Areas We Build In

Covenant Homes has been building in West Central Florida for more than 30 years – Pasco, Pinellas, Hernando and Hillsborough Counties. Here are some of the communities we build in currently. This list is not exhaustive, though. If you already own a lot in Florida and you’d like to build a home on it, we can help.

Key Considerations for a Coastal Home

When evaluating a site for your custom coastal home, there are some key factors to consider to make sure you’re choosing the perfect spot for your dream home.

Understanding Flood Zones

Coastal Zones Explained

AE Zone: The AE zone is typically found in areas that are subject to flooding during a 100-year flood event, which has a 1% chance of occurring in any given year. Buildings in this zone are required to have their lowest floor elevated to at least one foot above the Base Flood Elevation (BFE). This helps minimize flood damage while ensuring compliance with local building codes and insurance requirements. Sometimes flood compensation requirements are involved so a civil engineer should be consulted to determine the feasibility of these requirements.
V Zone: The V zone, or Velocity zone, is located in areas where wave action can cause significant flooding and erosion during storms. Structures in this zone must be elevated to a height that is at least one foot above the BFE, and they must be supported by pilings, columns, oversized footers, and breakaway walls. This design is crucial to withstand the forces of moving water and reduce the risk of structural damage.
Coastal A Zone: The Coastal A zone is an intermediate area between the AE and V zones, where wave action is less severe but still poses a flood risk. Structures in this zone are also required to be elevated above the BFE, though the exact height requirements can vary based on local regulations. The building requirements for Coastal A zones are very similar to those required in VE zones.
Conclusion: Understanding these zones is essential for coastal home building. At Covenant Homes, we are committed to guiding our clients through the complexities of coastal construction to ensure that their homes are safe, resilient, and tailored to their needs.

Soil Composition

Water-adjacent properties often have varying soil compositions, such as sand, silt, clay, and organic material, which can significantly impact the stability and suitability for construction. A geotechnical report provides a detailed analysis of the soil composition. This report is required when the property is in a coastal flood zone as it has an effect on the design and cost to build.

Environmental Considerations

Assess any environmental restrictions or protected areas, such as wetlands, that may impact construction.

Custom Foundation Solutions

Building near or on the water may require specialized foundation techniques like pilings, piers, or deep foundations. The geotechnical report provides essential data to design these foundations correctly.

Benefits of Building a Custom Home

Why is it Better to Build Your Home?

Hurricane Resilience

New homes in Florida often adhere to the latest building codes, incorporating modern construction techniques and materials that enhance resilience against hurricanes and severe weather conditions. This can provide a greater sense of security and potentially reduce insurance costs.

Energy Efficiency

New homes are designed with energy-efficient features such as advanced insulation, high-efficiency HVAC systems, and energy-saving appliances. This can result in lower utility bills and a smaller environmental footprint compared to older homes.

Modern Design and Features

New homes offer contemporary design options, layouts, and amenities that cater to modern lifestyles. From open floor plans to smart home technology integration, new constructions provide the opportunity to customize and enjoy the latest trends in home design.

Warranty and Reduced Maintenance

New homes often come with warranties, providing peace of mind regarding major structural components and systems. Additionally, since everything is brand new, maintenance costs are typically lower in the initial years compared to older homes that may require immediate repairs or upgrades.

Customization Opportunities

Building a new home allows for greater customization. Buyers can work with builders to personalize floor plans, choose finishes, and tailor the home to meet specific preferences and needs. This level of customization is often challenging to achieve in older homes.

Resale Value

A new home typically has a higher initial resale value than an older home. The modern features, energy efficiency, and warranty can be attractive to future buyers, potentially resulting in a better return on investment.

We had a wonderful experience with Covenant Homes in the entire building process. The designing, planning and building-- all of the process was 5 stars. Dean Williams spent so much time with us during our build and whenever he comes to check in, he is never rushed and always patient. We highly recommend Covenant.

We love our new home. Throughout the build the Covenant staff stayed in touch answering our questions the same day. We had shopped around a lot and everyone we spoke with had only positive comments and proved to be the case for us. And after we moved in we still had minor changes and the crew was quick to respond. We made a smart choice going with Covenant.

