Built on Craftsmanship. Led by People Who Care About the Outcome.
Pickett Construction is a full-service general contractor located in Northeast Florida. We specialize in high-end custom homes, luxury remodels, and commercial construction projects across the region, including Amelia Island.
We are a relationship-driven company. Every client we take on works directly with our leadership. That is not a marketing position. It is how we have always operated.
Led by Steve, From the First Call to the Final Walk-Through
Steve leads every project personally. When you work with Pickett Construction, you are not passed off to a project coordinator after the contract is signed. You have direct access to the person responsible for your build throughout the entire process.
This level of involvement is intentional. High-value projects require consistent oversight, clear decisions, and a builder who is genuinely invested in the outcome.
