What We Do 

Our principal focus is residential remodeling.  We also design and build custom homes.  For nearly three decades Randy has been helping clients change and improve their living environments. As we all travel the long path of life we go through many changes in the requirements for our homes. When we have children, we need more space. When those kids leave the nest, we need less space or different kinds of space. When an elderly parent or returning child needs to move in with us, we need more of a special kind of space.  We will help you design and build the spaces that meet your needs. We also remodel and construct offices, retail space, and commercial facilities.  Our experience and expertise include:

Kitchens Bathrooms Additions Master Suites Mother-In-Law Suites Screened Porches Sunrooms Decks Patios Garages Storage Buildings Shops Water damage repair Fire damage restoration Termite damage restoration Foundation repair Structural repair and alteration Make old doors look and work like new again Countertops Cabinets Windows Roofs Roof-overs (turn flat roofs into pitched roofs) Siding Painting, interior and exterior Flooring Ceramic tile Custom Cabinets and Shelves Storage Safe rooms Fire resistant vaults Gutters  New custom homes Commercial

Design:

 

Randy is a Florida Registered architect as well as a state certified building contractor.  He firmly believes the chemistry between himself and his clients is as important as the design challenge and that's why he enjoys developing lasting friendships while helping his clients explore several different options and having fun with the whole project.  He "gets into your head" so he can design YOUR project.  Randy is very good at combining desires and design concepts with the hard realities of limited budgets and he excels at guiding clients through the design process.  Knowing how to build it helps during the design. The construction process begins before a hammer hits the first nail. During the design phase, Randy works closely with his handpicked, professional subcontractors, obtaining their expertise and experience.  This crucial step is invaluable to delivering a successful project while controlling costs at the same time.

Construction:

"We understand that we are working in YOUR HOME, NOT that you are living in our construction site!"  This trademarked advertising hook is much more than a catchy slogan.  It embodies our company's whole attitude and approach to remodeling.  It is our creed.  We know living without a kitchen or a bathroom is extremely disruptive to our clients' daily lives.  Coming home to a messy yard full of debris, trash, construction materials strewn all over, or dust covering Mom's china hutch is simply unacceptable.  We go to extraordinary lengths to protect your home and keep it clean, inside and out.  We install floor protection appropriate for each type of flooring. We erect sealed and gasketed dust barriers to isolate the work areas.  These barriers have zippered doors in them so clients can easily move through their homes.  We run dust extraction pumps while we work to keep the dusty areas under negative pressure.  This moves airborn dust outside, preventing it from settling on your linens or furniture.  We clean the work site every day.  We keep it clear of debris during work hours because a clean site is a safer site for us and others.  The site is cleaned up and organinzed at the end of each day.  We even vacuum every day.

Quality and Warranty:

Construction to Randy and his crews is much more than just building something and collecting the check.  Quality work is extremely important to Randy and his crews and his subs.  Carefull attention to detail, doing the work correctly and to a higher standard than most others allows Randall E. Dender, Architect-Builder, LLC to guarantee their work with a 2 year warranty.  Double that offered by most contractors.  High quality work, and perhaps a high quality experience also lead to his clients referring their friends to Randy.  93% of our work comes from referrals and repeat business.  We place high value on a pleased client.  Visit our testimonials page for evidence of this philosophy. 

Wind Compliance:

After several record hurricane seasons, Florida residents are more concerned than ever about hurricane preparedness. To obtain a building permit in Florida, it’s now required that all homes and additions be designed to accommodate high wind loads. Randy's education and architectural license allow him to provide these wind analysis calculations and submittals required by the building departments for all of the projects he builds.

EPA Lead-Safe Certified Firm:

Beginning on April 22, 2010, anyone working in any residential structure built before 1978 is required to be certified by the Environmental Protection Agency to safely work around lead-base paint.  Anyone doing so without this certification is subject to fines of up to $37,500 per day and put occupants at risk of lead poisoning.  The very young and the very old are especially vulnerable.  Our certification number is NAT-27404-1.