My wife and I recently had a great experience working with Covenant Homes building a new home in Dunedin, FL. Covenant helped us evaluate the homesite before we purchased it, directed us to an architect that they work with for a custom plan, procured all permits, and then they did fantastic job building the home. The Covenant Homes owners and staff are very knowledgeable, and they have excellent consultant and tradesman contacts that make the permitting and construction process go smoothly. Communication from their office and field project manager was always timely. We found Covenant Homes to be fair and honest with cost budgeting and pricing. We are very happy with the construction quality and have already recommended Covenant Homes to others.

We recently completed a perfect home in Palm Harbor FL. Dean W. Dean B. David W. Christina, and Amaryllis have been wonderful to work with. Their work is high quality and we could not be more happy. We strongly suggest Covenant for anyone looking to build a home in the Tampa Bay or surrounding areas. We will ONLY build with Covenant Homes. My wife and I could not be more grateful for what they have done for our family.

We love our custom home. We are so glad we chose Covenant to build our home. With all the issues with contractors and workmanship.these days it was a breath of fresh air to not have to micromanage every aspect of the build. We were able to take one of their existing plans and create our own floorplan that suited our needs. Our only regret was not being able to have Dean as our project manager. Just as an example of how vested this company is on a holiday weekend my other half accidently drilled through a water pipe in the wall. Dean immediately sent the plumber out to help and coordinated the fix with drywall and painters.

I had a fantastic experience with Covenant Homes. The final product is far beyond my expectations - beautifully built home. It looks like a custom home! The Covenant team was always very professional and courteous - and most importantly, the team communicated exceedingly well. Unexpected issues arise in every construction project, however, Covenant’s communication and efforts to minimize delays while maximizing quality was outstanding. They were always honest with me and helped me keep my expectations realistic. I will absolutely use this builder again - 5 out of 5 stars all day long!

Covenant Homes recently built my family an AMAZING home in the city of Dunedin and I can’t say enough about the actual experience!Like many families, we struggled with the very tough real estate market in Tampa Bay. We had a lengthy discussion with our realtor to see if building was an option and determined that it would be a good fit. During our research process, we stumbled across Covenant Homes and set up our fourth meeting with a builder to see if they would be able to help us get exactly what we wanted. We quickly realized that we were exactly where we needed to be, and we no longer had to settle on homes that didn’t 100% fit our needs.Covenant was able to articulate the entire process from start to finish and even assisted us with finding a perfect lot in the location we desired. They’re a family-owned business and provided a white glove treatment that was unmatched. While most builders will tell you to buy everything so they can make more money, Covenant was able to let us know where spending more money made sense based on our needs and what the benefits were, while steering us away from upgrades that weren’t necessary as many of their standard options are more than sufficient.The amazing recommendations and their prompt responsiveness really took an enormous amount of stress of our backs. I was able to pick up the phone at any time with any questions and John & Dean were able to get me a quick answer and treated me with nothing but respect. Even after we moved in, they’re still checking to make sure we’re happy and if we need anything. I’d highly recommend taking a meeting with Covenant if you’re looking at building as an option and have recommended them to friends and family.Thanks again to the entire Covenant team as you were a joy to work with!

This was our forth new-construction home and our first with Covenant Homes. This builder took us completely by surprise in terms of customer service, quality, responsiveness, and downright honesty. They were up front from the start regarding timelines and expectations throughout the build process. Dean and every person in the various crews were professional, courteous and focus on you in the moment. They listen. There was a continued, genuine interest in providing top-quality work, while assuring the details and modifications to the house were installed exactly as we wanted. We would certainly build with Covenant Homes again and give our highest recommendation.

My husband and I just moved into our new home about a month ago. I find it difficult to express in words just how happy we are with Covenant homes. They have been upright from the beginning all the way thru. I give the glory to the Lord as how He has used Dean and all his team to bless us thru this time. They’re work is and has been done with excellence from beginning to end and have made this a wonderful experience for us. Thank you Covenant homes and May the Lord increase you according to His will!

We had a great experience with Covenant Homes! This was the first house that my husband and I have built so going into the process, we didn't know what to expect and we had some worries. Covenant made the experience easy and they were there to help with anything we needed. Our home turned out great and we have gotten many compliments. Even after our home was completed, Covenant was there (and still is) to help with any issues that arise. We enjoyed working closely with Dean and John and would recommend Covenant Homes to anyone looking to build a new, beautiful home!

