Northeast Florida
Residential Remodeling & Construction in Duval County & Jacksonville, FL
Integrity Construction Co. is a residential remodeler and builder serving Duval County, FL — including San Marco, Mandarin, the beach communities, and Intracoastal West — with fixed-price kitchen, bath, whole-home, and new construction projects.
Duval County's residential landscape is far more varied than St. Johns County's — and that variety creates a wide range of renovation opportunities. San Marco and Avondale hold some of Jacksonville's most architecturally significant older homes: Mediterranean Revival, Colonial Revival, bungalows, and mid-century structures that require careful renovation and deserve it. Mandarin's established neighborhoods feature larger lots, mature tree canopies, and 1980s-and-1990s homes ready for meaningful updates. The beach communities — Jacksonville Beach, Neptune Beach, Atlantic Beach — bring coastal building code considerations. And Intracoastal West communities like Tamaya and Queens Harbour offer newer construction with HOA oversight. Integrity Construction Co. works across all of it.
We're based in Nocatee and bring the same team — the same owners, the same specialist subs — to Duval County projects. An owner on every active jobsite, every day, regardless of which side of the county line you're on. Fixed pricing, materials confirmed before demo, specialist single-craft trade crews. Those aren't St. Johns County promises. They're our promises, everywhere we work.
City of Jacksonville Building Inspection Division handles permits across most of Duval County — a different process than St. Johns County's, with its own portal and inspection scheduling system. We navigate both and we'll tell you exactly which jurisdiction applies to your property. Call (904) 692-8453.
San Marco & Avondale: Older Homes, Thoughtful Renovation
San Marco and Avondale are among Jacksonville's most coveted neighborhoods for homebuyers who want architectural character, walkability, and proximity to the St. Johns River. The homes here — built mostly between the 1920s and the 1960s — are genuinely beautiful, and they present a renovation challenge that's different from anything you'll find in a master-planned community.
Older construction means original plumbing (often cast iron that needs assessment), electrical systems that predate modern load requirements, plaster walls rather than drywall, and floor layouts designed for a way of living that has changed substantially. These aren't insurmountable challenges — they're the reality of working with older homes, and they require a contractor who will flag them honestly rather than discover them as "unforeseen conditions" after you've committed to a budget. We scope older-home projects conservatively, note known unknowns in writing, and stand behind our pricing discipline even when what's behind the wall is a surprise.
For properties in San Marco's historic overlay or Avondale's designated areas, exterior changes may require additional review. We assess the applicable overlay requirements for every project in these neighborhoods before we propose exterior scope.
Mandarin: Large Lots, Established Homes, Real Upgrade Opportunity
Mandarin's residential neighborhoods — many developed in the 1970s through 1990s — sit on larger lots than most of what's been built in Northeast Florida since. The homes are solid, often brick or CBS construction, with mature landscaping and generous footprints. What they carry from that era is the design language of the time: galley kitchens, separate formal dining rooms, primary baths with dated tile and fixtures, and floor plans that compartmentalize what today's homeowners want to connect.
Whole-home remodels in homes like these can be some of the most satisfying work, because the structural investment is already there — the lot, the bones, the location. What the home needs is a modern interior. Opening a kitchen to a family room, transforming a primary bath, updating flooring throughout, and adding a custom built-in or two can fundamentally change how a well-located Mandarin home feels to live in.
The Beach Communities: Coastal Code & Premium Renovation
Atlantic Beach, Neptune Beach, and Jacksonville Beach bring the same coastal building code requirements as Ponte Vedra Beach: wind-borne debris region standards, impact-rated opening requirements, flood zone considerations, and the salt-air material durability issue that affects everything from hardware to siding. We apply the same coastal specification discipline here that we bring to the St. Johns County coast.
The housing stock in the beach communities is highly varied — small post-war cottages, 1970s concrete block, substantial oceanfront custom homes, and newer infill construction. Projects range from modest bathroom updates to full tear-and-replace scenarios. Whatever the scope, the fixed-price promise holds, and the daily owner presence holds.
Intracoastal West: Newer Communities, HOA Process
Tamaya, Queens Harbour, and the other Intracoastal West communities bring newer construction with HOA oversight into Duval County's northeastern quadrant. These are well-positioned neighborhoods with homes built in the 2000s through 2020s, and the renovation dynamic is similar to what we see in St. Johns County's master-planned communities: builder-grade finishes ready for upgrade, HOA architectural review required for exterior work, and a homeowner population that has both the means and the desire to personalize their space.
We manage the HOA architectural review submission process in Duval County communities exactly as we do in St. Johns County: full package preparation, follow-up through approval, construction scheduled only after confirmation is in hand.
City of Jacksonville Permitting
Most residential construction in Duval County falls under the jurisdiction of the City of Jacksonville's Building Inspection Division. This is a distinct permitting authority from St. Johns County — different portal, different fee structure, different inspection scheduling process. Projects within Beach communities (Atlantic Beach, Neptune Beach, Jacksonville Beach) use their own municipal building departments. We determine the correct permitting authority for every project, apply correctly, and close out every permit before final payment.
We're licensed to operate across both Duval and St. Johns counties under Florida Certified Residential Contractor license CRC1334844. The same license, the same standards, the same team.

Questions
Remodeling in Duval County / Jacksonville — common questions
Do you serve Jacksonville and Duval County, or only St. Johns County?
Both. We're based in Nocatee but work throughout Duval County — San Marco, Avondale, Mandarin, the beach communities, and Intracoastal West neighborhoods. Same team, same owners, same standards.
Which building department handles permits for my Jacksonville home?
Most Duval County residential projects go through the City of Jacksonville Building Inspection Division. Beach communities (Atlantic Beach, Neptune Beach, Jacksonville Beach) have their own municipal building departments. We determine the correct authority for your address and manage the entire permit process.
I have a 1950s home in San Marco. Can you renovate it without destroying its character?
Yes — and that's the right instinct. San Marco homes have architectural details worth preserving: original millwork profiles, hardwood floors, plaster ceiling details. We approach older-home renovation with that in mind. We'll also be honest with you about what the older infrastructure means for scope and budget before you commit.
Do you do new construction in Jacksonville, or only remodeling?
Both. Felix holds a Florida Certified Residential Contractor license (CRC1334844), which qualifies us to serve as GC for new residential construction anywhere in Florida, including Duval County. We handle the full scope — from permitting through final walkthrough.
