Just want to buyer beware. I just got a house build from holiday homes, Spent over 100k of upgrades, one of the upgrades was these columns in front of the house. They are made out of styrofoam and woodpeckers peck right thru. I asked them if they could treat it with the right materials so the woodpeckers go thru and they denied, I asked can I get it fixed and you guys can help me shoulder the cost , they denied, I asked them can you fix it after I buy the house if it happens again, they denied. I asked them to not pay the cost of the columns they denied. Claiming its an environmental issue. I was told from their construction manager this happens to all houses with these columns.

If you do your final walk-through of buying a home from this Construction company make sure all your concerns are written in the final contract. Don't make the mistake I made and hand them a list of things from the inspection that you won't done and let them verbally tell you they they're gonna fix it because once you sign that paper they are not gonna fix everything. And they're gonna tell you it's not in the final contract and they're not going to hold up the agreement. read more

Contract Job # BA11071512, we withdrew from the contract on 5-9-25 in compliance with Section 3.2, 5.1, and 5.3 and confirmed with Coastal Loans Managing Director that our application was designated Conditional Approval and no Loan Approval Letter had been issued. Our withdrawal was due to financial and heart circulation treatments (completed on 5-2-25 , 35 treatments/7 weeks) mandated after our initial credit information was provided in November 2024. On 5-17-25, we requested our deposit be refunded. On 6-2-25 our refund was denied because "it wasn't necessary to sell your home in order to be approved. We will not be issuing you a refund." On 6-9-25, the previous denial justification was abandoned and amended with 3 new justifications, including for the 1st time a reference to their being in receipt of a Mortgage Approval Letter of 4-14-25. On 6-11-25, the refund denial was amended, again, by the Operations Manager to the single claim of being in receipt of a Mortgage Approval Letter. This is in direct conflict with the loan information provided by the Coastal Loan Managing Director. Since 6-12-25, we have left messages, e-mails, and made two separate Certified mailings requesting the Approval message be forwarded to us as we have no knowledge of it. We have been "ghosted" by Holiday Builders for more than a month. In the absence of a response by Holiday Builders, complaints to date have been registered with the BBB, Dept of Business & Professional Regulation (DBPR), Brevard County Attorney, and 5th Judicial Circuit of Florida and essentially include the 3 documents we sent by Certified Mail to Holiday Builders on 7-2-25. Having to make formal complaints with outside agencies to simply receive a response from Holiday Builders is what we were forced to do. We've complied with contract conditions when we withdrew from the application process and will continue to seek a refund of our deposit. Detailed documentation of each interaction with Holiday Builders was provided to the Operations Manager 6-20-25. It is not evident that our record keeping has been considered at any point. We are simply asking that our withdrawal was completed in accordance to the contract language and that our deposit be refunded according to the same language. We are hoping for help and guidance at this point. The house is still under construction with completion within the next 3 months or so. read more

Holiday Builders - Most recent denial letter. No response to request for message to be forwarded. - General Contractors Near Me - Melbourne, Florida

I have been working with Andrew Smith on a new construction home in the Northeast FL area. The house has yet to break ground, however the initial steps of picking a floor plan, finding a lot and preliminary negotiations has been a very pleasant interaction. Andrew is very kind and courteous. If he doesn't have an answer he will reach out and get an answer in a timely manner. He was extremely patient while I considered floorplans and looked at the open lots. We even walked through the floorplans a couple times to compare until I found the perfect home. I cannot speak for the actual construction yet, however as for customer service, Andrew has hands down been the best! I highly recommend him if you are looking for a home in this area. This is an honest review with no incentive from Holiday Builders. read more

Closing on a home with holiday builders was a Great! Experience I never had any issues or regrets purchasing my newly constructed home alongside the warranty process. Of knowing what is warrantable and what is not which is extremely important I have to give.A big shout out to Holidays Builders David Doria. With his guidance customer support skills in addition efforts of communicating effectively actually showing he cares he went the extra mile to be sure that. He's representation of the company is the ideal way a worker should be thanks read more

