Island Dream Homes, Inc.

Outstanding!!!!!

Hired Bret Jones and island dream home after hurricane Ian flooded my house. Wanted weekly draws of 10k but wouldnâ t give me a real contract just some scribbles on an estimate sheet that was unintelligible. Got 70% of work done had paid all but 3k and told him I would give him the rest when job is complete. Was yelled at and threatened and the hung up on twice. He is a scam artist and this is his mo. Beware and shame on you Angies list for listing this corrupt company

Replaced wood on florida room, new tile to same room. Redisigned stairway. Painted interior of Florida room. Stained new railing and posts. Some plastering done also. Everyone worked well together and aimed to please .

It was great! And the results were amazing! I highly recommend Island Dream Homes!

Review Island Dream Homes (Bret Jones and Micki Mansfield) July 24th, 2024 We hired Bret Jones of Island Dream Homes for a garage addition project that was estimated to take 2-3 months on May 9th, 2023. We are now on day 442 with no end in sight. The project was supposed to include a Haas 360 Garage Door and a Nova 90 Entry door, both of which have not been paid for or installed despite us paying over 90% of the contracted amount. They want us to pay for these doors, though they are written into the contract. We also were asked to pay the flooring subcontractor, though â polished concrete floorsâ are also written into the contract, and signed by Bret Jones. As of today, besides it being a shell with no doors, we also do not have basic amenities such as AC, power, a toilet, a sink, lights, fans, or finished interior or exterior paint. It has been two weeks since we last saw any workers on site. Bret Jones refuses to come to the house to discuss the project and has resorted to hanging up on us during our last phone call. Will Bret Jones be a â man of his wordâ and honor the contract, or will Island Dream Homes continue to breach their obligations? Only time will tell. We will update this review to reflect whether they ultimately fulfill their promises or not. Stay tuned for further updates, we will update with a new review, if Island Dream Homes upholds their end of the contract.

Easy to work with. Explains stuff to me well. Not condescending as some men are.

Micki kept me up to date every step of the way. She was always available to answer questions. The quality of work was impeccable and all of the workers were professional, clean and experts at their craft. I would highly recommend Island Dream Homes for any of your home renovation projects.

Craftsmanship was excellent.

The contractor always available by text, answered promptly Likeable workers and always cleaned up before leaving each day. Joel was excellent with problem solving.

I like them so much, I've used them twice and will use them again. I highly recommend them.

Expensive, and does not like to give anything but oral guesstimate. I just needed simple handrail on 3 mobile homestead and got a huge wooden railing put up instead. The guy who built it was good but railing dwarfs my steps. Cost almost $900 for two rails. Found in FL that the leads from Angie and others are super expensive and are businesses not handymen which is most people need.

Great to work with and happy with their work!

They are a family operation . They take care and pride in their work. They came out in person to meet me twice and explained what would be done thoroughly. Very fair price. Workmanship was awesome. I hope to have them remodel my bathroom one day.

Absolutely the worst company to hire to do any work. What was supposed to be a 2 to 3 month job went to 7 months. Once they have most of your money you will wait months before you see them again. Had to threaten to take them to court for them to respond. Owner Bret Jones doesnâ t have a problem contacting you when money is due, but if you call or text when you want them to come back to finish he never replies. Was quoted a price of between $18,000 and $22,000 to do the kitchen remodel depending on what they find behind the wall which had to be removed. There were no issues or load bearing found but still wanted to charge the $22,000. I asked why and he responded angrily and F bombed me on a phone call and how dare I question why he was charging me the most of the quote. In the end in order for us to have a kitchen again I had to do most of his work (plumbing, painting, installation of appliances and tile work) said that I still had to pay the balance of $700 because the job was done. I did not pay because of the work that wasnâ t done by him. What contractor wants most of the money up front before the work is completed. You live and learn. Do yourself a favor and Donâ t hire them!

