Donna LynneMeet Donna

Donna Lynne worked her way through the ranks in the male-dominated field of custom home construction earning awards, accolades, and respect along the way. For over 20 years, Donna Lynne has been focusing on the construction of higher-end homes and custom remodeling. What started as just a job working for a builder in Gainesville, Florida almost 40 years ago, turned out to be a discovered passion. Learning the processes behind color selection, design elements, financing, and real estate, she proudly earned her license to operate on her own and perform her ideal job.

Donna Lynne’s professionalism extends well beyond the construction industry as proven by her commitment to her family and the community. This busy wife, mother of three, grandmother of four, and avid Gator fan is involved in the following:

HeatherMeet Heather

The VanPuymbrouck family moved to Amelia Island when Heather was just 5 years old. She has fond memories of growing up in this small-town community and hopes to continue in her mother’s footsteps of building long-lasting friendships while helping people create a place to call home!

As a former middle and high school teacher, Heather brings an organized approach to coordinating multiple subcontractors, selection details, and the components that make your custom home special. Heather enjoys the daily challenges that present themselves throughout the construction process and is always willing to problem solve to find a solution that works for all parties involved.

Heather has been mentoring under Donna Lynne since 2016 and has already achieved the difficult task of earning her Florida Builder’s License.
