Our house required a lot custom details and Stress Free worked with various vendors to make that happen. As the home owners, the construction process can be taxing, there were obstacles to deal with, but in the end, we love our home. It has been 2 years since we moved in to our house and we wake up every day enjoying the sunrise over the lake. **★★★★★ — Andrea Cianek, July 2020** > Purchased a home from Stress free great experience love our home. A lot of small details big box builders don’t think of are included in our home-peloton/gym off master, stand alone garden tub, laundry upstairs, crown and granite throughout home. Once we closed we had a few items on our punch list and the owner was very responsive and resolved all of our issues. All of his subs are very professional and show up on time. Thanks Dave and Fred! **★★★★★ — Carmen Ruiz, April 2020** > Stress Free Construction did a wonderful job renovating my retail building on S. Dale Mabry in Tampa. Buck and Chris came up with a beautiful design both inside and outside. The building looks modern and completely different than before the renovations. I was kept current on every step of the renovation process through their software. I was thrilled that any change, fixture, or paint color had to be approved in writing by me through the online portal. I had access to the budget, actual money spent, and the schedule of all activity. As a woman, I especially loved their communication and attention to detail. I would highly recommend Stress Free Construction. **★★★★★ — Marshall Ollia, Dec. 2017** > The Stress Free team has been great to work with. We purchased a brand-new home earlier this year (we did not design or build it). The construction is solid and nearly as important the team has been great to work with. We found the employees to be responsive when we have had questions or concerns. In a time of many fly-by-night builders, this company appears solid and reliable. **★★★★★ — Erika McDermott, Dec. 2017** > We recently moved back to the Tampa Bay Area and were so happy to find Stressfree Construction. They made it possible for us to live in our dream home. They have been so easy to work with. The house is amazing and when we have had anything that needs attention, they have been prompt, professional and more than willing to accommodate us. We defeinitely recommend Stressfree to build your new home! **★★★★★ — Tia Kelbaugh, Dec. 2017** > Awesome house and very professional company!! I wasn’t in on the building process however I was very impressed with the quality of my new home. What a gem! **★★★★★ — Arie Anahory, Dec. 2017** > I bought a house from Stress Free Construction LLC last year. From the first inspection to months after the purchase Stress Free Construction has been more than happy to answer any questions and take care of any unresolved issues. I strongly suggest this company for anyone looking to buy a house or build a house. I have nothing but positive things to say about this company, their building quality and their amazing customer service, **★★★★★ — dsfadjusting, Dec. 2017** > My wife and I, after several years of hard work and saving our pennies, were finally ready to become first time home owners. We’d heard plenty of nightmare stories about first homes, roofs that needed replacing in under two years, hidden issues with mold. A friend mentioned that it might be better to build a home. I spent some years working in construction, so I reached out to a few friends in the business about builders they would recommend. One name came up too many times to ignore, Stress Free Construction. I have to say, never in my 40 years as a consumer have I received such attentive personalized care. As you can imagine, when building a home there are times that can seem stressful or nerve wracking. Not so when you deal with Stress Free Construction! Buck and Chris were always just a phone call away, or a quick pop into their office for some face to face time, to ease our minds about the smallest details. We were updated on progress regularly and in depth and given timeline adjustments weekly. At the end of the project we actually ended up ahead of schedule and with enough money left over in the budget for a full fence for the back yard! I truly can’t say enough kind things about this company. In a dog eat dog world, it’s refreshing to have a company stand proudly by their work and bring so much care and attention to detail to their product. **★★★★★ — RemoTech, Dec. 2017** > One of the best contractors I have ever worked for. Very respectful and reasonable. They look out for their subs and have the highest standards of quality that I have seen. **★★★★★ — gregd25, Dec. 2017** > As the Florida Manager for Vertechs Elevator I want to say how proud we are to be a part of this home. > Stress Free Construction is one of the best builders we work with their attention to detail and ensuring that the home is built exactly to our drawings is paramount in the elevator function as well as the aesthetics for the homeowner. > > Again, thanks to everyone at Stress Free Construction, especially Dave in the field. We appreciate you guys allowing us to be a part of such a beautiful home! Look forward to working together again in the future. > > Greg DeSoto **★★★★★ — Dina Gehringer, Dec. 2017** > My company hired Stress Free Construction to build several homes in Tampa over the past three years. They have ranged from rental homes in the $200,000 range to waterfront homes on Davis Island that cost close to $2,000,000. They performed above my expectation at each price point and the quality of finishes matched or exceeded my expectations. > I have found Chris Mercer and his team to be very easy to work with. They are an honest, smart, hard working group that communicates effectively and in a timely manner. This is not easy to find in construction. I recommend them heartily as someone with over 30 years of experience in the Tampa real estate market. **★★★★★ — Grant Krejci, May 2017** > Responds very quick to email. Keeps emails informative and answers the questions you ask in detail. Make sure if he can't answer you will get you to someone that can help. ## Selected projects - [Beautiful Custom Home in Tampa](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/beautiful-custom-home-in-tampa-pj-vj~2365511) - Location: Tampa, FL - Photos: 63 - [Suwanee Custom Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/suwanee-custom-home-pj-vj~2341536) - Location: Tampa, FL - Photos: 14 - [Shady Oaks](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/shady-oaks-pj-vj~2015546) - Location: Tampa, FL - Photos: 33 - [Tampa Custom Home Design](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/tampa-custom-home-design-pj-vj~2341537) - Location: Tampa, FL - Photos: 8 - [Baltic Circle, Davis Islands](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/baltic-circle-davis-islands-pj-vj~2709588) - Location: Tampa, FL - Photos: 25 - [Contemporary Tampa Custom Home Build](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/contemporary-tampa-custom-home-build-pj-vj~2561288) - Location: Tampa, FL - Photos: 25 - [Geneva Place, Davis Islands](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/geneva-place-davis-islands-pj-vj~2709597) - Location: Tampa, FL - Photos: 25 - [El Prado Blvd, South Tampa](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/el-prado-blvd-south-tampa-pj-vj~2709610) - Location: Tampa, FL - Photos: 41 - [Hartnett](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/hartnett-pj-vj~2015555) - Location: Tampa, FL - Photos: 28 - [Broad Street](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/broad-street-pj-vj~2479672) - Location: Tampa, FL - Photos: 14 - [3503 W Azeele Street Tampa, FL 33609](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/3503-w-azeele-street-tampa-fl-33609-pj-vj~6550758) - Location: Tampa, FL - Photos: 5 - [Davis Island Custom Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/davis-island-custom-home-pj-vj~6546724) - Location: Tampa, FL - Photos: 18 - [4806 W San Rafael Street](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/4806-w-san-rafael-street-pj-vj~6472941) - Location: Tampa, FL - Photos: 11 - [481 Severn Ave](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/481-severn-ave-pj-vj~6343697) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 53 - [607 Columbia Dr Tampa FL on Davis Island](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/607-columbia-dr-tampa-fl-on-davis-island-pj-vj~6142128) - Location: Tampa, FL - Photos: 72 - [W Morrison Ave Tampa, FL 33629](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/w-morrison-ave-tampa-fl-33629-pj-vj~6134268) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 85 [See all 16 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/general-contractors/stress-free-construction-llc-pfvwus-pf~471720149) ## Ideabooks - [buck5961's ideas](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/60146837/list/buck5961-s-ideas) — 2 ideas [See all 1 ideabook](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/users/buck5961) ## Community Q&A **Q: Hardware color?** *(in Photo Questions)* What color hardware is on this kitchen, and where are they from?
