The Jupiter-based firm, founded in October 2005, has quietly built a reputation as one of the area’s most trusted names in high-end residential construction.

JUPITER, FL — There’s a reason most contractors don’t last twenty years in this business. The work is demanding, the clients expect perfection, and there’s no room for cutting corners—especially in the communities Palmhouse Design & Build calls home.

This October, Palmhouse hits a milestone that few firms in the luxury remodeling space ever reach: twenty years. Since opening its doors in 2005, the company has grown from a small operation into one of Palm Beach County’s go-to names for whole-home renovations, custom kitchens, spa-level bathrooms, and just about every high-end interior project you can think of.

What makes the story worth telling isn’t just the number of years—it’s where and how the work has been done. Palmhouse has earned the trust of homeowners in some of the most exclusive addresses in South Florida. We’re talking about communities like Admirals Cove, The Bear’s Club, Lost Tree Village, Old Palm, and Palm Beach Island itself. These aren’t the kind of neighborhoods where you get a second chance if the tile is off by a quarter inch or the project runs three weeks behind.

“We’ve always believed that trust is built through what you do, not what you say,” said the Palmhouse team. “Our clients come to us because they know we’ll show up, communicate clearly, and deliver exactly what we promised. That’s really the whole formula.”

A Different Kind of Contractor

Palmhouse isn’t the kind of company that takes on every job that comes through the door. They’re selective on purpose. The focus has always been on quality over volume, and that’s a big part of why the reputation has held up for so long.

The team handles everything from full interior overhauls and home additions to detailed finish work like custom cabinetry, flooring, and lighting. They’re known for keeping job sites clean, staying ahead of potential issues, and making sure homeowners feel informed every step of the way.

That level of care has led to something you don’t see all that often in construction: long-term client relationships. Plenty of Palmhouse clients have come back for second and third projects. Referrals make up a significant portion of their business—and if you know anything about luxury homeowners, you know they don’t hand out recommendations lightly.

Rooted in Palm Beach County

Based out of their Jupiter showroom on Maplewood Drive, Palmhouse serves homeowners throughout the county—from Jupiter Island and Singer Island all the way down through Wellington, Delray Beach, Gulf Stream, and Boca Raton. The company is also a women-owned and Latino-owned business, something that sets them apart in an industry that doesn’t always reflect the diversity of the communities it serves.

Their work spans golf course estates, waterfront properties, equestrian communities, and even aviation estates—the kinds of homes where every detail matters and the margin for error is basically zero.

Looking Ahead

As the company approaches its twentieth anniversary this fall, Palmhouse isn’t slowing down. The demand for high-quality renovations across Palm Beach County continues to grow, driven in part by homeowners who are choosing to renovate their current properties rather than start from scratch with a new build. It’s a shift that plays right into what Palmhouse does best.

“We still love what we do,” the team shared. “Every home is different, every client has their own vision, and there’s something really rewarding about taking someone’s ideas and turning them into a space that actually feels like theirs. After almost twenty years, that part hasn’t changed.”
