About Ponce de Leon

We're proud to serve 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.

Why we build in Ponce de Leon

Building on acreage is a different job to building on a subdivision lot. Access for concrete trucks, where the drive runs, how the site drains, whether you are on well and septic, all of it has to be worked out on the ground before anything gets poured. Having built up here for years, we know which questions to ask early, and that is most of what keeps a rural build on schedule.

A little about Ponce de Leon

Ponce de Leon grew up around its springs in the late 1800s, when the railroad brought visitors to what is now Ponce de Leon Springs State Park. It has stayed small and stayed rural, sitting just off I-10 in the north of Walton County with Holmes Creek and some of the clearest spring water in Florida on its doorstep.

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.