Shoddy workmanship, poor quality materials, lack of communication, construction delays up to a year or more. Company family owned but built by sub-contractors. Not a good value. Find another builder! read more

Absolutely avoid this group if you can. The staff is unprofessional and does not communicate. I had a horrible experience with my purchase and getting them to honor their warranty is a nightmare. I still have a carpet stain by the back door, the light out front that the top fell off, the backplate in the washer connection that was not secured, drywall for the shower head they had to repair because it wasn't secure, the door lock that has not been replaced because it didn't work, a doorbell that had to be replaced and giant bushes and trees and lack of proper grading on the property in the back of my house as well as issues with landscaping mulch and sod quality issues. They claimed to talk to me about this a lot of this but didn't even invite me to the final walkthrough even though I was in town when they held it. I'm having to take action against them to try and recover costs for numerous issues I've had and now to top it all off they are refusing some of the warranty items. read more

Homebuilders Holiday Builders is one of the larger home builders in Florida, and there might have been a time where they were considered decent, but from what I read and from my own experience, I would say avoid if possible. While some of the issues could be attributed to Covid and the supply chain issues as a result, the huge amount of delays could have been more acceptable if they would only have been honest about what was going on. The fact is that the FL home market was red hot and they had more work than they could handle and at prices that would make your eyes water. I hope they enjoyed it while they had it, because the good times are over. One thing to remember is that they are not custom home builders, but instead, you choose from a selection of models and each model has a variety of options that you can choose from as "upgrades". In any case, we found a house / lot we wanted and the sales team was decent. The thing that sold us was when they said things "we like to keep communications clear with lots of updates". Sounded good to us. As soon as we told them we wanted to move forward, the high pressure started with all kinds of ridiculous stuff like we have to fill out the tons of paperwork right away, we have to tell them who the lender is right away. I mean really? I spoke to a lot of lenders and in the end, settled on someone completely different. As soon as you tell them who your lender is, and you decide to change that, they want to charge you $500. What a joke. Probably illegal too, but not sure. They will also pressure you to go with their lender. By choosing this option, some amount of money will be knocked off the closing. Since closing costs are somewhat at the whim of the lenders, you probably aren't going to save anything, so do your homework on lenders. Once all paperwork is signed, then the waiting begins. That when all that "communication" ceases and the new story is that they do not tell the sales office any dates - only the mysterious construction manager knows the dates. Needless to say, they will not tell you who the construction manager is until they actually begin work. And there's the catch: sales office has no idea (so they say) when your house will be started so there is literally no one to ask. In our case it took about two months for a slab to appear. Then another month for the plumbing guys to do their thing. And then another month for cinderblocks. This is all stuff that should take a week each. The entire project was start / stop for months. The construction manager did call us once. Just once. After that it was always a 1-line text answer to any question we had. Grass grows faster than it took for this house to go up. Normal time is roughly four months from start to finish. I think we came in at 11 months. And they just could not care less. Kids have to start school soon? No date available for completion. Household goods in storage? No date available for completion. Shopping for home insurance etc.? No date available for completion. Just terrible. Even when you could see the things that were done, in most cases you knew more than the construction manager or sales office ( we didn't even bother with them after a while). I would just visit the site and speak to the subs working there. Speaking of the sub-contractors, some are definitely better than others. The electrical people were just terrible. Plumbing was ok, interior / exterior walls were decently done. Floors were acceptable. Cabinets tops needed to be recentered to fit the appliances. Cabinet doors were mismatched. A lot of debris was left in the yard and was graded over. Sod was just complete weed infested garbage. The AC leaves a lot to be desired. Insulation is a joke, contributing to the AC issues we are having. They do give you a two-year warranty and we have been utilizing it regularly to fix all the stuff that stopped working or just was never done correctly. To be fair, they have been pretty responsive for those issues and someone does turn up to fix the problems. For the amount of money we spent on the house, the place should have been perfect. Another thing you learn later is that the building materials are all "builder grade", which is a nice way to say "the cheapest crap we could give you" and pass code. They do offer "upgrades" but for what the upgrade costs, it would be cheaper to have it done yourself later, and get far better materials. So, in the final analysis: the house is built, seems solid but nowhere near what they charged for it, and for what we ended up with. I have no beef with the actual construction, it seems ok but time will tell when the settling starts. The complete lack of communication goes right up to the closing when they give you like four days-notice that you will be closing... you know, like you are sitting around doing nothing all week. I would definitely shop around and really have a clear understanding of your options read more

Friendly staff and budget friendly homes. They are employee owned and it shows. Check them out!

