What Luxury Home Remodeling Looks Like Here
Luxury work in this market has a different shape than a standard remodel.
Scope. Whole-home renovations, kitchen rebuilds, primary-bath rebuilds, lanai and outdoor-living renovations, exterior work. Projects in the luxury communities here are rarely single-room. They are usually multi-room or whole-home, often phased over a year or longer for occupied homes.
Process. Four phases: design, permit, build, close-out. We coordinate City of Palm Beach Gardens permitting in-house alongside HOA architectural review, which most luxury communities here require for exterior changes and many interior modifications affecting common elements. Long-lead items are ordered early. Permit-office continuity is planned around hurricane season.
In-house team. Design and build under one roof. The same project manager from kick-off through final walkthrough. Single point of contact for the duration. License CGC1537109. 20+ years of South Florida work.
Communities We Serve
We renovate single-family homes throughout the city south of Donald Ross Road. Each of the major communities has its own page with detail.
- PGA National. Established golf community spanning the late 1970s through the early 2000s. The HOA review process is two-layered: the PGA National Property Owners Association reviews community-wide exterior changes, and some sub-communities (Marlwood, Eagleton, others) layer additional review on top. Common project scope at this point in the community’s life: kitchen and primary-bath modernization, layout reconfiguration, outdoor-living renovations, and system-replacement work as 30+ year homes reach their first major refresh.
- BallenIsles. Gated country-club community of approximately 1,600 homes across 32 sub-neighborhoods. Mediterranean architectural vocabulary runs consistently. HOA review distinguishes between exterior changes (always reviewed) and interior renovations that do not modify the building envelope (often not reviewed). Common scope: estate-tier whole-home renovations, finish-tier upgrades that respect the community’s architectural consistency.
- Old Palm Golf Club. Smaller, ultra-high-net-worth community of approximately 300 custom-built homes across 650 acres. Four neighborhoods: Golf Estates, Grand Estates, Isle Estates, Custom Estates. The defining feature is that these homes were custom-built from the start. Renovation here means respecting custom millwork, detail, and architecture. Repair-first is often the right answer.
- Mirasol. Newer construction overall, with the bulk of the community built between 2001 and 2013. Approximately 1,164 single-family homes across 23 sub-neighborhoods and 2,300 acres. Mediterranean-inspired architecture. The community is now in its first major refresh window: HVAC replacements at the 15-20 year mark, kitchen and bath updates, outdoor-living additions that fit the lifestyle.
- The PGA Boulevard corridor. The main artery of the city. Homes along the corridor cover a wider range of construction eras and housing types than any single community. We work on the corridor’s older non-gated single-family stock, newer gated-community homes, and the townhome and condo developments along it.

Five Questions Every Homeowner Should Ask
Most luxury contractor pages list capabilities. This page lists the questions you should be asking every contractor you consider, with our answers built in.
- Will you provide unconditional lien releases from every subcontractor before each draw? Florida Chapter 713 (the Construction Lien Law) lets subcontractors and material suppliers lien the homeowner’s property if the contractor does not pay them. Even after the homeowner has paid the contractor. Documented Florida cases include homeowners facing five- and six-figure liens after their contractor disappeared. Our answer: yes, with every draw.
- Is your bid a fixed scope and fixed price, or cost-plus? Recent Florida construction-law cases involve mid-project demands for additional money the contractor “didn’t anticipate.” Our answer: fixed scope, fixed price. Change orders only on written homeowner approval of a scope change.
- What is your hurricane-season-mid-project protocol? Most luxury renovations cross at least one hurricane season. Avoiding June through November is not realistic. Our answer: pre-storm site protocol is documented in our contract, with hurricane-event insurance riders on active jobsites.
- Can I see your active Florida General Contractor license number? Our answer: License CGC1537109. We list it on every contract, every permit, every page of the website.
- Who is my single point of contact for the duration of the project? Our answer: one project manager from kick-off through final walkthrough, with backup coverage for vacation. No handoffs.
Design-Build Under One Roof
Many local contractors say “design-build.” Most of them mean “we work with a designer we like.” Real design-build means the same firm holds both the design contract and the construction contract. One project manager from initial design through final walkthrough. Design decisions are made with construction reality (cost, schedule, permitting path) in the room. No designer-vision-versus-builder-reality handoff problem.
What this means in practice: the cabinet shop drawings the designer produced go directly to our build team for installation. The structural change the contractor needs to flag gets routed back to the designer the same day, not after a week of phone tag. The selection the homeowner approved in design is the selection that arrives on site. One schedule. One budget. One accountable team.
Palmhouse is structured as a design-build firm. Rosie Barrig leads residential space planning. Jonathan Barrig and Gabriel Barrig are Certified General Contractors on the team. The design and construction conversations happen in the same office on the same day.
