Palm Builders Gulfcoast Inc

We moved here from Arizona and bought a house on the water that needed a “LOT” of help. After meeting with several contractors we decided on Tim with Palm Builders, we felt he was the most professional and knowledgeable. In hindsight I’d have to say that was one of the best decisions we have ever made. Not only did he do a great job overall, he gave us ideas and insight on the project that we would have never thought of. Thanks to Tim we now are the proud owners of a stunning, what I like to call, work of art! Highly recommend!

The project went well. It was on time with workers present most days. Great scheduling with sub contractors and good communication. The finished renovation looks great!

The project encountered a couple of unanticipated challenges which required Palm Builders to do more than was originally contracted for. They dealt with the additional work in a professional manner and the finished project was excellent.

Tim and his crew are responsible, very professional and we will hire them again without hesitations. The job was done in a timely manner and the final product is exactly what we envision.

Tim, the owner of the business was phenomenal. He personally oversaw every aspect of the project and his team was amazing and hardworking. The results of the project not only surpassed my expectations, but was also completed on time and on budget. I definitely will use him for future projects and have recommended him to numerous friends and neighbors. He has my highest recommendation.

We've been renovating houses for over 20 years. So we've worked with lots of contractors and hired many trades people. Palm Builders owner Tim is by far the best contractor we've ever worked with and we make this recommendation based on many of his attributes. Besides being a skilled craftsman with a designer eye Tim communicated throughout the entire project. If he was going to be even 15 mins late Tim would notify us!! His pricing was fair and Tim would advise ways to save money during the construction. Tim was a pleasure to with work and I will highly recommend him to others! I'm also scheduling future projects with Palm Builders.

Tim and his son showed up on time and did a quick and highly professional job on both tasks. The price they charged was very fair. I would definitely use them again.

It went very well! We had some issues unrelated to his work, which caused delays, but that can be expected on any project. His prices are very competitive and the quality is there. I am very pleased how everything turned out.

From start to finish Tim worked with us through every step of the process to give us a room addition we are happy with. Will recommend Palm Builders to others.

Good, Tim was always on time and got the job done!

Tim and his team did a wonderful job for us. Anytime we needed to make changes, Palm Builders as a whole was responsive, and helped us make smart decisions. If you are looking for a contractor and you want someone that treats your project with integrity...call Tim.

Palm Builders did a great job of removing two walls that boxed in our kitchen that really opened up our home. Tim was not the only person we talked with to do this project, but he was the only one who seemed to have a common-sense, cost-effective approach. Tim was good at getting right back with us with quotes, good communication, and fit our project in his schedule roughly about the time estimated. They arrived on time, they really worked fast, and when challenges arose he had solutions. When an issue arose, Tim was reasonable at working things out. Tim and his subs really tried to work clean, and were polite and professional. We heard the stories of doing projects like this turning into a problem, but Tim made sure that did not happen by being responsive, professional, and competent.

We had THE BEST experience working with Tim Schoenberger of Palm builders. Let me tell you, our project was no easy undertaking. In fact we went through two other contractors (the first a neighbor recommended and 2nd was a friend who finished up a few things) before discovering Tim. Because we had let go our first contractor a few months into our renovation (due to lack of communication and other issues), most companies I called did not want to touch our project. Tim had his hands full the first time he came to visit our new home. The ceiling was gaping open, walls were down and the kitchen demolished. But he worked diligently on a quote and did not let this massive project deter him. A lot of work done by our first two contractors had to be redone, from electrical to tiling. It was frustrating and upsetting but he helped us get it done correctly and safely. After going over our budget and presenting us a reasonable quote compared to others we had received, he began working on our permit. We are in a FEMA flood zone in shore acres so the city did not make it easy to get an approval to move forward. There was nothing that Tim was not involved in. From moving our kitchen across the house to new floors, walls, a master bedroom en suite addition, exterior roofing, paint, windows/doors, Tim was there for it all. He permitted everything, hired the correct sub contractors with years of experience and did everything to code. A very different experience than our first contractor. He answered all of our phone calls and texts/emails promptly never leaving me to guess when he would return or what was coming next. I loved this level of communication! And he stayed right on budget. Any extras were things we requested outside the original quote so there were no surprise bills at the end. Even some things we did on our end, such as choose and pay an AC company for a new unit, he took it out of his bid. He always told us if we found a better sub contractor on something we could use them instead. We found his prices to be competitive and fair and his work to be superb. I’ve been waiting for the day we would write this review because I know how hard it is to find a trustworthy, honest, hard working and caring contractor that does not take advantage of you. It took us 16 months to complete our home renovation because of all the problems we had with our previous contractors and city permits but I know if we had found Tim from day one we would have been enjoying our new home much sooner. We plan to hire him again in the future to do a living room addition and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone who is looking for an incredible contractor. He brings in the right people for the job, does the work correctly the first time and isn’t afraid to get his hands dirty. Plus he is often on site monitoring the job and is an amazing communicator. We would talk several times throughout the week and many times when I would drop by the house randomly he was here or had just come by. Stop reading these reviews and hire Tim it you’re foruntate enough to get him before he’s booked up!

