Custom residential construction across Citrus County
Building a home is one of the largest investments most families ever make, and the quality of the builder determines whether that investment pays off for decades. Citrus County Construction brings a disciplined, licensed approach to residential building throughout Inverness, Crystal River, Homosassa, Lecanto, Beverly Hills, Hernando, and Citrus Springs. We don’t just frame walls and hang doors — we engineer a structure that stands up to Florida’s heat, humidity, and hurricane season while staying comfortable and efficient year-round.
Our residential work spans custom single-family homes, detached guest suites, in-law structures, and specialty builds. Whether you’re putting a forever home on acreage in Pine Ridge or a compact, efficient residence on a lot in Citrus Springs, we tailor the plan, the structure, and the finishes to your land and your budget.
Built for the Florida climate and built to code
Florida construction demands more than good looks. Our region’s intense sun, driving rain, and storm risk mean a home has to be sealed, braced, and finished correctly the first time. We build to the current Florida Building Code, using impact-rated openings, properly detailed building envelopes, and roofing coordinated with properly licensed Florida roofing contractors when required. We coordinate engineering and pull permits through the Citrus County Building Division, then schedule every required inspection so nothing is left to chance.
Just as important is communication. From foundation to final walkthrough, you’ll always know what’s happening, what’s next, and who to call. That accountability — combined with code-compliant craftsmanship and clean, safe job sites — is why homeowners across Citrus County trust us to build where they live.
