Berith Builders remodels kitchens and bathrooms, renovates whole homes and builds additions in Fruit Cove and Julington Creek. Owner Deane Wolfe is based in St. Johns, close by, and runs every job himself.
A Local Contractor for Fruit Cove Homes
Many homes in Fruit Cove and Julington Creek were built 25 to 40 years ago. They sit on good lots in established neighborhoods, but a lot of them still have the original kitchens and bathrooms, closed-off layouts and dated tile.
That is the kind of home Deane likes to work on. He knows how to bring an older house up to date without losing what you like about it, and he plans for the things older homes tend to hide, like structural walls and old plumbing.
Because Deane is based nearby, your project is close to home for him too. He only takes on two or three jobs at a time, so he can stop by the job site often and get to you quickly when questions come up.
Remodeling Services in Fruit Cove and Julington Creek
Kitchen Remodeling in Fruit Cove
One of the most common changes in older homes like these is opening the kitchen up to the dining room. That wall is often structural, so it needs a beam and sometimes an engineer. Deane handles that work, along with solid-wood cabinets, large islands, quartz or granite counters and new lighting.

Bathroom Remodeling in Fruit Cove
Original hall baths and primary baths in older Fruit Cove homes are often ready for a full remodel. We take them down to the studs, fix any water damage we find under the old tile, and rebuild them with new showers, tubs, tile, vanities and fixtures.

Whole Home Renovations in Julington Creek
If more than one room needs work, a whole home renovation lets you update the house in one planned project, with one contractor managing every trade. It is also a good time to update older plumbing and wiring while the walls are open.

Home Additions in Fruit Cove
When a family outgrows the house but not the neighborhood, an addition can add the space you need. We build first-floor additions, such as a new bedroom or family room, and bump-outs that push one wall out to make a room bigger.

Second Story Additions in Julington Creek
If your lot does not leave room to build out, building up may work. A second story can add bedrooms, a bathroom or a primary suite and keep your yard as it is. Deane will check whether your home can carry the new floor.
