Constraction reviews in Jupiter, Florida

I’m writing this review to help others avoid the mistake I made. I was overcharged, taken advantage of, and left with property damage and ongoing issues due to poor workmanship and lack of supervision.

Joe required a 50% deposit at contract signing, which is inconsistent with Florida regulations that generally limit deposits to 10% at permit application. I am not certain whether Joe is a licensed contractor, but he could not pull permits, and I was required to obtain owner-builder permits on his behalf. Palm Beach County staff specifically warned me not to do this for a contractor.

Joe was friendly and reassuring at first, repeatedly saying he was “doing me a favor.” Once work began, he was rarely on site, barely supervised his crew, and was generally unavailable before 9–10 a.m.

His crew discarded chicken bones in my yard (a serious hazard for my dogs) and drove a heavy truck over my septic tank, causing visible damage. Work was added without approval, including a $2,000 upcharge. The project went from $33k to ~50k, and the deck was built larger than permitted, forcing me to modify my own permit.

Nearly a year later, I’m left with sinking turf and a cracked paver, and Joe has completely ghosted us. After posting a review, he threatened me with a lawyer. This review reflects my personal experience and opinion.

Please be cautious: verify licensing, get everything in writing, don’t pay large deposits up front, and be wary of any contractor who asks you to pull an owner-builder permit.

After seeing the work done on a neighbors driveway and walkway a few months ago in our neighborhood, my wife and I contacted Joe to come out and give us an estimate on a complete backyard renovation and front entry remodel. Joe told us he would work on it and when he would get back to us, and he kept his promise. He gave us ideas and thoughts that we hadn't thought about and we are glad he did. He came to my work office and sat down with me to go over an extremely detailed and professional estimate. It was the most detailed and professional estimate we received from 4 different companies we contacted. Joe was also the most personable, friendly, and responsive company we contacted. Joe came to the house daily to check on progress and to get our thoughts and feelings on how things were turning out. His father and brother along with his entire crew were always friendly, they showed up when they were supposed to and worked tirelessly, especially since we had a hard deadline. One member of his crew was under the weather for a week and still showed up to make sure the marble was being installed properly and with precision cuts. They cleaned up daily and made sure our pool wasn't destroyed by making sure it was covered properly so debris wouldn't fall in. Our backyard has been turned into a resort style property that we couldn't be more pleased with. We are in "awe" every time we look at it and this past Sunday we had a joint birthday party for our girls, and Joe and his wife came by, not only to wish our daughters happy birthday, but to also check on the deck after it was sealed and to make sure we are 100% happy with the outcome. All of our friends and family and everyone who came to the party have just been amazed with the outcome. Our backyard is absolutely stunning now and so it out front entryway. We did not know before contacting Joe, that we would also have a new friendship with him and his wife. Joe and his company will also be doing additional projects on our property in the near and distant future. Thank you again Joe, your father, brother, and entire crew.

Joe and his team did a fabulous job with design and installation. He met all of our needs and transformed our property. He was easy to work with and very professional. We would highly recommend him. We are extremely happy with the results!!

We hired Joe and team to install landscaping at our new home in Tequesta. Joe's recommendations were perfect and the plants and trees wound up being HUGE! They did an incredible job with the install and were onsite every single day to water and check on the health of the plants. We couldn't be any happier with the project and will be using them again to do our summer kitchen!

I couldn't recommend Palm Beach Outdoor Design Group more if I tried! They did the most incredible job on my backyard and truly transformed it. The owner Joe helped come up with a vision that was far beyond what I could have dreamt up myself, and he coordinated all the work. We added pavers, turf, a putting green and an outdoor kitchen--this was a substantial job and it went very smoothly. Not only was the work done extremely well, it was fast and the communication was excellent. I'm a realtor and recommend them to EVERYONE I know for backyard projects--they really are that great!

The whole Team at Palm Beach Outdoors did an amazing job on our outdoor project from communication to daily project check-ins and workmanship. We had an entire backyard redo including bush removal and replant, tile installation, outdoor kitchen, and large putting green installed. Highly recommend this team for your next outdoor project!

Palm Beach Outdoor Design Group did a thorough and comprehensive renovation of our backyard space that we are extremely happy with. Joe created a vision for our space and executed it in a timely and creative manner. The project included expanding our livable space with new pavers, turf and a putting green as well as landscaping and lighting.

Not only was the job done by our desired deadline before the Holidays, Joe was flexible and available for any or all challenges that arose. Palm Beach Outdoor is a great one-stop-shop for all your outdoor design needs!

We are very happy with the work that Joe and his team did on our new patio. It’s exactly what we envisioned. Super hard working professional team. I highly recommend Palm Beach Outdoor Design Group if you have a similar project!
