A Smart Home managed through an Apple tablet which controls HVAC, security, lights and more is the latest from this tech savvy and innovative builder.

We had a great experience in working with their staff, they are professional and select high quality subs that produce a beautifully finished product. The most impressive thing about the company other than the high quality of the product is that they really know how to keep the job moving. We lived nearby during construction and came to the site nearly every day. It was always a pleasure to interact with the the project managers and to watch our home being built. There were always subs on the site and followed up quickly whenever there was an issue. Very happy that we worked with Glenn Layton Homes and would highly recommend! **★★★★★ — kleasure56, July 2015** > Glenn Layton Homes built a custom home for us in Paradise Key, South Jacksonville Beach, Florida. Glenn and his team are incredibly talented and professional. We went in with a concept and GLH listened carefully, designed the perfect home and built it to quality standards not seen in his competitors' homes. GLH focused on what we wanted in a home, added tremendous value and advice and made us feel like we were part of their family. Each and every subcontractor we met was extremely professional, happy, qualified and interested in providing the best service possible. We were amazed how everyone within GLH and each of their trades treated us the same, like our project was the most important job on their list. We give the highest recommendation possible to GLH and can't thank them enough. **★★★★★ — sobeachpalms, Aug. 2014** > We've been working with Glenn for almost a year now, since we are taking our home design and build very slowly. > We purchased the lot last November and signed the contract to build with Glenn Layton Homes 2 months ago. > We chose him as our builder after having seen the beautiful and diverse house plans he has customized for his clients. No two houses in Paradise Key, Ponte Vedra Beach, Serenata, etc. are alike in any way. > He and his architect, Mike Stauffer, worked with our design until we were totally delighted with it. > He has been accessible and willing to meet with us and discuss every question and concern we've had. > We feel very comfortable with Glenn and his reputation and character. We can't wait to move into our new home!! **★★★★★ — Woodsman Kitchens and Floors, April 2014** > I have worked with Glenn Layton in the building industry for years and he is a top notch professional and pillar of the community. Glenn Layton Homes combines a unique design aesthetic with quality building materials and fine finishes to provide beautiful homes. **★★★★★ — Jeremy Miller, March 2014** > In mid-2012, my wife and I decided to move forward with building a home in Paradise Key South Beach. One of the most important steps in that decision process is selecting a builder. After significant evaluation and due diligence, we engaged Glenn Layton Homes to lead the project, a decision for which we have been incredibly grateful. The entire team at Glenn Layton Homes made what we expected to be a painful, trying experience actually an enjoyable partnership. Their level of experience, core principles and values, disciplined processes, available resources, focus on quality, and commitment to a positive partnership with us were the major contributors to our outstanding experience. Furthermore, considering this was the first time we had built a custom home, we were fearful of all the decisions that had to be made throughout the process. Glenn Layton Homes' team of professionals created simplicity and reassurance with every decision we had to make, from shower enclosures to door knobs. Today, we have been in our stunning home for nearly 10 months and the Glenn Layton Homes team is just as focused and engaged on ensuring our satisfaction as they were before we signed our formal contract. Being one who is normally guarded and hesitant to offer strong references to third-parties, I have no hesitation in offering the most positive reference possible for the Glenn Layton Homes team. If we decide to build another home in the future, the builder decision will be the easiest decision of all. **★★★★★ — Klaybor & Associates, Inc., Feb. 2014** > A quality builder who obviously cares about his clients' wants and needs in their home! > > We have worked with him on several home designs, and it's clear that he wants the best for his buyers. He's very quick to get their input and revisions applied to their designs. ## Selected projects - [Custom Home - Siesta Key](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/custom-home-siesta-key-pj-vj~7787163) - Location: Sarasota, FL - Photos: 4 - Description: Siesta Key - call - (941) 756 - 7555 - [HGTV’s Dream Home 2024](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/hgtvs-dream-home-2024-pj-vj~7789293) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 4 - Description: Anastasia Island - [HGTV Smart Home 2013](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/hgtv-smart-home-2013-pj-vj~359611) - Location: Jacksonville Beach, FL - Photos: 38 - Description: HGTV Smart Home 2013 by Glenn Layton Homes in Jacksonville Beach, Florida.
