Custom Home Builder in Melbourne, FL
Kent Custom Homes has been building custom homes across Central Florida for more than 30 years, and our work stretches east to Brevard County. From Melbourne and West Melbourne to Palm Bay, Viera, and the rural lots of Grant-Valkaria and Malabar, the Space Coast has something the Orlando suburbs are running out of: land. If you’re building in the Melbourne area, we’ll design and build a custom home that fits the lot, the climate, and the way you actually live.
Why Melbourne Families Choose Kent Custom Homes
Building near the coast is different, and we build for it. Brevard County’s wind-load requirements, flood-zone rules, and coastal construction details call for a builder who plans for them from the first drawing — the right roof-to-wall connections, impact-rated windows and doors, and site drainage that handles a Florida summer. We handle permitting through the City of Melbourne, West Melbourne, Palm Bay, or Brevard County depending on where your property sits.
Families come to the Melbourne area for the beaches, the schools, the aerospace and tech jobs, and a slower pace than Orlando — and many of them want more than a production-builder subdivision can offer. That’s where we come in: an acre or five in Grant-Valkaria or west Palm Bay with room for a barn or workshop, a teardown-rebuild on an older lot closer to the water, or an infill lot in an established neighborhood. Bring us your own vision, or start from one of our proven floor plans and customize until it’s truly yours.
Build on Your Lot in Melbourne
Already own land in Brevard County? We’ll walk the property with you and talk honestly about what it takes to build there — elevation and flood zone, well and septic where there’s no utility service, land clearing, access, and what your lot can really support. Still looking? We can help you evaluate properties before you buy, so you know the land will work for the home you want.
What You Can Expect From Us
We’re a family-owned company and a licensed Florida General Contractor, and we’ve built hundreds of homes across Osceola, Orange, Seminole, Lake, and Brevard counties. You get honest, itemized pricing before you sign — no bait numbers. You get a dedicated project manager who gives you regular updates on your home. And you get a builder who’s still here after closing, because that’s how a 30-year reputation gets built.
