“We absolutely loved working with Dostie Homes to build our dream home. From the stunning design by Sam Claussen to the incredible quality of the construction and the genuine care they took with every detail, it exceeded all our expectations. Rob and Robbie were fantastic project managers, always responsive and attentive to our concerns, and we were so impressed with the entire team – Rick and Chris Dostie run a business with a level of integrity we truly appreciated. We wouldn't consider building anywhere else now; we’ll definitely be buying a Dostie home again.”

“We’re absolutely thrilled with our Dostie Home! Kenny Giacco and the whole team have been fantastic – they truly feel like family. Kenny has consistently been so responsive, always answering calls and texts and readily available to address any questions we had. We’ve also really appreciated working with Todd, our builder, who’s been incredibly quick and helpful. Overall, we couldn’t be happier with our new home in the Marshes at Madeira, Saint Augustine.”

I’m incredibly disappointed with the experience we’ve had with Dostie. We chose them to build our family’s new home, and it’s been a truly frustrating process. From the start, they significantly underestimated the build time, taking almost two years instead of the promised nine to ten months. Things started going wrong immediately – they postponed our closing at the last minute because the gas line hadn’t been connected, and then we’ve been dealing with a long list of unresolved issues. Despite numerous calls, Dostie just keeps passing us off to the contractor, and they rarely show up to address the problems. We’re still waiting for them to fix bedroom and bathroom doors that don’t close properly, and materials they sent to repair shelves have been sitting in our garage for months. To add to the issues, our backyard floods during heavy rain, and they’re refusing to address it because we didn't bring it up before closing. It’s shocking to see how things have changed since their older, positive reviews – it’s clear Dostie needs to step up and deliver on their promises.

Dostie Builders truly stood out to us. In a construction landscape that often feels impersonal, they offered a genuinely caring and reliable experience. From the very beginning, their team treated us like valued members of their family, ensuring everything ran smoothly and exceeding our expectations with the quality of the house and their commitment to customer service. We wholeheartedly recommend Dostie Builders and wouldn’t hesitate to use their services again.

“Unfortunately, we had to cancel our plans with Dostie Homes. Rising interest rates and their lengthy building process made it impossible for us to move forward. We requested some flexibility with the initial deposit, but they were completely inflexible and essentially told us to make better financial choices. Ultimately, we ended up going with DR Horton. While Dostie claims to excel in customer service, we found other builders to be significantly faster, deliver higher quality work, and were much more approachable. It seems some smaller companies can prioritize profit over a positive customer experience.”

“I just wanted to say how thrilled I am with the work Dostie Homes and Sam Schneider did on my new home in Nocatee. The finished product is absolutely stunning, and my family and I are absolutely loving our beautiful new home. Sam was fantastic – a truly great salesman and a genuinely friendly and helpful person to work with.”
-
“I absolutely loved working with Dostie to build my custom home. They really went above and beyond, tailoring the floorplan to my exact needs and desires – it far exceeded my expectations. I’d definitely choose them again if I ever needed to make any changes to my home in the future.”

We’re incredibly disappointed with our experience building with Dostie Construction. After five months, we’ve only managed to complete the initial Zoom meetings and design discussions – absolutely no foundation work or structural elements have been put in place. We were originally told it would take nine to twelve months, and it’s clear that timeline is significantly off track. Unfortunately, our experience has been compounded by a lack of responsiveness and support from our point of contact, Laura Snure. We lost a $5,000 cancellation fee, and despite requesting a partial refund, she informed us that the owner, Mr. Dostie, was unwilling to reconsider. Her dismissive response, suggesting we’re simply frustrated by a "bad business decision," was frankly unacceptable. We’d also like to note that our experience was largely positive, thanks to the superb work of the design coordinator. However, due to significant delays and a difficult working relationship with Laura Snure, we strongly advise potential clients to expect a potentially lengthy build – possibly a year and a half – when working with Dostie Construction.

“We were so thrilled with our new home built by Dostie Homes – it’s truly stunning! Honestly, the whole building process was a little daunting at first, but Dostie Homes made it so much easier. They were incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and always kept us informed with complete honesty.”
-
Sam was fantastic to work with – genuinely professional, incredibly patient, and always super responsive to our questions. We really appreciated his support, and while we didn’t move forward with a purchase just yet, we’ll definitely be reaching out to Sam when we’re ready to start looking again.
