VL Pro Construction Marks 22 Years in Business with More than 1,300 Completed Tile, Shower and Flooring Projects

Most contractors finish a project and move on to the next one. For Vlad Leynter, owner of VL Pro Construction, every finished bathroom has always had another job attached to it, the one that could come from the homeowner's recommendation. That philosophy has carried the Florida Gulf Coast contractor to an uncommon milestone: 22 years in business, more than 1,300 completed projects, and a 5.0 rating from over 100 clients.

"We built this company around one idea: do work people are comfortable putting their own name behind." VL Pro Construction specializes in custom showers, tile and natural stone, and hard surface flooring throughout Bradenton, Sarasota, Lakewood Ranch, Palmetto, Ellenton, Parrish, Venice, Nokomis, Longboat Key, Siesta Key and Anna Maria Island. After more than two decades in the trade, Leynter says the company's biggest competitive advantage isn't a material or a design trend. It's trust. The Work Customers Never See Homeowners see the tile, the stone, the glass and the fixtures. What they don't see usually matters more: waterproofing, drainage, substrate preparation and the installation system beneath the finished surface. That, Leynter said, is where homeowners make their most expensive mistake. "The cheapest shower can look exactly like the expensive shower on day one," he said. "The difference is what happens years later." Tile and shower remodels rank among the least transparent categories in home improvement. Bids vary by thousands of dollars with no visible explanation, and the reason is usually hidden behind the drywall. VL Pro Construction is a Schluter®-certified installer and a member of the National Tile Contractors Association. Every shower is built to a full waterproofing standard, Schluter systems, linear drains, built-in niches and benches, and every installation carries 100% full warranty coverage. The company is BBB A+ rated and fully licensed and insured in the State of Florida. Those credentials aren't decoration. They describe a standard the market often skips. Turning 22 Years Into 22 Lessons To mark its 22nd anniversary, the company is turning some of what it has learned across 1,300-plus projects into a resource homeowners can use before hiring anyone. The free 22-Point Bathroom Renovation Guide walks homeowners through waterproofing, contractor selection, tile and stone, flooring preparation and project planning, the decisions that are easiest to overlook before demolition begins. "An educated homeowner is actually easier to work with," Leynter said. "We'd rather someone understand what they're paying for and ask us hard questions than choose a contractor based on one number at the bottom of a quote."

The first is how the work is run. This is a family-owned business where the owner is on the project. Clients get a direct line rather than a call center, and the company is known for 24/7 responsiveness during active builds. When questions come up mid-project, homeowners reach the person actually doing the work. The second is the consultation. VL Pro Construction offers free in-home design consultations with no sales pressure, including telling h...
