Owner of Tropic Renovations

FL State Licensed Certified Residential Contractor CRC1333093

Jeff LEXVOLD

Growing up on a rural farm in southern Minnesota, Jeff learned at an early age the true meaning of hard work and diligence on the details thanks to his dad. For nearly two decades, Jeff worked on  a construction crew where he gained the experience and knowledge he needed to venture out into the home renovation industry. He has personally worked on and help renovate over 1,000 homes prior to moving to Florida with his wife Dori in 2013. In 2017 Jeff officially started Tropic Renovations and shortly after got his state certified contractor’s license allowing his large crew of professional technicians to do the large remodeling projects they love to do.

Jeff and Dori have two grown and married sons who still love the Minnesota winters and are new grandparents to twin boys and two precious girls. Jeff enjoys getting out on golf course, he isn’t that good but can keep up with the ones who are.

He typically works a six day week, but you won’t find him working on Sundays. Jeff and his family take this one day a week to spend time with each other and worship at New Day Christian Church  in North Port where Jeff serves on the Safety and Service Team. When you hire Tropic Renovations, the quality of work will not only be superb but 10% of profits go back into the local community through church ministry initiatives and the globe by supporting two children in Compassion International and World Vision. The picture above was taken at the awards banquet when Jeff and his company won the 2022 “Business Of The Year” award from the Venice Chamber of Commerce  in the medium sized company category, a mountain top moment indeed!

You will typically see Jeff in a tropical button down shirt  and shorts, as a tribute to his dad and best friend, Dewey,  who passed away in September, 2015. Dewey was always 'IN'  the tropics even when living in MN.

Family and Community Roots

Jeff and Dori have two grown, married sons who still love Minnesota winters and are grandparents to twin boys and two precious girls. Jeff enjoys golfing, though he admits he’s not very good but can keep up with better players.

He typically works six days a week but reserves Sundays for family time and worship at New Day Christian Church in North Port, where he serves on the Safety and Service Team both services every Sunday and during special events.

Commitment to Quality  
and Giving Back

When you hire Tropic Renovations, you can expect superb quality work. Additionally, 10% of profits go back into the local community through church ministry initiatives and globally by supporting two children through Compassion International and World Vision.

Here is one of our girls, Germaris from Nicaragua who we financially support every month so she can go to school, have medical care, and nutritious meals every day. Our clients love that they are contributing humanitarian needs to those in 3rd world countries who need assistance for basic living needs.

Award-Winning Excellence  
and Reliability

With two decades of experience, an integrity-minded team, and a fully insured company with a $2-million policy, Tropic Renovations is a 5-Star rated residential remodeling company. We won the Business of the Year award in 2022 from the Venice Area Chamber of Commerce for the medium-sized company category.

Tropic also gives back to its Christian church and community while ensuring renovations are done accurately and affordably. You will be very pleased you hired Tropic Renovations!

The Tropic Truck

If you see the “Dewey” bird, it’s Jeff in the Tropic Truck!
If you see these signs driving around town it’s someone from the Team Tropic, so wave “Hi!”….

Pappa Dewey

Meet the man behind the whole tropic theme….my dad Duane, or better known as “Dewey”. Growing up in Minnesota, dad was probably the only guy wearing  a Hawaiian tropical shirt even when it was below zero degrees.

Prior to his passing away while he lived here with Jeff and Dori, he had a major role to play in what the company would be named and the theme. So, Dewey  is much alive as we go out, many even wearing his shirts today.
