Berith Builders is a remodeling company owned and run by Deane Wolfe. Deane has spent 30 years building and renovating homes. He now lives in St. Johns and remodels kitchens, bathrooms and whole homes and builds additions across Northeast Florida.
Deane has worked in construction for 30 years. He has been a home builder, a home renovator and a commercial build-out contractor. Over that time he has built about 60 homes.
He learned the trades by doing them. Much of the work on his projects has been done with his own hands, so he is not someone who got a license and now only manages. He knows framing, finish work and the mechanical trades, and he knows what good work looks like at every stage.
Before moving to Florida, Deane worked in Maryland, where he built his reputation through referrals and never needed to advertise. One job he still talks about was a second-story addition where the roof came off and the new second floor was framed and covered in one day, while the homeowner was at work. Another was a large home in Maryland where he turned a set of mahogany bookcases into hidden doors that opened into a new period-style primary bath with octagon tile and a freestanding tub.
Deane has since moved to St. Johns, Florida, and set up Berith Builders LLC here. His son still runs the Maryland business, which is a separate company.

Deane Wolfe, Owner
Deane's faith is a big part of his life, and it shapes how he runs his business. Sincerity and character come first. That means telling you the truth about your project, even when it is not what you hoped to hear.
It also means helping you spend your money well. Deane looks at a project as both a builder and someone who knows real estate. He will tell you which changes are likely to add value to your home and which ones may not. If an upgrade would push your home too far past others in the neighborhood, he will say so.
Many of Deane's clients have become friends by the end of their project. He wants the process to be one you enjoy, not one you just get through.
Berith Builders is an owner-operated company. Deane works with trusted subcontractors for the trades, such as plumbing, electrical and tile, and he is on site overseeing the work.
He is building his network of Florida trades carefully, holding them to the same standards he has kept for 30 years. Because he understands each trade himself, he knows what to check and when to ask for something to be redone.
When you hire Berith Builders, you work with Deane the whole way. He answers the phone, visits your home, writes your estimate, pulls the permits and meets the inspectors. He sends you a schedule and keeps in touch every day by text, email or phone.
Deane only takes on two or three jobs at a time, so he has time for each one. He also helps with sourcing and will shop around for the best price on the products you pick.
You will not be handed off to someone you have never met halfway through the job.
We focus on larger projects where experience matters most:
We do not do handyman work or small repairs.
Deane is already working on homes in Northeast Florida and pulling permits locally, and he is setting up the same kind of trusted team he had before. His goal is to grow Berith Builders through good work and word of mouth, one home at a time.
