Several customers mention responsiveness and clear walkthroughs during complex renovations. There is at least one negative review citing dissatisfaction with a payment dispute and concerns about professionalism. Overall ratings suggest many positive experiences with a few critical exceptions.
My experience with Michael Yianilos was highly disappointing. Despite a written agreement, he failed to honor a relatively minor financial commitment of $750, only making the payment after I indicated that I would escalate the matter to legal counsel. This not only raises serious concerns about his integrity and professionalism but also leaves me questioning how he might handle larger, more significant responsibilities. If someone is unwilling to uphold their word on such a small matter, it casts doubt on their reliability in more complex projects. Trust and accountability are fundamental in any professional relationship, and unfortunately, both were lacking in this case. Based on this experience, I would not engage in any business dealings with him, nor would I recommend others to do so.
We've had the pleasure of working with Waterbrook Builders on two home projects - one addition and one custom home build. In addition to being a fabulous team to work with, their quality and responsiveness is second to none. Having lived in two of their homes for a combined 10+ years, we've experienced the high quality and attention to detail that truly make Waterbrook stand out. I would highly recommend partnering with their team!
Everyone knows that when diving into a renovation project - you MIGHT lose your mind. Not with WATERBROOK builders and their team. Seriously, if I could give this company 100/10, I would.In short, my wife and I purchased our home in Coral Ridge in December of 2019. Tom and Mike walked our home and told us about their vision. Instantly we trusted them, and we began. The entire time, both Mike and Tom walked us through every step of the process, and timeline which kept us both at ease. Not once did we feel as though we were being pushed into spending more money than we were comfortable with. Not once were we left in the dark about any decision involving our home.Paul, the quarterback on the field made sure that this entire project moved swiftly, neatly and with ZERO mishap. Paul was equally involved in every step of the process and knew exactly what was happening, what was being delivered, and what NEEDED to happen in order to meet the deadline. The materials used and selected in our home speak for itself. Almost 2 years after we moved in, EVERYTHING is flawless and SOLID. THIS is where WB shines above the rest and always will.Felicia, the office coordinator shows how valuable she is with her immediate response time to all emails, calls, texts, changes - you name it. What she brings to the table in terms of professionalism and knowledge in construction is just as important as the guys building the home we now live and adore today.I can not say enough greatness about the WATERBROOK builders team. Every single person on the team has played an equally important part in making our house a home. I’m not sure if we will move - we love our home that much. But if we do, we will 1000% use WATERBROOK builders again.Hire them- you will not regret it!
Dreams do come true….my husband and I decided to build our “dream” home but we were completely clueless about where to even start. Thank goodness, we were told about Waterbrook Builders. We met with Tom Yianilas and “team” Waterbrook and we were immediately put at ease. They took our very challenging situation and figured out the best and quickest way to build us a home that is even more beautiful than my husband and I could have wished for. I am incredibly grateful to Waterbrook Builders and I am very honored to live in a Waterbrook home.
I have had the pleasure with working with Waterbrook builders on 3 separate projects I personally have developed. They have built 2 beautiful luxury custom homes for me with in the past few years and built the iconic Lester’s Diner of Pomoano beach. We have been in business since 1967. So, It was important for me to choose a company I could trust when it comes to sticking by their word on timeline and budget. From the beginning of all the projects I have completed with Waterbrook, it was handled with utmost professionalism. Tom, Paul, Michael, Felicia and Matt are a great team and will continue to do business with them on all future projects. If you are looking for a company to stick by the quality of their work, knowledge of construction and all around expertise. Then, you have found this wonderful company. My projects are listed among the other gorgeous homes they have built on their website. Thanks again to all of you for all your hard work. Was fun working together. See you on the next project.
