Charles Rinek, Builder of the Year
Charles Rinek
2006 Builder of the Year
Flagler Home Builders Association

At Charles Rinek Construction and Exquisite Homes, Inc. Charles and Jeanne Rinek believe that building your new home should be one of the most exciting and rewarding events that happen in your lifetime. We are honored when a family entrusts us to build their luxury home and we can do no less than build it as if it were our own. With planning and preparation the building process should be a smooth and rewarding venture. This introduction is the first step that we shall undertake to help educate you on our process and help guide you through this exciting time.

Each team member at Charles Rinek Exquisite Homes understands that choosing a builder is a major decision and will be approached by you in a thoughtful, unhurried manner. You know that hours invested at this point can save months of confusion and expensive time later during the building process. As we move forward together, you will
learn that you can trust this team to execute your plans for your dream home, to make this home fit your unique vision, that we will foster the proper environment for mutual respect, creative energy, and for communicative chemistry. We are confident that we will make this endeavor rewarding for you. We are committed to ensuring that you will not only enjoy a home of first quality, but that the experience proves to be truly "fun". Our business creed remains as follows: “We shall compare ourselves to an ideal of perfection, not to the examples of our competition.”
 

One may feel that the recent market downturn in new home sales is a time to await a general upturn in the residential market. But the fact remains that we industry leaders are encouraged by the recent but temporary slow down from the frantic pace of yesterday. Our intelligent buyers are aware that in fact the time is now to have their custom home dreams turned into reality. Now is the time that attention to detail is ever easier, that the equalization in material pricing and reasonable real estate pricing offers an unequaled opportunity to “buy low”. As we have watched this latest trend stabilize, and as we are now seeing the market turn upward, those of us with experience know that a “buyers market” will only last a short while.

Florida real estate is still the bargain people are looking for, and those thousands of retirees who search for the southern climate, the nearby breezy beach, the gorgeous golf course, and full amenity lifestyle will certainly long for the perfect community offered through Hammock Beach. The time for you to build is now perfect and we are the ideal builder who meets all of the criteria that you will use as you enter into the quest to have your dream home realized.

Charles Rinek has specialized in building luxury custom family homes full time since 1986. He and his wife Jeanne and his team work closely with each client to ensure that all of their questions are answered and options explained in order to tailor homes to their specific needs. We listen and we produce. As a result, our reputation for quality and services stands firmly on customer satisfaction. Indeed most of our work comes through satisfied clients who recommend us to their family, friends and prospective buyers. We have developed a stellar reputation in our community, having placed first for design and craftsmanship or in Best of Show or Showcase Home in each Parade of Homes entered.
Charles’ experience with construction started in 1976, working for a Florida Certified General Contractor as an apprentice tradesman. Over the ensuing years he was thoroughly trained in various phases of home building “in the field" by learning to perfect proficient skills for each task undertaken. Charles was employed as a job superintendent during his college years (University of Florida) and qualified to sit for the Florida Certified General Contractor's exam at a comparatively early age. After receiving his General Contractors license, Charles pursued his passion and began designing and constructing custom homes in the Florida Keys. Throughout the ensuing years he has built for various dedicated customers in different locations as they requested he travel to many locations throughout Florida, Colorado and Oregon. Settling in Palm Coast in 1992, he was determined to make a definitive statement in excellent home building. History has shown that he has and will continue to do just that, and his respect in the community has been earned home by home.

Jeanne Rinek has also been involved in the construction business for over twenty years. Her professional expertise in office management, in customer relations, and interior design are just some of the talents that that help her make the entire team run smoothly and efficiently. Working together, Charles and Jeanne prove to be an exciting pair that has dedicated themselves to reaching their common goal; one that serves their clients every need while building homes of unequaled quality.

Charles & Jeanne remain dedicated to each and every customer, each exceptional employee, to their respectable profession and to living in tune with their moral and religious beliefs. Charles is currently serving as Immediate Past President for the Flagler County / Palm Coast Home Building Association for the 2007 term. In this capacity, he is proud to promote our field of interests for our industry and those of our community. Having served as the HBA President in 2004 and again in 2006, he continues his dedication to the construction industry as he advocates responsible legislative restraints that will serve the various interests of the home buyer. Charles was further honored to have been chosen to be Flagler County’s Builder of The Year in 2006, and received the Realtor’s Choice Award during the 2008 Parade of Homes.

