Luxury Home Remodeling Palm Beach
Palm Beach is not like other markets.
The homes here are exceptional by almost any standard. Historic estates, oceanfront properties, architecturally significant residences that have been maintained and improved for generations. When one of these homes is renovated, the team doing the work has to understand what they are working with.
Palmhouse Design & Build is a women-owned and Latino-owned design-build firm providing luxury residential renovation services and founded by Oscar and Rosie Barrig. Between them, our co-founders bring over 60 years of contracting, construction, and residential space planning expertise. Our on-site project team includes two Certified General Contractors licensed in Florida and an OSHA-certified project manager with over 20 years of reconstruction experience. We have been working at this level since 2004.
What Does Luxury Remodeling Mean in Palm Beach?
It means the standard of finish is non-negotiable.
It means the contractor understands how to work in historically sensitive or architecturally distinctive homes without compromising what makes them special.
It means the project is managed with the kind of discretion, precision, and communication that clients in this market expect and deserve.
And it means the result matches the vision — not a close approximation of it.

Discretion, Precision, and a Reputation Built Over Two Decades
The clients we work with on Palm Beach Island have typically worked with contractors before. They know the difference between a team that promises and a team that delivers.
We do not overpromise. We provide realistic timelines, transparent costs, and honest recommendations. If a scope element is not right for the property, we will tell you — because the long-term relationship matters more than the short-term transaction.
Our reputation was built over two decades inside communities where only one standard is acceptable — Admirals Cove, The Bear’s Club, Lost Tree Village, Old Palm Golf Club, Jupiter Island, and Palm Beach Island itself.
