Founder & Software Engineer
Engineering Clarity for Florida Homeowners
My name is Joseph Thomas. I am a Computer Science graduate who moved to Jacksonville, Florida in 2014. Before building tech platforms full-time, I spent 11 years teaching at the university level, breaking down complex technical subjects into clear, actionable frameworks for students.
Living and working on the First Coast, I noticed a recurring frustration among homeowners: trying to find realistic, localized remodeling or replacement costs without getting trapped in aggressive lead-generation funnels. Combining my academic background and software engineering expertise with local market research, I built Sunstate Home Costs to give homeowners clear, algorithmic cost breakdowns adjusted for regional labor rates, municipal permit fees, and Florida-specific wind-load requirements.
