Remodeling & Construction in Ponte Vedra, FL
Where the finish standard is high and so is the expectation of being kept informed.
Higher finish levels, and the communication to match
Ponte Vedra projects tend to be larger in scope and higher in finish level than the average job on our schedule, which raises the stakes on two things at once: the craftsmanship and the communication. We built the company around both.
Our business partner runs the job sites so Cesar Perdomo manages customers exclusively. On a long, high-value project that is the difference between knowing where things stand and chasing someone who is on a ladder three jobs away.
We work in St. Johns County as a Certified Building Contractor under Florida licence CBC1269967, pulling and managing the permits ourselves.
What a Ponte Vedra project usually asks for
Ponte Vedra is a coastal community in northern St. Johns County and one of the higher-value residential markets in Northeast Florida. Two things follow from that, and they are what make working here different. Scope and finish level run higher than anywhere else we build, which raises the stakes on craftsmanship and on being reachable while the work is happening. And the Atlantic is close enough to matter: salt air is genuinely harder on exterior paint, decking, hardware, and fasteners than it is a few miles inland, so material selection for anything outdoors should account for it from the start rather than be discovered at the first repaint.
None of that changes how we price or schedule. The written proposal still arrives within 48 hours of the consultation, and the payment terms are still 50% at scheduling and 50% on completion.
What we build most in Ponte Vedra
Larger-scope work, plus the outdoor living space that gets used most of the year here — and takes the most punishment.
The finish is mostly what is underneath it
A high-end result is far less about the material than about the preparation. Flat substrate, correct layout, proper waterproofing, patient tile setting, and clean trim lines are what separate expensive-looking from expensive.
Those are the stages nobody sees once the job is done, and they are exactly the ones a contractor working to a thin margin shortens. We price them in and we do them.
Building near the coast
Coastal exposure is real and it is expensive to ignore. Salt air and sun are harder on exterior paint, decking, and hardware here than they are inland, and a material that performs perfectly well a few miles west can look tired far sooner.
We will talk that trade-off through with you honestly — what costs more up front and what it buys you in years — rather than quoting the cheapest specification and letting you find out later.

Ponte Vedra project questions
The five questions homeowners ask us before hiring anyone, plus two about building in St. Johns County.
It depends on the size and scope of the work, so we price every project individually after seeing it in person. As a concrete reference point, a small bathroom of roughly 7x5 typically runs $10,000 to $14,000, and a master bathroom typically runs $17,000 to $35,000, with materials included in both. Your written proposal arrives within 48 hours of the on-site consultation and lays out the full scope and price, so you are never comparing guesses. Estimates and consultations are free.
We provide them. Through our partnership with Floor & Decor you work directly with an in-store designer to choose colours, tile, and finishes, and your selections go onto a form under our account. From there we purchase, pick up, and deliver everything to the job site. You get to make the fun decisions without managing orders, deliveries, or returns.
Yes. GIL pulls and handles all permits for your project — that is part of what you are hiring a licensed contractor to do, and it is included. Our licensed plumbing and electrical subcontractors pull their own trade permits under our master permit. You do not need to contact the building department or schedule an inspection yourself.
We give you a schedule in the written proposal and we finish on or ahead of it. A small bathroom is usually about 7 days including permitting; a master bathroom is typically 2 to 3 weeks. Larger work such as an addition or new construction runs longer and is scheduled specifically for your project. We complete 30 to 40 projects a year, so our timelines come from experience rather than optimism.
Cesar Perdomo, and he manages customers exclusively. This is the structural difference at GIL: our business partner runs the job sites, so Cesar is never pulled onto a roof or under a house when you call. At most contracting companies one person does both jobs, which is exactly why homeowners cannot reach their contractor mid-project. Someone here is always reachable by phone — no run-arounds and no no-shows.
Yes. GIL Renovation Services pulls and manages every permit your Ponte Vedra project needs, including the submission, any corrections that come back, and the scheduling of each inspection in St. Johns County. Our licensed plumbing and electrical subcontractors pull their own trade permits under our master permit. You never need to contact the building department or book an inspection yourself. Requirements and review times differ between jurisdictions and change over time, so we confirm exactly what your specific project needs before work begins rather than working from an assumption.
Ponte Vedra sits in St. Johns County, and we build across Duval, Clay, St. Johns, and Nassau counties — Jacksonville, Orange Park, Green Cove Springs, Fleming Island, Mandarin, St. Augustine, Ponte Vedra, Nocatee, St. Johns, and Fernandina Beach. Being based in Orange Park, FL keeps all of that inside a comfortable drive, with Jacksonville our largest market. If you are just outside that footprint, call and ask: we would rather tell you honestly whether we are the right company for your job than take on work we cannot schedule properly.
