We found Mr. González on Houzz, met with him and he drew up some exciting plans for us. He is very knowledgeable with 30 years experience, always had answers to our million and one questions, helped make decisions on the house, organized all the subcontractors and did it with grace and humor. He was a joy to work with and after 6 months of deconstruction and construction he came in with a difference of less than 1% of his original estimate. I would hire him again for a future project! ### All 14 reviews **★★★★★ — John Nolan, Sept. 2022** > Great builder that goes out of his was to make the remodeling process enjoyable. I would not hesitate to use them again. **★★★★★ — Libby Brown and Denny Youngdale, Sept. 2022** > The Fidae workers were very professional, the crew boss answered all of our questions on the spot. They worked with our design and we are very pleased with the finished products, a pergola and creative fence surrounding a hot tub. The price was very reasonable. We can recommend Fidae custom homes for customer satisfaction and good quality work. **★★★★★ — Leonard Bentch, Sept. 2022** > Ours was a small but complicated renovation of our master bathroom. Built 25 years ago on piers and beams, our home provided no access to the motor for a jacuzzi bath tub thus requiring demotion and removal of tile, and parts of surrounding walls. These interventions necessarily led to addressing access to the adjacent shower, its glass door, and tile. New plumbing as well as tub and lavatory faucets were required as well. > > FIDAE was extremely clear about the scope of work to be done, the disruption to our living space that would occur, and solicitous of our schedules. Mr. Gonzales and his project foreman, Michael McBee, were in constant communication with us to keep us informed as to worker schedules, who would be in our home, the time line, and mitigation of the unavoidable consequences of the multiple interventions. The workers were diligent, respectful, and, amazingly, also timely and neat. > > We were fortunate not to have required a larger scope project, but from our experience, would unhesitatingly call upon this company for future work in our home. **★★★★★ — qadir khan, April 2018** > Gilbert has done a tremendous job on our luxury home project and quality of his work was great. > I would recommend Gilbert for luxury home building as he has done great for our project. **★★★★★ — Roth Designs, April 2018** > Gilbert and I have collaborated on new construction and remodel projects since 2000 where we first bonded over a plea for honesty and fairness to painter who was about to get taken advantage of by the building company. Our dedication and work ethic in regards to trades and homeowners alike has clicked and never wavered ever since. Its a rarity, but we both enjoy what we do after many years of doing it and feed off one another from the design and budget phase, all the way through to move-in and follow-up. I have put some of my favorite and best clients into his hands and the results are always stellar. His relationships with the tradesmen and vendors he uses are critical to fluent communications and executions, not to mention reliable estimates. If any problems/ project hiccups occur, he not only takes on the challenges with grace but sticks with a solution to its resolve. A true find and valuable key to the best building or renovating experience you can have! **★★★★★ — Richard Cortez, Jan. 2018** > In May of 2017 we were doing a renovation of an auto garage and converting it to commercial property. In need of drawings to provide to the city we realized we were in need of professional help so we reached out to FIDAE Custom homes. Gilbert Gonzales was a breath of fresh air. He was able to work with us and help manage our anxiety and stress level. Once he understood our needs he was able to come up with the drawings and work with the city to get our plans approved. Recognizing the knowledge and expertise he brings in building homes it made it an easy decision to choose him as our general contractor. Gilbert provided us a detail budget and reviewed it with us throughout the project. He managed all the contractors and was able to stay on schedule. The building came out better then we imagined. He is a great communicator and passionate in what he does. **★★★★★ — Ann H, July 2017** > Gilbert Gonzalez, owner of FIDAE Custom Homes, LLC is a rarity when it comes to finding an individual and a company that meets and exceeds your expectations. He is a man of extreme integrity. And integrity runs through all of his interactions and relationships – clients, business partners and the people who work for him. His approach to business and work results in his clients receiving truthful interactions and an exceptional level of high quality work, no matter what level of job he is contracted to do. Regardless of the level of project, his goal is to provide the highest standard of product and customer service. He loves what he does and his appreciation for the artistry of an exceptional craftsman is demonstrated in his ability to deliver an extraordinary end product. You’ll be thrilled and often marvel at the beautiful, well-crafted and flawless results he, and his craftsman provide. Gilbert listens to your wants, your needs, and your vision and helps find a solution that is right for your project and your budget. I have used Gilbert for several remodels at my home and cannot say enough good. His eye for design, detail and value is exceptional and his respect for quality craftsmanship is what sets him apart from others in this business. He demands exceptional work from his partners and crew, and he ensures his clients are happy with the end result. It’s personal with him. It’s his brand. He is a joy to work with and enthusiastic. I’ve had the good fortune to not only have him do remodels at my home, I have seen and witnessed the incredible work he does on whole house designs and builds. I am always in awe of what he does, focusing on the detail, the quality and commitment to his client. You can count on him. And you can feel comfortable and confident, entrusting your home with him. > > Ann