CUSTOMER TESTIMONIALS

We have had the pleasure of working with Gulfwind Homes for over 10 years. Throughout that time, the Gulfwind team has consistently demonstrated a high level of experience, professionalism, and attention to detail across all phases of design and construction.

Their ability to efficiently deliver high-quality custom homes on schedule and within budget has been especially impressive. Gulfwind Homes maintains a strong commitment to craftsmanship, coordination, and client satisfaction, making them an excellent choice for anyone seeking a well-executed new construction home.

– Rich Badders – President – Shorelines Design Group

I have had the pleasure of working with Gulfwind Homes since 2012. My perspective of their operations is different from most, as a lender on their projects. I consistently see efficient progress of every home, completion on time and on budget. Combining these traits speak volumes given the complexity of the construction process of such high quality homes.” – Scott Alvarez US Bank

“Catie and Luis: Zack and I are reaching out to recognize the excellent customer service that you and your team have provided. You have consistently exhibited professionalism, communication, and attention to detail regarding any and all questions, concerns, and warranty requests.

– Alissa-Rae and Zack Leibowitz

I started looking for a new home the end of 2024 and that’s when I came across Gulfwind Homes. I loved the location of the Townhomes in Seminole along with the different layouts to choose from. I sent an email requesting more information and Elizabeth Kraus responded quickly and arranged a time that worked with my schedule to sit down with her to go over everything and view the model homes. The floor plan I wanted was under construction and not available until March so I had plenty of time, she was so wonderful in everything from the mortgage loan officer which was Scott Alvarez from US Bank and I must say was absolutely amazing, to a list of people to contact for everything from internet, to HOA, garbage etc. Elizabeth made this entire process so much easier.

My first walkthrough was with Catie Lawrence and Luis Bonilla the VP of construction and both of them were equally amazing to work with and continue working with just for minor things like my warranties. They have both been so wonderful and helpful with so many different things. Gulfwind has the most amazing people that they have working for them. The second walk through was with Luis only but was just as productive as the first one. We only had a few minor things left on the punch list but was scheduled to be taken care of. Luis and Catie gave a book I call my bible because it has everything that you could possibly need and who to contact for everything. It has made registering the warranty items and everything else that I needed to do so much easier. If I ever have a question they always are willing to help.

The townhomes are still under construction here and I’ve now been here a month and I have to mention the amazing work the guys do on site here. They put in long hours and work so hard, at the end of the day they go around and clean up the area and are all so nice and respectful. This community is so awesome.

I’ve met several people in the neighborhood and everyone is so friendly, welcoming and willing to help you out with anything. This has been the best experience I’ve ever had and I absolutely love living here.

I couldn’t thank Gulfwind enough for this beautiful place I call my home.

Wonderful experience with gulf wind builders especially Catie Lawrence. Since buying my home 3 months ago, this has been the best experience i have had with builders. They are always proactive, responsive and quick to resolve any issues. Catie is professional and always available, great to work with and highly recommend this builder.

My husband and I chose Gulfwind Homes after meeting with the owner, Michael Willenbacher. Michael has years of experience building coastal homes. We needed to build a completely new home after the hurricanes demolished our previous home. This new home would need to be to meet new wind and hurricane codes and need to be elevated. Michael is so genuine and made us feel confident to move forward with him.

A wonderful surprise was when we met with Michael we didn’t realize what a wonderful team of people Gulfwind Homes would have to work with us!

The whole team met with us for a kickoff meeting and helped us understand everything we needed in place before the start of construction.

Catie, Executive Vice President and Deanne, Director of Purchasing, were so helpful in the beginning helping us choose the interior products for our new home. They made sure we were getting beautiful, quality products that had solid warranties behind them. We have told Catie and Deanne we feel like family and they have made the process fun! Catie and Deanne will FaceTime us from the construction site to keep us excited about the process.

We also are working from Ohio so it is so nice to feel that we are being taken care of and have nothing to worry about.

As the construction process started we worked closely with Luis, Vice President of Construction, who is very conscientious about what is needed at the construction site. He sends pictures of what is happening each week and has held special meetings with Duke energy and engineers to make sure this house is perfect.

We are building a custom home on our own lot in our neighborhood that was hit very hard with the hurricanes. We have watched as other neighbors have started building and the construction sites have really been a mess. Our neighbors have sent us pictures raving about how clean our homesite is and how respectful Gulfwinds is of our neighborhood.

My husband and I would highly recommend building with Gulfwind Homes. The passion that they bring to building our home is so heartwarming. We are building a home and want it to be beautiful, unique and safe. This is exactly what we believe we are getting with Gulfwind Homes.

Being a food blogger, my kitchen is more than just a place to cook—it’s where my passion comes alive. From the get-go, Gulfwind Homes got that. Right from my first meeting with Liz to brainstorming designs with Andrea, I felt they were as excited about my dream kitchen as I was.

Working with Jimmy through the entire building process was a great experience.. It was clear he genuinely wanted our home to be everything we’d hoped for. Chad was a great addition to the staff and came in to make sure we were pleased with all the special touches. They always went the extra mile, making us sure we’d made the right choice with Gulfwind Homes. Now, every time I whip up something special on my dream range, I’m reminded of the care and personal touch Gulfwind Homes put into our kitchen. Big thanks to the whole team for making my vision come to life. Cheers to making Sunday Supper memories in our new home!
