**★★★★★ — Gary Moran, July 2021**

> We chose Nautilus Homes to build our new lakefront home in Winter Springs, Fl. in 2019.  I recommend Rick Jennings highly.  He is experienced, knowledgeable and fair.  We went through 2 other builders and Rick was recommended by our architect.  He saved the day!  Our house is expertly constructed using the most up-to-date materials in a cost-effective way.  Rick was able to anticipate areas of concern for future problems and take the necessary steps to avoid them.  Change orders were conducted fairly and efficiently.  We were able to make the selections of hardware, finishes, flooring, etc. that we wanted from the open market rather than being limited to a small selection.
> Rick is an easy guy to work with and is generous with his time.  He returns calls promptly.  He is an advocate for the homeowners, not the subcontractors and he doggedly works through the punch list.  We moved here from South Florida and were still living there throughout most of the build.  I could always count on Rick to keep me updated on the progress.  We are very glad we chose Nautilus Homes

**★★★★★ — Myrna Canin, March 2021**

> Rick Jennings of Nautilus Homes was the contractor on 2 new homes that he built for us starting in 2019.  Rick was professional in all his dealings with us and always went the extra mile to resolve issues and come to a mutually amicable outcome.   We recommend Nautilus Homes for new construction and for significant renovations.

**★★★★ — J Schulte, Aug. 2019**

> Rick Jennings of Nautilus Homes did a very good job with my renovation.  He worked well with my architect.  His price was reasonable.  Whenever there was a change order or an adjustment, he communicated well and he was fair.  He also looked for opportunities to add value to the project.  I also thought that most of his subcontractors were very good at their craft.

**★★★★ — Linda Lay, July 2019**

> We had a major renovation completed in our home by Rick Jennings of Nautilus Homes and happy to recommend him and his company..   Kitchen demolition with all new design Master Bathroom demolition with new design.  Both of these projects included taking down drywall to the studs. Pulled up all of the old tile and carpet and replaced with new wood look tile,  New lighting throughout.  Front Door Replacement.

**★★★★★ — Tasos Paindiris, Feb. 2019**

> I give the highest ratings to Nautilus Homes.  I have recommended them to others and I would use them again for a future project.  The people are great, the quality of the work was great and you feel confident that everything is being handled properly.  There were no surprises because everything was communicated and they always responded promptly to any questions.

**★★★★★ — Larry Adkins, Feb. 2019**

> Rick Jennings is very honest and does excellent work! Does his work on time. There are no surprises. Has a great reputation.

**★ — Heather Bonds, Jan. 2018**

> He came to my house in early November to for post-hurricane renovations and additions to my house.  He said he'd get back to me in a week with a quote and plans- I didn't hear from him and after several e-mails he responded to give him a few days.  Again didn't hear from him- and I so I emailed again and again- He responded to give him yet a few more days.  It's been over two months and I never saw a quote or any drawings.  I feel because our project is smaller than what he described his typical project to be, that he didn't feel I was worthy of his work and pushed me aside.

  - Description: This whole house remodel of 1950's ranch had unique challenges. It is our 2019 Parade of Homes Remodeling entry.

A complete kitchen renovation gave the home an open, yet traditional feel, while preserving the formal living & dining rooms. A master suite addition in the rear gives the Owners all the conveniences o…

## Community Q&A

A: This was a Sherwin Williams light Gray color. Can't tell you what it was but the cabinets were chalk white versus pure white. Makes a big difference in the finished product
