Southern Living Custom Builder Program member Steve Pickett designs a timeless retreat with Pella Lifestyle Series windows and doors.

PICKETT CONSTRUCTION HAS a reputation on Amelia Island. The Fernandina Beach business is a premier custom builder in Northeast Florida. But for Founder and President Steve Pickett, business is personal: He was born and raised here, and every project is an extension of his family name.

Pickett believes every home tells a story, and says this recent project in the Crane Island community is “a space designed for making memories, fostering community, and connecting with the beauty of its surroundings.” The home is equipped with modern innovations, like the Pella Hidden Screen, to enhance the feeling of presence in nature—while high-performance, energy-efficient windows and doors ensure the memories made here will endure for years to come.
