Yes, we remodel kitchens and bathrooms and install stone tops in Wabasso Beach, the barrier-island community at the east end of the Wabasso Causeway. From Fort Pierce North it is about 35 minutes (26 miles): north on US-1 or I-95 to CR-510, then across the causeway to SR-A1A.
Wabasso Beach is a small community, 2,194 people in 2020, built around oceanfront condos and resort-style homes, many of them second homes. The practical difference here is time. Owners are often away for months, and remodels need to fit inside a set window, usually before the owner arrives for the season or between visits.
Oceanfront Condos and Resort Homes at the End of the Wabasso Causeway
Condominium kitchens here are usually compact galleys or L-shapes open to a living area with ocean views, and the baths are small, interior and humid. Resort-style homes are larger and more open but face the same coastal conditions: salt air, sand and strong sun. When a unit comes up for updating, tops, vanities and showers are often due at the same time.
For a second home, low upkeep usually wins. Quartz needs no sealing, which suits units that sit closed for long stretches, as long as it is out of direct sun. Marble and other natural stone can still work in baths and powder rooms with sealing timed to the owner's visits. Shower walls in large stone slabs cut down on grout lines, which helps in humid baths that stay shut for months.
Ocean exposure is constant. Spray and sand reach balconies and sliders, and Nicole's 2022 landfall south of Vero Beach showed how late in the season storms arrive, so we avoid leaving a unit half-finished when its owner flies north.
CR-510, the A.B. Michael Bridge and A1A: Wabasso Beach Local Notes
Every trip here crosses the lagoon on CR-510. The causeway's high-arch span over the main channel replaced the old bridge in 1970 and was renamed the A.B. Michael Bridge in 2020 (Florida historical marker). It lands at SR-A1A beside the county's Wabasso Beach Park, and just off CR-510 the sandy Jungle Trail, a 1920s citrus road now on the National Register of Historic Places, follows the lagoon north (Visit Indian River County).
The high span is the most exposed stretch of the drive, so on windy days we check the forecast before loading long stone pieces.
Indian River County Utilities serves the unincorporated north barrier island, Wabasso Beach included (Vero Beach 32963, 2013), and power is FPL. Buildings with boards set their own hours and elevator rules. Our usual work here: condo galley tops, vanity tops and slab shower walls, timed around owners' travel.
Proof That Travels: Reviews and Written Estimates for Absentee Owners
Owners who are not on the island need to trust what happens while they are away. We have no Wabasso Beach projects to show, but our Google standing (4.9 stars, 31 reviews) reflects work done in occupied homes, and reviewers describe a crew that cleans up and protects the space. One reviewer described the shop as “accommodating to our schedule.”
Your written estimate lists each item and the expected timeline. We also work in Orchid next door and across the causeway in Wabasso.

Over the Wabasso Causeway: Remote Owners, Condo Boards and County Permits
We drive up to CR-510 and cross the Wabasso Causeway to the island. If you live elsewhere part of the year, we can measure while you are in town and proceed from your signed estimate afterward. For install day, tell us who holds the key or how the building manager handles contractors.
Wabasso Beach is not part of any town, so permit questions go to Indian River County. Replacing tops and vanity tops in the same layout generally needs none; new plumbing locations or circuits require permits and licensed trades. Condo associations may add their own approval process and limits on work hours.

Learn more →
Stone Shower Walls
Stone slab shower walls limit grout lines, which makes sense in humid, often-closed beach units where mildew gets months to settle into tile joints.

Bathroom Vanity Countertops
A worn cultured-marble or laminate vanity top is often the first thing replaced in an island condo, sized to the existing cabinet so the plumbing stays put.

Wabasso Beach Kitchen Remodeling FAQs
Can you remodel a Wabasso Beach condo while I am out of state?
Often, yes. We measure and review samples with you while you are in town, then proceed from your written approval. Install day needs access through you, a neighbor or the building manager, plus the association's rules on hours and elevators. We confirm by phone or message when the job is finished, so you know before you return.
Is quartz a good fit for a Wabasso Beach second home?
Usually, for indoor counters out of direct sun. Quartz is non-porous and needs no sealing, which suits a unit left closed for months. Where a counter sits in strong sun by ocean-facing glass, UV can yellow the resin over time, so we may suggest granite or porcelain for that spot instead.
Which permit office covers Wabasso Beach?
Indian River County, since Wabasso Beach is unincorporated. Neighboring Orchid and Indian River Shores are separate towns with their own rules. Most countertop and vanity-top replacements in the same layout need no permit; moving plumbing or wiring does, and condo boards often require their own approval too.