Worst home ever. They say warranty, but when things start falling apart, can't get anyone to come. Also, they didn't file appropriate permits, now a headache with city over fines. Wouldn't buy a dog house from these people. read more

1.1 stars on Yelp and after speaking with the probable owners... son(?) For 3mins it is easy to understand why. I am truly surprised this "company" is even in business. Buyer beware because the proverbial trash will be dumped and you will be stuck with it and the costs to repair something brand new or damaged! They damage your property and make you use the courts to obtain satisfaction. Holiday Builders is NOT BBB accredited and because of the hundreds of negative reviews between Yelp and Google it's absolutely understandable why and how. read more

Do NOT build with Holiday Builders North Port, FL! We are meeting with an attorney this week. They are the most unprofessional company I have been involved with in 60 years. In three weeks, it will be two years since we signed our contract with them. It has been a horrible experience that I wouldn't wish on anyone. It's been heart-breaking, to see our hard-earned money being spent on inferior materials and workers that do not take pride in their work. I don't know how they sleep at night. The lies, incompetence and shoddy workmanship is disgusting. The subcontractors they use are subpar to say the least. No pride in workmanship. The brick facade on the front of the house is crumbling and falling off, bricks laying on the ground. The super said they were going to fire that company and have a new company remove the old brick and redo. They didn't. The same bricks are there, the "new company" (if there was a new company), just picked up the bricks and stuck them back where they fell off. Tile in the master shower has HOLES around where they installed the shower controls, waiting to see if they will replace the tiles or try to fill the huge holes with caulk. Sloppy paint job, paint on the floor around the base boards. Looks like it was painted by a kindergartener. The front window was put in crooked, and the drywall is bowing out. They set the kitchen island off center that is SO noticeable as soon as you walk in the house. It is mind-boggling that a super wouldn't have noticed it after the cabinets were installed. The blueprint shows where the island should be, and even pictures on their website of that model show where the island should be, which proves it was not set properly (which he is denying). It's apparent their so-called supers never went to school for construction or had any formal instruction in building a house. There are too many things wrong to even list here. We were told our move-in date was February 1, 2024. Over six months later on August 25, 2024, and it's far from being ready to move-in. I have read other reviews about the AC not being big enough for the square footage of the home, I will be checking that out next. Holiday Builders North Port, FL does not take pride in their work. Save yourself heartache and hire any other builder but them. read more

I dont recommend this company. Even after reading their reviews and inquiring with them they assured it was just a few bad apples. We spent weeks in Cape Coral scouting lots before decided on one. They drew up a contract, we signed and they accepted our deposit. We were contacted within 2 hours of signing advising they would not honor an incentive they promised and the cost of would increase approximately $8k. They encouraged we contact the bank to request an increase the loan amount rather than honoring what was agreed upon. If they're not honest on the front end, they won't be honest further into the build. read more

These guys are just AWESOME! I understand a lot if the frustration reviewers are talking about, one has to understand, its not all the Builders fault things happen. This is my first house, ever, and my Husbands second through this builder. The economy, supply and demand, and a million other variables come into play. I love these people! I LOVE my house!!! I will always HIGHLY recommend them! ​ read more

