At Encore Design and Build, our in house design team allows us to take your project from paper to the ground up in less time. Unlike most builders, we work with our vendors as direct dealers for product. By taking away the middle man we eliminate costs and layers of management which streamlines the design build process. This concept provides the homeowner with a higher level of communication and service which makes building with us a great experience. We take design to the next level with 3D renderings, superior finish selections and the use of premium materials that stand out among the rest. Hand in hand, we will walk you through the build process every step of the way. Let us curate a build experience that will leave you wanting an Encore. ### Services Provided - New Home Construction - Custom Homes - Home Remodeling - Home Additions - Home Extensions - Green Building - Project Management - Home Restoration - Historic Building Conservation - Handicap-Accessible Design - Kitchen Remodeling - Outdoor Kitchen Construction - 3D Rendering - Outdoor Kitchen Design ### Areas Served - Bradenton - Sarasota - University Park - South Bradenton - Bayshore Gardens - Fruitville - Palmetto - Sarasota Springs - Memphis - Bee Ridge - Longboat Key - West Samoset - South Gate Ridge - Southgate - Ellenton - Siesta Key - Cortez - The Meadows - Ridge Wood Heights - South Sarasota - Samoset - West Bradenton - Lake Sarasota - Kensington Park - Holmes Beach - North Sarasota - Desoto Lakes - Anna Maria - Bradenton Beach - Palmer Ranch - Tallevast ### Typical Job Cost $50,000 - 5 million ## Business Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Business Name | Encore Design Build | | Address | Bradenton, Florida 34209, United States | | Phone | (941) 267-0854 | | Website | https://encore-db.com | | License Number | CRC1333605 | | Years in business | 27 | | Followers on Houzz | 5 | **Social profiles:** - Facebook — https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100086303887452 - Blog — https://www.instagram.com/encoredesignbuild/ ## Contact - **Houzz profile:** [Encore Design Build](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/home-builders/encore-design-build-pfvwus-pf~281367103) - **Website:** https://encore-db.com - **Phone:** (941) 267-0854 ## Credentials **Verified License** - Number: CRC1333605 - Type: Certified Residential Contractor - Issued by: FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF BUSINESS & PROFESSIONAL REGULATION - **Best of Houzz:** 2 awards (2024–2025), for Service. ## Reviews **Overall rating: 5.0 out of 5 — 9 reviews** *Aspect averages:* - Work Quality: 50.0 - Communication: 50.0 - Value: 50.0 ### All 9 reviews **★★★★★ — Isabelle Segal, June 2026** > We did an extensive renovation with Encore Design Build and they did not disappoint.

Their broad background and knowledge of the industry were shown in their communication and implementation. The quality of their work is excellent! We trusted them so much that when we went out of the country for a wedding, we gave them the key so they could continue working. I am happy to give my highest recommendations for Monty and his crew. They are standout professionals! > Sincerely, > S. Newton > Sarasota, FL **★★★★★ — Darcy Sheldon, June 2023** > I had a wonderful experience with Mont and his son Monty of Encore Company LLC. They replaced my bathroom vanity, countertop, hardware and large mirror. Their estimate was very detailed and they provided me with a daily schedule, which they kept. They listened carefully to my requirements and vision and provided excellent suggestions for products. I really appreciated their meeting me at both the cabinet maker and the quartz supplier to view and provide advice on the quartz selection and cabinet design options. They were always on time, were careful to abide by my building's rules, were meticulous and neat, and were two of the nicest people I have met. It was an easy experience and I am thrilled with the results. I highly recommend them for your small or large project. **★★★★★ — Rebecca O’Neil, May 2023** > Encore did an amazing job with our remodel. Everything was coordinated and work was done on schedule. We appreciate the fine level of detail and care that was taken inside of our home. We love the final result and can’t wait to enjoy our updated home. Thank you Encore! **★★★★★ — LilyPad Home Design, March 2023** > I was fortunate to have Mont as the project manager on the first phase of the remodel of my childhood home. Living in a different state and trusting someone to oversee a remodel is daunting to say the least, however, Mont was incredible! Honestly without him the project never would have been completed! He navigated supply issues due to the pandemic with great communication and kept me updated daily on the project. Not only was he easy to get in touch with - answering my texts within minutes of receiving them - he was also courteous and extremely helpful with making decisions along the way. He was patient with my change orders and never seemed frustrated when I added “just one more thing” - we love that fireplace by the way! Our new sunroom and future kitchen space take my breath away! I am so excited to work with him again on the next phase of my remodel! **★★★★★ — Kenneth M. Steinglass, May 2022** > I am writing this unqualified recommendation on behalf of Mont Hartman, with whom my wife and I have worked closely over the past year