Remodeling
with mastery:
from foundation to finish
27 Years of Luxury Renovations in the U.S. Virgin Islands.
The multi-trade master advantage
When you open walls in a 30-year-old USVI home you find surprises. Wiring that was never up to code. Plumbing that has been patched three times over. Structural elements compromised by a storm nobody documented. Most contractors call a specialist or walk away. Mark picks up his tools and fixes it.
He has the credentials for every trade that could be hiding behind that wall. That is not a bonus — it is the reason a remodel done by Mark ends without a list of unresolved problems handed back to you.

Precision meets performance
We remodel. We fortify. Every time. Our interiors are designed to withstand the unique pressures of coastal environments without sacrificing luxury.
What's behind the wall
In the USVI, opening a wall is not a design decision. It is an investigation. Outdated electrical, water-damaged framing, compromised structural ties from past storms. Mark has seen it all. He has the certifications to fix all of it without calling anyone else.
Salt air destroys cheap materials
Marine-grade hardware. Treated hardwoods. Architectural-grade stone. The materials that survive the USVI climate cost more than what you find at a mainland big-box store. Mark will not let cheap materials into your home. The salt air will find them before you do.
Every remodel touches the cistern
In Caribbean architecture the cistern is the structural base of the home. Move a wall wrong and you compromise it. Mark specializes in maintaining full cistern integrity while expanding your living space. He knows exactly where the boundaries are.

"Every remodel is a conversation with whoever built it before you. Sometimes that conversation is uncomfortable. We have those conversations so our clients don't have to."
— Mark Vitalis, Solution Construction
Engineered for the islands
The 'blue bitch' standard
Building on USVI's notorious volcanic rock requires specialized diamond-bit drilling and reinforced seismic foundations. We don't just build on it; we anchor to it.
Cistern integrity
Structural remodels often impact the cistern's footprint. We specialize in maintaining watertight integrity while expanding your living space.
Hurricane anchors
Every interior wall we move is replaced with structural steel reinforcement that acts as a secondary exoskeleton for your home.
Expert Guidance
What is the biggest challenge when remodeling a USVI home?
The biggest challenge is handling what's behind the wall. Most older island homes have undocumented storm damage or outdated utility systems. Mark Vitalis's multi-trade mastery ensures these issues are identified and corrected immediately.
Why are marine-grade materials mandatory for island remodels?
The salt-heavy Caribbean air acts as a corrosive agent. Cheap mainland materials fail within 24 months. We use marine-grade hardware, treated hardwoods, and specialized coatings to ensure your remodel survives the environment.
Can you expand a home without damaging the cistern?
Yes, but only with expert structural knowledge. Since the cistern is the foundation base of island homes, wall relocations must be engineered precisely. We specialize in maintaining cistern integrity during luxury expansions.
