ABOUT KOLINA CONSTRUCTION
Smart Home & Luxury Remodeling Specialists | Sarasota, Bradenton, Tampa & St. Petersburg
Since 2019, Kolina Construction has evolved from a family-owned remodeling company into a Florida-focused smart home and renovation specialist serving Lakewood Ranch, Palmetto, Bradenton, Tampa, and St. Petersburg.
Today, our work centers on three core areas designed for how Gulf Coast homeowners actually live:
Motorized Blinds and Smart Shades
We design and install premium motorized shading systems, including Powershades, that provide UV protection, energy efficiency, privacy, and seamless smart integration. In Florida’s climate, automated window treatments are not just a luxury, they are a functional upgrade that improves comfort and protects interiors year-round.
Home Automation
From whole-home control systems to integrated audio, lighting, and climate management, we help homeowners simplify and elevate daily living. As certified Control4 professionals, we create intuitive systems that bring modern convenience into every room.
Luxury Renovations
We continue to take on select kitchen, bath, and full-home remodels, delivering timeless craftsmanship, detailed project management, and clear communication from start to finish.
Our approach is intentional. We focus on high-quality installations, personalized service, and hands-on attention at every stage. The goal is not volume. It is precision, trust, and results that last.

Meet John Schmalzried, Owner
John Schmalzried brings over 15 years of hands-on experience in home renovation, design, and project management. As the founder and sole owner of Kolina Construction, John personally oversees each job to ensure quality and consistency from start to finish.
His work is informed by real-world knowledge, partnerships with leading vendors, and a commitment to craftsmanship. Whether installing custom motorized blinds, integrating a home automation system, or handling a full-scale home renovation, John delivers results that reflect his high standards and the homeowner’s vision.
When not managing projects, John enjoys golfing and camping with his wife and daughter. The name Kolina Construction was inspired by Ko Olina, Hawaii, where John and his wife were married, and a place that continues to shape their shared vision for quality and balance.
