Licensed foundation repair, inspections, and crawl space work for St. Petersburg homes.
St. Pete is full of the older homes we specialize in, and we work there constantly. We have done complete foundation replacements on St. Petersburg homes from start to finish.
Melini Construction is a Florida State Certified Building Contractor, license CBC1265093, and St. Petersburg is squarely in our service area. Being across the bay, it is ground we know well. Around here that usually means older homes on pier and beam foundations over a crawl space, and those are exactly the houses we specialize in.
For St. Petersburg homeowners and buyers we handle foundation repair, foundation inspections & reports, footers & pier replacement, crawl space repair, complete foundation replacement, and the structural repairs that come with them. Whether you are watching a floor slope, smelling something musty under the house, or sitting on an inspection report with a foundation section you do not understand, you get the same thing: an honest look, a written and itemized report, and repairs done by the book.
Inspection periods move fast. We keep prompt availability, work 7 days a week, and turn around detailed written reports with itemized pricing so you can make a real decision, or negotiate, before you close. Realtors and home inspectors across Tampa Bay refer their clients to us for exactly this.
Florida is hard on foundations. Humidity, sandy and shifting soils, high water tables, and termites all work against the structure under your floors, and older St. Petersburg homes have been standing through it for decades. That is not a reason to panic, it is a reason to have someone qualified actually look before you spend money.
Settling, cracking, and failing foundations repaired properly, by a state certified building contractor.

Mostly moisture and age. Florida humidity, high water tables, sandy or shifting soil, drainage running toward the house, and termites all work on the structure underneath. In older St. Petersburg homes on pier and beam, it usually starts with a footing that crumbles, a pier that stops carrying load, or a beam weakened by rot.
It comes down to how much of the structure is affected and what has to happen below grade, which is why we inspect before quoting. You get an itemized written estimate showing each item and its cost, so you can compare bids honestly or stage the work.
No. St. Petersburg is in our normal Tampa Bay service area, so you get the same pricing and the same licensed contractor as anywhere else we work.
