“The outdoor kitchen and lanai addition exceeded our wildest expectations.”
From established homes near the old city to newer St. Johns County neighborhoods, Graceson Construction plans whole-home and kitchen remodeling, additions, painting and siding around the existing property.

Renovating in the St. Augustine area might involve a historic home with existing systems to investigate, a coastal house needing resilient finishes or a newer property ready for a more open floor plan. The plan should respond to the actual home. Homes in and around St. Augustine vary from older historic buildings to coastal residences and newer subdivisions. They can fall under different municipal or county jurisdictions, so the property address determines the appropriate review and permitting path.
