Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars
My husband and I moved to Florida from Dallas, Texas and bought this amazing home when it was about 80% complete. Alex added many upgrades and almost built the home for himself to live in! He paid attention to many features which we did not even know about since we moved here from out of state, so we have been able to enjoy knowing that this home was built to last! We will enjoy living here for many years to come. Thanks Alex and Tom!

My in-laws came across an ad in the newspaper for a new home for sale and under construction in Palm Harbor. They called and made an appointment to meet with Alex the Owner of the company on a Saturday morning. We needed the assistance as we were relocating from Texas and were not in town to look at new homes and/or meet with any new home builders. After meeting directly with the OWNER of the company, the reports from them about the meeting were very positive. We then contacted Alex directly on his cell phone, flew in from Texas, and met him at the home under construction. We loved the home, and it was almost completed, but we needed to add an additional full bathroom and convert an area to a study for our family; plus we needed it all to be done in 45 days. I do not think most builders would have been this accommodating to our needs, nor been able to get it done, but he did. We have been in our new home now for almost 4 months, and we couldn't be happier with the fit and finish, floor plan, and everything else you would expect in a new custom home. 5 stars, a job well done !

I contracted with Alex for my new custom home build in 2017 after obtaining bids from several home builders. Alex gained my confidence by promising me he would build me the beautiful house on the block. He made good on that promise. Alex and his team were always very responsive and the result was exactly what I envisioned . I could not be happier with my dream home and would highly recommend Southern Image Homes.

My wife and I purchased an awesome piece of lakefront property, had plans designed and were looking for a contractor to build our dream home. A very good friend recommended Alex and after our first meeting I knew he’d be building our home. Alex and Tom were very flexible and a pleasure to work with. Without a doubt, if I were going to build again Alex would be the first and only call.

My wife and myself are very picky when it comes to Homes. We both seek expert craftsmanship as well as a workable room flow. I have had two houses built by southern Image, (one rented which lead to us buying one) because we liked the layout so much. When it comes to quality Alex and his crews really seem to take their time to make it right. TONS of storage, we would definitely would like to buy another home built by Southern Image, if they serviced Louisiana. We still have our beautiful Florida home, and plan to keep it till we retire. I know it will last!

Being in the real estate business, I have seen a lot of builders products. My husband and I decided on Alex and Southern Image homes because his quality of products and fit and finish work. He uses level 3 or higher products and refuses do anything substandard. From the 8 ft solid core doors, to travertine tile throughout, double pane insulated low E windows, insulated garage doors, frameless glass shower enclosures, crown molding throughout, the list is endless. Most other builders will hit you with upgrades or change order fees. Any changes Alex was "no problem" and fair with us on pricing. He provides you with direct contact information for his subcontractors before and after the build and they have worked with his for years, which says a lot. We could not be more happier with our new home. We spent countless hours looking and speaking to builders and I am happy to say we made the best decision in hiring Alex and Southern Image Homes. Thank you Alex, Tom and Sandy you definitely are the best!!

If you are looking for a outstanding builder in Pinellas County. Look no further. Alex is without question the best builder that I have ever dealt with. He is honest and incredibly detailed with every aspect of the construction process. I am in the Real Estate industry and have had the pleasure of working with Alex on a number of projects and have never been disappointed. He is always available and exceedingly patient. I truly enjoy that there are no surprises or hidden charges. I have worked with a number of builders throughout the years and was always amazed at the "up charges". That is never the case with Southern Image Homes. As Alex always says he doesn't know how to build a cheap house! If you are looking for an honest and fair builder who is responsive. Alex is your guy!

Working with Al, Tom and Sandy at Southern Image Homes was wonderful! You always hear horror stioties when building a home, but our experience was just about as perfect as you can get.
From the very first meeting to our final walk through, true professionalism was their priority.
Not only was our timeline followed, but the constant communication and updates kept us in the loop and aware of everything that was going on each step of the way.
The icing on the cake...the masterpiece they built for us. Our custom home turned out better that I could have hoped for. Their attention to detail was a great fit for our high standards.
You cannot go wrong by choosing Al and his team at Southern Image Homes. They are truely experts in their field!!

My wife Azure and I met Alex purely by accident. The condo we were renting had been sold and we were in the market for a new place to live.
We were driving through a hidden neighborhood, looking for homes for sale, and came across one of Alex's lot signs. My wife said, "Let's call and ask about building a home, it can't hurt to ask". The thought of having our dream home built from scratch never occurred to us.
We contacted Alex and the next thing you know, our home was under construction. He worked with us every step of the way. He put us in contact with all of his sub-contractors, his finance people and most importantly, his foreman, Tom. His sub-contractors and foreman were knowledgeable, and extremely courteous. They each have had long-term relationships with him and were pleased to assist us. They explained to us all of our options and walked us through our selections. We were on a tight budget, but yet they met our needs with outstanding quality. We found that even Alex's minimum accessories included in the build have higher than normal standards.
Being from a manufacturing and engineering background, I was very pleased in the construction and the framework of the home. The fit and finish was clean and to my own standards. We were even permitted to add some of our own custom features ourselves while the home was under construction.
We now have our dream home. The neighborhood is wonderful and our home is beautiful. We couldn't be happier with the finished product. We would recommend Southern Image Homes to anyone looking to build.
Thank you, Alex and Tom, for building our stunning home.