Like most successful organizations, this company revolves around the efforts of an excellent team. Each home that our team builds is specifically designed to fit a particular customer's needs and budget requirements. To have a true "custom" home built, the process requires more than simply choosing a few features from a short options list for a particular standard floor plan. It means perfecting individual ideas for each customer's "Dream Home". This may be initiated with the development of a unique floor plan design or through the review of a plan designed by others and furnished through the client. We then carry the preconstruction process through with an intensive study which covers all of the many options which are available for a particular plan. We remain passionate about perfecting this process. With each client, a truly custom home is carefully created to fit their desire for style, size, functionality, and personality fit.
As you know, home plans and features will vary greatly and therefore the pricing for each home will appear to have a difference as well. We strive to assemble a complete home building package that covers all the details of each phase of construction in order to address all the necessary costs of the total project. This is a "holistic" approach which leaves no stone uncovered and the result is a realistic view of all that is necessary for you to know the exact costs of your project from start to finish. We may then modify the size or features of the home to ensure that you will not be spending more on your home than your budget allows. This is extremely important to all of us who will be involved so that you will be comfortable and delighted with your home as you enjoy the building process without unnecessary stress.

The most advanced building products which are available will be utilized to ensure lasting quality and ensure an ease of maintenance. We must construct our homes using what we know to be the best available materials and most professional building practices. We strive to incorporate the latest in design and features in an ever changing home product market; we continue to initiate our own unique ideas which set a new standard for exciting detail. We require that each home uses the most practical advances in energy conservation design. As a result, we are confidant that each client receives the most in home building quality available for their investment.

For most custom homes, an accurate predetermined cost per square foot guide used for comparison may not be a useful tool for the prospective home buyer. One must be aware that pricing will vary according to plan specific features such as the complexity of exterior and interior design (ceiling heights, ceiling treys, multi story volume spaces) the roof design (complexity and roof surface material), flooring variations, (carpet, tile, wood, etc.) to name just a few. Lot development cost inclusions as well as neighborhood guideline requirements also need to be factored in order to create an accurate package cost. It is also true that when researching home pricing that various home's Living Areas are important to compare, but a factor that is just as important is the total area under roof. A larger Rear Porch, for example, does not affect the Living Area, but it will increase the cost, as will the cost of the finished surfaces, such as a tiled deck or porch finish application. The inclusions of these spaces and any specified monetary allowances for individual items are also critical figures to compare.

An often overlooked set of factors in a comparing home-building packages are those of the traits of the individual builders as well as the subcontractors each employs. Competency and trust are intangible traits which are hard to put dollar figures on. Who is actually the “qualified” builder and who runs the daily operations are not always one in the same person. As a regulated State Certified General Contractor, Charles is proud to offer to you the expertise ensured by those who hold this highest and most regulated grade of professional contractor license available from Florida's Bureau of Professional Regulation. As the actual license holder for his company, he alone qualifies his business and remains solely responsible to his clientele.

Individual subcontractors are paid according to their experience and level of expertise; the great ones command a higher price and the work that they perform is very evident as to the inherent quality in the end result of their labors. Those subcontractors who cover themselves adequately as to the required insurance policies and those who are properly licensed must charge accordingly for their services. Our team of subcontractors represents the best that America has to offer. We are blessed to have hired a finely crafted team of ultimately qualified and experienced professionals who each take pride in their workmanship. Our core group of craftsmen has been working for us and with each other for over a decade; and as a result, our consistently high end quality product is readily evident in each home that we build. Each of us at Charles Rinek Exquisite Homes believes that we are in an established business because we continually adhere to the highest discipline for quality. We hold attentive customer service and our superior product as the paramount reasons that our reputation stands alone in this community. We believe in letting our work and customers speak for us and we hope to include you in our list of thoroughly satisfied clients. Rest assured that we realize the depth of responsibility that we have in protecting your hard earned dollar and in bringing your life long dreams into a physical reality. Should you have any questions, require additional information, or prefer to set up an appointment to review this proposal, please do not hesitate to contact us at 386-446-5850. We are eager to partner with you to make your dream home come true!!
