I am a drywall contractor and have worked for many contractors over the last ten years or so. Brista Homes is by far the most quality conscious and organized contractor that I have ever worked with. The project managers are very professional and attentive to details on all jobs. Mark and his team will not accept anything less than perfect craftsmanship from all of their subs!

I have worked with Brista Homes many times over the last 6 years. They are a well managed, knowledgeable team of professionals and have great network of suppliers and tradesmen. Each project was completed with quality and at reasonable prices. I am familiar with many other projects completed for others

Brista Homes is a great company that goes above and beyond for their customers. They are willing to do whatever is needed to ensure their customers satisfaction, and it shows in their quality and customer satisfaction. I have had the privilege to work with them on several projects now, and I wish I had ten companies to work with equal to them. If you're considering a new home or remodel, do yourself a favor and call them; you won't be disappointed.

Mark and his team are true professionals. They work closely with Architects and their clients to provide a seamless transition from design to construction. They are easy to work with and Honest. I've enjoyed working with them both as a client and as a professional. I would highly recommend them for any design/construction project you might have.

The whole Brista experience is unparalleled by any other contractor I have ever worked for... I have been in business myself for over 20 years and in this line of work for over 30 and know quality when I see it. We have had the pleasure of working with Brista on a dozen high end projects and have seen nothing but the highest commitment to giving the client more than they expect! My company is extremely proud of the previous projects we have helped Brista with and look forward to all future project with them!

We recently finished a complete remodel with Brista Homes and couldn’t be happier! This is the third remodel we have done and was by far the best experience we’ve had. The entire team at Brista is amazing: professional, thorough and responsive throughout the process. We were out of town for most of the work but they were in constant communication to make it easy. We had some very tight time restraints as well and they finished on time while being conscious of our budget. The end result is better than we could have possibly imagined. We highly recommend Brista Homes!

A good friend recommended Mark Ursini of Brista Homes to help us with some renovation work. In October of 2016 Brista repainted the entire interior, replaced all the flooring with tile and carpet and renovated a hall / pantry area. We have previously built two new homes and renovated a 100 year old home with other contractors and working with Mark was by far the best experience we ever had, he and Brista absolutely get a five star review based on their quality of work, schedule performance while staying right on budget. Mark is a great guy to work with and I highly recommend him and Brista to help with any construction project you may be considering.

We had a wonderful experience with Brista Homes. I can't speak highly enough of everyone. We filled in a large porch upstairs and it was quite a project. AC units had to be moved, hallways created, stairs redone, etc. We also had drain issues in our back. Pavers were lifted, drains were rerouted and replaced, etc. It turned out better than we imagined, was done in a timely manner and because it was full service, I didn't have to run around town. We wouldn't think twice about who to use when we need a contractor again.

Brista Homes completed a kitchen renovation and facelift of our dated condo. They put in new wood floors, doors, trim, painted, and made the unit look new again. The owner is involved and truly cares about his projects. He has a committed staff and trades that take pride in their work. You can count on them to do a great job!

Brista Homes did a phenomenal job building our new house. They have an excellent relationship with their subcontractors, so everything was completed in a timely fashion despite the difficulties of Florida weather and city inspectors. Their project manager stressed to subcontractors the importance of getting their respective tasks done, so others could proceed. Their purchasing expert found alternative suppliers of building materials that, as a result, saved us thousands of dollars, particularly on our porches. They recommended a number of improvements to our original plans, which made our house even more amazing. We were slightly over budget, but that was largely due to the fact that so much of our total square footage consisted of non HVAC areas such as porches and a wider garage. Overall, my wife and I would recommend Brista Homes in a heartbeat.

Thank you for the kind words. It was a pleasure working with you both. As you were our first remodel in the Islander Club, which led to many others, it was a truly memorable project.

Brista remodeled our master bathroom. They helped us with the design with great ideas. They came in on budget and on time with a wonderful final result. All the workmen were gentlemen and cleaned up after themselves. The Brista office staff provided us with great ideas when it came to fixtures, tile etc. We highly recommend Brista Homes.

I just had a fantastic experience with Brista Homes. They are highly professional and very talented! Great management! Great work ethic. Good people! My place looks fantastic! They are different from most because they are a professional group of people; not just one contractor who works on your place every so often. They have a full team in place to meet your needs. I highly recommend Brista Homes!

Commented: What is the manufacturer and style of the tile backsplash?Unfortunately, I do not have the name. This was purchased several years ago from Floor & Decor. I was in the store recently, and if I recall, I saw something very similar.

Commented: wood cabinets finish?Unfortunately, this was a remodel from 2013 so we no longer have that information. The cabinet company on this project has since gone out of business.

Commented: what countertop is this - material and colorThese are poured concrete countertops with fiber optics.
