Custom home builder in Ponte Vedra, FL

Ponte Vedra's 1970s and 1980s homes were built before Florida's current coastal wind-load and moisture standards took effect. Renovating these properties often involves upgrading windows to impact-rated units, improving exterior wall assemblies to handle wind-driven rain, and replacing original HVAC and plumbing systems that have reached the end of their service life. A kitchen or bathroom remodel in a 40-year-old Ponte Vedra home is rarely just a cosmetic project.

Planned communities in Ponte Vedra, including Sawgrass and several gated golf-course neighborhoods, have architectural review processes that govern exterior changes. An addition or new outdoor structure needs to meet both the community's design standards and St. Johns County or Duval County zoning requirements, depending on which side of the county line the property sits on. We review both sets of requirements before finalizing any design so there are no conflicts at the approval stage.

Pricing transparency is something homeowners in Ponte Vedra consistently ask about before committing to a renovation or build. Our approach is to develop a detailed scope of work before providing a cost estimate, so the number reflects the actual project rather than a rough guess that changes as work progresses. For renovation projects in older coastal homes, we also identify likely unknowns, such as what may be found behind walls or under flooring, and discuss how those will be handled if they arise, so there are no surprises mid-project.
