If there was a "0" rating it would be it. Why? My wife and I visited the showroom to get some ideas on remodeling our bathroom. The receptionist was very pleasant with us. Then we were introduced to a salesperson (woman) who was very dismissive and saying that they were not accepting any other customers for a year and the price would start at $45k. Without hearing our needs. REALLY? I GUESS OUR MONEY WASN'T GREEN ENOUGH. BUYERS BEWARE.

It is a pleasure to recommend Yoder Homes and Remodeling. We entrusted the remodeling of our 20-year old Sarasota condominium to Yoder Homes. From the moment we began working with them, their team guided us with expertise, experience and a professional standard that was unrivaled. We are especially grateful to Amy Yoder who helped us conceive our project, and to Anna Harper for her support along the way.
The team, including an assigned project manager, was always available, informing us and communicating the progress throughout, dedicated from start to finish. The quality of the work was excellent and our "new" home is absolutely beautiful!

Yoder led our recent condo renovation and made the process enjoyable and completed it with great quality - I'd highly recommend them to anyone looking for a complex renovation project but don't want to worry about managing individual contractors.

Very highly recommended builder. Nice cabinet store, closet store, and flooring showroom. This is a first class operation that knows what its doing. Very knowledgeable builder. I like working with these folks but they are very busy.
