DeLand Custom Home Builder & Contractor

At GRIT Companies, our “Slab to Shingles” shell package includes the complete structural envelope of the building. This encompasses the concrete foundation (slab), masonry (CMU block walls), and all structural framing, including the installation of roof trusses and roof sheathing (dry-in). By handling the entire shell, we ensure structural integrity and a seamless hand-off to the interior finishing trades.

When you work with GRIT Companies, you don’t. We are a dual-licensed firm holding both General Contractor (CBC1269138) and Roofing Contractor (CCC1337096) licenses. This allows us to provide a comprehensive warranty on your home’s exterior and ensures your roof is installed correctly the first time, without the communication gaps that often occur when hiring multiple subcontractors.

The timeline for a home renovation in Volusia County depends on the project scope and permitting requirements. A minor interior remodel may take 4–8 weeks, while a major structural addition or whole-home renovation can take 4–6 months. Because we are local to DeLand, we are experts at navigating the local City and County permitting processes to keep your project moving efficiently.

While the minimum code may allow for lower strength, GRIT Companies typically utilizes 3,000 PSI concrete for our foundations and slabs in Central Florida. This higher strength is essential for our climate, as it better resists cracking and moisture intrusion, providing a more durable base for your custom home or addition.

Yes. We offer a “Concept to Completion” service. We work closely with local architects and engineers to ensure your plans are optimized for both cost-efficiency and Florida Building Code compliance. We handle the entire permitting process with the City of DeLand or Volusia County to ensure your project starts on a solid legal and structural foundation.
