Custom Homes
We design and build custom homes that balance modern design with coastal durability. Every home is planned around how you want to live, from layout to long-term performance.
Whole Home Remodeling
For homeowners updating older properties, we provide full-scale renovations that improve layout, functionality, and overall livability.
ICF Construction
Urban Infill builds homes using Insulated Concrete Form (ICF) construction, which creates reinforced concrete walls for added durability, energy efficiency, and storm resistance.
Piling Home Construction
For coastal and waterfront properties, Urban Infill builds homes on pilings, elevating the structure above flood levels and storm surge. This approach is common along the Gulf Coast and helps improve long-term performance in coastal conditions.

Is it better to remodel or rebuild a home in Gulf Breeze, FL?
It depends on the condition of your existing home and your long-term goals. Many Gulf Breeze homes can be updated through a whole-home remodel, but in some cases, rebuilding offers a better layout, enhanced storm resistance, and easier compliance with current building codes.
How much does it cost to build a custom home in Gulf Breeze, FL?
The cost to build a custom home in Gulf Breeze varies widely, starting around $350,000 - $500,000 for basic amenities and standard finishes, and up to $1M+ for elevated design and craftsmanship. The actual cost is mainly driven by design, materials, and site conditions.
Other factors, including flood zone requirements, elevation, and coastal construction methods, can also impact the overall cost.
How can I find a reliable remodeling contractor in Gulf Breeze, FL?
You’ll want to look for a contractor who has local experience and knowledge in the Gulf Breeze area and coastal construction. The right team will also offer clear communication, a defined process, and guidance early in the planning stage, not just construction.
Working with a design-build approach helps reduce confusion for homeowners, improves budgeting accuracy, and keeps things more organized throughout your project.

Chris Vail is unlike many contractors that I've ever worked with, and as a real estate professional that has worked with him on a number of projects, his approach is refreshing and appreciated. He is attentive and conscientious of his clients' wants and needs, and will go to great lengths to accommodate them. He is communicative, and has implemented software tools to bring more transparency into the building process - simplifying the selection process for a custom build and allowing clients to see the progress even if they're living afar. I am proud of every Urban Infill project I've been involved in!

When we were ready to build our second home in Florida, we contacted Chris and Urban Infill. We had met with multiple companies but Chris seemed to best understand what we wanted for our home, so we chose Urban Infill.
Chris spent significant time speaking with us to understand our needs and help prepare us for the journey ahead. He provided excellent design suggestions and was patient with us while helping to select the best materials to achieve the outcome we desired. The team at Urban Infill was very friendly and exceeded our expectations throughout the process. Who knew building a home could be stress-free? Our new home was completed on time and is absolutely beautiful thanks to Chris and Urban Infill!

I first met Chris of Urban Infill at a charity event in 2016 when I was contemplating building a home from scratch. Meeting Chris turned out to be a huge blessing. I had a very specific idea of what I wanted and Chris helped me improve upon it. He gave me some amazing ideas that I hadn't considered, and suggested some changes to my original idea that ended up being 1000% better. His extensive knowledge and professionalism made it easy to choose his company to do the job. I would say that I would use Urban Infill again, except that I won’t need to!