We moved into our holiday home in January 2022 in Port Charlotte, FL. Upon closing, there were things that needed to be fixed. They were documented with our construction manager during the final walk through. He told us that people would be calling us to schedule and guys would show up to work on our well system. Fast forward a year, and we had not heard from anybody except the granite company. We decided to start making our warranty claims. We only waited a year because our construction manager told us to and we knew after the house settled there would be potential for cracks and drywall repairs. Getting anybody to respond to is has been like pulling teeth. There is no communication. The only person good at communicating is the lady in the office I have repeatedly talked to. Apparently our construction manager left and no one handled our problems after him. After a few months we finally got someone out to the house to go over our issues and suddenly we are hearing crickets again. We cannot even cook with the water they have provided us with. It is not drinkable. It is rusting all of our bathroom hardware, our dishwasher, basically anything it touches. Our drywall was not completely textured. Our stove sticks out about 2 inches past the countertop. I could go on and on. Terrible craftsmanship. Terrible communication. And our water is virtually unusable. read more

Buyers beware! Monitor your new home construction. You will be given highway grass. Look around and do your research on the quality of grass/lawn you'd like. Also, ensure you check to the door knobs and faucets installed. Extremely poor workmanship. Check your flooring as well for unevenness. Why 2 out of 5 and not 1? The customer service of a select few. read more

My husband and I needed to purchase a larger home for us and my parents. We knew not to purchase a DR Horton home because of their reputation and we have heard positive things about Holiday Builders so we decided to go with them. Mistake!!! Our sales agent sent us pictures of the progress of the house while it was being built. It was just prior to closing that I noticed the bathrooms were formica and they were supposed to be quartz. When we decided to purchase this home we were 100% positive that both bathrooms were to have quartz counters. It was clearly stated in the property details for this home as well as from our sales agent. We know the problems that come with formica such as water damage and cracking and chipping and we didn't want that. I emailed our sales agent about this problem to have it addressed and fixed prior to our closing and it has turned into a nightmare. I did find it very deceitful that as soon as I brought this to Holiday Builders attention, someone conveniently removed the statement on the property details about both bathrooms having quartz. I have got nowhere with anyone on this matter. My realtor has gone above and beyond to try to help me with this matter and has spoken to several people going up the chain of command and at times has been treated very rude and nasty and should have been apologized to but that never happened. After several emails and many phone calls the end result was that we signed a contract for: Wilsonart- Potters Clay 5011K-22 I guess we are supposed to know Construction/Building lingo to know that Wilsonart- Potters Clay 5011K-22 is not the color of the quartz that we thought we were getting but in fact it is just plain old crappy formica that was put in a $400,000 house. In my opinion Holiday Builders is a very shady and sneaky company and I absolutely DO NOT RECOMMEND them. We did have our own inspection done and the formica counters had already been damaged prior to us moving in and were "adhered" back together. Unbelievable!!! There were several other problems found as well but the construction manager "Eric" did a great job getting those taken care of. read more

