Working With Your HOA
Before you start a remodel or addition in Nocatee, your HOA may need to approve the plans, especially for exterior changes. Deane can help you put together what the HOA needs and plan the work around their rules.
Berith Builders remodels kitchens and bathrooms and builds additions for homeowners in Nocatee. Owner Deane Wolfe is based in nearby St. Johns and runs every project himself, from the first visit to the final walkthrough.
Nocatee homeowners often want changes that make a home fit them better: a bigger kitchen island, a better primary bath, upgraded finishes or more space for a growing family.
Owners here tend to care about finishes and fit. Deane has 30 years in construction and has done much of the trade work himself, so he knows what a good tile job, cabinet install or trim detail should look like, and he checks the subcontractors' work against that.
If your neighborhood has an HOA, Deane will help you plan around its rules and pull the needed permits.


Popular upgrades in newer homes include larger islands, waterfall quartz counters, custom backsplashes and better lighting. Deane uses solid-wood cabinets and can help you source materials at the best price.

First-floor additions and bump-outs can add a bedroom, office or larger living area, as long as your lot and HOA rules allow. Deane will look at setbacks and HOA rules before any plans are drawn.

Where lots are tight, building up can be the best way to add space. A second story will need engineering, permits and HOA review, and Deane works with architects and engineers to put the plans together.

More garage space for cars and storage, or a garage with a finished room above it. Deane plans the roofline and exterior so the new garage matches your home and meets HOA rules.
