Home remodeling in St. Augustine

St. Augustine spans four centuries of building. A renovation in a 1920s bungalow near the historic district and one in a new Nocatee-adjacent build are different projects with different rules, and treating them the same is how people get into trouble.

What building in
St. Augustine actually involves

Every jurisdiction along this coast has its own rules and its own construction realities. These are the ones that shape a St. Augustine project.

01

Historic district review

Work in the designated historic districts goes through architectural review with real constraints on materials, window profiles, and exterior alterations. We design within those rules instead of fighting them.

02

St. Johns County permitting

Different jurisdiction, different submittal requirements and inspection scheduling than Flagler. We hold the license and manage the process in both counties.

03

Older construction realities

Pre-1978 homes bring lead-safe work practice requirements; pre-war homes bring balloon framing, knob-and-tube remnants, and floor systems that are not level anywhere. Budget honestly for it or the schedule slips.

04

Additions on constrained lots

Downtown-adjacent lots are small, with tight setbacks and mature trees. Getting a usable addition out of them is a zoning exercise first and a design exercise second.