When we decided to build a home we heard many stories from people that made us nervous. You know I’m sure. We met with 3 builders including Covenant. It was an easy decision to go with Covenant. Both Dean and David met with us several times before we started the build and through the whole process they were always available to answer even the most mundane questions with grace.No build is without some issues and Covenant addressed issues quickly every time. We made a few changes along the way and I cringed some thinking there might be a charge. Covenant made changes for us without question when they were reasonable.We are extremely happy with our home built by Covenant! If we were ever to build another home I would only work with Covenant… But we are pretty happy with this one so I don’t think it will be for a while. 😊Steve and Ildiko Baker

Covenant completed our beautiful home in July 2018. They cared about providing us with a product that equaled what they would provide for their own family. Dean responded quickly and fairly throughout the process to all our questions and concerns as well as supporting us after we moved in. Since July 2018 we have purchased another home from Covenant and have just referred a couple to them to build the couple their home. That is the true testimonial of the trust and confidence we have in Covenant.

Gene Ellis

Covenant Homes built a guest house and gazebo for us in Clearwater. The architecture and style blend in perfectly with our main house. Our neighbors and even passersby frequently stop to admire and then to comment favorably on both the structures and the landscaping. We are now relaxing and enjoying our new additions. Thank you, Dean, and especially John!

Steve Jarae

The Team at Covenant Homes recently finished building our dream home. We just love it. Building a new home on an undeveloped lot always comes with delays and "speed bumps", it is how these challenges are dealt with that separate a business from the rest of the pack. The Covenant Home Team, was always thoughtful, caring and truly wanted us to be happy with our new home. I strongly recommend Covenant Homes and would certainly use them again.

Lynn Reduzzi

1561746458

We had our home built in 2015 and working with Covenant and Dean was a very pleasant experience. One of the thing that stood out about this builder for example there was a wall in one of the bedrooms that did not have equal space on both sides of the window and Dean had this corrected even though the plans where like this when he saw it he said it looked wrong and wanted the wall moved to match the other side. This told me that he cared about the quality and look of the house that he was building. If I build again it will be with Covenant Homes.

Richard Cantelmo

We began our process of have a new home built in late 2016 with the purchase of some acreage in East Pasco County. The realtor who helped us with the land purchase recommended Covenant Homes to build our home.. We met with David and Dean Williams a number of times in those early days. They helped in many ways to insure the property was within County regulations and and fit our desired home plan. Dean and David were always available for questions and good advise. We have built a few homes in the past. This home took a little over a year to build and everything went very smooth. And a major question most home buyers worry about, does Covenant Homes take care of issues after the Certificate of Occupancy, and the answer is a resounding, yes! All issue were minor and resolved immediately. We love our home and would recommend Covenant Homes without hesitation to everyone.

I have been living in my Covenant Home for a year and a half. I absolutely love it! It was the first time I built a home and many people warned me about the headaches building brings. Not so with Covenant! Dean Williams and his entire team are top notch professionals and walked me through every step. Even last minute changes that I made were never a problem. I highly recommend Covenant Homes!

Min Stevenson

My husband and I never built a home before, nor own one, so it was a new and unfamiliar experience for both of us. We were in great hands with Covenant Homes. Dean was so patient and helpful in guiding us through the whole build process, design, fixtures, etc. You truly get honesty, quality, and professionalism when you work with Covenant Homes!

A year ago, Covenant Homes built my retirement home in lovely Dunedin.

Could not be happier with the house Covenant Homes built for my husband and me in Dunedin, FL. Fabulous to work with and followed through beginning to end and way past the occupancy. We had builders in the past and were wary but the Williams family and those working for them are as ethical and they come. And, equally as nice!

Tom Marth

1560827361

After interviewing 3 different home builders in our area, we chose Covenant Homes. They gave us a very competitive bid. We liked that they were a family owned and operated company. We were not disappointed with our choice. We found them to be very flexible and accommodating to work with. They always strived to satisfy our requests. Their workmanship was high quality and they stand behind their work. They were always fair and honest. We are very pleased with the quality of our new home. We would not hesitate to recommend Covenant to build your next home.Tom and Pam Marth

I have had the honor of working with Christina and Dean on several occasions and have found them to be exceptionally nice people. I've photographed several of the homes that they've built and can honestly say that I'm very impressed with the built quality and design of every home I've been in! When I'm ready to have a home built, I will definitely be asking Covenant Homes to build it for me! Very highly recommended!
