Remodeling (Kitchen & Bath) in Treasure Island: local notes
A barrier-island beach town between St. Pete Beach and John's Pass, with canal-front homes, low-rise condos and vacation rentals.
Condo remodels (34% of homes) need association approval, and flooring usually has to meet sound-underlayment rules.
With a median age of 62.7, curbless showers, wider doorways and grab bars are among the most-requested remodels in Treasure Island.
Before listing, smaller cosmetic updates usually beat a full remodel on return.
