OUR STORY

  
     Good Apple Homes is a close knit family owned and operated company specializing in custom homes and log cabins. With our care and attention to detail, alongside our few office staff, we are able to offer customers the luxury of ultimate customization. From blueprints to baseboards, we are available to walk our clients through each step of making your custom dream home a reality. We are located in Williston, FL but service all of North and Central Florida.

​    Good Apple homes, started by Jeff Gutapfel, began in 1992 with simple residential framing contracts. In 1996, Jeff started building “from the ground up” after receiving his General Contractors license. Good Apple homes, at the time “GADCO” , continued framing residential and commercial properties and purchased property for development in 1998. From this point GADCO took off, until the Real Estate Market took a tumble in 2008. Our company, like many others, fell on tough times during the recession. While perseverance is always key, we continued along, getting a leg up with weatherization contracts from the state and federal government as part of the “American Recovery Act” in 2014.
​
   As the interest in Real estate rose once again, so did interest in custom homes. With our new lease on business, the swap to Good Apple Homes seemed appropriate. In 2014 we began dipping our toes into log cabin construction, which has quickly become a favorite of employees and clients alike. ​
