About Wilson & Co

A Designer Who Builds

Most contractors subcontract design. Most designers don't build. Jay Wilson does both. Wilson & Co Design Build exists because Jay believes the person who designs your home should be the person who builds it. No handoffs. No miscommunication. No lost-in-translation moments between an architect's rendering and a builder's interpretation.

Jay's background is in design — spatial planning, material selection, architectural proportion, and the details that make a house feel intentional rather than assembled. His general contractor license (CGC1532295) means he doesn't just draw beautiful plans, he stands on the job site every morning making sure the framing matches the vision.

What We Build

Wilson & Co specializes in projects where design intent matters most:

• Custom homes — designed from scratch for your lot, your lifestyle, and Florida's unique building conditions
• ADUs & guest houses — detached cottages, garage-top apartments, and in-law suites that complement your main home
• Whole-home renovations — transforming existing homes under one design-build contract
• Home additions — master suites, second stories, and Florida rooms that blend seamlessly with existing architecture
• Kitchen & bathroom remodels — high-end spaces designed around how you actually live
• Custom interiors — built-ins, millwork, and architectural details that set your home apart

The Design-Build Difference

In the traditional model, you hire a designer, wait months for plans, bid them to contractors, then spend the project managing the relationship between two parties who often disagree. The designer blames the builder. The builder blames the plans. You're stuck in the middle.

Design-build eliminates all of that. One contract. One team. One person accountable. Jay designs with construction realities in mind from day one — materials availability, cost implications, structural efficiency, Florida code requirements. The result: fewer change orders, faster delivery, and a home that matches the rendering.

We serve homeowners throughout Northeast Florida: St. Augustine, Jacksonville, Ponte Vedra, Nocatee, Palm Coast, and Flagler Beach.
