If you feel like your home is falling down around your ears, or you need more space, or you want a kitchen that actually works for you, home renovations might be the answer. In Florida’s First Coast, many homes are more than 50 years old, which means it’s likely time for some pretty comprehensive home remodeling.
At Designer Lifestyles LLC , we design and install stylish home renovations that integrate with existing coastal living, but all while giving you the upgrades you need. Better layouts, durable, salt-resistant finishes, and more comfortable lounge spaces are just a few of the things you might need.
From Jacksonville and Ponte Vedra to St. Augustine and Fernandina Beach, our design-build team handles everything in one streamlined process.

Transforming Homes With Expert Craftsmanship
At Designer Lifestyles LLC , our First Coast team keeps you in the loop with a clear process from first sketch to final walk-through.
- First Coast specialists: Coastal climates come with high humidity, salt, and, in Florida, hurricane codes. At Designer Lifestyles LLC , we’re local, so we always build with moisture-resistant materials, coastal-grade hardware, and ventilation strategies that keep your indoor humidity levels close to ideal.
- Transparent pricing: We lay out the entire scope of the project up front. You’ll also get line-item budgets and periodic reviews at major milestones. The extra documentation keeps us all on the same page and makes sure there are no surprises on your final bill.
- Craftsmanship you can feel: Tight reveals, plumb walls, thoughtfully integrated lighting. Our finish standards elevate everyday living with craftsmanship that turns even simple updates into art.
Our Comprehensive Renovation Service Process
Great outcomes don’t happen by accident. They’re the product of a disciplined process with room for creativity.
- Initial consultation & visioning: We start with an in-home or virtual meeting to understand your goals, timeline, and budget. Bring your wish list and pain points. We’ll figure out together what items get done now and what might need to wait for the next round.
- Design & material selection: Our designers craft layout options based on the initial consultation. We guide you through design decisions like light fixtures, flooring materials, and cabinetry. Renderings and mood boards may help you visualize the finished space. At this stage, we also refine the budget and align on product lead times.
- Permit scheduling coordination: We coordinate engineering (as needed), submit permit packages, and manage reviews with local jurisdictions. While permits are waiting for approval, we order materials that might have long lead times and build a realistic schedule that includes some wiggle room to accommodate coastal weather conditions.
- Construction onsite management: During the phase, structural modifications happen first, followed by rough plumbing, electrical, and HVAC updates; then we proceed to insulation, drywall, millwork, tile, cabinets, and finishes.
- Final walk-through client approval: We review every room together, make sure everything is working, and handle any touch-ups needed. We’ll turn over any care guides or warranty documents for your newly purchased appliances and materials.
