I am an Angie's List Super Service Award Winner and a Certified General Contractor (FLlic#CGC1507887) specializing in home additions and remodeling serving Destin and surrounding areas since 1980. My estimates are free and my contracts are written. I am punctual and my work is neat, clean, and most excellent.

"Working with David was an excellent experience. We did an unusual garage addition, and if you hadn't seen the before - the addition flowed so smoothly you would never know it was done. From start to finish, he kept us updated with the daily work to be performed. The various contracted crews we're all exceptional, picked up after each days work, and showed up on time. The job came in within 10% of initial budget, and with todays economy I'm grateful! I wouldn't hesitate to hire him for our next renovation! Chris Schaefer"

In the past few years our company has experienced exceptional growth and expanded into increasing larger and more complicated projects. These include design-build, Construction Management / General Contractor and traditional design-bid-build projects. Arista Builders Construction success can be attributed to four underlying factors: • Unyielding dedication to each project and client • Continuous attention to quality & details • Project delivery on time and within budget • A passion for the complicated, creative and unusual projects. Arista Builders Construction promotes a team environment and encourages input from all levels of staff and employees.

The lengthy tenure of many key employees is not only a tribute to the company, but benefits the project owner when a seasoned team is building their project.

Any kind of trim or carpentry work we can handle. Really can handle all kinds of projects. 2nd generation contractor. 31 yrs experience and a 2nd generation contractor. My father was a custom Home Builder for over 40 years. Started sweeping out houses when I was 13. Through all the years of working for my Dad I developed an eye for detail and a do whatever it takes to get the job done attitude. I currently work for Five Below setting up stores for them. We are now also trying to focus on finding more local jobs so we don't have to travel as much. We have set up over 400 Five Below stores all over the country. We have taken care of Five Below for 10 yrs and that is why they continue to hire us today. We know how to finish a job which is the hardest part of any construction job. Give us an opportunity to handle your next project as see our work first hand.

"Very professional and knowledgeable. Friendly and showed up when he said he would be there. I would definitely hire him again."

FAQs for custom home building projects in Destin, FL

One starting point to find a local home builder is to collect suggestions from friends and neighbors. However, it’s still wise to do some more research before you hire a builder. Read reviews to supplement any word-of-mouth recommendations. Check sources like Angi that have standards and criteria in place to screen the pros it lists can also help you find more reputable local home builders.

Typically, it’s more affordable to buy an existing home than it is to build a new one. New construction loan interest rates tend to be higher than interest rates for traditional mortgages. Additionally, the cost of materials is likely higher when building a new home than it was when an existing home was built (unless it’s a very new one). You’re also paying for all new appliances, finishes, permits, inspections, and connections for water, gas, and electricity. 

The average price per square foot to build a house is about $150 per square foot. Overall, the cost to build a house ranges anywhere from $100 to $500 per square foot, depending on where you build. The primary cost factors include location, size, and style of house you build.

The average cost to hire an architect for your home project ranges between $2,200 and $10,500. However, depending on location and project type, you might end up paying as little as $600 or as much as $45,000 or more. For example, the average cost of hiring an architect in North Carolina is between $1,800 and $2,000, but in California, that price tag jumps to $3,600 to $15,200

The price you pay for your architect also depends on their experience level. For example, a principal architect, the firm's owner, typically charges $150 to $250 per hour. However, an intern architect with three to five years of experience usually only charges $45 per hour. 

Knowing if you need an architect for your project can be tricky, especially if you've never worked with one before. In general, small remodeling projects like replacing fixtures typically don't require the expertise of an architect. However, larger projects, like moving walls or adding an addition to your home, should include an architect to ensure the project is structurally sound.
