Smart & Handy Renovations

Specialties

Smart & Handy Renovations specializes in total renovation projects for REO and distressed properties for investors. We love to take a beat up, run down and totally neglected single family home or condominium and turn it into a newly renovated livable rental or property for resale. We handle everything from demolition to rebuild in the kitchens, bathrooms, flooring, painting, etc. We also coordinate the entire construction project including the HVAC vendors, roofers, plumbers and electricians if needed. Let us help you turn that nightmare property into something of value. We have over 20 years experience in renovations and close to 40 years experience in Florida real estate and business. We know all the tricks of the trade because we not only have done hundreds of projects over the years but we also own and manage dozens of properties ourselves. We know what it takes to get the job done right — the first time and under budget!

History

Established in 1988.

The cornerstone of Smart & Handy Renovations is Alexander Emelichev who has been involved in the construction trade for almost 20 years. He began in Clearwater, Florida doing vinyl siding for new construction. In 2000 he had a family emergency back in his hometown of Saratov, Russia and was forced to pick up and return there for the benefit of his young son.

During the past 13 years Alex has gone from being a subcontractor to being the «GC», as we call it here in America, where he has worked on building commercial building from the ground up as well as renovations for investors in the eve growing condominium market in Russia. They lay the foundation, pour the concrete, erect the walls, handle the electrical and plumbing as well as all of the finish work including intricate drywall and wood finishes.
