As an interior designer I really enjoy working with builders who go above and beyond for their clients! Through the years I have witnessed Steve build beautiful homes and go above and beyond for our shared clients! We have worked together on new construction projects and remodels with a variety for scopes. If my clients are happy, I am happy! Thank you Coastal Cypress!

Bar none the best builder in town! Actually shocked that there are any negative reviews on here. Makes me wonder more about the reviewers than Steve's commitment to his clients. He always went the extra mile for me and he will forever have my gratitude for that. He is good man as is all of his team.

Ive worked with Coastal Cypress on a customization to a spec build home. There was nothing too small on our punch list Steve and his crew wouldnt accommodate !! I appreciated their patience and also can- do attitude in reference to original ideas & design dilemmas.
