Construction in Jupiter means working around two very different sets of rules depending on which side of the Loxahatchee River you live on. Coastal homes in 33469 answer to FEMA flood zones, FDEP permits, and 150 mph wind-load codes. Five miles west in Jupiter Farms, the same contractor is pouring a slab for a pole barn next to a horse paddock. We plan for both, and we answer the phone when you call: (877) 610-1318.

Why Jupiter Homeowners Choose Barrett & Sons Construction
Tom Barrett started this company in 1998 and never turned it into a franchise. His sons run the crews here in Jupiter, and Tom still answers his own phone. That matters when you’re a homeowner in Abacoa trying to figure out why your addition needs two separate permit reviews, or someone in Jupiter Farms who wants a contractor who actually knows what agricultural zoning means for a detached garage.
We’ve built across Jupiter’s distinct housing stock: the 1960s and 70s CBS block homes near the inlet in 33469, the New Urbanist Abacoa homes built mostly between 1999 and the 2010s, and the larger waterfront builds along the Intracoastal where salt air eats standard fasteners in a few seasons. Each of those requires a different approach to footings, openings, and materials. We’ve done all three.
Every job we take in Jupiter carries the same written promises: permits pulled and inspections signed on every eligible project, every price change issued as a written change order before work proceeds, and the 90-Day Done Right Promise on the contract. If it’s not done right, Tom comes back. One call.
Construction Services We Offer in Jupiter
Kitchen Remodeling
We install KraftMaid cabinetry and Cambria quartz in Jupiter kitchens, and we coordinate the structural work, electrical, and plumbing that a real remodel requires. Most of our Jupiter kitchen projects run six to ten weeks depending on scope and permitting.
Learn more about our Kitchen Remodeling in Jupiter.
Bathroom Remodeling
Jupiter bathrooms in older CBS homes often hide outdated supply lines and undersized exhaust fans behind tile. We handle full gut-and-rebuild work, from waterproofing to final trim, with a written scope before we open a single wall.
Learn more about our Bathroom Remodeling in Jupiter.
Roofing
Coastal wind loads in Jupiter’s 33469 and 33477 ZIPs push beyond what standard inland roof assemblies are tested for. We install GAF and CertainTeed systems with the right uplift fastening schedule and corrosion-resistant hardware for salt air. High-tension roof and framing work is dangerous; this is a job for a trained crew, not a weekend ladder project.
Learn more about our Roofing in Jupiter.
Windows & Doors
Impact-rated openings are not optional on most Jupiter properties east of US-1, and salt air dictates specific frame and hardware choices. We install Andersen, Marvin, Simonton, and PGT products selected for the exposure your specific house faces.
Fence Installation
Jupiter Farms properties often need fencing that handles both horses and hurricanes. We build wood, vinyl, and aluminum fence lines that meet local setback rules and wind exposure requirements.
Driveway & Pavers
Belgard and Techo-Bloc pavers handle Jupiter’s rainy seasons and high water table better than poured slabs in many lots, especially near the Loxahatchee floodplain. We handle grading, base prep, and drainage correctly from the start.
Home Additions & ADU
Adding square footage in Jupiter means answering the same question early: are you in a FEMA AE zone, and does the Coastal Construction Control Line apply? We pull Palm Beach County permits and FDEP permits when required, and we never let a client find out about a second agency at inspection time.
Neighborhoods We Serve in Jupiter
We work across Jupiter regularly, from the inlet corridor to the Farms. You’ll see our crews in:
- Abacoa, including the 33458 town center area
- Jupiter Farms, covering 33478 and the rural large-lot parcels
- Tequesta-adjacent neighborhoods in 33469 near the inlet
- Pennock Point and River West along the Loxahatchee
- The 33477 beach and Intracoastal corridor
Typical response for a Jupiter estimate request is within one business day.
Why Jupiter’s Climate & Housing Affect Construction
Jupiter’s coastal position creates a specific set of construction rules that don’t apply a few miles inland. Florida Building Code wind loads on many parcels here are enforced at design speeds exceeding 150 mph, which changes how roofs get strapped, how windows get anchored, and what fasteners we can use. Salt air off the Atlantic and the Jupiter Inlet accelerates corrosion on lintels, structural connectors, and any standard galvanized hardware. We use stainless or hot-dipped galvanized hardware on water-adjacent projects because the alternative is a callback in three years if you’re lucky.
You can just say “always” or “especially from” rather than specifying the source of the salt air.
The Loxahatchee River floodplain also creates high seasonal water tables across a wide inland band. Slab prep near River West or Pennock Point can require different compaction and drainage strategies than what passes inspection in Palm Beach Gardens. Contractors who only work the inland market misjudge this constantly. We’ve been through enough Jupiter builds to plan for it from the first site visit.
Pricing for Construction in Jupiter

- Bathroom remodel: $18,000 - $45,000
- Kitchen remodel: $35,000 - $90,000

FAQs About Construction in Jupiter
A kitchen remodel in Jupiter typically runs $35,000 to $90,000 depending on cabinetry, countertops, and whether you’re moving walls or relocating plumbing. Abacoa townhomes trend toward the lower end; Intracoastal homes with custom cabinetry trend higher. Call (877) 610-1318 for a written estimate based on your specific kitchen.
If your property sits seaward of the Florida DEP’s Coastal Construction Control Line and you’re doing structural work, you likely need an FDEP permit in addition to Palm Beach County’s building permit. This applies to many 33469 inlet properties and some 33477 beach lots. We pull both permits for you so the timeline doesn’t surprise you midway through the job.
Only if the scope changes, and only in writing. If you want a different tile than the allowance we set, you’ll see the new number on a written change order before we order the tile. No change order, no price change. That rule is on every contract we write.
Most Jupiter additions run four to eight months from permit application to final inspection. Coastal properties with FDEP review add time to the front end. Jupiter Farms additions requiring agricultural zoning review can add a few weeks as well. We give you a written schedule with the estimate and update it in writing as the job moves.
Check the license number, ask whether they have worked on your side of the Loxahatchee, and require written change orders. Then call (877) 610-1318 and ask for Tom. He’ll tell you straight what your project needs and what it costs.

What Jupiter Customers Say
"Addition over the garage matched the original roofline and brickwork so closely that visitors do not realise it was added. He tracked down the closest brick he could find rather than settling."
- Gideon Stroud"The bathroom was finished on the day he said at the start, which nobody had led me to believe was possible."
- Loretta Vanterpool"His sons run the crews and they were in our house for four months. Not once did I feel I had to be home to keep an eye on things."
