Yes, we serve Hobe Sound. It is one of our longer regular runs, about 50 minutes (37 miles) from Fort Pierce North by I-95 to the Bridge Road exit, so we plan Hobe Sound visits to cover as much as possible in each trip: measuring, a material conversation and, where you're ready, a firm written estimate.
What sets Hobe Sound apart is how quiet it stays. Wedged between Jonathan Dickinson State Park and the Hobe Sound National Wildlife Refuge, it is an unincorporated community rather than a city, with plenty of single-story homes where kitchens and baths get updated room by room.
Bridge Road, US-1 and a 50-Minute Drive: Planning a Hobe Sound Visit
We take I-95 south to Bridge Road, or US-1 if you're near the old Dixie Highway corridor. Because the round trip is close to two hours, we book Hobe Sound measuring visits with time to talk through materials on the spot, and we try to have your sink, faucet and fixture choices settled before the template so nothing needs a second trip.
Hobe Sound is unincorporated, so layout changes are permitted through Martin County's building department. Jupiter Island, just across the bridge, is a separate town with its own office, and we keep the two straight. Relocating a shower drain or adding a bathroom circuit is licensed, permitted work; we lay out at the estimate what your plan needs.
Single-Story Streets Between the State Park, the Refuge and the Intracoastal
Hobe Sound's housing runs along US-1 and Dixie Highway: older single-story homes near the commercial strip, gated golf neighborhoods set back among the pines, and waterfront houses toward the Intracoastal and the bridge to Jupiter Island. So much of the surrounding land is preserved that the community has grown slowly, and many homes have been updated in pieces over the years.
Two things come up in nearly every bathroom conversation here. The first is moisture: with the Loxahatchee River and wetlands on one side and the Intracoastal on the other, humidity sits high most of the year, so we favor stone shower walls with few grout lines and vanity tops chosen for low upkeep. The second is access, since owners planning to stay put often want a low-threshold shower in place of an old tub.
In kitchens, quartz suits owners who want a top that never needs sealing, while marble fits islands and vanities for those who like how it ages. Hurricanes Frances and Jeanne made landfall a short drive up the coast near Stuart in September 2004, and owners here still plan a remodel around storm season.
Bridge Road, Dixie Highway and the Sound: Hobe Sound Local Notes
Bridge Road (CR-708) is our way in from I-95, running east through pine flatwoods to the small downtown on Dixie Highway beside the railroad. Keep going and the road crosses Hobe Sound itself, the stretch of the Intracoastal between the mainland and Jupiter Island. US-1 heads south from here past Jonathan Dickinson State Park toward Tequesta.
FPL supplies the power. Gated golf communities usually keep a contractor gate list and set work hours, and some route exterior changes through an architectural committee, which matters if a remodel adds a patio counter. Homes near the sound or the Loxahatchee live with marsh humidity, so a ventilated sink base and sealed stone edges are on our checklist.
The typical jobs here: tub-to-shower conversions for owners staying put, quartz or marble vanity tops, and kitchen updates in single-story homes that have been remodeled one room at a time.
Services Hobe Sound Homeowners Ask Us For Most
Kitchen Remodeling
Kitchen remodels in single-story Hobe Sound homes where cabinets, tops and sink are replaced in one coordinated project. We plan around the 50-minute drive so template and install each take one trip.

Quartz Countertops
Non-porous quartz holds up to the humid air near the refuge and the river without a sealing schedule. It wipes clean with mild soap and water.
Learn more →
Marble Countertops
Marble for islands and powder rooms in homes where owners welcome a softer, aged look. We seal it at install and leave care notes for the humid months.

Tub-to-Shower Conversion
Trading an old tub for a low-threshold shower is a practical update for owners staying in their Hobe Sound homes long term. Moving the drain is permitted plumbing work.
Learn more →
Bathroom Vanity Countertops
Quartz or marble vanity tops, sometimes cut from a remnant of the kitchen slab. Pairing a vanity with a kitchen job makes the long drive count twice.
Learn more →
Stone Shower Walls
Large stone or quartz shower panels in place of tile cut grout lines, which matters in homes near the Loxahatchee wetlands, where humidity rarely lets up.

For a bath remodel, the mess matters as much as the result. Several of our Google reviewers describe the crew protecting floors and cleaning up before leaving, part of why we hold 4.9 stars across 31 reviews. We have no Hobe Sound project photos to show yet, so we would rather point you to those reviews than to stock images.
We also work in Port Salerno, Tequesta and Jupiter Island along the same corridor. Bring photos of the bath or kitchen, rough room sizes and any fixtures you've already picked to the estimate.

Hobe Sound Kitchen Remodeling FAQs
Is Hobe Sound within your regular service area?
Yes. At roughly 50 minutes from our shop, Hobe Sound is toward the southern end of where we work regularly, with only Jupiter Island and a few Palm Beach County towns farther. We schedule measuring and install days early in the workday so the drive doesn't eat into the job itself.
Who permits a shower remodel in Hobe Sound?
Martin County's building department, because Hobe Sound is an unincorporated community. Moving a shower drain, changing a valve location or adding a circuit needs a permit and licensed trades, while a like-for-like vanity top swap usually does not. Jupiter Island across the bridge has its own town permitting, so tell us which side of the water you are on.
Will a marble vanity top hold up in a humid Hobe Sound bathroom?
Marble handles humidity fine; what it dislikes is acid and harsh cleaners, which etch the polish. We seal it at installation and recommend a pH-neutral cleaner. If you want a white vanity with no upkeep, quartz is the easier choice. Some owners split it: marble in the guest bath, quartz in the busy primary bath.