For those who are reading my comments, please keep in mind that, as frustrated as I am with Holiday builders, and continue going through the worst experience anyone can expect as a new home buyer, I am going to limit my opinions and just give you the facts. Today 5/4/2023, two years later from when I signed the contract, my house is not ready for closing yet. If you are thinking of buying your new house with them, keep in mind that just because you sign a contract with a specific price, doesn't mean that Holiday builders one year later, or before finishing your home, can't increase the price with no choice for the buyers than to accept the price increase! Keep in mind that they are very poor at customer service, and they don't seem to care when it comes to maintaining their reputation as a business, and commitment to their community. Also keep in mind that they care very little about doing things rights, from the time they pour the concrete to painting your house, everything Is done poorly, unevenly, or miss-aligned! From the electrical panel to every single outlet inside the hose everything is twisted or out level. Expect very little communication with those who are supposed to represent you and are supposed to keep you informed in regard to the construction progress of your house, because that only happens when they need to increase your price or when you nagged them for information. Be aware that if you receive any email or correspondence in regard to the time frame for completion is useless and don't make the mistake I make of renting or selling your home thinking that you will be closing in the given time frame because you will lose, and they will not accept any fault. And as the regional project manager, Steve Hardy, told me, it is what it is and we don't care whether you spend any extra money or if your daughter, your wife, and you live on the street, Holiday will not compensate you for their wrongdoing! Two years later I still am without a house and 2 months after the email stating that the house would be completed in 4 weeks, I am still without a closing day, and nowhere to live, but once again they do not care! There is a delay with almost every step, and it is always blamed on someone else. No one will ever take responsibility. We watched houses that were started after ours finished and have people move in while ours just sits. There have been multiple times where zero things are done for weeks or even a month. We have caught the company in multiple lies so now it is hard to believe anything they say. It really feels like they are treating us poorly on purpose in hopes that we will cancel our contract and they can sell our house for a higher price. If you have ignored all I have previously written and still feel you want to embark on this horrific experience make sure you record the model house with the seller in the recordings, and you read and analyze every single word of that contract because it will be too late if you have not proof a year or two later when you realize that your house is no looking the same as the house they promised! I am just mentioning a few facts regarding my experience, and I know there are multiple people in the same situation! Please know that I have proof of each one of the things, I am saying, and feel free to live your information; I will be more than happy to share pictures of all the careless mistakes on the construction site, as well as emails back and for with their representatives. My advice to you is, don't make the mistake of buying your new house with them and put your family through what I have made my family endure! Even if you must spend more money, find another more respectful company that stands by its products and does good for its customs. FYI, if you are Hispanic and English is not your first language, there are a bit races as well and your bad experience will be multiplied x 3. And not only will be limited to you but also your realtor and anyone related to you! read more

I normally rely on reviews before I purchase anything I wish I had done that before I signed a contract with Holiday builders. We have only been here 5 weeks and have had to have pretty much every skilled trade in to fix things that should have never been signed off on. The tilers used cardboard as spacers in the shower and it was crooked. My husband made them redo all the tiles. There is a huge chunk of drywall missing by the exterior of the shower where they fixed a piece of tile but just pained over the hole in drywall. The trim in my office has a 4 inch by 2 inch gouge in it that was painted over instead of replaced plus the trim around master closet door is broken. Still waiting for that to get fixed. The trimmers also sealed the trim to the FLOATING FLOOR!! The plumber was here because the toilet wouldn't flush, upon inspection the hole in the ground was completely packed with drywall. The floor company they hired doesn't do warranty work even though it was due to their installation. The fuse keeps tripping in my husband's office, the electrical people tell us "Well then it is doing its job." Not if it is doing it on a regular basis. The sod job is the worst I have ever seen, we can't even mow because of the holes and raised sod. There is actually sod over top concrete chunks in the back yard. They showed up today and did a few pieces in the front yard and never even went into the back yard which is the worst part. They even put sod down in the drainage area for the culvert. Are you kidding me? I can't believe there has been such shoddy work done on this house. The communication has been horrible from the get-go and the weekly progress reports rarely came and we had to call to get status reports. I now wish I had checked the reviews because I have yet to see a positive one all while we are still struggling to get things fixed that should have never happened in the first place. Also had to have 2 windows replaced where it appears they took a straight knife across the glass and scratched it all up. They at least got that replaced. I guess quality workmanship is a thing of the past. read more

Holiday Builders has made buying my first home ever a breeze. Tina and Jesse have been so supportive and professional. They went above and beyond from start to finish. I could not be more happy with my home. It has been such an experience watching my home get built from the ground up. Anytime I had questions or needed anything they were always one phone call or text away. A few issues came up, but that's why they provide a warranty, and they honor their warranties!!! I searched for homes on the market for months, and could not find anything even close to the value for what I got my BRAND NEW house built for. I have both a huge back and front yard in such a peaceful location. What an awesome team, and family owned business. If you are considering finding a great quality home in this economy, then search no further then Holiday Builders!!!! Even months after closing, pulling into my driveway after work I still have that "WOW" effect and think " I can't believe this is MY house." read more

If you're shopping for a new home its in your best interest to shop other builders , I made the biggest mistake going through Holiday builders they're work is half ass job , from the build to the inside.

Hope someone at Holiday Builders is having a Merry Christmas with our deposit they will not return. Lindsay Darby told us she would do whatever she could to get our money back.

