Welcome to Central West Coast Builders LLC. where we specialize in superior customer service along with turn key build projects that you will be proud of.\nWe have been in the construction industry most of our lives. That's 40 years experience for both Russ and Michael the contractor. 80 years combined experience in all phases of home building and construction. We have the actual experience of doing the work as carpenters and masons to know how to manage and building these beautiful projects. Over the years of working in the construction business we have built and worked on thousands of homes, so we have picked up a few design ideas. \nWe have a strong geological back ground that allows us to build in areas that others can't. Before construction we do deep SBT borings to rule out any unseen sinkhole or raveling soil conditions that are so prevalent all throughout Florida. Most builders do 20' if any at all. \nWe are also able to achieve 190 mph+ wind ratings on many of our builds.

"Sentri Homes provided the most professional flooring service I’ve ever had. The LVP installation turned out absolutely beautiful, and I was amazed at how quickly everything was completed without sacrificing quality. The crew was fast, accurate, and extremely detail-oriented from start to finish. Everything was installed cleanly, precisely, and with real craftsmanship. The entire process was smooth, efficient, and far beyond what I expected. I would absolutely recommend Sentri Homes to anyone needing flooring installed."

"I would like to thank Mr. Aviv and his crew, Fernandez Builders for completing my Bathroom and Bedroom renovation. The team is knowledgeable, professional, and exudes quality customer service. Aviv always kept me (the customer) informed including lines of communication. He also assisted me with choosing materials, fixtures, color schemes, and general advise on basis building 101. Most important....the pricing. Even prior to this epidemic, Aviv worked with me with my needs and pricing. This company is for the people. If it wasn't for the pricing, I would still have mold in my bathroom, looking for a decent priced contractor. Thank you Aviv!"

"Cer Custom Renovations did an excellent job on a complex remodel. Jose was professional, accommodating, and produced an outstanding result. We recommend them and would use them again. No project this complex is without hiccups, but when they happened Cer Custom Renovations came through. Well done."

"We recently had an unfortunate pin-hole leak in a water pipe in our ceiling which resulted in an insurance claim involving water damaged sheet rock, insulation, tile, and miscellaneous electrical component, removal and replacement of all damaged items to their original state. After removing the water damaged components, the area was "blown dry" for several days to prevent any mold growth.
Ray was asked to evaluate and bid for the restoration evaluation process. He arrived on-time for our estimate appointment and was friendly and professional and very attentive to our needs in his evaluation of our requests. We asked Ray to provide a breakdown of costs involving:
1. Replace ceiling sheet rock and insulation, including recessed lighting fixtures and possible electrical components.
2. Since the kitchen wall was damaged due to the water pipe leak, we asked for a separate estimate to replace our existing sliding glass doors and sliding glass windows with energy efficient double pane fixtures. We stated that this estimate would be outside of the realm of insurance coverage, and would be at our expense.

3. Replace the kitchen wall sheet rock and tile. Prime and paint the ceiling and wall.
4. All phases and estimates would include clean-up costs and final payment would be issued upon my inspection and acceptance of all work done.
Ray provided the detailed estimate on time via email.
We chose another contractor/restoration firm based on the estimates provided and the insurance coverage. If we choose to proceed with our opportunity to remodel, we may still choose Ray for the additional sliding glass door and sliding glass window replacement.
I hope we made the right decision by choosing the lower, insurance based,  replacement estimate!
My wife and I were thoroughly impressed with Ray's project evaluation, experience and understanding. Therefore, I highly recommend that anyone searching for home remodeling, restoration, room addition, etc. consider Ray Woods Construction Co., Inc.

"Started out well. but as we moved along. Patrick never returned phone calls or responded to emails. Did not schedule an inspection on the new room addition roof which caused us a 4 to 6 week delay for new roof. Hit rainy season. Never came to inspect or follow up with problems dealing with sub contractors (Electrician, HVAC). Could not deliver on the flooring we wanted. Never updated blueprints to subcontractors so work was done that we did not need nor were others rebid at a lower rate. We caught the mistakes and lowered final payment. Painting of room where walls meet ceiling was done free hand no edger used. Colors ran so very sloppy. Did not put tarp on roof so we had water damage in another room. Tried to charge us again for work that we already paid for. Happy with room"

Custom Home Builders questions, answered by experts

Custom homes can take an average of 18 months to build, mainly due to the lengthy design process, and most projects take somewhere between 12 and 24 months. When you work with the right custom home builders near you, they can help you map the road ahead and understand what can speed up or delay the timeline. Choosing locally available materials, for example, can speed things up without losing that customized touch.

Yes, you can finance new construction, though the process often requires a different type of loan than one for an existing property. There are several financing options available:

  • Construction-to-Permanent Loan: This is a common option where a single loan covers the building costs and then converts into a traditional mortgage once construction is complete and you move in.

  • Construction Loan (Stand-Alone): This type of loan provides funding only for the duration of the construction project. Once the house is built, you will need to pay the loan in full, typically by securing a separate, standard mortgage.

  • Builder Financing: Some custom homebuilders offer their own financing options, which may only require a down payment to begin the building process.

  • Bridge Loan: This can be a useful short-term loan to fund your new construction while you are in the process of selling your old home.

  • Home Equity Options: If you are building a second home, you might be able to use a home equity line of credit (HELOC) or a cash-out refinance on your current property.

It's also important to be aware that some lenders may have restrictions on financing for DIY house builds, so be sure to verify that you can secure financing before starting your project.

An A-frame home can be cheaper to build than a traditional house, but that is not always a given. Prices can be fairly similar in some cases, depending on the location, design, and necessary site preparation. Costs for an A-frame typically run between $100 to $200 per square foot, which is comparable to the cost of a traditional home. The cost of an A-frame can come in under those numbers if you opt for a prefabricated kit.

In most cases, you should get an architect before you hire a builder. An architect will be the one to draw up formal plans for your project, including guidelines and even material lists for your builder to follow during construction. Many architects can even help you find builders, choose one for your project, and negotiate prices. Some are also willing to act as project managers throughout the process, working closely with a builder from start to finish.

There are energy-efficient options when building a cottage. Select green building materials, high-performance insulation, and energy-efficient windows when designing your cottage. Options such as solar panels, efficient HVAC systems, and LED lighting can lower your utility bills and reduce your environmental impact. Many builders offer energy-efficient upgrades as part of the design process.
