## About

- 25 Ideabook Saves

Edgewater Homes is a collaboration of the talents of brother and sister team Brad Smith and Trisha Bowley. Both are Florida natives and were raised in the quaint Gulf coast town of Englewood. Brad graduated from the University of Florida with a degree in Art. Trisha graduated from the University of Central Florida with a degree in Psychology and returned to school at a technical college for interior design.

After graduating from college, Brad moved back to Englewood and began working for G. Patrick Bourgeois & Associates Inc., a local General Contractor with over 40 years of building experience. Pat served as his mentor and taught him everything he knows about the construction industry.

Trisha enjoyed a fulfilling career in Orlando working for an Interior Design firm specializing in model merchandising, and traveled extensively setting up model homes for builders all over the country.

In 2004 Brad and Pat enlisted the design help of Trisha while building a large commercial office building in Englewood for a family member. This collaboration led to the formation of Edgewater Homes. Trisha moved her family back to Englewood and the rest is history! 

Although our model home is conveniently located in Rotonda West, we can build anywhere in both Sarasota and Charlotte Counties. If you don’t already own your land, we can assist you in finding just the right home site in one of the many neighborhoods in the area.

**★★★★★ — Ed & Cindy Thomas, April 2016**

> Trisha and Brad finished our house at the end of Feb. and we could not have been more pleased with the process and the result. Every step of the way was professionally done.  They were not only very patient with our numerous changes but Trisha helped us shop for many things (she is an expert on color and design) and Brad was always available to answer questions and handle our changes quickly.  They only use contractors they know and trust and it shows in the quality of the construction.  We are constantly complimented on our gorgeous home.

**★★★★★ — candeeeeee, April 2016**

> We contracted Edgewater Homes to build a custom home.  Craftsmanship was incredible, and home was beyond our expectations.  We have had no problems with the house and would definitely highly recommend them.  Not only are they great builders but wonderful honest people. A joy to do business with.

**Comment from Edgewater Homes:**

> Thank you Candee!  It was a pleasure working with you over the years.  Enjoy your latest endeavor!

**★★★★★ — Robert Mitchell, April 2016**

> We appointed Edgewater Homes to build our New House in Rotonda which was completed in April 2014. They were very professional, the standard of workmanship was first class and our New Home came within our Budget. Our dealings with both Trisha & Brad before. during and after completion were truly professional. We are UK Citizens so it was always a concern that we were building a new Home in another Country but Edgewater guided us through the process without any problems
> 5 STAR Service

**Comment from Edgewater Homes:**

> Thank you Bob & Alison- you were an absolute joy to build for and we sure miss seeing you!  Please stop by our new model next time you're on this side of the pond!

**★★★★★ — Sara Furguson, April 2016**

> Trisha and Brad designed and constructed a beautiful home with many custom features. It went well beyond my expectations and is truly my dream home. They are dedicated to building homes to the highest standards. I highly recommend Edgewater!

**Comment from Edgewater Homes:**

> Hi Sara- thank you for allowing us to build an accessible home for you.  It gives us great pride to know that it works well for you and your family, and really reflects your spirit & personality.  I just love all the fun colors & finishes! Enjoy!

**★★★★★ — Kevin McConnell, April 2016**

> Edgewater Homes built our home in 2015.  We are very happy that we selected them as our builder and with the quality of the products and workmanship in our home.  Trisha and Brad are very knowledgeable, personable, and attentive to their customers’ needs.  They kept us informed as to the progress during the house build and also were always quickly available to answer any questions we had.  They will also work with their clients to customize their floor plans and they did this for us.  Any subcontractor we met while visiting the site was always pleasant and polite.  We really did not feel there were any negatives to our experience and do not hesitate to recommend them.

**Comment from Edgewater Homes:**

> Kevin & Anne- thank you for trusting us, once again!  Although it will be a long time (hopefully!) before you need our services again, it's nice to know I can still stop by and talk bromeliads & crotons!  I'm still hoping to come take pics! ;)

**★★★★★ — Joanne Hellner, April 2016**

> VERY nice people to work with!  We've been in our new home for ten months now and have not encountered any problems.  The house is exactly as we wanted and Edgewater Homes helped to design that way!  The house was actually completed in less time than we expected.

**Comment from Edgewater Homes:**

> Thank you Joanne!  It was a true pleasure, you and Tom were so easy to work with and your home is gorgeous!  PS/ Brad and I both have a baby pineapple!!!!  :)

**★★★★★ — Donald Farren, April 2016**

> Trisha and Brad at Edgewater Homes do a wonderful job. My new home was built while I was in NY state and only came down to Florida once to review construction and select all the fixtures. Edgewater is professional and organized. Trisha had every day planned out with appointments and meetings. The process was smooth and with no surprises. Most of all, Edgewater hires only the best subcontractors and stays on top of them. If you want a quality house and live up north...look no further.

**Comment from Edgewater Homes:**

> Thanks for your support Don!  We sure crammed a lot of selecting into a few short days, didn't we!?  But we pulled off a custom home that really reflects your style.  If you need any more help hanging kayaks in your monster garage, let us know!