Like others here, this scam contractor stole my $4,500 and provided about $150 worth of actual work, ie; sent a guy to paint some red paint on part of my deck to temporarily ?fix? my leak, which did nothing. I have no contract, no plans, sketches, permits, documents; the leak, roof and drywall repairs they agreed to do immediately were never performed, they simply took my money and ran and are now saying they aren?t a ?handyman? company. I have witnesses and have paid others to do the work I paid them to do. They are thieves and liars, and refused to respond for months, then when they do, Bret Jones is a bully and tries to threaten and scare people so he can keep their money. DO NOT HIRE THESE CROOKS!!!!!! Their reputation around the area rings true. I?ll be getting my money back and will do my best to make sure this doesn't happen to someone else. Angi needs to stop recommending this company.

Great experience

Home Owners Beware!!! I hired Island Dream Homes to remove water damaged drywall after my house was flooded by Hurricane Ian. I provided a $7,500 deposit, and I signed an agreement. I decided not to use his services for the repair of my house for various reasons, including my background and reference check. I sent a text notifying the Operation Manager that I will not be using there services, and I requested my deposit be returned minus the services provided. I received a very nasty and unprofessional reply from the owner Bret Jones which I did not expect. His reply confirmed my reference check. Mr. Jones stated they cut checks of Friday and he was going to deduct 5 hours for administrative services, 20% is allocated in the agreement. It has been well over a week and I have not received my deposit. I have filed a complaint with Office of the Attorney General, Office of Professional Licensing, and I have retained an attorney. This why you should complete a background and reference check on all contractors.

We wanted a double window added to our living area in our new-build CBS house. Other contractors wouldnâ t touch it. Brett and Micki understood what we wanted. Their price fit our budget. Their subs did excellent work. They placed the window so it fit with the existing double window, and it looks like it was built with the house. It took a bit longer than projected but subs are in short supply right now. The end product was worth the wait. We highly recommend Island Dream Homes.

Replaced a large Jacuzzi bathtub that has never been used with a walk-in shower & took out the existing shower. We picked out the tile and pebble shower floor at HD, and had the glass walls custom made. Micki was involved with the project the whole time. We are pleased with the job.

Quality of work was second to none.

In 2019 remodeled master bathroom. Love it. 2020 remodeled lanai. New tile, walls painted. New ceiling fan with light. New door with blinds enclosed. Replaced cracked driveway. Replaced French drain properly. Removed mulch and replaced with 26 bags of stone. All workers clean up after each day. All respectful of your property. Pay as you go.

I highly recommend Island dream homes to do all your renovations. They did an outstanding job on my renovation. Micki helped me design my kitchen and gave me so many options of what I could do. I really wanted an open floor and she made it happen! Bret Jones pays attention to details and keeps everyone moving in a timely fashion. When you have people renovating your house they are always there and its good to have trust worthy people Who you know will do a great job!! All the guys worked very well together too. Joel was awesome at electric, Kevin is a tile perfectionist, and Mike got things done! Thanks for the great Job, highly recommend!!!!:)

Bret and his crew finished our complete condo remodel to our satisfaction. Like any major remodel, there were some issues, however, the finished product looks great. They have stated several times if we have any issues please let them know, and they will correct them. We were satisfied with the work they performed.

As of 09.02.20, Bret has not responded to several requests for refunding most of my money. The money received was not spent on my home. There was damage to my property that he is denying though my neighbors witnessed the damage. He has put materials on my home that was not listed in the contract. Other companies do not want to work with them because of their lack of professionalism. We are currently in Arbitration then off to court if an agreement is not met. As of today, Do not waste your time or money. I will keep the world updated on this. Horrible customer service. Does not return calls promptly. You can call all three numbers, leave messages and the project manager still does not return the call for days and days. When they are ready for payment you hear from them, but when it is time to communicate with you, you do not feel like you are important.

Island Dream Homes did an outstanding job on our condo renovation in New Smyrna Beach FL. There were a million details, and they handled them well. I was impressed with everyone on their team, working on our condo. We live outside the area, and they managed the details on our behalf. These guys are Trustworthy. Craftsmen. And hit are pressing deadline for us.
