"I would highly recommend Magnolia Custom Homes as a builder in your latest development project.  The quality or workmanship on our recent build is outstanding and above our expectations.  Having gone through the process of building a custom home in the past, we had expectations that were required to be met.  Building a custom home is rife with pitfalls, issues and unintended situations.  Magnolia was able to guide us through these unexpected events, make recommendations and continue with the project unabated.  Having to build our custom home while still living in Texas at the time, I cannot impress upon you enough how important it was for our family to work with a builder with the ability to keep the project moving forward while at the same time offering recommendations, advice, and prompt communication for any situation that did occur or might occur during the build process.

As with any custom home build, the timeline is very important.  Magnolia was successful at quoting an appropriate timeline and, had it not been for changes we made, would have completed the project on time.  Even with the changes we made, they were executed in a timely manner and the project completed successfully.  There is a chain of events that occurs when homeowners make changes. Subcontractor scheduling, material acquisition are just a few, and the ability of Magnolia to navigate these situations was invaluable.

Magnolia was able to provide multiple options of vendors for various selections required.  All of the vendors we interacted with were exceptional and extremely helpful in guiding our selections based on our vision.  I would highly recommend any of them and have already.  It’s important to work with vendors that can translate your vision, make recommendations, and perform by doing what they say they are going to do.

All interactions with Magnolia Custom Homes beginning with the initial meeting, the proposal process, financial considerations, project management and supervision, to final close were concise, transparent, and went above and beyond our expectations.  I highly recommend Magnolia Custom homes as a builder, I think you will have the same results we have had with them.  I would also be glad to offer you an opportunity to visit our home and judge for yourselves."

"The entire Magnolia Custom Homes team continually exceeded my expectations throughout our building experience in 2022-2033. From the initial consultation through completion and warranty period, they've been responsive, professional, knowledgeable, and trustworthy in every interaction. Additionally, the construction quality and their subcontractor network have been top tier.

We collaborated together from walking the lot to determine where best to position the home, to working with my design architect and structural engineering firm, along with navigating expertly the county permitting process and inspections from beginning to end.

We completed the project in mid-2023 effectively on-time and on-budget. My wife and I couldn't be more satisfied with our new home and the overall building experience.

During our first year in the home, our Magnolia project manager was engaged and responsive to the minor warranty items that surfaced and resolved them in a timely and convenient manner for us. They proved to be a talented, honest and reliable team that stood by their commitments and delivered a high quality home that is truly the envy of our neighborhood."

"I am writing to highly recommend Magnolia Custom Homes (Magnolia) for any custom home construction project within your neighborhood. As a satisfied client of Magnolia, I have had the pleasure of working with them on 2 houses in the Gulf Pines neighborhood, and I can attest to their exceptional craftsmanship, professionalism, and commitment to excellence.

Magnolia demonstrated meticulous attention to detail throughout the entire process, from the initial design phase to the final finishing touches. Their team consistently prioritized open communication, ensuring that my preferences and vision were seamlessly integrated into the project while adhering to the neighborhood's architectural guidelines and standards. Magnolia managed our projects efficiently with strong attention to the timeline, budget, and constant communication.

In addition to their outstanding work, Magnolia exhibited a strong commitment to respecting the community and our neighbors. They maintained a clean and organized worksite, minimized disruptions, and adhered to all local regulations and codes. Their ability to balance efficiency and quality impressed not only me but also my neighbors, who appreciated their professionalism during construction. It is rare to find a builder who combines such high levels of skill, integrity, and consideration for both clients and the surrounding community."

“We’ve completed two homes in Santa Rosa Beach with Magnolia, and we’re excited to begin a third this year. The Benos are expert professionals who lead the construction process efficiently while simultaneously working alongside their clients in a collaborative effort.  Both Andrew and Andy demand high-quality standards from their team, and each home has exceeded our expectations. It’s a pleasure working with and knowing them. “

“I’ve never had a more impressive warm and wonderful experience than I enjoyed with Magnolia Custom Homes! I have lifetime friends with Andy, Beth and Andrew! I’ve renovated four homes and I never had the confidence with anyone else I’ve worked with. I always knew that Andy was going to take care of everything and his team was great too. Magnolia Custom Homes has a great team of people that will come when Andy calls! That is tremendous to us because we are not full-time residents. Would I ask Magnolia Custom Homes to help me with another renovation? Yes Yes Yes!”

- Sister Schubert Barnes

“Communication and Planning are two things that stand out in my endorsement of Magnolia Custom Homes. Andy spent time with us in order to layout a good plan before we started the construction of our home. From visiting existing homes that we liked, to meeting with our architect, the landscape company and suppliers of most everything we used in the house. Communication was also great, not once during construction did Andy or Andrew fail to return a call or text within the hour. Good communication and planning lead to our house being completed as scheduled and done right the first time.”

- Bryce Harvey

“My house was built by Magnolia Custom Homes and they did a great job. The Beno’s paid attention to the details, made recommendations that improved the end product, saved me money and got the job done on time.  Their subs showed up when they were supposed to, did quality work and were friendly.  We lived in the area and were able to visit the site often, with our dog in tow.  The crew answered questions, greeted us warmly and was nice to the dog.”
