J O DeLotto & Sons, Inc., established in 1946, is a premier general contractor and custom home builder located in Tampa, Florida. Founded by Julius O. 'Pop' DeLotto, the company began as a construction management business focused on commercial remodeling. Over the decades, DeLotto has expanded its service offerings and has become synonymous with quality construction and craftsmanship in the Tampa Bay community. Under the leadership of Pop's son, Julius C. 'Jay' DeLotto, and subsequently Lyle Blanden, the company saw sustained growth by emphasizing new construction and innovative design build services.
DeLotto's dedication to integrity, craftsmanship, and customer-centric solutions has won them accolades, including the Small Business of the Year award from the Greater Tampa Chamber of Commerce in 1996, coinciding with their 50th business anniversary. Throughout periods of economic downturn, including the recession years of the late 2000s, the company maintained its commitments to staff and employee benefits, showcasing its commitment to its people.
Today, DeLotto is guided by a seasoned ownership team, including Craig Lamberson, Doug Littrell, Wayne Fernandez, Darrin Thomson, and Jeff Doan, who continue to lead the firm into new construction ventures. DeLotto recognizes the profound impact buildings have on communities, creating spaces that serve as educational institutions, healthcare facilities, artistic centers, and homes, while reinforcing lasting relationships with clients.
As Tampa’s trusted construction partner, DeLotto aims to provide extraordinary craftsmanship and effective solutions, proving their philosophy that the structures they build are more than just buildings; they are vital parts of the community's fabric.
