Most Hobe Sound homeowners working with Groundwork Construction Co. of South Florida receive a detailed, line-item estimate within 48 hours of our initial site visit. We’re at (844) 665-0162 if you’re weighing a project and want real numbers.
We’ve been building and remodeling in Hobe Sound since 2014. That means we’ve navigated Martin County’s permit office enough times to know which plans examers ask for structural calcs upfront and which ones flag window specs for coastal wind loads before you’ve even submitted. We know the difference between building on the mainland side near Bridge Road versus working within sight of the Jupiter Island causeway, where every fastener choice gets scrutinized for salt-air corrosion resistance. One contractor, every phase. That’s how we work here.

Why Hobe Sound Homeowners Choose Groundwork Construction Co. of South Florida
Homeowners in neighborhoods like Zeus Park and the Gomez area call us because they’ve already experienced the alternative: three different subcontractors, four material delays, and a general contractor who disappeared after the deposit cleared. We don’t operate that way. Our crew is the same crew from demolition through final walkthrough, and our project managers live in Martin County, not Broward.
We’ve completed projects on homes dating back to the 1962 ranch boom along Dixie Highway, and we’ve built additions for families who needed space but didn’t want to leave the Hobe Sound National Wildlife Refuge corridor. Our reviews from Hobe Sound clients consistently mention one thing: we show up when we say we will, and we don’t hand off your project to a trade crew we’ve never met.
Our credentials are straightforward. We’re state-licensed, insured and bonded, and we carry general liability and workers’ compensation coverage on every Hobe Sound job. We pull permits directly through Martin County’s Building Department on Monterey Road, not through third-party expediters who’ve never set foot in the office. When you’re building in a county that has legally defended its slow-growth policies against Palm Beach County development pressure, that local familiarity matters.
Construction Services We Offer in Hobe Sound
Kitchen Remodeling
We strip kitchens to studs, reconfigure load-bearing walls where structurally feasible, and rebuild with your choice of KraftMaid or Wellborn cabinetry, Cambria or Silestone countertops, and flooring that can handle Hobe Sound’s humidity swings. You choose the brand, we handle the build. Learn more about our Kitchen Remodeling in Hobe Sound.
Bathroom Remodeling
Our bathroom work spans guest bath refreshes to primary suite expansions with curbless showers and waterproofing assemblies rated for Florida’s wet-season saturation. We specify moisture-resistant backer board and ventilation calculations that account for Hobe Sound’s coastal humidity, not inland standards. Learn more about our Bathroom Remodeling in Hobe Sound.
Roofing
We install GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, IKO, Atlas, Tamko, and Boral roofing systems, matching the manufacturer to your home’s wind-exposure rating and your preference for warranty terms. Homes within a mile of the Atlantic or the Intracoastal get upgraded fastener schedules and salt-air-rated flashings we don’t bother with inland. Learn more about our Roofing in Hobe Sound.
Windows & Doors
Our Windows & Doors - Hobe Sound installations draw from Andersen, Pella, Marvin, Milgard, Jeld-Wen, Simonton, PGT, and CGI product lines, including impact-rated options for Jupiter Island-adjacent properties and architectural-grade units for custom builds. We handle the Florida Product Approval paperwork that Martin County requires for every coastal installation.
Fence Installation
Our Hobe Sound Fence Installation covers privacy fences, aluminum perimeter fencing, and custom gates using materials selected for Hobe Sound’s salt-air environment. That means stainless or polymer-coated hardware on coastal jobs, not standard galvanized fasteners that’ll rust through in three seasons.
Driveway & Pavers
Our Driveway & Pavers in Hobe Sound work uses Belgard, Unilock, Tremron, and Techo-Bloc pavers for driveways, patios, and walkways, installed on proper base prep that accounts for Hobe Sound’s sandy soils and seasonal saturation. From driveway to roofline, we treat exterior work with the same material rigor as interior finishes.
Home Additions & ADUs
We build our Home Additions & ADU in Hobe Sound with stick-frame construction and partner with prefab innovators including Abodu, Dvele, Mighty Buildings, Boxabl, and Plant Prefab for faster-track expansion options. Expand what’s possible, whether you’re adding a bedroom suite or a full detached ADU on a Hobe Sound lot with the setbacks to accommodate it.
Neighborhoods We Serve in Hobe Sound
We work across the full 33455 ZIP and into 33475, with response times typically under 45 minutes for initial consultations throughout the mainland area. Barrier island and Jupiter Island-adjacent properties may require coordinated access, but we’re on-site within a day of scheduling.

Why Hobe Sound’s Climate & Housing Affect Construction
Hobe Sound’s housing stock tells two stories. On the mainland side along Bridge Road and Dixie Highway, you’ll find solid 1960s-1980s ranch construction: concrete block, terrazzo floors, low-pitch roofs. These homes were built before modern hurricane strapping requirements, which means any permitted remodel involving roof removal triggers a full tie-down upgrade to current Florida Building Code. We’ve done enough of these to know exactly what Martin County’s inspectors look for at the rough framing stage, and we spec the Simpson Strong-Tie or USP connectors that satisfy their checklists without padding the budget.
The barrier island corridor is a different project type entirely. Homes here face direct Atlantic exposure and must meet strict wind-load requirements that exceed mainland standards. Salt-air corrosion accelerates fastener, flashing, and metal connector failures on anything within a mile of the water, so we specify 316 stainless or polymer-coated hardware on coastal jobs, not the standard galvanized stuff that works fine in Tequesta or Palm Beach Gardens.
Then there’s the regulatory layer that truly distinguishes Hobe Sound. Martin County’s Development Review Committee enforces environmental buffer rules tied to gopher tortoise habitat and wildlife refuge adjacency that contractors from Broward or Palm Beach often don’t discover until a stop-work order arrives. We’ve learned to identify refuge boundary proximity before breaking ground on any north-end property, and we coordinate with Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission protocols when required. Built to spec, not to convenience. That phrase means something specific here.

FAQs About Construction in Hobe Sound
Most full kitchen remodels in Hobe Sound fall between $48,000 and $125,000 depending on cabinetry brand, countertop material, and whether structural walls need modification. Homes in older neighborhoods like Gomez often require electrical service upgrades that add $3,000-$6,000 to the base scope. Call (844) 665-0162 for an exact quote - estimates are free.
Yes. Martin County’s Development Review Committee enforces environmental buffer rules that can trigger Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission review for ground-disturbing work near refuge boundaries, particularly in north Hobe Sound. We identify this requirement during pre-construction planning, not after a stop-work order. Contractors unfamiliar with Martin County’s slow-growth policies often get caught off guard.
Absolutely. That’s our core difference from trade-specific contractors. We routinely coordinate interior remodels with roofing, window, and exterior envelope work so you’re not juggling separate crews and conflicting schedules. One contractor, every phase - and one warranty contact if anything needs attention after completion.
Not all, but most properties east of Dixie Highway and anything in the Jupiter Island corridor fall within High-Velocity Hurricane Zones that mandate impact-rated or protected openings under the Florida Building Code. We specify from PGT, CGI, Andersen, and other approved lines, and we handle the Florida Product Approval documentation that Martin County requires.
Prefab ADU options through our partners like Abodu and Dvele typically run $185,000-$290,000 turnkey in Hobe Sound, while stick-built additions average $220-$340 per square foot depending on foundation requirements and Martin County’s flood-zone elevation mandates. Many Hobe Sound lots in AE and VE zones require elevated foundations that affect both paths. We model both options during early planning so you choose based on real numbers, not assumptions.
