It is a pleasure to recommend Yoder Homes and Remodeling. We entrusted the remodeling of our 20-year old Sarasota condominium to Yoder Homes. From the moment we began working with them, their team guided us with expertise, experience and a professional standard that was unrivaled. We are especially grateful to Amy Yoder who helped us conceive our project, and to Anna Harper for her support along the way. The team, including an assigned project manager, was always available, informing us and communicating the progress throughout, dedicated from start to finish. The quality of the work was excellent

Yoder Homes remodeled my large master bath. Thanks to Covid & the supply chain slowdowns, it took much longer than expected. There were a few hiccups along the way, but what I LOVED about Yoder is that they never once said the words, "We can't" or "We won't" to me. Anything I wanted or needed, they found a way to do it -- even if they had never done it before!
Amy, who I worked closely with on choosing the materials & my design vision, was always positive, honest and patient. I am very picky & had my own ideas--she either did them, enhanced them or came up with better ones.

Yoder led our recent condo renovation and made the process enjoyable and completed it with great quality - I'd highly recommend them to anyone looking for a complex renovation project but don't want to worry about managing individual contractors.
