Who we are
REO Partner is REO Partner LLC, a Sarasota general contracting company. Behind the name are 20+ years of construction experience and 350+ completed projects, spanning ground-up construction, commercial buildouts and renovations. The recent Florida work tells the story best: a 4,900 square foot office and tenant buildout on 8th Street West in Bradenton, a 7,000 square foot medical office on Manatee Avenue East, a restaurant buildout in Sarasota taken from shell to open for business, and a spa interior in downtown Sarasota.
This site is the home of that buildout work: offices, medical and dental practices, restaurants, retail and service businesses across Sarasota and Manatee counties. Ground-up commercial construction runs under the same company and the same license when a project calls for it.
What we do
- Buildouts by business type: offices, medical, dental, restaurants, retail, fitness studios, salons and spas, veterinary clinics and warehouse and flex space.
- Lease-driven work: tenant improvements built to the work letter, and remodels of occupied space phased so the business keeps running.
- The regulated parts done right: sealed drawings coordinated, plan review filed with the correct local office, fire and accessibility review planned for, and food-service or healthcare requirements flagged before they become surprises. Our permits guide covers every office in both counties.
How we are different
- You deal with the contractor. The person who walks your space and writes your scope is the contractor whose license is on the permit, not a commissioned salesperson.
- Published benchmarks, not hidden pricing. Our cost guides cite named industry sources, and your estimate is itemized in writing before work begins.
- A 3-Year workmanship warranty. In writing, in your contract.
- Permits are our job, not yours. We file with the right office, coordinate plan review and schedule the inspections.
- Buildouts inside operating buildings. Dust containment, after-hours scheduling and property-manager coordination are part of the plan, not favors.
One company, one license
Everything runs under the same Florida Certified General Contractor license, CGC1536167, held by our qualifying agent, Illarion (Larry) Krotenko. You can verify it with the State of Florida in under a minute, and we encourage you to.
A note on our numbers. The 350+ completed projects and 20+ years reflect our full construction record, including work outside Florida. We would rather explain a number than inflate one.
