Yes, we install countertops and outdoor kitchen tops and remodel kitchens in Wabasso, the mainland community where CR-510 meets US-1 at the foot of the Wabasso Causeway. It is about 35 minutes (26 miles) from our Fort Pierce North shop, up US-1 or I-95.
Wabasso is one of the county's old citrus communities, and with 1,627 residents in 2020 it still feels rural. Older homes on larger lots are the norm, which brings two kinds of calls: updating a kitchen that has served a family for decades, and putting the extra yard to work as an outdoor cooking space.
Services Wabasso Homeowners Ask Us For Most
Outdoor Kitchen Countertops
Wabasso's larger lots leave room for outdoor kitchens with granite that tolerates sun and humidity, placed where the gas, water and power runs stay short.

Granite Countertops
Granite stands up to the hard daily use of long-serving family kitchens in older Wabasso homes, and a mid-tone color hides the wear of big family meals.
Learn more →
Countertop Installation
Kitchens patched over the years need careful templating so new stone fits today's appliances and sink, even where an old opening was cut to an odd size.

Kitchen Remodeling
When the cabinets have reached the end of their life, a full remodel resets the whole kitchen, from layout and boxes to the sink base and stone.

Summer Kitchens
A covered summer kitchen under a back porch suits Wabasso owners who cook outside much of the year, shaded from afternoon sun and summer downpours.

Outdoor Bar Countertops
A stone bar ledge off the porch gives a big Wabasso yard a place to gather, and granite there shrugs off rain, spills and full sun.

We head north on US-1 or I-95 and turn onto CR-510. On larger lots, let us know about the driveway and where the work area is, especially for outdoor counters, so we can plan how the stone gets there. Victor or a family member measures and brings samples, and Saturday appointments can be set up on request.
Wabasso has no town hall, so permits fall to Indian River County. New stone on existing cabinets generally needs none, while outdoor gas lines, sinks with drains and new circuits are permitted trade work we lay the counter out around.
A Family-Run Shop 26 Miles Down US-1
Wabasso is a place where people know their neighbors, so we will not invent a local reputation we have not earned. What we offer is a family-run business: Victor measures and advises, his daughter helps customers with questions, and 31 Google reviews average out to 4.9 stars. One reviewer summed up the experience in two words: “Great family.”
We also serve Winter Beach to the south, Sebastian to the north and, across the causeway, Wabasso Beach.

Old Citrus Country on the Mainland Side of CR-510
Citrus groves shaped Wabasso long before the barrier island across the causeway filled with homes, and the houses that remain from that era sit on generous lots with mature trees. Houses built over the following decades fill in around them. Many kitchens have a long history of patches: a newer sink in an older cabinet, a section of counter replaced, an appliance swapped into an opening that no longer quite fits.
That history makes careful measuring more important than usual. We check the cabinets for level and soundness, look at how the old top was fastened and record every appliance opening so the new stone fits what you have now. Outside, larger lots leave room for a grill island or covered summer kitchen, and granite is the usual choice because it holds color in sun. Being on the mainland, salt air is a lighter concern, but heat, humidity and summer storms are not.
Older roofs and porches here have weathered several storm seasons, including Nicole in November 2022, so a stained ceiling near the kitchen or a soft porch floor is worth pointing out before outdoor counters go in.
Where CR-510 Meets US-1: Wabasso Local Knowledge
Wabasso is the mainland end of the Wabasso Causeway, centered where CR-510 crosses US-1 and the Florida East Coast Railway. Most of our trips come straight up US-1 to that intersection, with Winter Beach to the south and Sebastian a few miles farther north.
The name is a small local puzzle: it is Ossabaw, an island on the Georgia coast, spelled backward (Vero Beach Magazine), and the Wabasso post office dates to 1898. The groves that gave the community its start have mostly given way to homes, but the large lots remain.
Power is FPL, and HOAs are rare. At the estimate we ask whether the house runs on a private well or county water, since hard well water changes which stone finish stays easiest to keep clean. Our usual jobs: granite on long-serving cabinets, refitted appliance openings and grill or bar counters out back.

“We did a whole house remodel for my parents and spoke with several cabinet and granite installers. We decided to go with Victor and his company because he seemed the most knowledgeable and fairly priced. The end result is beautiful and we couldn’t be happier.”
Wabasso Kitchen Remodeling FAQs
Can you fit new stone around older appliances in a Wabasso kitchen?
Yes. We measure each appliance opening as it is today, including ranges and dishwashers that were swapped in over the years, and template the stone to fit. If you plan to replace an appliance soon, have its model and specifications ready at the estimate so the countertop fits the new one, not the old.
What stone suits an outdoor kitchen on a Wabasso lot?
Granite is the usual choice. It resists heat from the grill, holds color in direct sun and handles humidity with periodic sealing. Porcelain is another UV-stable option. Most quartz is not intended for outdoor use because sun can yellow its resin. A roof over the counter, such as a back porch, adds years to any surface.
Is Wabasso under Indian River County permits?
Yes. Wabasso is unincorporated, so any permit comes from Indian River County. Replacing countertops in the same layout usually needs no permit. Running gas to a grill, adding an outdoor sink or new outlets, or relocating indoor plumbing does, and licensed trades take care of that portion.
