Melini Construction LLC is a Florida State Certified Building Contractor specializing in foundations, based in Tampa.
Melini Construction is owned and run by Vinny Melini, a Florida State Certified Building Contractor, license CBC1265093. Rather than taking on every kind of remodel, we concentrate on one thing: the structure underneath your home.
That means foundations, footers, piers, girder beams, floor joists, and the crawl spaces they live in. Most of the homes we work on are older, many are historic, and a good number have original foundations that have been carrying the house for the better part of a century.
Specializing matters in this work. A contractor who does foundations every day knows the difference between a crack that is cosmetic and one that is structural, between a pier that is ugly and one that has stopped carrying load, and between a crawl space that is normally damp for Florida and one that is actively rotting the framing above it.
It also means we are comfortable telling you when the answer is that nothing serious is wrong. That happens more often than the industry likes to admit, and our clients tend to remember it.

Issues itemized, explained, and priced, so you can read it, think about it, and compare it. No pressure to sign anything on the spot.
Permitted, code compliant, licensed structural work. Done the right way, in the right order, with the right materials for this climate.
We come back out when we say we will. Clients regularly mention the follow up service as the thing that surprised them most.
“I was recommended to use Vinny from Melini Construction for a foundation estimate while under contract with the house, and I would recommend using his services again. He had prompt availability, wrote a detailed write up for review, and itemized issues and pricing for me to consider, and gave all the info needed to make the right decisions on my home.”
Lindsay Young“I had my crawl space inspected by Vinny. He inspected it for mold and moisture issues and explained everything clearly before starting the work. The team installed fans and two support beams, and they also treated the minor mold problem they found. What really stood out was their follow up service.”
Sandy Deacon“I was referred to Melini Construction by my realtor when purchasing my home, which had some termite damage to the foundation. Vinny and his crew proved to be extremely professional and reliable. Pricing was fair and transparent, and Vinny communicated the specifics of the project with clarity.”
Robert ForsTell Vinny what you are seeing. Sloping floors, cracks, a musty crawl space, or an inspection report you need a second opinion on. You will get a straight answer and an itemized, honest estimate.
