Jay Anderson of Edgewood Contractors has taken care of our construction needs for fifteen years, since our home on Longboat Key was completely renovated, and many projects since, large and small, including installation of a walkin tub for my disabled wife. He has always found time to help us, no matter how busy he was. Complex problems found novel solutions. It is a a pleasure to recommend Edgewood Contractors and Jay as complexly dependable and reliable.

Edgewater Contractors and Jay Anderson built us an extraordinary home in Emerald Harbor on Longboat Key. I have built many homes over the years as well as several commercial buildings, but this journey was probably the best that I have ever encountered. The fact that Jay and I still have a close relationship 7 years later, speaks to the integrity of him, his company, and the entire process. Building a multi-million dollar custom home is fraught with potential landmines. If you are looking for cheap, you will always get what you pay for..but if you want it done right, first find a company whose core values and principals are in sync with yours. Then even if you do have a disagreement, you will always be able to find a fair and equitable resolution. My wife and I have no regrets about allowing Edgewater Contractors to build our home on Longboat Key!

Jay Anderson does high quality workmanship. His subcontractors are excellent and he will not forgo the quality of his work with a lesser subcontractor. Sometimes one waits longer than anticipated for a subcontractor who is busy; but, it is worth the wait, as the job gets done correctly. Jay is honest and trustworthy. If he says he will do something, he does it. If a mistake is made, he corrects it. Sometimes he finds the mistake that is unknown to the customer, he advises the client and makes the correction. He does not cut corners or use inferior materials and he abides by all town codes and state regulations. He is a gentleman, a pleasure to work with and treats you as a client for life. Jay did a complete remodel of my condo 10 years ago and custom built my new home this past year. He is a choice you will not regret.

Jay + his team are wonderful to work with! From a design professional’s point of view— Edgewater was professional, great at communication throughout the project and really worked with us hand in hand to problem solve as we encountered those unforeseen issues that always come along with renovation projects. Their team really works hard to make sure their clients are happy with the end result which is really important to me as the Interior Designer. We truly value their team approach on projects and look forward to the next one together!

I’ve been in business for 20 years and dealt with a ton of contractors. There are a lot of contractors out there that say they sell quality and they don’t. On top of that they charge too much. With Edgewater Contractors you definitely get what you pay for. I’ve worked on Jay Anderson’s jobs for 15 years and one thing he always has is excellent subcontractors. Jay is unlike most contractors. He is a man of integrity and will do whatever it takes to deliver you a solid, sound home built with excellence. The way it should be. He will not take shortcuts to save money or make a better profit. Jay maintains a level of unparalleled quality with his construction that very few contractors can match. Leave no doubt in your mind about going with Jay Anderson of Edgewater Contractors.

My husband and I purchased a unique high end home on Longboat Key. We knew what we needed to do to renovate the property to our vision. The house is complicated and sophisticated. This required extensive knowledge of the structure and transforming areas such as the kitchen, bathrooms, bedrooms, ceilings and more. Jay Anderson took us onboard and took the bull by the horns. There were nuances to projects that Jay always came up with answers to, that others may have backed away from and say it could not be done. Not Jay . . . he tackled the challenges with grace and conviction. Quality is always the priority with him. His subs are excellent and there was never an issue with anyone he chose to work with us. They were all skilled and professional. I would bounce design ideas off Jay always, and many times he led me to a resolution that was better than I envisioned. His knowledge of construction is outstanding. I am sure he saved us money by avoiding mistakes we could have made. He came up with resolutions to problems with his years of experience. We could not have chosen a better contractor to create the final result we were after. All he did is lovely and our home is now complete and delightfully livable. Jay is professional and salt of the earth. I highly recommend Jay Anderson of Edgewater Contractors.

As an interior designer, details are very important. One of the things that I appreciate the most of Jay is that he does not overlook the details that I have thoughtfully included in my design. He asks for top notch workmanship from his subs and he is patient and very good when it comes to explaining the process. He is one of my favorite contractors to work with in Sarasota and I highly recommend him and his team.
