Services in Bartow, FL
Bartow is the Polk County seat, located 12 miles southeast of Lakeland on US-98. Evangelisto Construction's Lakeland office is 15 minutes away, and we regularly complete remodeling and construction projects for Bartow homeowners.
Bartow has a significant stock of historic homes from the early 20th century — many with galley-style or functionally outdated kitchens that benefit enormously from modernization. We're experienced working with older construction and plumbing configurations common in Bartow's established neighborhoods. From cabinet replacements to full gut renovations — we handle every phase, including permits and architect drawings.

Bartow's spacious lots in areas like the historic district and Lake Garfield neighborhood make it well-suited for ground-floor home additions. We frequently assess setback requirements and HOA rules in older Bartow subdivisions before designing any addition. Master suites, second stories, guest rooms — we design, permit, and build additions that look and function like they were always part of the home.

With Bartow's close-knit community character and many multi-generational families, in-law suite additions are a natural fit. We've built attached and detached in-law suites for Bartow families looking to keep aging parents close without giving up independent living space. Attached additions, garage conversions, and detached guest houses — all designed for real family life and built to last.

We serve Bartow homeowners throughout the historic district, Lake Garfield, Lake Clinch, and the neighborhoods along Main Street South and Van Fleet Trail.
Before any commitment, Doug sketches your project layout so you see exactly what you're getting. Then a licensed architect creates stamped construction drawings.
Our office manager files permits directly with Polk County or the City of Bartow building department. You never deal with the permit desk.
Doug checks existing structure, slab, and walls before pricing any project. No surprise change orders once construction starts.
Talk to homeowners we've worked for before hiring us. An honest contractor should always welcome that conversation.
Our Approach
Doug sketches your project during the free consultation. No guesswork about what you're buying into before a dollar is spent.
We inspect before we quote. Existing conditions are assessed before the price is set — not discovered halfway through demo.
This isn't a large company that assigns a project manager you never meet. Doug Evangelisto oversees every project personally.
We know local building codes, local inspectors, and how Polk County homes are built — because we've worked on hundreds of them.
"Plan and save money before starting a project" — Doug's own advice to every client. We don't sell you scope you don't need.
Every project — kitchen, addition, or MIL suite — comes with a 2-year warranty on workmanship. Not every contractor offers this.
Call us today for a free in-home consultation. Doug will visit your Bartow home, sketch the project, and give you a written estimate — no obligation, completely free.
