Countertops · Palm City, FL

Countertops in Palm City, FL, past the speckled granite.

Palm City's golf-community kitchens were mostly built with busy speckled granite. A calmer quartz or quartzite, a waterfall island and a new backsplash bring the same kitchen forward twenty years.

Palm City, Martin County

Keep the layout, change the stone.

In Martin Downs, Piper's Landing and Hammock Creek the kitchens are generous and the layouts usually work. The counters and backsplash are what date them, so that's where the money goes furthest.

Seams get planned with you, at the sink or a corner, so they never cross the middle of the island.

Old Palm City, near the river, is the older core and one of Martin County's six community redevelopment areas. West of it, gated golf and country club communities fill most of the map, with single-family homes, villas and some condos. Hammock Creek, for example, was built by Lennar between 1997 and 2004.

What we build in Palm City

One slab, folded down the sides.

A waterfall island is the one counter people walk around and run a hand along. The miter at each corner has to be tight and the veining has to wrap around it, so the slab is planned as one piece before it's cut.

What to know in Palm City.

Permits

Martin County Building Department

Palm City is unincorporated, so permits come from Martin County, not the City of Stuart across the river. Applications go through the county's Accela Citizen Access portal or the permit counter.

Permit office

  • Permits are county jurisdiction even though downtown Stuart is one bridge away.

  • Most of the gated communities run homeowners' associations. Since July 2024, Florida law bars an HOA from limiting interior changes that can't be seen from the street, a neighbor or the golf course.

  • Exterior changes, like a new window in a shower wall, still go through the HOA's architectural review.

  • Lots along the South Fork and its creeks can sit in FEMA flood zones, so large renovations should check the 50% substantial improvement rule first.

Does my Palm City HOA have to approve a bathroom remodel?

Not for interior work nobody can see from outside. Florida Statute 720.3035 stops HOAs from limiting interior changes that aren't visible from the frontage, an adjacent lot, common area or golf course. Gate access, work hours and exterior changes are still the association's call.

Is Palm City part of Stuart for permits?

No. Palm City is unincorporated Martin County, so the Martin County Building Department handles permits and inspections.

How long does an HOA architectural review take if I change the exterior?

It depends on the association's documents and meeting schedule. Submit drawings and product details early so the review runs while the permit is being prepared.

Light, built in

The glow is part of the tile plan.

Lit niches, floating vanities with light underneath, mirrors that glow from behind. It shows up in our favorite rooms because it gets drawn into the tile layout, not added after the wall is done.