We could not be happier. We are both so pleased with the work that Tim and his crew did for us. Change orders were not a problem and he did exactly what we requested. His crew arrived on time when they said they would and the project was completed within the time expected. We have used Tim, Palm Builders Gulfcoast, Inc. for previous projects and would not only recommend him but would certainly use him in the future if we ever wanted to renovated again as he has always been professional.

It took me 4 years to find the right contractor. I am glad I found Palm Builders. I added an upstairs, gameroom and master suite, they were completely in tune with details and the finished products are outstanding. I lived in the downstairs portion of the house while the renovations were being done. Also, I work from my home, they were sensitive to my schedule and STILL completed each renovation before completion date. They also completed within budget. NO SURPRISES at all. They were here every morning on time, cleaned up each evening before going home. NOT ONE PHONE CALL from me wondering where they were and if they were going to make it to work that day. Their attention to detail was impeccable. I will use them every single time. My home is beautiful, new upstairs, complete façade change and a gorgeous home. I recommend them highly.

We simply could not say enough positive remarks about the quality of craftsmanship and ability to translate our design aesthetic in a way that far exceeded our expectations. Tim was able to convey the manner in which we should approach the removal of an existing load bearing wall and installation of a new beam in a way that completely transformed our new home. He continued with expert advice on the transformation of our fireplace. Thanks to Tim, we could not be more proud to share our beautiful new home with family and friends. Before and after pictures are shown below to demonstrate the quality work you can expect from his team.

Tim, owner of Palm Builders Gulfcoast is a solid and trustworthy man. Hard working and conscientious. His workers and subs are all polite, hardworking guys. We would definitely use Tim again. Job came in efficiently at 3 months start to finish. On time, and on budget. Draw schedule, Line items and total budget had no variance. Change orders were handled fairly. This is a very good General Contractor.

Responded one time and asked me to let him know if I still wanted to meet to get the est, I sent him2 messages from angies list and he never responded back. So I have called other companies. To give me an est

The work was performed exceptionally well and on time. Very pleased with the completed project. I will recommend Palm Builders to everyone I know that needs construction services.

On time, on budget and great work! The three most important things when hiring a GC. Tim and Dave of Palm Builders were great in my home renovation and I highly recommend them. I was nervous in my search for a GC as I have heard horror stories but these guys quickly alleviated all my fears. They take pride in their work and it shows. I will be calling them again soon for my next project. Highly recommend!!!

Things could not have gone better. We went to and stayed at our condo in Tennessee for the entire project which lasted 3 1/2 months. We would highly recommend this approach if possible. If one is a super duper control freak, an extensive renovation will eat you alive if you stay in the house or nearby and feel the need to "supervise." Tim would send us photos of the progression on a regular basis. Even though we were 687 miles away, Tim and his Project Manager, Dave Austin would keep us in the loop at all times. We started with a vision and then Tim put it into a workable plan. He provided us with an estimate and draw schedule for payments. We provided Tim with a Materials List ( our selection of tile, fixtures, etc) and he procured the necessary items. In the estimate, there were budget items. We were generally right on the button. Some items were over and some were under. There were no major differences and any time an overage was encountered, Tim would contact us right away to explain and to then get our approval to proceed. There was one Change Order and this one was generated by us as we added new construction features. There were two other major contractors involved, but Palm Builders was the primary driver of the project. As a matter of fact, Tim recommended McCabinet for the kitchen and bathroom. Tricia Guy was our design consultant and McCabinet was fabulous as well. But again, they worked through Tim. Also, we had Jerry Bell of Bell's Hardwood install the flooring in the new kitchen and newly created room, Jerry had done previous work for us. In preparation for the work, we got rid of some furniture and then stored the rest in three rooms not receiving any construction. We also utilized our garage. Just resign your self to the fact that dust, etc. will invade any and every crevice. If one is a "neat freak", prepare oneself. We now have a beautiful new home and could not be happier with Palm Builders.

It went as good as expected, no entire house remodel goes without issues such as finding we had aluminum wiring that we had to change. Do we have a punch list yes, but even on new construction you have a punch list to go through. I would definitely hire Palm Builders again.

Everything wen very well considering the scope of the job. Some surprises arose during the process but Tim was very good about troubleshooting and coming up with practical and cost effective solutions for them. He was always available by phone and on site frequently. Subs were good and performed high quality work.

I was going to be in town for a few days for the sole purpose of getting quotes from contractors(I had to fly down, as I live in another state). I called the week prior to set up an appointment. The appointment was scheduled for April 17th at 8:30am. When nobody had shown up by 9am, I called the office to see what the deal was. The lady at the front desk called her boss to see where he was and they figured out that I wasn't even on their schedule. She asked if I had called the right contractor. I said I had, that I had spoken with her specifically the week before. I told her my story and she instantly remembered who I was. She then called her boss again and said that he could come out the next day, April 18th. She said he would be there between 3-3:30pm. On April 18th, I was out and about trying to find tile/fixtures/etc for the renovation and rushed home to meet him at 3pm. He was a no call/no show, AGAIN. Very unprofessional. I wouldn't recommend.

Never contacted me back to discuss the project further, I guess they weren't interested. I can understand if a contractor is not able to take on new work, but at least tell us.
