
Kevin personally evaluates and prices each project and remains hands-on throughout the work. As a small, owner-led business, we do not hand your project off to a rotating crew. You will know who is working in your home and who is responsible for the quality of the finished work.
Renovations can sometimes uncover conditions that could not be seen during the original estimate, such as hidden wood rot or other damage. If that happens, we will explain what we found, discuss the options and get your approval before any additional work moves forward. No unexpected work is simply added to your project without a conversation first.
Lumber Lunatics takes on renovation projects across Tallahassee and the surrounding Big Bend, from a single room to improvements throughout the home.

Kevin sees the space
Kevin prices it after he has seen the space and works with you on what it should become, then sends a detailed estimate.
-
Kevin on site throughout
Kevin is the one on site doing the work rather than handing it to a rotating crew. If the work uncovers something that could not be seen at the estimate, we stop and talk it through with you before anything else moves forward.

The finishing details
We go through the finishing details with you before we call the job done.
Home Renovations Pricing in Tallahassee
Every job is different. We offer free, no-obligation estimates so you know the price before any work starts.
03 no surprises
A change order you approved is not a surprise
Older homes turn up the most, but even a newer one can hide something nobody could see at the estimate. That possibility is written into our estimates and proposals, and you sign it before anything starts. So when something does come up, the work stops, Kevin walks you through it, and it becomes a change order you approve, rather than something you find out about afterwards.
- it was disclosed before you signed
- the work stops
- Kevin talks it through with you
- you approve the change order
You decide before it goes ahead
They gave us a detailed quote and kept us informed every step of the way. There were no surprises from them for hidden costs or additional fees. Everything was extremely transparent.

Home Renovations Questions, Answered
General
What does a renovation with Lumber Lunatics cover?
The carpentry side of it, inside the home and out. Inside, that is cabinetry, trim, doors, built-ins, sheetrock and finish work. Outside, it is decks, fences and gates, pergolas, Hardie siding, exterior doors, railings and steps. Kevin does the woodwork himself. Plumbing and electrical go to a licensed plumber or electrician, and he tells you which parts those are before you plan around us.
Do you take on a whole room at once?
Yes, the carpentry and finish of it. Kevin prices it after he has seen the space, works with you on what it should become, and is the one on site doing the work rather than handing it to a rotating crew.
Does the owner actually do the work?
Yes. Kevin is on every job. His son Lil Kevin works alongside him, and the person who prices your project is the person who builds it. There is no sales rep handing your job to a crew you have never met.
How big is your crew?
Three of us, and that is the whole company. Kevin and his son Lil Kevin are the two on site, and Amanda handles every call and inquiry. The two of them get through what a crew of four would.
Do you work on commercial buildings?
No, Lumber Lunatics works on homes rather than commercial buildings.
Pricing
Do you offer free estimates?
Yes. Kevin comes out and looks at the job with you and talks through the options. He does not price it on the spot, because materials and labor have to be worked out properly, so the detailed estimate comes to you afterwards. There is no charge and no obligation.
What payment methods do you accept?
Cash, check, zelle, and credit cards.
Trust
Is there a warranty on your work?
Yes. We provide a workmanship warranty on every project, with the specific terms spelled out in your written proposal before the work begins.
Do you handle plumbing and electrical work?
If your project needs major plumbing or electrical work, Kevin will tell you so and recommend you bring in a licensed plumber or electrician. He is not licensed for that work and he is not going to pretend otherwise. You will hear that at the estimate, not halfway through the job.
Are you insured?
Yes, Lumber Lunatics is insured on every project.
How far out are you booking?
Scheduling varies based on the scope of your project and our current workload. We will provide our current availability when we discuss your project.
Service Area
What areas do you serve?
Tallahassee and the surrounding Big Bend area, roughly an hour out. That includes Crawfordville, Quincy, Havana, Monticello, Midway, Blountstown, and Sneads. If you are near the edge of that, just ask.
