I Highly Recommend Bluewater... I live at "The Braxton Apts" Palm Bay, Florida for 11 years. I am retired so
renovations are never easy especially while people are still living in the space. IMO, this company did a great job with the kitchen and bathroom. All the crew were respectful, kind, detailed and did very nice work. Kudos go to the Superintendent Team: Renee, James, Austin, Hunter, Chris and Justin. I am the daughter of a Construction Superintendent and I know how tough it all can be. I can't even come up with enough words of how good they all are. I do recommend you

Bluewater Builders helped us every step of the way to bring our custom designed family home to life. From the first appointment with the graphic designer right through to handing the keys over, they were readily available and more than willing to offer advice and support. They are highly personable and professional and I couldn’t recommend them enough. Thank you so much for bringing our vision to life!! :-)

Workers from this company were contracted by the apartment complex I live in for interior renovations. I was out of town the two days work was being done on my unit. I came home to absolutely filthy floors with mud and boot marks. My bathroom and kitchen rugs were flung Willy nilly all over my apartment. The toilet brush flung in my closet hallway. My shower curtain off the rod tossed in the bathtub. The door to the patio left unlocked. The most disrespectful and unprofessional thing I discover was that my dinning room chairs were used as a stepping stool. They are now completely disgusting and

Bluewater builders have gone above and beyond with our renovation project. With what would be deemed the "impossible" no job was too big...they are absolute life savers. The attention to detail is second to none and I could not be more happier with the progress of our home.
