We started the process with Ryan and an architect he recommended in late 2020--the worst possible time with COVID, inflation on the rise, a change in flood zone designation during the design and two hurricanes during the construction. Building a house is challenging in the best of times but this was insane. Ryan and his team met the challenge. Everyone who visits the house comments how much they love the house, from friends and workers to the delivery people. It is a beautiful piece of architecture exquisitely executed with amazing attention to detail. > > We've gone through two hurricanes since moving in and the house suffered no damage, even though we are locate directly on the water. Overall we have to say that Nautilus has been a great pleasure to work with and we would recommend them without hesitation. **★★★★★ — Jen, Jan. 2024** > Nautilus was amazing! They were collaborative and proactive to my project on my mid century home. I have worked with other contractors, they do not compare. Ryan and his team were by far the most professional and supportive people I have worked with. The supervisors were knowledgeable and very responsive to any issues that came up. There were no surprises as everything was discussed personally and documented through change orders. I felt the business side of this company was as good as the talent they employ. I valued the excellent communication of this team which other firms fall short. **★★★★★ — Christine Adkins, May 2020** > Ryan Perrone and his staff are visionaries and brought my ideas and needs to fruition. Their attention to detail, ability to hear the client, and dedication to quality resulted in a home that exceeded my expectations. The entire building experience, from concept to completion, was a pleasure. Thank you Ryan, Abbie, Rick, Brant, and the rest of the team for building my forever home! **Comment from Nautilus Homes:** > Christine, Thank you for the opportunity to build your home. What a beautiful place! You have impeccable taste. It was a pleasure to work with you. **★★★★★ — Michael Lang, June 2019** > I would recommend Ryan and the team at Nautilus Homes for any custom home build project that you want in the Sarasota Area. Top notch work, great communication, honest answers. **★★★★★ — Jennings + Santa-Rita Architects, PLLC, Oct. 2017** > I worked with Nautilus Homes designing cabinets for a residence. Nautilus always kept the clients concerns front and center and communicated effectively. They were good to work with and put together a team that functioned well. **★★★★★ — ECHT-ARCHITECTS, Aug. 2017** > Ryan Perrone and Nautilus Homes exemplify extraordinary customer service, attention to detail, and quality work. In the world of construction, communication and teamwork is key and Nautilus Homes stands apart in both of those areas. Their entire team strives to provide the best service and quality for their clients. They are committed to excellence, and it shows in the quality of their homes! **Comment from Nautilus Homes:** > Thank you, that means a lot coming from such accomplished professionals as yourselves. **★★★★★ — Georgia Kopelousos, Aug. 2017** > Ryan and his team are very professional - including his subcontractors. They all worked with diligence and care on my historic remodel, and the end result is amazing! My superintendent Kendall was courteous, professional and always kept his promises; and Nautilus delivered based on the timeline they projected, which is pretty rare with construction projects. What I appreciated most about working with Nautilus was Ryan's personal interest in my project - he didn't treat it like a job, but rather treated it as if he were the owner. Much of his input and suggestions are what made my house the home it is today. **Comment from Nautilus Homes:** > Thank you so much for giving us so much latitude with your home. We are truly blessed to have clients like you. You have impeccable taste and are such a pleasure to work with. **★★★★★ — Lisa Hargus, Feb. 2017** > Ryan and his highly skilled employees and subcontractors were efficient, collaborative and great creative problem solvers. Communication was clear and timely and the project budgetary goals were respected while still striving to give the best quality product. A great team! **★★★★★ — rene\_rupp, Sept. 2016** > As a realtor, there is a responsibility to be an extra set of eyes for our clients and look for true quality in every home. It is our job to know exactly what to look for, and we must be knowledgable when it comes to the product. Constructing a new home requires the overlap of art and science. Ryan Perrone has taken the time to walk through his homes, and in descriptive detail, educate me on his products, the flow of a home, and true quality. Through his experience, I was able to see the thought and passion that goes into creating a perfect product. Ryan is meticulous, creative, and methodical when bringing his vision to life. Nautilus homes has a rhyme and reason for every moving part of what they create. I am confident working with Ryan because I know he will take care of my clients well beyond their expectations. I am grateful to have met Ryan and his team at Nautilus Homes. **Comment from Nautilus Homes:** > Renne, thank you for the kind words. It is nice to be recognized for the efforts we put forth. **★★★★★ — User, Aug. 2016** > As a window & door supplier, we recommend the expertise of Ryan Perrone and the professional team at Nautilus Homes. We worked together on an historical building remodel. The project supervisor and managers kept the quality of work level high, coordination of contractors easy, managed communications well, exchanged ideas openly, and adhered to the owners' concept of the architectural design, budget and project timeline. Nautilus Homes puts the clients' needs first. > > Engler Window & Door > Naples, FL **Comment from Nautilus Homes:** > Mike, it takes a team to make these homes. We are very happy to work with you as well. **★★★★★ — Rodney Evans, Aug. 2016** > As the area primary lumber supplier in the area KIMAL LUMBER is fortunate to work with several custom builders. In less then a decade Ryan Perrone at NAUTILUS HOMES has become one that sets the level of detail designed to serve even the most discriminating customer. Building in areas where most only dream of on project that are often show cased in magazines.
