    Great Custom Homes
    Our focused team has over 100 combined years of experience building custom homes in coastal communities
    such as Hammock Dunes, Hammock Beach, Ocean Hammock and Cinnamon Beach. We offer a proven, proprietary
    approach to the design and building process that allows you to savor every step of the creative and construction
    processes without worrying about unexpected costs and unwelcome surprises.

Custom Homes

There’s a reason why Machin was named “One of America’s Best Home Builders” by Better Homes and Gardens magazine.

We believe that designing and building a custom or semi-custom home that reflects your own unique taste and style is one of life’s most rewarding accomplishments. And, having designed and built many of Flagler County’s most extraordinary homes, we have the knowledge, wisdom, experience, and expertise required to make it a smooth, satisfying and exciting process at every step of the way.

We’re especially proud to have earned a 100% Customer Satisfaction rating from our clients in a recent independent survey conducted by Hammock Dunes, one of the many communities in which we build. We are also the only builder in Flagler County to have earned the Claim’s Free Award from Bonded Builders for 32 consecutive years.

Interior Design

Whether our clients are building a custom home, semi-custom home or renovating an existing home, the interior design process is one of the most exciting and creatively satisfying aspects of the project.

Janet Arnstein, our in-house interior designer, will work closely with you to understand your own taste and style. Whether your style is traditional, transitional, contemporary or eclectic, she’ll help you select the right finishes, such as lighting, flooring and cabinets for each space.

Pools by Machin

Like a cool blue sapphire or a dazzling aquamarine, a swimming pool is a thing of beauty forever, as long as it’s built according to Machin standards. When you’re building a luxury home, you’ll want a swimming pool that’s beautiful and fits your lifestyle perfectly. We will conduct compass bearing, light and shadow studies before designing your swimming pool to ensure it will complement your new custom home and that your swimming pool is properly sited on your lot for maximum enjoyment in every season. From there, we’ll use state-of-the-art materials and techniques to ensure that your pool is fully automated, energy efficient, and structurally sound for your peace of mind. If your dream includes outdoor rooms or a kitchen, we will include this design in the overall design of your home. We have been designing and building swimming pools for our clients for over 35 years.

Who we are

There’s a reason why Machin’s been in business for 42 years.

There’s an art to building fine homes in Florida. It requires years of hands-on experience with every season, a deep respect for Mother Nature and her whims, architectural and engineering expertise, and superior construction methods. Building luxury homes in Florida also demands a thorough understanding of the local and national economies, and a sincere desire to help clients make the most of their investment. Most of all, it requires integrity, accountability, and sincerity. When you consider the value of your emotional and financial investment, you deserve a team of people who truly care about you and your family, long after your home is finished.
