We loved working with Adam and Dana. They tackled an extensive renovation/expansion project with ease. We ended up with a great finished product. I would definitely work with them again.

A family in Ponte Vedra Beach came to us looking for more space and better flow for their busy household. Our solution combined both vertical and horizontal additions, giving them the room they needed while preserving the character of their home.
Highlights of the project included:
The result was a home that not only added significant square footage but also created private, functional spaces tailored to the family’s lifestyle. By building up and out, we helped them gain the flexibility they needed, without sacrificing the home and neighborhood they loved.

We have always wanted to build a custom home but never felt comfortable with anyone until we met John Merrill Homes. Adam and Dana along with the entire team immediately took us in and helped to ease our minds with what can be an overwhelming project. Adam and Dana together were able to guide us through the process and always willing to answer questions no matter how many we had. Adam is very professional and a great communicator with timelines and the ins and outs of what is taking place. Dana is extremely knowledgeable and resourceful always guiding us in the right direction in all stages of the process, especially design. We loved getting to know them through the build. They do incredible work building homes we are beyond pleased!
We highly recommend John Merrill Homes—they did a fantastic job on our home addition. They were competitively priced and completed the project on time. Everyone in the office communicated well and the team took the utmost care of our home. My husband works in commercial construction and has an understanding of what goes into the residential building process. He was thoroughly impressed by the JMH team. We are actually going to use them again soon!
I was very impressed because Adam actually listened to what I wanted in the house, he always said I want you to have what you want in the end. Our friends couldn’t believe that it was such an easy process. Along with the quality of the work, they were so impressed. What a pleasant experience this was, it was enjoyable and fun doing it with Adam.
We were fortunate to work with Adam Merrill and John Merrill Homes on the design and construction of our coastal home in South Jax Beach. From helping us secure the best homesite to drawing up the perfect floorplan, Adam worked tirelessly with us on all of the details that go into building a custom home. We especially appreciated his knowledge of best construction practices when building close to the beach. Throughout the process Adam was professional and easy to work with. The end result is a beautiful, well constructed beach home with fine finishes, built on time and on budget! We highly recommend Adam and John Merrill Homes, they are just awesome to work with!!
