Pavilion Builder in Ponte Vedra Beach, FL
Custom backyard pavilions for Ponte Vedra Beach: roofed gathering spaces designed in person with you in AutoCAD and built on site.
A pavilion is a larger roofed structure built for gathering: a dining table for a crowd, an outdoor kitchen, a lounge with a TV, or all three.

Pavilions: Your Options
- Freestanding gathering space. Set out in the yard, beside the pool or at the end of a walkway, sized for how many people you host.
- Roof matched to the house. Roofing and trim chosen to look like they belong with your home.
- Kitchen, fireplace or TV underneath. A pavilion is a natural home for an outdoor kitchen, a fireplace or a TV wall.
- Wood ceilings, fans and lighting. Warm wood ceilings with fans and lighting planned in the design.
- The floor and the walk to it. Paver or stone floors and walkways that connect the pavilion to the house.
Shade makes a real difference: the EPA reports that shaded surfaces can be 20 to 45°F cooler than the peak temperatures of unshaded materials.
Pavilions in Ponte Vedra Beach: What's Different
Pavilions in Ponte Vedra Beach. On larger Ponte Vedra Beach lots, a freestanding pavilion can give a crowd a shaded place by the pool or out in the yard. In gated communities the board will look closely at height, roof color and visibility from neighbors, so we show all of it in AutoCAD first.
Your neighborhood's architectural review comes first. In Ponte Vedra Beach, the review board will want to see how the pavilion ties into the house, the roof material and color, and where it sits relative to the setbacks. We show all of it in the AutoCAD design and on a scaled site plan on your survey. Confirm current guidelines with your association.
St. Johns County permits. Ponte Vedra Beach is in St. Johns County, which issues the building permit, usually after a clearance sheet, and automatically notifies registered architectural review associations. A recorded Notice of Commencement is required for most permitted projects. See our St. Johns County permit guide.
Fans under a covered roof help because moving air helps sweat evaporate from your skin; as ENERGY STAR puts it, fans cool people, not rooms.

We design to your community's guidelines from the first sketch and prepare the full submission for you. Approval is up to the board, so confirm current guidelines with your association.
Do I need a permit for a pavilion in Ponte Vedra Beach? Most attached or roofed structures need a building permit in St. Johns County, and many freestanding ones do too, depending on size and design. We pull the permits for you, and every permitted structure gets its necessary engineered documents.
Do you build pavilions in Ponte Vedra Beach? Yes. We design and build custom pavilions, serving homeowners in Ponte Vedra Beach. Your project starts with a design session at our Jacksonville studio, and then Amany comes to your home for the in-home design visit.
