    Walton County

    JAT Specialties builds across Walton County, from the beach communities along 30A to the pine country north of the bay. We are a Walton County company ourselves, which means the crews on your job are not driving in from another market and clocking out the second the light fades.

    • Santa Rosa Beach
    • Freeport

  2. Three-storey custom coastal home lit from within at dusk, with teal board-and-batten siding and a white stucco base.

    Service Area 02

    Santa Rosa Beach

    Santa Rosa Beach and the 30A corridor are where we do much of our custom work, homes with deep porches, standing-seam metal roofs and the kind of finish detail that shows up in photographs. It is also the most demanding place in the county to build well.

  3. Close view of a pale-green insulated concrete form wall with a red-framed door opening.

    Service Area 03

    Freeport

    Freeport is one of the fastest-growing parts of Walton County, and a lot of what we build there is what people move to Freeport for in the first place, a larger lot, a house laid out the way the family actually lives, and a shorter drive to the beach than the beach itself allows.

  4. An insulated concrete form wall with a large square window opening framed through it.

    Service Area 04

    Ponce de Leon

    Ponce de Leon is home country for JAT Specialties. It is a small town, the lots are generous, and the work up here tends to be exactly the kind we like, a whole house from a bare site, built for a family who intends to stay in it.

    Neighborhoods

    • Ponce de Leon
    • Redbay

  5. A three-storey concrete house shell under construction with tall formed window openings.

    Service Area 05

    DeFuniak Springs

    DeFuniak Springs is the county seat and the oldest built environment in Walton County, which makes it one of the more interesting places we work, new custom homes on one street, careful remodelling of century-old houses on the next.

    Neighborhoods

    • Historic District
    • Circle Drive
    • Mossy Head
    • Glendale

What Makes Us Different

Not all builders are created equal.

  1. A finished JAT Specialties home with a pool courtyard and screened porch.

    We are ICF specialists, not dabblers

    Plenty of builders will quote you an ICF house. Very few build them regularly. Insulated Concrete Form construction is what we are known for on this coast, a steel-reinforced concrete wall, insulated on both faces, that stands up to storms, stays quiet and cuts what you spend cooling it.

  2. A finished kitchen and great room with white shaker cabinetry and wide-plank hardwood floors.

    Engineering sits behind the build

    Jeremy's background runs through civil engineering, construction administration, architectural project management, site supervision, site design and surveying. That is an unusual foundation for a homebuilder, and it shows up in how site, drainage and structural questions get answered, early, and properly.

  3. Jeremy and Mitchell Trantina standing either side of the lettered JAT Specialties company trailer.

    You get the family, not a middleman

    JAT is a family company. Jeremy started it in 2006, Mitchell joined in 2016 and Mason in 2023. When you hire us, the people who own the business are the people on your job, which is the whole reason our estimates hold and our punch lists actually get closed.
