Looking fo reputable builder to build on our lot along 30A

**starfsh** · 08-28-2009, 07:57 PM

Hi, we are looking for a reputable builder to build on our lot on 30A. We are looking to build a one level house approximately 2000- 2300 square feet. We are planning a trip to 30A within the next couple of months and would like to meet with some builders while there to discuss our project.

Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

call Rod Joly at Arbor Homes in Seagrove Beach....he's been a preferred builder all along 30A for the past 11 years! He's a great guy, an honest businessman, and a superior craftsman. I've known he and his family since I arrived in 1998.

Boyd Martin of Martin Properties is a great builder. He is known for being on the job often & for his integrity. He builds primarily in Watercolor, but he also did the renovations at Eden State Park on the house out there. Give him a call 850-585-8282.

I would recommend Ray Jackson. Visit Ray Jackson Construction | Santa Rosa Beach | Florida to view some of the projects he has completed on 30A.

I highly recommend James Emerick of WaterCrest Homes: 850-585-8788. He builds a quality-constructed home, is reliable, honest, on time, and has the highest level of integrity, plus, he's a super nice guy!

If you are looking for home plans, our architectural firm has several one-story designs in your square footage range. Please feel free to check out some of them on our website: www.archiscapes.com. We have plenty more where that came from if you are interested. (I just can't put them online as fast as the guys in the office draw them up.)
Thanks,

We were very pleased with our builder, who specializes in ICF (insulating concrete forms). ICF gives us peace of mind in hurricanes, plus low energy bills, cheap insurance, and noise proofing.

You can learn more about ICF, as well as view photos of our house under construction, here (our builder's site...he's also a draftsman, and can draft a plan very cheaply for you):

Good luck! This is an exciting process. But choose your builder very carefully--it will make or break your entire experience.
