My husband and I were part time residents in Merritt Island and were looking to upgrade from our current house. We looked at many houses, but they did not fit our needs. Someone said to us why don't you find a piece of property and build the house that you want. We were totally against this since we were part time residents and were uncomfortable depending on others while we were not there. We saw Charles Boyd's sign in many areas and decided to call him to see our options. Charlie was building many homes in the area, so we thought why not see what this entails, We loved the area and decided to look into it. My husband is very familiar with building and he was very impressed with the quality and workmanship of the Charles Boyd homes. We found a vacant piece of property and Charlie walked us through the steps of what we needed to be concerned with before purchasing the property. We purchased the property and Charlie helped us every step of the way. We met his superintendent Billy Forsyth and was very impressed with his knowledge and taking care of the job like it was his own. After meeting Charlie and Bill we felt very comfortable that while we were in New Jersey, Billy can run the job. Billy kept us updated every step of the way. Many people we spoke to who had a house built said it was so much pressure and you only build once. Charlie Boyd and his team made the experience very enjoyable and we are so happy with our new home. I do feel Charlie and Billy are the reason why!! Ray and Paula Lombard

We have been interested in building a house on the water for many years now. We have looked at property and each time we looked the realtors in the area would recommend Charlie Boyd Construction. We called Charlie and met with him to discuss our goals. He was very friendly and helpful. He offered helpful suggestions and was honest and straight forward. We are still in the process of looking for land to build to on. I have seen a few of his custom homes in Brevard county and they are all built beautifully and also good structural integrity. We have not actually hired Charlie yet but we have spoken to him a few times and he has been very helpful and honest. I think if we do get property on the water we wouldn't hesitate to hire his company and he comes highly recommended in this area. He has a lot of experience with building homes on the water (river/beachfront) and he has many years of experience in the field.

We have been waiting for 1 1/2 years for our punch list to be fixed correctly.Painters only put one coat of paint on inside of house and did not prime walls. Paint on doors continue to peel off. Tiles throughout the house are uneven and grout is not even. The slab on the front porch was stained and cracked from construction and paint. A one epoxy paint was applied and the problem was fixed. The slab on the back porch has never been right. Spots were poured too thin and cracks and holes developed. Many attempts were made to fix the problems and the "fixes" have only made things worse. The last attempt was to pour a bonding agent on the existing cement and apply a 1 epoxy paint. The cement bonding agent is uneven, cracked, and bubbling.Some parts are smooth while other parts have deep brush marks in them. The paint is peeling,there are new holes in the cement, and the bonding agent was slung onto the screens, walls, and columns. A caulk was applied under the doors for some unknown reason.We are out of pocket for all of the 1 epoxy paint that was used on the front and back porch for problems that arose during construction. Excuses have been made about sub par workers and workers who do not know what they were doing. The subs who worked on the house a year and a half ago are not the same subs that are being used to fix the problem. I have been patiently waiting for the problem to be fixed and have gotten the run around and unacceptable "repairs". In my opinion, it seems that once the final payment was made, I was brushed aside and treated unfairly.
