  Building a custom home is not for the faint of heart, and anyone who tells you the process will be perfect from start to finish is probably not being honest. My home on Davis Islands in Tampa was a long journey with its share of challenges, changes, and unexpected hurdles, but what ultimately matters are how those challenges are handled. That is where Cogdill Builders earned this 5-star review.<br><br>Mike Cogdill remained engaged throughout the process and consistently stepped in when issues needed attention. No custom build is without bumps, but Mike took ownership and worked through them to get us across the finish line. His commitment to delivering a quality home was evident from start to finish. Mike was always available by text and phone to answer my questions and address my concerns. His years of experience in residential construction were invaluable in helping me make critical decisions during the entire project.<br><br>A very special thank you also goes to Emiliya, whose guidance on design selections was invaluable. She helped bring the vision together through thoughtful recommendations on the kitchen design, bathroom finishes, flooring selections, paint colors, and countless details that can quickly become overwhelming during a custom build. Her design expertise helped turn a collection of ideas into a cohesive home that feels both beautiful and functional.<br><br>The craftsmanship and quality of construction are outstanding. The house is truly "built like a tank," which was especially important given its location on Davis Islands. The home was designed and constructed with resilience in mind, including features intended to help withstand severe weather, flooding, and storm surge conditions common to Florida coastal living.<br><br>Today, when I walk through the finished home, I see a well-built, thoughtfully designed custom house that I will enjoy for many years. For anyone considering a custom builder in the Tampa area, I can confidently recommend Cogdill Builders, Mike, Emiliya, and the entire team.

  We built a 4k sqft home in Largo this year with Cogdill builders. If you’re looking for a builder in the Tampa Bay Area, Mike is the real deal. I can't say enough about how great he is to work with!<br><br>Mike was always available, whether it was answering a random question or driving across town to help with something in person. He genuinely knows construction, and more than once he steered us away from decisions we would have regretted later. Mike also added little things along the way that we never would have thought to ask for, since this was our first build, and we already appreciate those things.<br><br>We planned everything out with Mike, went through the whole permitting process, and he went out of his way throughout the actual build to make sure things were what we wanted. He was reasonable about changes and open to pivoting, his goal is to build the house you love and he’s flexible to get you there.<br><br>Mike is well respected among his subs. He hires great guys, and the relationships he has with them show in the work. The craftsmanship in our home is top notch.<br><br>Beverly has all her ducks in a row and made everything easier. Savion is incredibly helpful and thorough. The whole team's attention to detail is on another level.<br><br>If you want a builder who actually cares about getting it right and supporting you the whole way through, this is your team. We love our home and can't wait to fill it with memories!! Thanks so much Mike!

  Cogdill Builders of Florida built our custom home in South Tampa, and we could not be happier with the final result.<br><br>My wife and I decided to tear down our older home and build a new single-story pool home that would meet our needs now and in the future. We contacted several builders, but many either wanted to buy the lot themselves and build a spec home, required extremely high budgets, or would only build one of their standard plans with no changes.<br><br>We wanted a true custom home, so we searched online and found Cogdill Builders of Florida. After speaking with the owner, Mike Cogdill, and reading his excellent reviews, we scheduled a meeting.<br><br>Mike came to our property, measured the lot, researched the site, and listened carefully to what we wanted. Our goal was a single-story concrete-block home with the appearance of a two-story house, approximately 4,000 square feet, three bedrooms, three bathrooms, an oversized two-car garage, large front porch, open floor plan, high ceilings, a pool, and a large lanai with an outdoor kitchen.<br><br>Cogdill Builders designed the home specifically for our lot and worked to maximize the available space. We reviewed the plans with Mike, made changes, and adjusted certain details to make the design work structurally.<br><br>Throughout construction, Mike was open to our questions and changes. As the plans became a real house, we realized that some of our original ideas needed to be modified. Mike helped us add a window, move walls, revise electrical items, modify the custom cabinetry, improve the foyer, add moulding and trim details, and create a custom media wall.<br><br>We lived only a block away, so we were able to watch the home being built. The quality and attention to detail were obvious. Neighbors and people walking by regularly commented on how solid and precise the construction was.<br><br>The concrete-block work was especially impressive. The masons carefully placed and leveled every block. That same attention continued through the plumbing, trusses, windows, roofing, electrical work, carpentry, doors, flooring, tile, and marble.<br><br>Gary, the carpenter, did exceptional work. He built a custom all-wood coffered ceiling in the living room, installed beautiful moulding and trim, and completed the solid eight-foot doors. Everyone who visits our home comments on the quality and craftsmanship.<br><br>A true custom home takes time, and there were moments when we became frustrated with the pace. However, we learned that custom construction is very different from buying a production home. We selected nearly everything, made changes during construction, and received a home built specifically for us.<br><br>The finished home is stunning, solid, and exactly what we hoped for. We feel fortunate to have found Mike and Cogdill Builders of Florida.<br><br>We would hire Mike again without hesitation and highly recommend Cogdill Builders of Florida to anyone considering a custom home.<br><br>Thank you, Mike, for building a beautiful home that we will enjoy for the rest of our lives.<br><br>Derek & Marlene<br>South Tampa, Florida

  Working with Mike and the Cogdill team has been an absolute pleasure. As a family with young children, two parents working from home, and an aging grandparent, we wanted to build a home that would comfortably meet everyone’s needs—both now and in the years to come.<br><br>Before beginning the design process, we toured one of Cogdill’s homes under construction and were immediately impressed by the exceptional quality of the craftsmanship. Mike also visited our property multiple times to evaluate the home’s orientation, determine the necessary clearing, and ensure the design would make the most of the site.<br><br>With Mike’s guidance, we designed our dream home: a four-bedroom, four-bath home featuring two en-suite bedrooms to accommodate a grandparent, a butler’s pantry, a spacious kitchen, a dedicated office, abundant storage, and a convenient pool bath. Throughout the process, Mike provided thoughtful, practical design advice and demonstrated a deep understanding of what makes a home both functional and comfortable for everyday living.<br><br>As our vision evolved, Mike and his team were incredibly patient and accommodating, working closely with us through numerous design revisions. Their professionalism, expertise, and commitment to creating a home that truly reflected our family’s needs made the entire experience enjoyable.<br><br>We couldn’t be happier with the design of our home and highly recommend Mike and the Cogdill team to anyone looking for a builder who combines exceptional craftsmanship with outstanding customer service.

  Mike Cogdill built us a beautiful custom home. Despite some delays, we moved in a little over a year after the lot clearing was completed. We communicated over many custom details, and he was able to help us through some complications (like having to store materials due to items being discontinued). We look forward to many years here.
