About
A Builder That Owns the Hard Part
Romco Builders is a licensed Florida general contractor. On the residential side that means custom homes, waterfront work and substantial renovation — with the ground works self-performed rather than handed away.
Bring the drawings at whatever stage they are. An honest range and the decisions that move it, before anyone quotes.

Why the ground matters more here than anywhere
On a Florida waterfront lot the water table is a few feet down and tidally connected, the seawall may be at the end of its life, and the flood elevation sets the entire ground floor. Those conditions decide the program.
Most residential builders subcontract all of it. We self-perform dewatering, support of excavation and deep foundations, which is unusual in residential work and is the reason our programs tend to survive the first month.
On the portfolio
Our leadership has delivered interiors at the Pierre, 15 Central Park West, 812 and 1136 Fifth Avenue and 730 Park Avenue, along with institutional work in New York including the United Nations "Arc of the Return".
That is leadership experience delivered before and alongside this firm — not this company's project history. We write it that way deliberately, because the alternative is a false claim that a lot of construction marketing makes casually.
How we price
A range with the decisions that move it, before a number that pretends to precision. Allowances built from real products with named benchmarks rather than round figures. A stated allowance for concealed conditions on renovation work.
And a straight answer about whether your drawings actually support a fixed price. Frequently they do not, and saying so costs us jobs we would rather not have.
Licensing
Romco Builders is a licensed Florida general contractor. Trade work requiring separate certification is performed under the appropriate certification. Verify any license with the state before signing anything, with us or anyone else.