Terrible quality, terrible communication, terrible follow-thru. Most employees last under a year. If you you're not dissuaded by that statement, at least get a copy of the warranty BEFORE you sign a contract. That alone will prevent you from signing the contract you're thinking about. They know their work is terrible and they don't stand behind it. You. Were. Warned. read more

I recently purchased the model home from one of Holiday Builders neighborhoods that was being closed out. Even though they disclosed that the home was being sold as-is, they did not disclose that they were switching out the range that was in the home and that was in the promotional materials advertising that home for sale. At the walk-through, I noticed that the range had been switched out for a much cheaper one (1/4 of the price) and asked that they put the other one back. They said that the other one was a gas range and that there is no gas line to the house. This was never disclosed at any point before. I said I wanted them the replace it with an equivalent electric model, which is their legal responsibility since they didn't disclose anything about it. They refused and said my only option was to terminate the contract, which would have cost me more in the forfeited deposit than the range was worth. This was two days before closing. Because of the way they set up their contracts, my only option is arbitration, which is expensive. I'm sure they know that, which is why they think they can pull stunts like this. Since closing, I've seen more unethical practices from them, so this seems to be their standard mode of operation. I have attached a photo of the email they sent out advertising the home for sale. The original range is visible in the email. read more

Stay away from Holiday Builders. I signed the contract with them almost two years ago and I still dont know when closing will be. They promised that my house will be ready within 10 months. Don't believe them about COVID and shortage of materials. This is their excuses. They submit my permits after 4.5 months after i signed the contract instead right away! Their employees and project managers are amateurs. They have absolutely no clue how to run building project's. There are 17 failed inspections on my house as of today. They are basically hiring subcontractors who dont know codes and are waiting for the city inspectors to point out what's wrong.They never order transformer and days before closing they could not hook up electricity, because transformer was missing. I learned that transformer should be order and installed after clearing out the land. Unbelievable. Now, i have to wait another month or longer because of that. I am worrying that I may have mold issue at this point because its raining season in Florida and there is no AC at the house. Framing and dry walls was done many months ago. On top of it they lied to me multiple times. This entire building experience is a nightmare and very emotional to me. read more

Initially I would have recommended this builder but after recent experience, I certainly would NOT and I'm sorry I recommended them to family/friends and the family and friends that chose to build a home with them I certainly hope they don't have any issues because the warranty dept is slow to respond IF ever and sub contractors they use provide poor quality customer service. I purchased my home in December 2020 and every since I moved in have had issues with a glass slider door, it seems this builder feels it's OK for large lizards to waltz right in through the slider door they installed. Multiple complaints went unanswered and two months before my warranty runs out they respond and sent their subcontractor out who did nothing to solve the problem. They closed out my complaint to the BBB, without solving the problem. I will be consulting with an attorney at this point to consider my options. read more

Awful company!! They built a house behind me and left my property destroyed! They tore down trees (privacy barrier) on my property, broke my fence in multiple places (unfixable), and rutted up my yard. They hoped I wouldn't notice or say anything.... After months of hoping they would fix it they didn't. I finally reached out to the company and they said they would fix their mistakes. First, I understand mistakes happen. However, I also understand when you make a mistake you fix that mistake. That was not the case here! After almost 8 months they came by and throw grass seeds on an uneven pile of dirt. They never cleaned up their mass and never fixed my fence. After I called again multiple times (they would never respond until I would message their main office on Facebook) they promised to come out and level out my yard, clean up the brush, and fix my fence/ put up a privacy fence.... Again, all they did was throw more dirt on there and clean up the brush. I was happy about that. When I messaged them wondering when they were putting the sod down and fixing the privacy issue that they caused/fence damage. They claimed they never agreed to that and have been ignoring me ever since. Now I'm left with hundreds/thousands dollars worth of damage and work because of them. What a horrible way to do business. I am understanding and feel as if waiting for 8 months for them to fix the issue is plenty of time. I have photos and videos of the excessive damage caused to my property. read more
