Working with the entire Lee team was a great experience. Once we were in the house there were very few maintenance issues (and no major ones) & the Lee warranty team resolved each issue quickly & expertly. To this day they still respond to emails from me when I have a question about something or I'm looking for a recommendation for a quality service professional. Nine years later the house is still the best built home we have ever lived in. **★★★★★ — Howard Alster, Nov. 2018** > Wetherington Homes was recommended to my wife and I by some close friends who had built with them a little over two years ago. We liked their home and decided to go with Wetherington when we decided to have our own home built. > We were not disappointed! Having gone through the construction process three prior times, twice in Pennsylvania and once here in Florida (the latter, with a different builder), I must say that Wetherington was the best we had experienced by a large measure. > The design studio, choices, and personnel were first rate. Our lead builder Chris Stauffer and head of the pool construction section, Todd Hubbard, were the highlight of the building process. > Chris was not only easily accessible throughout, but responsive to any questions, requests or concerns. These were acted on quickly and to our satisfaction. He also was great at providing guidance through the process. > Todd was also very accessible and provided excellent guidance with pool design and oversight. > Punch list items near moving time were relatively few and also quickly addressed. > We would highly recommend building with Lee Wetherington. We are absolutely delighted with both our new home and pool. > Howard Alster **Comment from LEE WETHERINGTON HOMES:** > We truly appreciate the vote of confidence, Howard! Thank you! **★★★★★ — ArtisTree Landscape Maintenance & Design, June 2017** > As a full-service landscape company, ArtisTree has had the privilege to work on numerous design projects with Lee Wetherington Homes since 2006. Without a doubt, they are engaged, communicative and extremely attentive to detail -- always going beyond and above to ensure their clients’ satisfaction is achieved. Select a prestigious Lee Wetherington Home and you won’t be disappointed. **Comment from LEE WETHERINGTON HOMES:** > ArtisTree is a valued Trade Partner of ours and a very important part of the team. **★★★★ — Frank Macerato, Feb. 2017** > We built a house with this company and had a couple of cosmetic issues late in construction. They have resolved the issues in a satisfactory manner. **★★★★★ — Pam Charron REALTOR, Berkshire Hathaway, July 2014** > Lee Wetherington homes consistently deliver quality constructed homes and introduce new ideas, such as the 'Florida basement' to our market area. I've experienced not only living in a LW Home but also the opportunity to help my customers buy a LW home. Great experience, quality homes. **★★★★★ — Halfacre Construction Co, Oct. 2013** > Beautiful homes and a great company to work with. Customer service is excellent and their home designs are stunning. They are based in Lakewood Ranch, FL and build homes in Sarasota and Manatee Counties. **★★★★★ — cpcjr, July 2013** > Lee cares about his customers and his community. I've worked with Lee as a volunteer, as a customer, and as a representative of one of his clients. In each case, the Lee Wetherington involved was the same -- honest, straightforward, and practical. There's no spin with Lee, who stands behind his products and his customers. ## Selected projects - [Sand Dollar Model](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/sand-dollar-model-pj-vj~7626329) - Location: Sarasota, FL - Photos: 96 - [Caravel Model Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/caravel-model-home-pj-vj~7485490) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 88 - [Haven Model](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/haven-model-pj-vj~7435275) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 100 - [Cobalt Model](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/cobalt-model-pj-vj~7435259) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 74 - [Sapphire Model](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/sapphire-model-pj-vj~7435245) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 100 - [Mainstay II - 2 Story at LakeHouse Cove](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/mainstay-ii-2-story-at-lakehouse-cove-pj-vj~7311831) - Location: Sarasota, FL - Photos: 87 - Description: Innovation intertwines seamlessly with timeless elegance in the Mainstay II – Lee Wetherington Homes’ latest take on modern coastal design.
