Brett's design for both spaces was just what we were looking for. The process was organized and collaborative and it was a pleasure having Brett and his team here. We love how the project turned out and we are enjoying our added space! **★★★★★ — timgray001, Feb. 2021** > Brett has taken on and completed multiple projects for us at our Florida vacation home. Some projects large, some small. All projects were on time, within budget and always exceeded expectations of quality and craftsmanship. It's always refreshing to work with a contractor that "does what they say." I would give him Six Stars if it were available. > Thanks Brett, > T&D Gray **★★★★★ — BHHS FLPG--Journey Partners Real Estate, Feb. 2021** > Two things set Jacobsen Builders apart from the rest--communication and commitment to deadlines. I have referred Jacobsen to clients over the years and used them myself. Consistent feedback is that you are able to get answers to questions and there is a focus and dedication to meeting deadlines. Highly recommend. You won't be disappointed. **★★★★★ — Dr. Boyle, Feb. 2021** > Brett's team is the best I have worked with over the years. From design to completion, Brett is knowledgeable and gives attention to construction details, always finding us the most reasonable pricing and products. I trust him because he keeps his word and finishes on time. He helped us restore a 1938 vintage prairie-style home with new hurricane windows, siding, doors, kitchen, and 2 baths, and the workmanship respected the original design integrity of the house. He built us a new garage with a library on top, and made both structures energy efficient with solar panels, generator, and whole-house foaming. Both Brett and his team are a pleasure to work with. I cannot recommend any contractor more highly. **★★★★★ — HU-48169923, Feb. 2021** > Brett did a build out for us and did an amazing job. We were very happy with his craftsmanship, dedication to detail and his communications and follow through on commitments. Will use him again. **★★★★★ — Nancy Zoufaly, Feb. 2020** > I cannot recommend Brett enough, he sees your vision and will find a way to create it. His team is made up of all highly skilled crafted professionals. It's nice to work with someone on a major project that has your vision in mind and he completes it to the finest detail. I had the opposite, I have left a contractor in my home and went to work, I thought not much can go wrong in my 8-hour absence...learned my lesson! Brett is not that contractor, from our first meeting I totally trusted him and the team and each time the results have been excellent. Jacobsen Custom Builders has completed a couple of projects at my home and hopefully, he won't get too busy to do one more! **★★★ — Charlotte Cabrol, Aug. 2017** > We used this builder on two houses. The quality of the work was good. There was no contract for either job, and costs exceeded our expectations. **★★★★★ — Rob Arrington, July 2017** > I cannot recommend Jacobsen Custom Builders enough. Brett Jacobsen is bright, knowledgeable, and as professional as it gets. My wife and I have quite high standards and he met and exceeded them every step of the way. He's very meticulous. One other thing I love about Brett is that he's not just a builder, but he has great design ideas too. When we asked him questions or for his opinion he was always spot on. Our project was finished in a timely fashion and the end product was spectacular. **★★★★★ — DHD LLC, July 2017** > Brett and JCB are Excellent! He did a couple of things right up front and very well - One, Brett has a great eye for detail and he made recommendations on both design and products that made the job faster and look great. Two, he and his core crew are true professionals - people you can trust and do not mind having in your home working for days or weeks. Very impressed and pleased with the results! Full kitchen and two full bathrooms remodeled in June/July. > -David & Tracy Harris, St Petersburg, FL **★★★★★ — Sandy Curry, July 2017** > We employed Jacobsen Custom Builders for several projects over the course of the last several years. Brett is a true professional, takes pride in his work and has always delivered on time and on budget. The work is impeccable, and the "end product" is always excellent.. We found Brett to be a great "problem solver" with good ideas. At our home in ONE he built a beautiful lanai, which required relocating the HVAC system access under the house and also creating a new return in the master bedroom to improve cooling. Shortly after moving into our current home we engaged Jacoben Custom Builders to renovate the bathrooms and kitchens. The outcome was amazing, and we couldn't be happier with the work. **★★★★★ — Michael Goodin, July 2017** > We could not have been more delighted with the renovation done in our home by Jacobsen Custom Builders. Their attention to detail at every stage of the job was matched by their ability to see how each detail fit into the project as a whole. JCB was offered a complex project of incorporating an additional ½ bath as well as reconfiguring entry and exits to a master suite and building a master closet within the perimeters of a historical home. They offered excellent suggestions and ideas that we had not considered. Brett was a warm and welcome fixture on site and treated every step of the work on our house as if it were his own. The trades people were outstanding and Brett coordinated their work beautifully. We are grateful for their expertise as well as their good will. Phone calls and emails were responded to promptly and we definitely got the feeling that JCB cared about this project and our satisfaction. ## Selected projects - [Kitchen Renovation](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/kitchen-renovation-pj-vj~6097886) - Location: St. Petersburg, FL - Photos: 6 - [Residential Bar Area](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/residential-bar-area-pj-vj~2955214) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 4 - [Walled-in outdoor covered lanai with custom fireplace and artificial greens](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/walled-in-outdoor-covered-lanai-with-custom-fireplace-and-artificial-greens-pj-vj~2955197) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 6 - [Team at work](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/team-at-work-pj-vj~2593756) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 4 - [Complete renovation in the Old Northeast](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/complete-renovation-in-the-old-northeast-pj-vj~2567644) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 18 - [Small bathroom reno](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/small-bathroom-reno-pj-vj~2573237) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 4 - [Venetian bathroom renovation](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/venetian-bathroom-renovation-pj-vj~2567620) - Location: Saint Petersburg, FL - Photos: 15 - [Da Sesto Italian restaurant](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/da-sesto-italian-restaurant-pj-vj~2567625) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 14 - [Outdoor dining space in the Old Northeast](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/outdoor-dining-space-in-the-old-northeast-pj-vj~2567601) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 6 [See all 9 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/design-build-firms/jacobsen-custom-builders-pfvwus-pf~1453944616) ## Ideabooks - [brettjacobsenbuilders' ideas](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/88065903/list/brettjacobsenbuilders-ideas) — 3 ideas [See all 1 ideabook](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/users/jacobsencustombuilders) --- *Source: Houzz professional profile.
