A licensed company, not a guy with a truck
Florida Legacy Construction is a licensed Florida building contractor serving Marion, Sumter, and Lake Counties, built on the idea that homeowners deserve a builder they can verify, hold accountable, and trust with the whole project.
Built on the license, not just the name
Florida Legacy Construction is led by Travis Strickland, a licensed Florida building contractor (CBC1268994). The company handles kitchen and bathroom remodels, room additions, ADUs, custom homes, whole-home renovations, and commercial build-outs across Marion, Sumter, and Lake Counties.
The standard is the same on every job, whether Travis or a project manager is the one on site: licensed work, permits pulled when the scope requires them, honest scopes, and a written 1-year workmanship warranty. That is what it means to hire a licensed company instead of an unlicensed crew you cannot verify.
The people behind the license
You are not handing your home to a call center. Here is the crew that plans, manages, and stands behind every project we take on.
Travis Strickland
OwnerTravis started Florida Legacy Construction to be the licensed, fully insured alternative in a market with too many unlicensed remodelers. He stays hands-on from the first walkthrough to the final inspection, because in a market this size the company's reputation rides on every job. Kitchen remodel or commercial build-out, the standard is the same: permits when required, everything in writing, and work you can verify.
Dakota Leffers
Pre-Construction ManagerDakota runs the front end of every project, handling estimating, scheduling, and keeping you posted on progress. He brings 16 years in the trades and comes from a whole family of tradespeople who ran their own businesses. A licensed notary known for being honest and dependable, he moved from Fort Myers to Ocala in 1998, where he is a proud father of three, an active church member, and always up for kayaking, swimming, or fishing.
Bob Waddington
Project Manager and Field SuperintendentBob is a third-generation master carpenter with more than 30 years in construction, and he is your point of contact for how the work actually gets done. He is OSHA 10 certified, a licensed notary, and a certified forklift operator and trainer. Originally from Andover, Massachusetts, he has called Ocala home for 23 years.
Grandin Willcox
Assistant Project SupervisorGrandin supports the field team day to day, keeping jobs moving and clients in the loop. He has four years in construction and is finishing a business degree alongside the work. A Winter Park native and former college football player, he carries a 2 handicap on the golf course when he is not on a jobsite.