H. > Houston, TX **★★★★★ — Rice Residential Design, Jan. 2017** > I have known and worked with Gilbert for almost 20 years. I find him very passionate and knowledgeable about all of his projects. From a small addition to a multi million dollar new construction he devotes the same energy level and expertise. Great communicator and friend **★★★★★ — User, Oct. 2016** > Fidae Custom Homes has been a great builder for us, they are very responsible and reliable, it's definitely the best service and friendly staff. Gilbert has been supporting us in every project that we have without hesitation, looking to continue more business together! **★★★★★ — moodychas, Sept. 2016** > Gilbert's attention to detail, ethics & kindness make him an excellent general contractor. Homeowner's love working with Gilbert from beginning to end which tells you he's a great communicator and problem solver. I highly recommend Gilbert for both remodeling or new builds. **★★★★★ — carribear, Aug. 2016** > Gilbert's company - FIDAE Custom Homes - completed a total gut and remodel of our kitchen. He is the most knowledgable and creative contractor I have ever known. He had suburb ideas and suggestions and managed all of the contractors beautify. He even made sure all of the permits and security guard access to our community was arranged for all of the workers so we didn't have to worry about it. He provided detailed list of costs and variances and reviewed them weekly. Afterward he had the house cleaned and put back in order! He is WONDERFUL! **★★★★★ — Margaret Bannon, June 2016** > Fidae Custom Homes a very detail oriented contractor who you can trust with you home remodeling. Owner, Gilbert Gonzales, respects you, your ideas, and your budget. He is conscientious about knowing what you want and keeping to the plan. We remolded kitchen, den, dining room and study, which included opening up the wall between the den and formal dining room. **★★★★★ — Patti Hammond, June 2016** > Gilbert Gonzales with Fidae Custom Homes is highly experienced in luxury home construction. He is detailed and organized and is a dream to work with. I've worked with him on dozens of projects over the years and I'm always impressed with him and the product he provides. His material organization and budgeting is the best. ## Selected projects - [Memorial Drive Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/memorial-drive-home-pj-vj~6166984) - Location: Houston, TX - Photos: 32 - [Memorial Dr., Houston](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/memorial-dr-houston-pj-vj~1258393) - Location: Houston, TX - Photos: 29 - Description: Memorial Dr., Houston, Texas 77079 - [Maple Street, Bellaire, Texas](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/maple-street-bellaire-texas-pj-vj~1379235) - Location: Bellaire, TX - Photos: 64 - [Woodlands Tuscany Style](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/woodlands-tuscany-style-pj-vj~1689016) - Location: The Woodlands, TX - Photos: 16 - [Memorial Park Contemporary](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/memorial-park-contemporary-pj-vj~1689022) - Location: Houston, TX - Photos: 16 - [River Oaks Country French](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/river-oaks-country-french-pj-vj~1689033) - Location: Houston, TX - Photos: 16 - [Memorial Custom Provencal 4](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/memorial-custom-provencal-4-pj-vj~2002034) - Location: Houston, TX - Photos: 31 - [Woodlands Tuscan Modern](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/woodlands-tuscan-modern-pj-vj~1689026) - Location: The Woodlands, TX - Photos: 12 - [Piney Point Classic 1](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/piney-point-classic-1-pj-vj~2001837) - Location: Piney Point Village, TX - Photos: 60 - [Hunters Creek Village French 2](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/hunters-creek-village-french-2-pj-vj~2001936) - Location: Hunters Creek Village, TX - Photos: 47 - [Piney Point Classic 2](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/piney-point-classic-2-pj-vj~2001986) - Location: Piney Point Village, TX - Photos: 93 - [Piney Point Classic 3](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/piney-point-classic-3-pj-vj~2002005) - Location: Piney Point Village, TX - Photos: 90 - [Piney Point Classic 4](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/piney-point-classic-4-pj-vj~2002009) - Location: Piney Point Village, TX - Photos: 63 - [Hunters Creek Village French 1](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/hunters-creek-village-french-1-pj-vj~2001851) - Location: Hunters Creek Village, TX - Photos: 28 - [Memorial Custom Provencal 5](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/memorial-custom-provencal-5-pj-vj~2002037) - Location: Houston, TX - Photos: 40 - [Memorial Custom Provencal 2](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/memorial-custom-provencal-2-pj-vj~2002027) - Location: Houston, TX - Photos: 45 - [Memorial Custom Provencal 7](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/memorial-custom-provencal-7-pj-vj~2002043) - Location: Houston, TX - Photos: 74 - [Memorial Custom Provencal 3](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/memorial-custom-provencal-3-pj-vj~2002030) - Location: Houston, TX - Photos: 42 - [Hunters Creek Village French 3](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/hunters-creek-village-french-3-pj-vj~2001942) - Location: Hunters Creek Village, TX - Photos: 37 - [Memorial Custom Provencal 6](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/memorial-custom-provencal-6-pj-vj~2002040) - Location: Houston, TX - Photos: 46 [See all 24 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/home-builders/fidae-custom-homes-llc-pfvwus-pf~2013659995) ## Video - [Company video](https://player.vimeo.com/external/840731078.m3u8?s=eff5c67a0a88e101221b9ca7987d5951b54a7d8f&oauth2_token_id=1384357804) ## Frequently Asked Questions **Do you handle permitting and inspections for new home construction?** Yes, we absolutely handle all necessary permitting and inspections for new home construction projects.