on what became a major residential renovation project in Sarasota, FL. > > Mont Hartman assumed the role of Project Manager soon after we designed and contracted for what was then planned to be a limited condominium remodel. Mont brought himself “up to speed” quickly and then reached out to us to meet and refine our goals and the scope of our project. Throughout our renovation Mont was responsive, respectful and creative. His vision, team leadership, broad range of knowledge in all areas of our project (design, permitting, electrical, plumbing, cabinetry, counters, tile, flooring, painting, electronics, etc.) and problem-solving skills were the critical factors that have led to a wonderful outcome with which we are very pleased. > > As is often the case, our project changed and expanded as we proceeded. Mont handled these modifications smoothly and efficiently and with good humor. Mont also needed to deal with some unusual additional challenges. The project was undertaken in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic with resultant difficulties in coordination and supervision of subcontractors, supply chain disruptions and safety concerns. In addition, the bulk of this renovation was undertaken remotely, since our primary residence during this project was in NYC. Nevertheless, Mont was able to keep us well-informed and involved on all aspects of the project with his regular texts, detailed emails, pictures and FaceTime calls. > > We feel fortunate to have worked with Mont and his team. Their work ethic, experience, integrity, skills, maturity and advocacy are exceptional. We are pleased to recommend Mont Hartman and his team enthusiastically and without reservation. ## Selected projects - [Ferrari Man Cave](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/ferrari-man-cave-pj-vj~6892634) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 22 - [Coastal Cottage](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/coastal-cottage-pj-vj~7282738) - Location: Bradenton, FL - Photos: 2 - Description: More photos to come of our recently finished project in Cortez, FL. - [Island Contemporary Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/island-contemporary-home-pj-vj~6810956) - Location: Anna Maria, FL - Photos: 45 - [Bamboo Terrace](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/bamboo-terrace-pj-vj~7808862) - Location: Bradenton, FL - Photos: 9 - [Driftwood Manor](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/driftwood-manor-pj-vj~7511189) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 59 - [Flamingo Cay ADA](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/flamingo-cay-ada-pj-vj~7427170) - Location: Bradenton, FL - Photos: 35 - [Contemporary Asian Flare Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/contemporary-asian-flare-home-pj-vj~6892572) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 28 - [Western Town Man Cave](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/western-town-man-cave-pj-vj~6893335) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 9 - [Rock and Roll Theater - Junior Syphony Show Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/rock-and-roll-theater-junior-syphony-show-home-pj-vj~6893264) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 22 - [Chic Coastal Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/chic-coastal-home-pj-vj~6892569) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 7 - [Modern Sophistications Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/modern-sophistications-home-pj-vj~6918563) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 23 - [A Designers Touch Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/a-designers-touch-home-pj-vj~6920287) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 26 - [Tuscan Villa Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/tuscan-villa-home-pj-vj~6918581) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 39 - [Rustic Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/rustic-home-pj-vj~6892666) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 48 - [Colorado Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/colorado-home-pj-vj~6920257) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 35 - [Tuscan Estate](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/tuscan-estate-pj-vj~6920272) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 26 - [Tuscan Chef Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/tuscan-chef-kitchen-pj-vj~6892645) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 21 - [Estate Patio](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/estate-patio-pj-vj~6920262) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 18 - [Stunning Custom Reserve House](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/stunning-custom-reserve-house-pj-vj~6920319) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 32 - [Colorado Modern](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/colorado-modern-pj-vj~6892629) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 38 [See all 40 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/home-builders/encore-design-build-pfvwus-pf~281367103) ## Ideabooks - [Goltz Residence](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/165785963/list/goltz-residence) — 31 ideas [See all 1 ideabook](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/users/encoredesignbuild) --- *Source: Houzz professional profile.
