Historic restoration, renovation and new home construction in Ponte Vedra
Before it was one of the most desirable addresses on the First Coast, this stretch of coastline was known as Mineral City, a mining operation extracting minerals from the beach. When the Ponte Vedra Beach Corporation took over in 1942, the transformation was deliberate and unhurried. Lagoons carved from mining pits, curving roads laid over raw land, a small golf course expanded into something worth traveling for.
The Ponte Vedra Inn and Club, founded in 1928, was among the earliest landmarks and remains one today. TPC Sawgrass, home of THE PLAYERS Championship, established Ponte Vedra on the global stage as a premier golf destination. The cultural scene has grown to match. The Ponte Vedra Concert Hall draws performers year-round, and the Cultural Center at Ponte Vedra Beach supports exhibitions, classes and events that reflect a community serious about quality of life.
Building and renovating in Ponte Vedra means working in a context that expects excellence, in design, in execution and in the finished product. That expectation is one we share.
AREA CONSIDERATIONS
Planning to build, renovate or remodel a home in Ponte Vedra?
Much of Ponte Vedra falls within St. Johns County jurisdiction rather than the City of Jacksonville, which means permitting runs through county processes. Coastal setback regulations, flood zone requirements and community design standards vary by specific location and development type. Ponte Vedra also includes several planned communities with their own covenants and architectural review requirements. We’ll determine what applies to your specific property and lot during the planning phase.

WHAT WE DO IN PONTE VEDRA
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Most of Ponte Vedra Beach falls within unincorporated St. Johns County, which means permitting, plan review and inspections typically run through St. Johns County rather than the City of Jacksonville. Some adjacent communities and developments have their own processes. We’ll determine exactly which jurisdiction applies to your specific property during the planning phase.
Many do. Ponte Vedra includes a number of planned communities and neighborhoods governed by community development districts and homeowners associations that have their own architectural review processes, separate from county permitting. These often cover exterior materials, colors, roof types and landscaping. We’re experienced working within these community-level review processes and will identify and navigate all applicable requirements before design is finalized.
Properties near the Atlantic Ocean or the Intracoastal Waterway in Ponte Vedra are subject to Florida coastal construction standards, including wind load requirements, setback regulations and flood zone compliance. Specific requirements vary significantly by exact location and flood zone designation. We incorporate all of this into the planning process from the beginning.
Yes. We build custom and semi-custom homes in Ponte Vedra for clients who want a home designed and built to their specifications in one of the First Coast’s most desirable communities. We can work with clients who already own a lot or help advise on land suitable for the build they want. Custom construction in Ponte Vedra typically involves both county permitting and, in many cases, community-level architectural review.
We take on significant interior renovations, including kitchen and primary suite transformations, full-floor reconfigurations and whole-home updates. We also work on exterior improvements that require coastal or community review. Ponte Vedra clients typically expect a high standard of finish and project management, and that’s the level of work we bring.
From breaking ground to final walkthrough, most semi-custom home builds take nine to fourteen months, depending on size, complexity and permitting timelines through St. Johns County. Projects requiring community architectural review add time to the front end. Semi-custom builds on established plans typically move faster. We develop a realistic project schedule during pre-construction and communicate proactively throughout.
We work throughout St. Johns County, including the broader Ponte Vedra area and St. Johns community, as well as throughout Jacksonville’s beach communities and established neighborhoods. Our full service area covers Duval, St. Johns, Nassau and Clay counties.
