From Twelve Oaks to the Bay Crest canals, we keep Town 'n' Country's 1960s block homes solid.
Town 'n' Country grew from a 1950s dairy farm into one of Tampa's largest starter-home communities — mile after mile of 1960s and 70s concrete-block ranches on the dense grid between Hillsborough Avenue and Waters. Those houses are turning sixty: galvanized plumbing splices, terrazzo under the carpet, popcorn ceilings and original jalousie-era windows. Closer to the bay, canal homes in Bay Crest Park and Dana Shores sit in flood zones off Rocky Creek, where water intrusion and salt corrosion drive constant repairs. We work on these block homes every week, patching, painting and updating them room by room.

A small sample of work we've completed for Town 'N' Country homeowners.
Cut water-damaged drywall to a clean four-foot line in a canal-front block home, confirmed the slab and block were dry, hung moisture-resistant board, then textured and repainted to match the rest of the house.
Repainted a 1970s Twelve Oaks home with the original Spanish-style arched doorways — patched settling cracks at the arch shoulders first, then two coats in warm neutrals on walls, ceilings and trim.
Replaced corroded supply lines, angle stops and a leaking kitchen faucet in a 1960s block ranch — the original galvanized stubs needed careful adapting to modern braided connectors.
Swapped corroded exterior hinges, handleset and weather-stripping on a canal home near the airport — marine-grade stainless throughout so the bay air doesn't eat it again in two years.
Removed worn carpet in a Town 'n' Country ranch, then floated waterproof LVP over the original terrazzo — no glue, no fasteners, so the mid-century floor stays intact underneath.
Mounted a 75" TV on a painted block wall using concrete sleeve anchors and a paintable cable raceway — block construction needs masonry anchors, not the drywall toggles most installers bring.
Repaired a ceiling section after an AC condensate leak, then blended new knockdown texture into the surrounding 1970s finish so the patch disappears — texture matching is half the job in these Town 'n' Country ranches.
Updated a hall bath in a 1970s block home — new 36" vanity, faucet, comfort-height toilet, framed mirror and a fresh bead of mildew-resistant caulk at the tub surround.

Yes — most of our Town 'n' Country calls are CBS ranches from the 1958–1975 build-out. We carry masonry anchors, adapt to furred-out interior walls and know how these houses were plumbed and wired originally.
Yes. In Bay Crest Park, Dana Shores and the streets near Rocky Creek we cut water-damaged drywall to a clean line, confirm everything is dry, rebuild with moisture-resistant board and match the existing texture and paint.
Yes — block and plaster-over-block walls need sleeve or wedge anchors rated for masonry, not drywall toggles. We mount TVs, shelving and cabinets on Town 'n' Country block walls weekly.
Yes — we float waterproof LVP over terrazzo with no glue or fasteners, so the original mid-century floor stays intact if you or a future owner ever wants to restore it.
Yes — corroded hinges, handlesets, screen frames and exterior fixtures are routine near Old Tampa Bay. We spec stainless and coastal-rated replacements so the fix lasts.
Yes — vanity and faucet swaps, backsplashes, lighting and full refreshes. We're used to working around original copper-to-galvanized splices and undersized 1960s shutoff valves.
If the home was built before the early 1980s, the texture can contain asbestos, so we recommend a quick lab test before any large-scale removal. Small patch-and-match repairs are usually straightforward — we do them all the time.
