Service areaNocatee

St. Johns County

Nocatee remodels that respect the house, the HOA, and the humidity.

Nocatee is a master-planned community in St. Johns County. The houses are relatively new; the work is still real. First owners sell. Kitchens get used. Baths get tired. A make-ready is contractor work, not a vendor pile-on.

A Nocatee remodel is often less about saving a 1970s floor plan and more about doing the next layer correctly: a tile shower that is actually waterproofed, flooring that survives wet months, a kitchen that matches how the family cooks, a deck or screened space that gets used. HOA rules can affect exterior work. We would rather know that before demolition than after.

Palmetto Ledger is based in Ponte Vedra, next door. Jim Siebenaler is the owner, a Certified Residential Contractor (#1335031), and on the job.

Permitting still runs through St. Johns County for most of this work. Licensed CRC, written scope, walk-the-home quote. If the house is between occupants, we can discuss make-ready timing as contractor work.

How Nocatee jobs actually go

HOA-aware exterior work

Decks, additions, and anything visible from the street may need association approval on top of the county permit. We flag that in the walkthrough.

New-construction, second finish

Many Nocatee homes are on their first serious interior upgrade. The structure is sound. The finishes are what we change.

Make-ready as contractor work

If the house is going on the market, the make-ready is paint, flooring, fixtures, and punch — contractor work, because we are the contractor.

FAQ

Questions homeowners ask

What work do you take on?

Kitchens, bathrooms, flooring and LVP, tile, additions, decks, and make-readies. A make-ready is paint, flooring, fixtures, and punch items so a house is ready to sell or occupy.

How soon can you start?

It depends on the schedule at the time. Larger jobs can usually start within about 30 days of signing, and smaller jobs often sooner. We'll give you a realistic start date with your quote.

Is there a minimum job size?

Most of our projects start around $1,000. For smaller fixes, our Palmetto Home Care members get handyman time on every visit and no trip minimum.

Do you handle HOA approvals?

Either way. We can prepare and submit the HOA paperwork for you, or you can handle it yourself if you prefer.

How do payments work?

Payments are tied to progress on the job, and the exact schedule is spelled out in your written contract. We accept check, credit card, and cash. We don't offer financing at this time.

Are you licensed?

Yes. Jim Siebenaler, the owner, is a Florida Certified Residential Contractor (CRC #1335031).

Do you pull permits?

When a project requires a permit, we pull it. We go over what the job needs when we walk the home. Requirements vary by job and by city or county.

We're headquartered in Ponte Vedra Beach and remodel homes across Northeast Florida: Ponte Vedra Beach, Nocatee, St. Augustine, St. Johns County, the Jacksonville Beaches, nearby communities, and select Duval. Call or text (904) 295-5222 if you want us to check a street.

Is the owner on the job?

Yes. Jim Siebenaler is the owner, and he works the jobs. He has 30 years as a builder and remodeler. He was a custom home builder in Minnesota before moving to Florida in 2019.
