Building a custom home is daunting, but Liz and the team took us through it one step at a time so it always felt manageable. Their guidance through the process was outstanding and helped shape a masterpiece! They stayed on top of construction to ensure we moved in by our deadline, and they continue to respond to and fix any issues promptly. Honestly, there are not enough words to adequately describe their professionalism, talent, and ability to deliver. This house is pure luxury, and my family and I pinch ourselves every day that we get to live in an Element home. **★★★★★ — Chris Daigle, March 2025** > We selected Element Home Builders to build our "forever home," and we have no regrets. The finished product turned out great. They were attentive to our needs and worked hard to satisfy our requests. Our forever home is beautiful. Great job, Element Builders! **★★★★★ — Jon Hoyle, Nov. 2019** > Just wanted to thank Kyle Kelly for all the hard work he has done for us in our new home. He always had everything completed in a timely manner. He always reassured me that he would correct any issue or concern I had and made it a better experience. I think it is natural to have some anxiety as a customer to go thru the building process and Kyle always kept me informed and explained the process well. > I love our home and I am happy with our experience with Element Home builders. > Thank you for always taking my call at all hours of the day and thanks for being patient with us as customers. We are truly grateful! **★★★★★ — Sunny, Feb. 2019** > As a first time new construction client, the building landscape is quite frightening, you hear all the stories of abandonment or hasty projects requiring \> 100k of post completion follow up. Element homes stands by the standard that Carl Jacobs has set over the years, his reputation is completely justified. We found him and his team including Kyle Kelley, to be extremely professional, reasonable and genuinely concerned with building our custom dream home to our satisfaction. > > As with all construction, it never goes perfectly but what separates Element homes from the manufactured home builders is they have not hesistated to correct any and all minor issues that have come up in a prompt fashion. No chasing down, arguing or downplaying issues. Beyond the excellent quality home they built, the working relationship has been a pleasure and their post completion followup should reassure any and all future clients. A true 5 star builder. **★★★★★ — ALEXANDRA VIEJO, Aug. 2018** > We fell in love with Element Home Builders from the moment we walked in their model home and are so thrilled with the custom house they built for us. It is truly our dream home and we are thankful to have worked with EHB. **★★★★★ — Mark Atkins, Aug. 2018** > Everyone at Element Home Builders has been extremely professional and knowledgeable throughout the entire process. They have been wonderful with communication and documentation as well as being honest and upfront about costs and time frames. > I would highly recommend them to anyone wishing to complete any level of project. **★★★★★ — Hyatt Design, Inc., Oct. 2016** > Considering that there are many Orlando builders, prospective home buyers can be assured that Element Home Builders will deliver a quality product within budget and on time. Our designs are executed flawlessly with details performed to the highest of standards. **★★★★★ — nashbb, April 2015** > Element Home Builders built a home for us in 2009. They were very professional, dependable and trustworthy. They were very responsive to our requests for the minor changes needed as the construction progressed. They finished our home ahead of schedule. Even after the construction was complete, this team still responded to questions we had about our new home. **★★★★★ — edkulakowski, March 2015** > Carl Jacobs built our custom home in Winter Garden, FL. We were directed to Carl through several sources, all with high recommendations. Carl was very easy to work with and responsive to us during the design and build process. We've been living comfortably in this home for 14 years, and have had no issues; all the work was of the highest quality. I highly recommend Carl to anyone seeking an excellent home builder. **★★★★★ — kaleenandjuan, March 2015** > After interviewing different builders, we immediately knew that Carl Jacobs was who we trusted to build our dream home. We've never built a house before and Carl Jacobs made the process go very smoothly. Carl's knowledge, professionalism, attention to detail and advice throughout the process was very reassuring and made us comfortable knowing that everything was in control and on track. He kept us abreast every step of the way, always with a charismatic and positive attitude. He made suggestions about alternate engineering ideas which greatly improved the aesthetics, functionality and overall structure of the house, while making the costs even lower than anticipated. Our home was built in 2008 and we continue to have a great rapport with Carl. We have called him on several occasions for advice on other projects and he has always guided and steered us in the right direction. We highly recommend Carl Jacobs Builders. If you want your home built correctly and worry-free with great customer service and satisfaction, then call Carl Jacobs Builders! **★★★★★ — heaver213, March 2015** > I have know Carl Jacobs for many years. I contracted with him in early 2000 to build me a wonderful two story country style home. It was and is the envy of the neighborhood. Carl is a true professional and really knows his trade. Any problem I had before the construction was complete or even after it was complete he was there to work the issue. I am 100% satisfied with the work he did for me and I would whole heartedly recommend him to anyone building a new home or having their home remodeled. I know you will be totally satisfied with the finished product. ## Selected projects - [Our Gallery of Luxury Homes](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/our-gallery-of-luxury-homes-pj-vj~7593590) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 1 - Description: Experience the elegance and craftsmanship of Element Home Builders in this short video featuring a collection of our custom luxury homes across Central Florida.
