Founded in 1987, The Fechtel Company is a fourth generation design-build firm whose mission is to seek excellence in all they do, operate with integrity and develop meaningful relationships with their clients. For generations it has been no different - as company president Jay Fechtel carries on a legacy established by family members who have distinguished themselves within the building industry for building not only lasting relationships, but also distinctive custom homes that emanate creativity and express the individuality of their owners.

Fechtel is a new home builder who designs most of the custom homes they build, and commitments are managed so their team is able to focus not just on building exceptional custom homes, but on building great relationships with their clients. They go beyond the commonplace, carefully pairing materials with design to create special custom homes that fulfill the owner's dreams in a practical, yet visually appealing way.

Achieving this requires a commitment to craftsmanship and personal attention to detail before, during and beyond the building process. This dedication makes a Fechtel custom home stand apart to be treasured by its owners and admired by others.

Their philosophy has helped the firm fulfill the visions and dreams of clients as well as earn countless awards and recognition for homebuilding excellence. Fechtel has received over 20 Aurora Awards and a Best in American Living Award, sponsored by the Southeast Building Conference and the National Association of Home Builders, recognizing overall design and energy-efficient construction. In addition, the firm is the only approved American Lung Association “Health House” builder in the Tampa Bay area. Fechtel is involved in his church, community and various professional associations and has served in numerous leadership roles.
