FAQs

At Elite Construction of Jax, we know that starting a construction or renovation project comes with a lot of questions. We’ve answered some of the most common inquiries about our process, services, and what to expect when working with our team in Jacksonville, St. Johns County, and surrounding areas.

  • A: We primarily work in Saint Augustine, Ponte Vedra Beach, Nocatee, World Golf Village, Mandarin, and some other parts of Jacksonville. Contact us if you’re unsure! We may still be able to help.

  • A: A general contractor is responsible for managing your entire construction or renovation project from start to finish. That’s exactly what we do at Elite Construction. When you hire us, you're not just bringing in a construction crew. You're hiring a full-service team that takes care of planning, scheduling, hiring, and overseeing every phase of the job. You won’t have to search for or coordinate with different contractors for each step. Our in-house professionals include skilled woodworkers, interior finish specialists, and an interior designer who can help guide your material and design selections. We simplify the process, reduce stress, and handle all the moving parts so you can focus on enjoying the finished result.

  • A: Our estimates are fully line-itemized to give you the clearest possible breakdown of your project. This transparency helps you see exactly what each part of the job includes. We also provide allowances to account for variations in material costs based on the selections you make, such as finishes, fixtures, or custom features. If you decide to make changes, whether it's adding something new or removing an item, we’ll work with you to update the estimate accordingly. Our goal is to keep everything clear, flexible, and tailored to your vision.

  • A: Project timelines vary based on the materials selected, the complexity of the design, and whether the work involves structural changes or is purely cosmetic. Here's a general breakdown of what to expect for different types of projects. Please note, these timelines are based on when we begin demolition. This does not include any potential wait time for materials to arrive.

    Kitchen Remodels

    • Cosmetic updates without layout changes (for example countertop and cabinet upgrades) typically can be completed within 4-6 weeks.

    • Full-scale remodels with layout modifications typically take 10–12 weeks.

    Bathroom Remodels

    • Cosmetic updates without layout changes typically fall within the 4-6 week range.

    • Full-scale remodels with layout changes generally take 6-8 weeks.

    Staircases

    • Generally around 2 weeks to complete once we receive the materials.

    Custom Built-Ins

    • Timelines depend on the specific design and level of customization. We’ll provide a more accurate estimate after the design is finalized.

    New Construction

    • After engineering, plans, and permits are complete, construction generally takes 8–9 months. From start to finish, the process typically takes around 12 months.

  • A: Absolutely. Our experienced team has lived and worked through many hurricanes here in Florida, so we understand the kind of damage severe weather can cause. We build with that in mind, using proven construction techniques, high-quality materials, and code-compliant methods designed to improve your home’s resilience. From impact-rated windows to proper elevation, roofing, and drainage, we know how to build smarter and stronger to help protect your home against hurricanes and flooding.

  • A: Yes, we work directly with you to ensure your project meets all community guidelines and obtains the necessary approvals before work begins. We understand the importance of following HOA rules and will guide you through the process to help make sure everything goes smoothly and on schedule.

  • A: Getting started is simple. We begin with a free consultation where we listen to your ideas and vision for the project. From there, we create a detailed estimate tailored to your goals. Once the estimate is approved, we guide you through material selections, finalize design details, and set a clear project timeline. As soon as everything is in place, our team gets to work bringing your plans to life.
